I know what happened: Ippei started with $1 bets and went with a Martingale strategy (double the previous lost bet to get back to 0). He just went on a 25 bet losing streak. could happen to anyone.

The Appeal produces such critical reporting on criminal justice. Serving on their board and more importantly reading their stories has further opened my eyes about the legal system and carceral state. I hope you'll join me in supporting their fundraising efforts.

A golf nut friend of mine found that a college golfer shot a 276 in one round, & teammate shot 150+. When the shock wore off, I wondered if there was a story...and oh man, there was. I pray I did justice to Maycee Kay Aycock and Sarah Marshall, my heroes: golfdigest.com/story/meredit…
The Grinders: How two golfers combined to shoot 434 in a single round—and saved their college team

The Grinders: How two golfers combined to shoot 434 in a single round—and saved their college team
