I got published

Two of the articles I wrote for Associated Content about a week and a half ago got published today.

So yeah, the articles pretty much suck for anyone who knows shit about gambling and EV, but now I can put “freelance writer” on my resume’, right?

congrats spoon. That's pretty cool.

Overall the articles are well written and they are a nice easy read. (FWIW, I think the 4th paragraph in the first article is a little awkward discussing the math of the coin-flip).

I really like comparing the lottery to an unbalanced flipping of a coin. If you came up with that kudos.

I just spewed mountain dew when I read that

But yeah I came up with the idea of comparing the lottery to the unbalanced coin thingie, so yay me

I've got tons of old chess stuff I wrote when I was active playing tournaments and coaching more and whatnot, and I've been copy/pasting those to see how it turns out, and so far they're getting paid well considering it's a copy/paste of what I've just got saved on my hard drive :P
