Kaito

I got a fortunate 54. Just lucky again at hitting some bulleyes in messy sections.

Betting isn't just about picking the surest winners though. The odds are everything. I wouldn't think many would be excited to lay ~10:1 on Kakuryu or bet Endo as the biggest favorite of day 15.

Wait, the rules posted on the Toto site are outdated? It says fewest X's used is the first tiebreaker for yusho. I'd been wondering why the rankings didn't seem to accurately reflect the rule.

If I always picked the opposite of who I thought would win on day 15, I'd do much better. I don't know what kind of logic is required to pick them correctly.

But the torikumi wasn't released until after results were in last night. I thought Aoiyama/Hakuho would only be made if Aoiyama had won, so I'm a bit surprised as well.

Well, friends call me QB.

I'm a little annoyed I tinkered with my SG picks with 5 minutes left and changed a winner into Takakeisho, even though it just means I would've lost 9-9 again. If I'm gonna do well and get really unlucky, I want to do it all the way. In Bench, I'm thinking yusho.

Yeah, that'd be great. If nothing else, I'll finally be able to post in this cool topic without feeling like I'm intruding.

I haven't been any luckier than Owl in SG. My makushita opponents are outscoring his so far. If I can find a silver lining, it's that I'll have a good shot at another yusho next time against all the droning potatoes.

It's sad that I have to be jealous of both your day and your skill on first and last days. I put way too much faith in Abi today everywhere, and I'm still winless on first and last days in SG. But yeah, gambarimasu.

New York actually has 2 capitals. The N and the Y.

Feeling pretty good about 62 now. I think what helped most was having Nishikigi ahead of Tsurugisho/Chiyomaru, allowing me to slot that pair in for the full points. Also lucky to have Enho and Meisei in the right spots despite not really getting those sections right.

I feel like a weirder thing happened last basho.

I hate senshuraku.
