How does nobody get it? @PrizePicks ideal outcome is that 0% of cards get shipped out. They offer you $20 for a card they value at $25 that is worth $8. You keep churning your money til you have $0. It's a slot machine. That's the product
So PrizePicks gives me these free card pulls and I’m genuinely confused. I google some of these cards and their values and PrizePicks are offering usually $20-$40 more than I see online, so why would anyone keep the card? Am I missing something?

If I gather 100 random people who know nothing about a sport, give them $1000 each and tell them all to make 20 bets per weekend, over a month some will be up money, a few maybe even a lot, they might even think they are super sharp. This explains the entire pick-seller economy

Every 2 months more charlatans on my timeline selling picks. Some of them straight grifting, some of them legitimately think they are great because of short term positive variance. Always a scandal when their results regress to norm. Nothing I want to see less of than this stuff

And definitely do not kid yourself into thinking it’s sports-betting-specific. See the same general 24/7 in poker but those people don’t tend to instantly start selling coaching so it bothers me less. They just brag for a while and then go broke

In order to be a big winner at poker, DFS, Magic, sports betting, etc, it requires you to have a specific mentality shift. Once you have it, there’s certain things someone can say that instantly let you know they haven’t had it and are lying about whatever they are saying

It’s very frustrating the % of posts related to any of those topics I see that instantly give themselves away as fraudulent. The people making them don’t realize how obvious it is that they aren’t being honest. I imagine it’s similar in other jobs, this is just the one I know

Levitan is the GOAT
With baseball over I thought I’d listen to a football podcast on my commute. This is 20 minutes into the first episode I tried. Very helpful.

Nothing I’ve seen since has really made a case to compete. Single seasons that were Wire-quality in other showed but The Wire is in a tier of its own
Ok if you've never watched The Wire and are thinking about it after the New York Times list, watch this scene to help convince you to dive in. Incredible.

One thing I’ve really noticed is that newly serious poker players have a very easy time understanding variance when it is negative but can’t comprehend it at all when it is positive. Outside of extreme fringe cases they’ll never tell you they crushed today because they ran good
When estimating win rates 3 things are clear: 1. Ppl often mistake ideal conditions as a representation of the avg. 2. Ppl conflate timespan (months/years etc) with actual hand volume 3. There's minimal understanding of how negative sum games work, particularly the impact winners & rake have on the stability of an ecosystem.

Essentially the best short term winrate they’ve ever had is what they “should be winning”, anything under that is bad variance
