GP flies solo this week and takes the opportunity to ramble on about his journey from mediocre poker player to pretty good sports bettor. (This includes a quick double-up on the signing bonus he got in business school)The news is dominated by the Real Time Assistance tool ETR released for Underdog best ball drafts. If you think that's the story - you're wrong. Because Underdog comes out and says they ALLOW this type of RTA in a move that blows the mind of anyone who's ever played online poker.Q&A then goes into why GP doesn't plug GP Picks+ on the pod and some other odds and ends.Remember - all things related to the podcast stem from the free discord at goldenpants.com0:00 GP Origin Story31:40 Key moments & lifestyle changes that lead to success42:05 Underdog allows ETR's real-time assistance tool1:04:00 Penn boardroom drama1:09:00 What do you say you do for a living?1:12:05 Why do you not plug GP Picks+?1:26:40 How to find balance without set hoursWelcome to The Risk Takers Podcast, hosted by professional sports bettor John Shilling (GoldenPants13) and SportsProjections.

This episode has it all. GP's childish morning routine, what music you should listen to while modeling, and some hot takes based on a cursory glance at the news.The Q&A is dominated by a great question at the end regarding how achievable year-over-year profits are by someone who never models or scales a betting group.Remember to join the discord (link below) if you want your question on a future episode.
