Big Sam, Arbitrage, Mean Reversion and First Mover Advantage
Today I was listening to a podcast about Sam Allardyce, or Big Sam as he’s known colloquially. For those not familiar with him he’s a football manager who’s famous for taking the helm at struggling teams and saving them from relegation. Because of the way his teams play he’s often ridiculed but what’s not widely … Continue reading Big Sam, Arbitrage, Mean Reversion and First Mover Advantage
The Stop
Recently I put out a post asking what people would like me to write about and one person said they’d like something about the stop: That’s all well and good but there’s a lot written about the stop already. On top of that, it’s a physical movement and so you need to learn by doing. … Continue reading The Stop
Some Objective Standards For Looks
Looks matter, but how do we judge them objectively? In this post I’ve tried to lay down some guidelines for ratings and what that person might look like. Just remember: this is a bit of fun.

What’s Your Multiplier?
In this post I’m going to talk about the concept of multipliers: a handy tool to help show where a beginner or intermediate Daygamer’s weak points lay. I’ll be going through my stats from 2018 (the last time I kept full stats for a year) and from my recent Prague trip (the last time I … Continue reading What’s Your Multiplier?
40 lbs and Counting: My Weight Loss
