Visualization-I really can't see it.

Last weekend, an instructor suggested visualizing the point number that you are trying to make. I do visualize shooting sessions in my head which helps muscle memory. Recently, I had a brain MRI, which thankfully showed nothing. That line was…

Betting on the RR (CF)

Why make a come bet for $10 with $10 odds on a RR (CF), when a $12 6 or 8 place bet saves you $8.00? Since there are five ways to make the 6 or 8, you are in a…
