Tournament tips off • Mar ’26

March is a portfolio, not a weekend. Every November rep feeds our tournament model—pace, shot quality, and lineup volatility—so this keeps us focused on inputs, not vibes.

Daily Briefing
Wednesday, November 26, 2025 — 7:30 AM ET
Thanksgiving window + final weekend ahead • Bankroll 66%

Last night was the response we needed—measured, not manic. We split the Champions League slate but protected price integrity, and where the signals truly converged (hello, Lakers 9% ticket) we executed cleanly. The real surge came from college hoops, where the read is finally lining up with this season’s pace/shot-quality realities. A couple of misses keep us humble, but the ledger moved in the right direction and the process stayed intact. Bankroll checks in at 66% this morning, and the story ahead is about compounding honest edges, not chasing headlines. Between now and month-end we expect volume to build: Thanksgiving football, a crowded NBA board, and an NCAAB market that’s settling into form. That means more opportunity, but also stricter filters—we’ll keep sizing tethered to the indicators and pass on anything that drifts from price. If you’ve been riding with us all month, you know the drill: we don’t cap “number of plays,” we cap bad entries. Expect disciplined aggression, real audit trails, and late adds only when the math deserves them.
