The fact the he wrote a book period shows me that he’s an attention whore, a total idiot not thinking about the big picture, or both.  I’ve yet to meet anybody that did this for a living that would want to educate and teach people how to build models, scrape data from Pinny, etc etc advise on weak markets and strep by step what they do and create more competition in markets they’re specializing in.  J7 was always an attention whore.  He got really pissed when Thremp trashed his book (not that bad really) on Amazon and had to create a thread over it.

There are a lot of attention whores in this world, I wouldn't call Elihu one of them. 

The fact that he wrote a book that was one of the reasons why AFLGuru decided to work with him.

then why was his biggest bet ever on purdue -4500?  i think the smartest guys are the ones that stay under the radar, but his book was decent

He has largely stayed under the radar in comparison to some of the other dudes that love the attention. Especially some of these guys that practically beg for publicity 

Yeah, I had Purdue going out in the second round because of the freshmen guards that had gotten worse over the course of the year.

I'm sure they based a lot of the bet on history. No. 16 seeds are still just 2-150 against No. 1 seeds (likely justifying the bet to a degree in their minds), but there was a reason Purdue was -5000. I saw some of the same rationale among people backing Arizona ML at -1200 on Thursday.

I think the better bet was Pizzola taking All No. 1 seeds to win at -750

Any word on if fezzik or that other guy have commented on Purdue's loss?

Yeah. Elihu started laughing it off quickly. Fezzik apologized.

Elihu is one of the smartest guys in the gambling world. Funny to see all the Johnny come latelys trying to dunk on him.

Another great call.

-2.5 now, may want it before it climbs to 3.

I grabbed -2 at -115 at BOL. It's still available

More and more whispers that Federiko won't be healthy enough to play (or be a factor) for Pitt against Miss State. Tolu Smith could dominate if Federiko isn't on the court or at his best. Probably going to end up playing the Bulldogs

Something to keep an eye on

Holy shit, I just assumed it was an easy winner when I saw it was 2-0 Luqueno in the 70th minute. Had no idea all that happened. Craziness.

On Toledo and UCF

But she did get a page or two of Trumps tax filings.  

That was so embarrassing. She hyped it up like she found the Lindbergh baby

These WBC games have had some awesome atmospheres. 

Played Baylor at 28-1 already and looking at a few others 

For over a decade, low interest rates have allowed venture capitalists to accumulate huge funds to give increasingly unprofitable firms with unrealistic business models increasingly larger valuations—one 2021 analysis found that not only were 90 percent of U.S. startups that were valued over $1 billion unprofitable, but that most would remain so. Give me tens of billions of dollars and a $120 billion valuation and someday, somehow, I will replace every taxi driver with gig workers paid subminimum wages—or robot taxis paid no wages—while charging exorbitant fares for rides, increasing pollution, and adding to traffic. Or not, and I will sell off all the science-fiction projects I’ve promised, but still fail to make a profit.

One thing really stands out - these people know how to play the system.

1000%

Also it sounds like these VC types did it to themselves

Husband part may not be accurate. Someone in Discord may have been a little too over eager.

Also this:

Turns out this woman who was supposed to represent a normal everyday person that used SVB and had her story highlighted and RTed to the point that it has over 16 million views......isn't exactly Jane Q Public

Her husband that "works in manufacturing" is the owner of a manufacturing company. They both have Duke MBAs and worked at McKinsey Consulting. And her blood, sweat, and tears project is a $600/month organizing app that creates a "more convenient" To-Do List 

Dopesick was really good.

Dem support in WV started dying off as the power of unions eroded too.
