What’s the opposite of a good weekend? Is it a bad weekend?
It didn’t go well for the 365 Day Bankroll Builder Challenge even with a period of an extended 3 days — it didn’t help me take things into the positive. Let’s break it all down:
Day 26-28 (Mar. 1st – Mar. 3rd, 2024) Results:
Day 26 started off with a Bankroll of $719.95 , 3 Photo Finish Horses and 8 Zed Run Horses.
The “Sweepstakes” Casinos are an automatic daily bonus, easy enough to start there.
Sweeps Casinos:
Even though I took Sunday off due to the ‘timing’ issue of the Sweeps Casinos – it was still a nice weekend here all around.
I ended up $5.82 total which as I’ve mentioned many times, is the basis for a challenge like this. Slow & consistent positive growth.
- Pulsz – up $0.80
- Stake – up $1.47
- Chumba – up $2.50
- Global Poker — up $1.25
Pokerstars:
I’m not even sure how Pokerstars did this poorly over a 3-day weekend. Their bonuses haven’t been too powerful on the back end of the $1 Roulette spins.
At this point, it would take a really lucky “Spin N Go” win to boost Pokerstars on the level of some of the other Casinos.
Pokerstars – up $0.14
FanDuel Sportsbook/Casino:
FanDuel was probably my worst showing of the weekend. I lost a few Horse Bets and only managed to make $2 on my $10 Bet on after a bunch of scratches to the competition.
The worst bet I made over the weekend was a $10 boost on Anthony Davis, Lebron James, and Nikola Jokic all to hit 20 Pts in a LAL-DEN game… Davis did not get there.
FanDuel — down $7.55
DraftKings Sportsbook/Casino:
DraftKings on the other hand, was incredibly busy but fairly profitable.
My best wagers of the Weekend were a Giannis Boost in the MIL-CHI game Over 50 Pts+Reb+Ast which scored $4 profit and Cavs-9 over DET on Friday Night which covered by 1 point for a $3.57 profit.
There were some various College Hoops boosts which mostly broke even at $1 a piece.
All in all, this is what i was hoping for across the board on the other sites.
DraftKings — up $13.05
Zed Run: (sucks)
With my stable of 8 Zed Horses, I’m getting to the point where the daily profit isn’t completely terrible. (as long as the XP Market doesn’t get nerfed or fall apart)
One of the surprises of this challenge is that my attitude towards Zed is shifting slightly positive — don’t get me wrong maybe like 1% because it is such a grind to play. Only good if you’re at work and bored out of your mind.
Zed Run — up $3.33
Photo Finish Live:
Messy and bad.
That is how I would describe my Photo Finish weekend.
On Friday, Astral Avenger got hit with bad weather in a Benchmark and Great Expectations sucked in a handicap.
On Saturday, Great Expectations got beat in a 49 FF Benchmark badly even though he had a weight advantage.
On Sunday, Astral Avenger took 4th of 5 in a 53 FF Benchmark where he pulled 7 Odds even though there were only 5 Horses.
I thought my Race Selection had issues earlier that I thought i was correcting this Weekend — but it’s definitely some growing pains for me here as I try to figure out what is going wrong with my guys.
I listed them both at extremely high prices, because I felt like I wanted to stalk Claimers instead but no bites.
Going to have to evaluate how casually I’m playing and if I need to dig further into tools to try to come up with more positive results here after a crazy hot ‘beginner’s luck’ streak in the beginning.
Withdrawing the CROWN I earn every time I finish a Race to get DERBY to enter another Race isn’t really helping.
Photo Finish — down $32.04
ESPN Bet:
The ESPN Daily Victory bonus has been calm but slightly profitable. No big hits but no disasters either.
ESPN BET – up $3.25
DNA Racing:
Simple ‘hodl’ day for $DEZ and DNA.
DNA — up $0.96
Coinbase:
List of Current Balances:
- SOL $12.30 (5% APY)
- MATIC $5.97 (2.4% APY)
- ATOM $6.25 (9.2% APY)
Coinbase — up $0.95
Day 26-28 Summary:
It wasn’t a great weekend with the PF struggles really weighing me down.
The CROWN Stimmies make it easy enough to continue to experiment, but I definitely need to improve as a Player there to make up for bad days.
Zed is starting to build up above a $1/day profit and IRL Racing Season is just kicking off for more Promos there. There’s a rumor I might even have to make a Sportsbet account for this week to get a free Zed Bet. Oh boy.
Anyway, thanks for reading and hope everybody has a great week there.
Total for Day 26-28: DOWN $12.52
In total, the Challenge Bankroll stands at:
- $707.43
- 3 Photo Finish Horses
- 8 Zed Horses
