Hey everyone! I plan to keep doing the matchup analysis for all the games daily, Tik Tok videos, and be live on Tik Tok sometimes to talk sports.
I’m working on delivering picks through another platform (DubClub) on a daily basis, so expect some changes coming next week. The newsletter here is always free and I’m constantly looking for ways to improve it each week!
I put together a new format for today that I’m really liking. Hope you enjoy it and good luck tonight! As always excuse any typos/errors :).
