We’ve all but locked in a winning August—five of eight months green in 2025. Today’s board is loaded across MLB and NCAAF… and maybe a cheeky Carabao Cup sprinkle. Dive in below.

Bankroll Tracker
Current: 148% of August starting bankroll.
How do you size wagers?
We allocate between 2%–6% of bankroll per play. Lower % = smaller edge; higher % = stronger edge.
What does the bankroll % mean?
It tracks growth relative to the month’s starting bankroll. Example: 148% = +48% profit.
Why don’t you chase losses?
Each play is independent. We stick to % sizing to manage risk and avoid emotional betting swings.
Play responsibly. Lines move — always shop for best price. 🧠💼
