And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

See you next week!
Oh man mine will be rough too. I am traveling so I haven’t been able to tally it up , but it is going to be bad
It was not a good week. Hopefully a better one this week. We are getting near the end of this experiment. I think we should try something different next season.
Did you have anything in mind? Spreads instead of ML?
Not sure. Maybe 5 games against the spread. We are doing that in the Nostr pick spread contest. That’s pretty fun. But we aren’t betting in that one, just picking.
Any 5 each week? That could be fun for sure
That’s how it works in the contest. I am currently in 6th out of 9 players so I don’t know why I am promoting this idea. Haha
I’m definitely open to trying something else though
Betting every game was a fun idea but I think we will be ready for something next next season.
Here are my bets and results from week 14. I haven't actually tallied them up yet.
5-9 this week. 140 sats staked to earn 1430 sats
P/L for the week: 30 sats
I haven't kept track of precise cumulative P/L, but my Ember balance is hovering around 7200 sats, so I seem to be breaking even.
A couple of wins with dogs can make your week. Hard to predict which ones will hit. I think normally just taking favourites in every game is probably a better strategy over the course of a season but the way this year has gone maybe taking dogs in every game would have been better.
I think I have more favorites this week. There are just so many teams that I don't think deserve to be favored that I end up taking the higher upside.
Damn back in the red
