Brandon's memories

🚀 Big Win

September 2019. The Singapore Grand Prix. Kevin Magnussen. A plastic bag. It all adds up to winning $30K on a $30 wager. I don't think I'll ever top that one.

😭 Bad Beat?

When you have been betting for 20+ years, there are too many to list. But the key is not to chase bets. Reset and only bet again when you're sure you're not on tilt.
