Bankroll Hits 153% as Football Season Heats Up — Aug 25, 2025 Picks

Bankroll Hits 153% — Staying Disciplined into Football Season
Aug 25, 2025
7:30 AM

Yesterday was one of those classic grinder days — where the scoreboard doesn’t quite show the full picture. We hit on the Yankees and cashed a soccer double chance, but came up short on the Cubs, Paul Skenes’ strikeout prop, and a Both Teams to Score look that just didn’t fire. Variance is variance, and the receipts are right here for everyone to see.

That said, the overall summer bankroll build has positioned us well heading into the heart of football season. Sitting at 153% of bankroll, the community has been dialed in, refining edges, tracking indicators, and keeping us accountable daily. It’s days like yesterday that remind us: discipline is the edge. Let’s roll it forward into Monday with clear spots in both the EPL and MLB.

FAQ
Why did the Cubs pick miss yesterday?
Chicago won outright but didn’t clear the run line, leaving us on the wrong side of a narrow margin.
Why was the Brighton/Everton under graded a loss?
It was tied into a parlay with BTTS Yes. Since BTTS didn’t hit, the entire parlay graded as a loss.
Why multiple plays on Liverpool?
Indicator movement suggests correlated value across sides and totals. Splitting exposure allows flexibility without oversizing risk.
What does 2% or 3% wager mean?
Each percentage represents a fraction of bankroll allocated to a play, ensuring consistent sizing and long-term risk management.
Midday Board Adjustments: Staying Sharp at Noon

Sometimes the board doesn’t wait for the evening update—value shows up at midday, and we lock in accordingly. Today, a pair of matchups stood out enough to justify stepping in before the afternoon card fully matures.

The Phillies continue to grind out wins, and in New York this spot looks playable at plus money. Meanwhile, the Rangers’ offense has been punishing weak pitching, making the run line the sharper play against the Angels. As always, discipline stays front and center—we’re keeping wagers consistent and measured.
