MTD ledger current through graded plays of 10/23 Countdown to Selection Sunday — 142 Days
Mar 15, 2026 • 6:00 PM ET
Selection Sunday isn’t just a date — it’s our legacy. March Madness built BrownBagBets into the family it is today, and this countdown keeps our focus on discipline and tracking.
Today’s Story
A 3–3 Thursday is a holding pattern before a monster weekend, and our bankroll stays stout at 182%. BrownBagBets is built on three pillars: we price every market, we size edges 1–5% of bankroll, and we publish every receipt — win, loss, and push. That rhythm makes neutral days trivial and month-end outcomes meaningful. World Series Game 1 lands tonight, the ice is busy, and college football joins the party — we’ll stay patient, take our numbers, and keep the compounding story clear for every new reader who finds us.
