A New Strategy

Have been traveling for a few days so no playing.

It has now come to this. Week 4 of beat the host is upon us, and I am adopting a defensive strategy. The first three weeks I played to win the weekly contest, now I simply want to ensure qualifying for the final round, so this week’s strategy is just beat the host. I’ll look to get ahead of Jon White, the host, event by taking low odd wagers, and then once ahead simply covering his remaining picks, much like a tacking duel in yachting.

His picks this week are:
