Pepper McSausage Picks

A pick a day until my mom comes back to life.

The Battle Royale was fun… albeit dissatisfying. The wrong winner won. The pick of the day was not even close. Which has more to say about my judgment than anything. I’m forever hopeful and too generally optimistic to be a good gambler (for now), and my best quality (not best as in what’s my most valuable to others or the most positive thing about me, but rather what I’m the greatest at doing) is overthink. A family recipe that hopefully shimmers and euro steps past future DNA strands. It’s one thing to overthink but my inability to be cynical gambling perpetually leaves me heartbroken. I was always a hopeless romantic, and that paid off for me in love, so now I have to direct that hopeless romanticism towards something much less constructive, like gambling.

It’s at its worst when I fall in love with athletes. I tend to bet on them as if I’m betting on myself and my valuation of them (my ego perhaps). And while I find these to my best bets, I don’t think the money backs that up. But I do not know how to quit them! My current favorite player is Amen Thompson. If I could build a player in 2K, he’s who I’d build. Even though he is diametrically opposed to me in every way. In pickup, I’m a white, unathletic shooter. He’s everything else. He completes me. He’s the Jerry Maguire to my Renee Zellweger. I have not been very profitable so far in my Amen Thompson betting propaganda campaign so far, but I understand that financially and professionally there is going to be growing pains for him and I both. Well, today’s the day for him to SHOW ME THE MONEY!!

Today’s pick: AMEN THOMPSON OVER 12.5 REBS & ASTS

Strictly guy speaking here. I’ve done no research. Even though I spent my entire day so far helping do market research elsewhere. When my backs against the wall and I need help, I look no further than the sweet prince of Houston. Amen 🙏

Good luck and I’ll see y’all on the other side!

Pick record: 7-9 (no thank you collectively to the Atlanta Hawks and Utah Jazz)
