Day 14: 365 Day Bankroll Builder Challenge

Let’s keep this Bankroll Builder party going!

It was a good day for the IRL Horses and the Digital Horses!

FanDuel and Photo Finish led the charge — but let’s give you the full picture here on Day 14!


Day 14 (Feb. 18th, 2024) Results:

Day 14 started off with a Bankroll of $340.75, 2 Photo Finish Horses and 7 Zed Run Horses.

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

Sweeps Casinos:

It’s borderline unbelievable, but I lost money after I was given a $0.60 bonus on Pulsz today. They have a ‘Multihand Blackjack’ game so you play three 10 cent games at once. I lost all of my first round (with a double down) and then I lost all of my second round… for a loss of $0.10 playing a free handout. You just have to laugh.

I hit my $1 Blackjack hand on Chumba and Plinko’d my way to $1.04 on Stake.

  • Pulsz – down $0.10
  • Stake – up $1.04
  • Chumba – up $2.00

Pokerstars:

Losing streak here over on Pokerstars — the bonus hasn’t been doing much for me either. 2 cents here on 2 Free Spins … Dang.

Pokerstars – down $0.98

FanDuel Sportsbook/Casino:

I was on fire on FanDuel’s Racing app yesterday! I played 8 Bets and won 6/8 and got my money back on the 2/8 that I lost. Heat Check!!

These picks were led by a $10 winner “Stronghold” in the Sunland Derby, the rest were of the $2-3 variety.

I lost an ASG boost in the NBA for $1 and have a $0.50 pending for the delayed-Daytona 500 today for Logano, Bell, or Larson to win.

All in all, it’s going to be a great day if you put in 8 IRL Horse Racing bets and lose on 0 of them.

FanDuel — up $28.30

DraftKings Sportsbook/Casino:

I actually got incredibly lucky on DraftKings to cash my two open Tickets that I had:

  • Jalen Brunson O 11.5 Points
  • NY Rangers ML

Judging by EastCoastStables‘ tweets, it sounds like the Islanders got cheated during the Rangers’ comeback win, and Brunson had exactly 12 points. Still counts!

DraftKings — up $3.97

Zed Run: (sucks)

Looks like the new Maiden is taking a lot of criticism so far. No interest in that — just keep grinding my free XP Horses for very minimal gain. Extraction is the name of the game when it comes to Zed Run.

Yuck.

Zed Run — up $0.65

Photo Finish Live:

Another win for Astral Avenger!!

$CROWN is ripping up above 90 cents!

It’s a huge day for Photo Finish and the momentum is building ahead of the Referral Code release which is going to just encourage more content and more posts — hopefully, I’ll also be able to set up a stream of some kind.

And of course, I still managed to throw away $7.00 trying to chase PF Wagers. I said I need to stay away unless the gamble is obvious and I’m taking that to heart. No more chasing Place/Show in minimal pot 12-Horse Races.

I’m definitely looking to acquire a 3rd Horse, but the market is already up 2-3x for Floor-type young Horses like the two that I have purchased, so it may turn into a bit of a waiting game for now.

Photo Finish — up $32.28

ESPN Bet:

I finally had a quiet day on ESPN Bet, not that I’m complaining.

My $1 slot didn’t hit and my 30 Bonus Spins from yesterday amounted to around $4.

I had Northwestern ML over Indiana on my $5 Free Bet from the NHL parlay a few days ago; for a $6.25 gain.

And then, unfortunately, I tried to grab Patrick Cantlay to win the Genesis for $2 but Matsuyama shot an other-wordly 62 and took the weekend.

ESPN BET – up $6.70

DNA Racing:

It’s a simple ‘hodl’ day for DNA Racing.

DNA — up $0.63

Coinbase:

Maybe I should just list my Balances here.. Going to try this out and see if I like it:

  • Solana $10.43 (5% APY)
  • Polygon $5.29 (2.39% APY)
  • Cosmos $5.22 (9.22% APY)

Coinbase — up $0.30

Day 14 Summary:

Photo Finish & FanDuel did the heavy lifting — but even when you remove those 2 sites, I was up around $14 for the day.

Obviously, the grand total of being up $74 for the day is a lot better, but I think it shows the consistency and promise of making sure you have multiple channels available to you.

This is all about trying to manage ‘risk’ in gambling — and that’s not an easy thing to do!

2 weeks down… 50 to go!

Total for Day 14: Up $74.79

In total, the Challenge Bankroll stands at:

  • $415.54
  • 2 Photo Finish Horses
  • 7 Zed Horses
