The kind of tongue in cheek statement that follows the accusation "you're drunk" with "I only had a couple," when we are clearly rat-arsed, is of no use to us in our quest to plunder the bookmakers.
Every single penny of the bankroll must now be accounted for every step of the way with no room for the "I'll do it later" attitude.
Quite simply, without this record keeping there is absolutely no possible way of getting an accurate picture of a betting campaign, and if it's left to memory we cannot hope to progress beyond the level of amateur punting.
Later comics, specifically the Cataclysm storyline, suggest that Batman has incorporated safeguards against earthquakes and even a potential nuclear catastrophe, outfitting the cave as a virtual bomb shelter or an enhanced panic room.
Three memorabilia items often seen in the cave are a defunct full-size mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex, and an equally large U.S. penny and a Joker playing card.
rex comes from an adventure on "Dinosaur Island;" the penny is a trophy from Batman's encounter with a penny-obsessed villain named The PennyPlunderer (in World's Finest Comics #30, 1947).
