Sunday Surge: MLB Dominance & Volume Strategy Keep April Profitable

Yesterday? Not our finest all-around showing — let’s call it what it was. We played 21 total bets across MLB, NBA, NHL, and EPL — and only MLB and NHL showed up for us.

But that’s the BrownBagBets difference — we expect volume. We plan for variance. We don’t chase. We manage our bankroll using a smart, system-driven process that’s built for sustainability, not sensationalism.

Here’s what matters:

  • MLB went 7-1, netting 17% of bankroll alone — our most confident edges delivered.

  • Despite an off day across the board, April still sits at well above of starting bankroll — right where we want it heading into the back third of the month.

  • 21 plays placed = more tier credits, more loyalty points, more long-term wins.

We never hide the losses. But we never dwell on them either. Because if you’re here for every play, every unit, and every reason behind the wager, you’re already winning long-term.
