I see that you don't post your free plays every day. It depends from day, right? Sometimes you will post plays, because there are some plays worth betting and some days not? Am I right?
Koeman, I wish that were true. It depends on my work load. Early in the week and weekends have more time, but Wed-Fri much busier, thus can't always get to them. I'll always do my best to provide them, it's just a timing issue. Thanks for asking however.
