A Turning Night, Earned the Right Way

December 23, 2025 · 1:00 PM ET
A 7–6 night doesn’t come close to telling the full story. What mattered wasn’t just the record — it was where the wins came from. A 4–1 NCAA Basketball slate, paired with a converted 7% anchor and multiple 5% positions, produced a +10% swing in one night. That’s structure reasserting itself.

December hasn’t been kind, but this was the exact response the BrownBag community needed. No chasing. No panic. Just allowing the strongest reads to carry weight. The bankroll now sits at 77%, and while the work isn’t done, momentum matters when it’s earned the right way.

Today’s card remains selective. Bowl season creates opportunity, but only when motivation, market shape, and price align. That’s where today’s focus lives.
