The Last Page of 2025
December 31, 2025
The year doesn’t end with fireworks. Sometimes it ends with a missed rotation, a late whistle, or a last-second three that flips the wrong way.
That Florida State shot last night — the one that turned a cover into a loss — felt like a perfect snapshot of how 2025 closes for us at BrownBagBets. Not catastrophic. Not unfair. Just sharp, thin, and unforgiving.
The bankroll now sits at 78%. That number tells a story, but not the whole one. What matters is that the structure never broke. Exposure stayed measured. Bigger conviction spots still did their job. Smaller edges absorbed the noise.
This is who we are. We don’t hide from December. We study it. Because the end of the year doesn’t judge how hot you got — it reveals how real your process was.
Tomorrow, the ledger turns. January asks different questions. Tonight, we finish the book honestly. That’s the work.
If this way of thinking resonates, we invite you to join the BrownBagBets community and learn how we read markets through Pattern Walk™. We’ll be here when the page turns.
