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.
