INSIGHT

Trap Week Killed The Card

  • Chad Millman and Simon Hunter emphasize variance is real and one unlucky week can undo prior gains.
ADVICE

Play The Number, Not The Story

  • Bet the number, not the narrative; small edges win over time even when outcomes feel lucky.
  • When a wager looks like it needs a miracle, prefer discipline over rationalizing desperation plays.
ANECDOTE
