Surf's Up

The process of making a play selection reminds me of the few times I've attempted to surf. Let's just say that my success at carving waves was fantastically limited, but just being out there those handful of times was enough to pick up on the visual element of choosing a wave, and picking out a wave on a surfboard is an apt comparison for choosing your play. Unlike surfing, where you wait and wait until eventually your instinct kicks in and you paddle hard for your wave, the average gambler won't normally have the patience to wait. He will jump up on the best play he sees for today, the first wave, with each advancing day coming up to blindside him at work at his desk when he logs into espn.com is another full card of the day's game. And maybe even the two, three or four best plays...There are very many things wrong with that strategy

Before I explain that, let's first go back to the surfing analogy, because it bare's repeating.

Wait for the wave you love
