Greg Waddell:
Little behind the curtains peek at how I approach writing these newsletters for youā¦
I usually pick a theme before starting the picks. I always want something a little abstract, a little random, a little out there that can somehow be tied into a specific pick or the entire mental approach to this weekās bets.
Well today I went golfing. And I shot a personal best (+12 84 at Eastern Hills Golf Course). Nothing to write home about. But a personal record.
Did I get the math wrong? Yes. #NotAMathPodcast
But that partās not important. The important part is: we can set records.
Some records are big like when Tom Brady sets the record for most Super Bowls or when Joey Chestnut sets the record for most hot dogs eaten in 15 minutes.
Some records arenāt big to the outside world, but dammit in our hearts they can be big. A quick run through of some of my personal records:
64-0 in postseason play in high school tennis matches
12-0 on tennis bets since Tuesday
38 consecutive days with a podcast episode
one (1) time I got offered to open for Chance the Rapper at the Loft in East Lansing and I turned it down because I had to go to my cousinās wedding
Okay that last oneās not a record but itās an accomplishment for my rap career and feels important to note. Yes I had a rap career. How could anyone resist bars such as these:
Half crazy, half-sane maybe.
Half afraid my other half is waiting to replace me.
Have to chase my dreams before they turn on me and chase me.
The flow is half Asher Roth and half Wayne Brady.
You could say I made records.
Iām getting off topic but you get the point.
Life is about versatility and productivity. You need both to set records. And you need both to win bets.
Which takes us to the best football betting week of the year. College football is in full swing (and more importantly we actually know things about each team now), and the NFL is finally here. And the US Open is still rocking and I quite literally cannot lose a bet there.
You have to bet with versatility. You have to bet productively.
You have to set records.
Onto the picksā¦ (records for record-keeping purposes below):
