Excellent article. I especially liked how you delineated the difference between a negative synthetic hold and the odds of both bets being +EV.

Another for the list at the end of real-life freerolls: Leave home xx minutes earlier than planned for your commute to work. Avoids feeling rushed if you hit traffic/issues. If you're driving, you won't feel the need to speed or drive hyper-aggressively, which are both highly negative EV actions. Worst case, you run into zero issues and get to work early - now you're perceived as a go-getter.

Thanks Chris! Been focused on non-public stuff the past few years but getting back into writing mode I think.
