I’ve placed well more than 1,000 bets in Weekend Wagers since launching the column more than three years ago and hope to place at least 1,000 more here eventually.
This week’s total number of wagers just won’t contribute to that goal much. For one week at least, I’m reverting to the original format of the column — five bets on five sports (well, it’s technically six bets this week but two on the same market and who’s really counting anyway?)
Writing up double that amount has its merits and more closely resembles my actual betting style, but it’s not much fun when it goes sideways last weekend.
