Welcome to Day 1 of the FUD Guru Web-3-NFT-Gaming / Web-2-Gambling Bankroll Builder Challenge!
Yes, that’s a mouthful … that’s why you’ll see “365 Day Bankroll Builder Challenge” as the title from now on.
The inspiration for this challenge came from the fact that I kept putting in stupid parlays on my DraftKings account and I decided to get serious about building some assets in DNA Racing and in Photo Finish for the next year. Also, I wanted to take something “evil” from the 5 Zed Run Horses I accidentally kept in my Wallet and turn them into something “good”!
I’ll also use Web 2 Gambling promos to build our bankroll and hopefully fund these purchases.
But seriously.. first off. Zed Run sucks — they are failing so so hard right now at building a remotely functioning marketplace and/or improving their game in any way. Their leadership doesn’t even talk to anybody. I’m going to include a sentence about how bad Zed Run sucks in every single day of this challenge because that’s how bad Zed Run sucks.
Okay, got it? Let’s get started then.
Day 0 Staring Balances:
This won’t be an ‘ongoing’ section, but I wanted to set the stage for where I’m starting at for everyone:

- 5 Zed Run Horses
- $0.00 WETH
- $1.63 ZED

- TVG: $0.00
TOTAL:
$19.68 + 5 Zed Horses
Day 1 (Feb. 5th, 2024) Results:
Okay, so I started with just under $20.00 and 5 Zed Horses in our Wallet.
The “Sweepstakes” Casinos are an automatic daily bonus, easy enough to start there.
Sweeps Casinos:
Pulsz gave $0.60 and Stake & Chumba gave $1.00 respectively. After a few Blackjack hands on Pulsz, 10 rounds of 10 cent Plinko on Stake and a $1 Blackjack hand on Chumba, here were the results:
- Pulsz – up $0.40
- Stake – up $0.97
- Chumba – up $0.00
Pokerstars:
Pokerstars has a nice ‘Play $1 get a Casino Bonus” feature going on – I hit my $1 roulette spin (Red) and actually hit a ‘big win’ on the 3 Bonus Spins I got for a whopping total of:
Pokerstars – up $3.66
Fanduel:
FanDuel was the unfortunate part of the challenge on Day 1. They offered a ‘2nd or 3rd’ credit back at Parx Racetrack (Race 10) and I had $5 on the #7 Horse who was absolutely crushed and came in like 8th. Never had a shot… unfortunate.
I also got 10 spins on the weird Gronk slot machine which paid out $0.00. (?)
FanDuel – down $5.00
DraftKings:
DK was offering two 50% Boosts which I put our entire ‘bankroll’ into.
$2.50 on Warriors to win (paid $6.62)
$2.50 on Kansas -4.5 (they lost in OT against K-State).
DraftKings – up $1.62
Zed Run: (sucks)
I actually had 2 XP Boosts when starting the challenge, maybe that’s a bit unfair maybe not. But I earned another through jamming into the repetitive and monotonous and fun-in-no-way Free Races and earned a 3rd XP Boost.
The profit from those XP Boosts allowed me to buy Zed Horse #6 (Hunch), a terrible Horse who has never won a single Race. Overall, I ended up down less than a dollar and I’ve got a new Horse to farm with
Zed Run – down $0.82 , +1 Horse
Day 1 Summary:
In total, the Challenge Bankroll stands at:
- $20.51
- 6 Zed Horses
I’m up $0.83 and 1 Zed Horse after Day 1 and if my Parx Horse could’ve either won or been in the money, this would’ve been a great day. Hopeful that with the Super Bowl coming up I’ll be able to jam in some awesome Promos and not get too carried away with anything too risky!
