Day 19-21: 365 Day Bankroll Builder Challenge

Okay… so life doesn’t always go as planned. From now on, I am going to plan on writing a FRI-SUN article on Sunday Night or Monday Morning just to cut down on a little bit of ‘challenge creep’ that I’ve been experiencing lately.

So here’s my weekend Results!


Day 19-21 (Feb. 25th, 2024) Results:

Day 19 started off with a Bankroll of $514.95, 2 Photo Finish Horses and 7 Zed Run Horses.

The “Sweepstakes” Casinos are an automatic daily bonus, easy enough to start there.

Sweeps Casinos:

I started off with a Sweeps total of $48.23, and ended the weekend with a Sweeps total of $56.63. That’s an $8.40 gain!

Starting tomorrow, we add Global Poker to the mix. These are an absolute reliable category — picking up a nice $8 over a weekend seems small; but it allows for the other small risks that I take!

  • Pulsz – up $3.25
  • Stake – up $3.15
  • Chumba – up $2.00

Pokerstars:

Pokerstars only ended up $2.14 over the entire weekend even though I hit a $3 win on a free “Spin and Go”. I had a few bad Roulette spins — hopefully the bonuses will pick up here soon.

Pokerstars – up $2.14

FanDuel Sportsbook/Casino:

I got a little haywire on FanDuel over the weekend. I hit a winner on “Timberlake” in a big Stakes race — and I may or may not have thrown that profit away on a Horse named after my son later in the weekend. (no dox for him thanks)

That was a bit of a personal mistake; but I’ll live with it.

FanDuel — down $1.90

DraftKings Sportsbook/Casino:

I just want to highlight 2 nice boosts that hit on my DK over the weekend.

  • Tatum & Brunson to combine for 50+ Pts (SAT)
  • Jokic & Curry to combine for 12+ Pts 1st Quater (SUN)

Those were worth a few dollars, as I lost a fair amount of $0.10 entries on the DFS side chasing the 25-point hunter game for 2k Crowns. (No, not that CROWN)

DraftKings — up $3.40

Zed Run: (sucks)

I’m gonna be honest… I have barely touched my Zed Horses this week. Combination of touching grass and the XP gains being so so small on what you get compared to my other projects.

The whole “We’re gonna do everything in $ZED” seems like an absolute scam.

Zed Run — up $0.00

Photo Finish Live:

Big time PF Moves over the weekend!!

First of all, $CROWN has gone from around $1.20 to $1.85 over the weekend. Absolute. Insanity. That’s an easy way to see positive gains while doing absolutely nothing.

Another highlight was winning my highest-stakes Races so far — a 2000 DERBY entry which I cashed for 4,300 DERBY and a 23.4 CROWN stimmy… which at current prices represents roughly a $70 Profit from ONE PHOTO FINISH RACE!!

Astral Avenger is doing so well in his Age-3 Season that I am thinking he could see some action in the Stud Barn. (I haven’t done my own research on what gets hit — but I am just keeping the mindset to keep a good Racing Record and anything can happen)

But, that wasn’t all I was doing this weekend!

I made a purchase from Lacy from Valkyrie Racing — a true OG and awesome member of the community. I bought an A+ LTS Foal with three 2-star preferences.

At the current CROWN hysteria; I could see the Horse Market just getting lit on fire. I’m probably in the market of trying to get another Horse or two before the season ends – honestly as a hedge that CROWN rips even higher.

The idea that Foals have to age before they can race is really interesting in terms of population. If there aren’t enough Horses — the Breeding can’t just pop out some digital Horses. It’ll be 3 months until that Supply increases.

Photo Finish — up $37.47 + 1 Photo Finish Horse

ESPN Bet:

ESPN had some decent Promos over the weekend and I was able to hit a Free Bets as well as a fun “Deposit” Promo where you could Deposit $25 and pick the Pens-Flyers game on Sunday and get up to 40 Bonus Spins (Pens win – I win!)

I also lost a $10 Parlay that had $5 cashback and a $5 Free Bet to minimize risk — not nearly as fun as when I hit that version of this Parlay a few weeks ago.

ESPN BET – up $23.86

DNA Racing:

I’ve added some $DEZ to my portfolio over the weekend. I lost my first Trainer Tournament attempt; but even though my bike wasn’t juiced I still believe in what Danshan is doing.

Staking is coming soon, and I don’t want DNA to be behind any of my average Balance amounts.

DNA — up $17.51

Coinbase:

Going to go back to the ‘listing the Balances’ method here:

  • SOL $9.50 (5% APY)
  • MATIC $5.31 (2.4% APY)
  • ATOM $5.05 (9.2% APY)

Coinbase — up $0.40

Day 19-21 Summary:

The Photo Finish movement is absolutely staggering.

It can make me a little sick at times thinking of the fumble — I knew PF was out there and I stayed away because Zed gaslit me into thinking that shit would never work.

Referrals are about to turn on… and I have a slew of IRL contacts I’m ready to onboard. There are a lot of people in Web3 waiting for the same. Big accounts are picking it up.

All I can say is I truly hope that I’m not too late to have considerable Results.

We’re 3 weeks into a 52 week challenge; but Photo Finish has completely changed my mindset about what is possible. I’m hoping it all works out in the end.

Total for Day 19-21: UP $91.28, + 1 Photo Finish Horse

In total, the Challenge Bankroll stands at:

  • $606.23
  • 3 Photo Finish Horses
  • 7 Zed Horses
