We could

Sunbatheres

When we’re short of resources, the game is working out how best to use whatever we have.

Sometimes though, whether by luck or judgement, we have more to play with than we absolutely need … and hubris has a habit of getting in the way.

More resources though means many more options.

From this point, we can invest in any of seventeen options in untold permutations. We could put all our money on black or hedge a little on red. We could go north or south. Or how about north east, or south west, or north-north-east or east-north-east? Hang on! … we could split in two and go north and south after all, or to any points on the compass.

Nice problem, but chasing every rabbit usually means missing them all.

The one word that’s worth three: focus, focus, focus.

Skippy strategy: Invest resources in the things you really care about.
