"How-To"

On a semi-regular basis, I have people ask about the process in beginning one's adventures in Chalkland. Here are my thoughts on the matter.

"Reflection"

As I write this, early November 2012, I have just begun my sixth month in what I refer to as "Chalkland." Or, if you would rather skip the theatrics, my sixth month as, I suppose, a "serious" bettor.

My first six months have been quite an experience. Each week feels like a month of experience. I began with little money, and, through grit and grind, taught myself the ropes, thought-out successful formulas, and have risen to a place where I am comfortable—and comfortable sharing my success in the form of "scraps."

I have always held a realization that sharing plays comes with a lot of responsibility. Times can be tough and people always look for a quick fix. Those people might risk more than they can afford. Money management is important. If you choose to follow what plays I allow myself to share, you will practice good money management. I lose? No big deal. My plays, my money, my losses. However, one reason why I have been so reluctant to share plays is because I would feel terrible if anyone went big and lost big. Sorta weighs on the conscience, ya know?

Another expectation I have for people who win with my scraps is that they'll take care of their needs—and then take care of others. I do not bet for greed. I bet because every venture needs capital. Some more than others. Chalkland is only step one in my plan to do good—and I won't ever lose that focus. This "no honor amongst thieves" bullshit I've read on the Internet is wrong. Be honorable. Take care of yourself and your people. Show them kindness like I will hopefully show to you.

These are my expectations for those who win with my scraps.
