Break-Even, Built Right: Why 3-3 Still Paid Us
Break-Even, Built Right: Why 3–3 Still Paid Us
Volume, bankroll intelligence, and teaching the indicators in real time — that’s how a .500 day becomes a positive one, and how month-to-date keeps compounding.
Yesterday was the best kind of break-even. We went 3–3 across six plays and still booked a gain. That’s the power of bankroll intelligence: we size to confidence, prioritize price over pick, and let volume smooth volatility while your tier credits keep stacking.
The early set landed 2–1; the later block finished 1–2. That split isn’t noise to us — it’s data. We’ll review whether the later numbers carried the same indicator strength, how timing interacted with line moves, and where market money ultimately settled. We update our loss log, record the lesson, and refine. In public. With you.
Month-to-date, we’re sitting at 132% of our August starting bankroll. That’s not a victory lap — it’s confirmation the long game is working. We teach the why behind every play so you can understand the edge, not just tail it.
The goal is passive income by month’s end, not dopamine by day’s end. — BrownBagBets
Today, only about half the MLB board is live as teams travel and reset (the Yankees, for example, leave the Bronx). No NFL preseason tonight, but Friday and Saturday are on-deck, and we’ll have our preseason triggers ready. Watch for futures and a couple of unique pieces we’re excited to share.
As always, picks will post in timestamped blocks. If the time is new, the plays are new. Learn with us, size with discipline, and let the month do the talking.
New here? We never charge. You decide your starting bankroll, follow the posted wager %s, and track with us. Over time, the edge compounds.
