102%. Three Days. Precision Mode.

Yesterday Was Rough.

7–8 overall. NHL exposure did the damage.

February now sits at 102%. Three betting days remain.

When the Cushion Thins

102% means we are still above starting capital — but the margin is thin.

Thin margins demand discipline. We will not force volume.

Three Days. One Objective.

  • Heavy weighted NCAAB plays coming!!
  • Clear edge thresholds
  • No speculative exposure
  • Zero emotional recovery bets

Precision mode.

FAQ

Why is 102% still considered success?

Because we are above starting capital. Monthly profitability is the objective — not peak swings.

Why tighten volume now?

Thin margins amplify risk. Allocation must match bankroll position.

Is NHL being reduced?

Yes. Rhythm instability requires edge confirmation before exposure increases.

What is Precision Mode?

Reduced play count. Clear threshold edges only. No speculative adds.

How does Tournament Mode impact strategy?

NCAA edge becomes primary. Allocation follows structure, not noise.

Pattern Walk Connection

Markets compress late in the month. Pattern Walk protects you from forcing edge where none exists.

Repetition builds recognition. Recognition becomes discipline.
