Wingsung 618 may be my favourite pen in my whole collection

The ink is a mix of Iroshizuku Chiku Rin and residual Caran d’Ache Hypnotic Turquoise left in the feed

This rarely happens

So I pay attention when it does

The stronger team is seldom undervalued by the bookies; much less when they're at home

The markets knew something my model didn't, as #AstonVilla played so poorly they made #Tottenham look like a Premier League side for the first time this season

(a broken clock is right twice a day)

Long term we are PRINTING money on this. Villa's European obligations meant we stumbled upon variance

Matchweek 34 Bets

🐺 Wolves have been on better form, despite being guaranteed relegation after West Ham drew to Palace. They’re at home this week against a Spurs side in terrible form - they have nothing to lose, but everything to gain

🦔 Got a little hedge with a draw in this game

What do you think of my other two bets this week?

🐦 Brighton 3 - 0 🔵 Chelsea

On paper, these teams are pretty similarly matched, but the way this game played out was anything but evenly matched

Brighton had 45% chance of winning. The Poisson distribution tells us all we need to know; the home side had 7% chance of netting three goals and maintaining a clean sheet

Chelsea? <1%

So it actually happened.. 🤯

Sure it’s not “valid”, but is there no such thing as common sense anymore?
