Aug 24, 2025: Post-Game Recap (+ Nightcap) 😌☕️

Good evening, betting friends! Tonight's email is brought to you by my extra large coffee cup ☕️ I have a few things to talk about, so get comfy 😊 First off, today was pretty uneventful – picks hit 2/4, and player props hit 2/4! I will say that every single one of our props was plus money, so prop bettors, you came out of the evening pretty even. For those curious, here's what we had:

Picks (2/4)

-BOS Red Sox v NY Yankees Over 8.5 (-115) ✅

-BAL Orioles ML (-130) ✅

-BAL Orioles Team Total Over 4.5 (-110) ❌

-WAS Nationals v PHI Phillies Over 9.0 (-120) ❌

Props (2/4)

-TOR Blue Jays v MIA Marlins: Kevin Gausman Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+120) ✅

-HOU Astros v BAL Orioles: Gunner Henderson Over 1.5 Total Bases (+110) ✅

-KC Royals v DET Tigers: Kerry Carpenter Over 1.5 Total Bases (+105) ❌

-HOU Astros v BAL Orioles: Colton Cowser Over 1.5 Total Bases (+145) ❌

I have to say... I'm absolutely choked that Pick of the Day didn't hit. What is it with these typically abysmal pitchers waking up and deciding to channel their inner Cy Young? This one should've been free money in my opinion – not no money at all 😂 Oh well – tomorrow's a new day.

On a fun note, the BELLE'S PICKS APP will be up and out just in time for NFL season! Holy hell, I'm so excited. 🤩🏈 Keep an eye on your inbox, I'll have an App store link out the door for everyone late next week.

By downloading the app, you'll receive push notifications to your device whenever new picks, props & parlays post! I've also put a few other fun things in there as well 😉

Alright friends, that's all for now! As always, I'll see you all bright and early to conquer the books.

Aug 22, 2025: VIP Parlay Cashes for +491! 💸🔥

Let's go, friends 😍 Tonight's VIP Parlay cashed in full for a whopping +491 return! That's our 2nd parlay cash in the last 3 days – I'm thrilled. A massive congratulations to those tailing parlays, and for those curious, here's what we had: 

 

Parlay (+491) 🎉

-HOU Astros v BAL Orioles Over 9.5 (-110) ✅

-STL Cardinals v TB Rays Over 9.0 (-110) ✅

-TOR Blue Jays ML (-160) ✅

I know I've said it before, but it never gets old – I love a good plus money return. As for picks, we basically came out of the day even with 2/4 single bets hitting. Both of today's Team Total wagers brought in the money – here's what we had: 

 

Picks (2/4)

-TOR Blue Jays Team Total Over 4.5 (-115) ✅

-MIL Brewers Team Total Over 4.5 (-110 )✅

-MIL Brewers -1.5 (+130) ❌

-TOR Blue Jays v MIA Marlins Over 8.0 (-120) ❌

 

I think my biggest gripe of the day is the HR Willy Adames hit for San Francisco in the 8th inning, which ultimately tanked the MIL Brewers RL. I'm thrilled however that the Giants forced extra innings and gave us a chance to at least lock in the Brewers Team Total.

 

Overall, not a bad day! The parlay really put us into the green ;) On that note, I'm off to bed! And as always, I'll be up bright and early to conquer the books.

Aug 21, 2025: Sweep (3/3) 💰🧹! Post-Game Recap ☕️

What a night, betting fam – time for a little post-game recap (+ nightcap!) Fun fact: we hit ALL of our picks today (3/3)! 🎉 A huge congratulations to everyone that tailed, and for those curious, here's what we had:

 

Picks (3/3)

-BOS Red Sox v NY Yankees Over 8.0 (-120)

-BOS Red Sox Team Total Over 3.5 (-115)

-SD Padres -1.5 (+115)

 

I have to say, Roman Anthony hitting that HR for us in the 9th inning was a total lifesaver for Pick of the Day

 

As for the other pick on today's list, the San Diego Padres absolutely crushed it against the SF Giants, final total 8-4 for a nice +115 return 😌

 

Lastly, I have to ask...what the f*** is going on with the New York Mets? They took an early lead against the Washington Nationals and then absolutely blew it (3-9 was the final score). Unfortunately they were the only thing that tanked today's parlay. BUT...I won't dwell – we had a good day friends, so let's walk that one off.

 

Alright everyone, that's all I've got for this evening. As always, I'll see you all bright and early to beat the books 😉

On that note, sit tight friends! I’ll have picks out momentarily.

Aug 15, 2025: About Today’s Pick of the Day 🛎️

Hey everyone,

I wanted to take a quick moment to talk about Pick of the Day. As you probably noticed, I didn’t send one out today. Truth is, MLB has been especially volatile lately, and rather than force a play I didn’t feel confident in, I decided to hold back.

That said, I’ll be honest — it felt strange not sending one out. Pick of the Day has been part of my daily ritual for almost two years now. It’s something I genuinely enjoy sharing, and even with the occasional slump/cold streak, it’s a feature that always finds its footing over time. More than that, it’s the thing that brings our whole community together — from the free tier to the paid tiers — every single day. 👊🏽

The bigger picture is important: over the course of the year, POTD consistently finishes profitable. That’s the reason I stick with it, and I'm sure the reason why so many of you ride it with me through both hot streaks and cold spells.

We’ll be back to our regular rhythm tomorrow — I just wanted to be transparent about why there wasn’t a "Pick of the Day" today. Thanks for sticking with me, for trusting the process, and for being part of this community. 😌

X,
Belle

Aug 14, 2025: Post-Game Recap!  Tough Day, Stronger Tomorrow 🌙🦉

I know, this post is going out obscenely late🌙🦉! In fact, it's probably into the early hours for my EST friends – but I wanted to touch base anyway. Today was a rough betting day, fam. No sugarcoating it, most of today’s picks just didn’t go our way, and Pick of the Day has been in a rough slump lately. I know it’s never fun riding through these stretches, but every long-time subscriber knows we always bounce back 😌👊🏽 

 

Between now and the start of NFL, I’ll also be tweaking how I structure things for the free tier. You’ll still get solid value every day (prepare to be dazzled!) but I’m going to use this time to test a slightly different format that I think will keep my "freemium" tier profitable as we approach football season. 

 

That said – how on EARTH did the Detroit Tigers only score 4 runs off a man (Bailey Ober) who's allowed 37 hits over his last 5 games?! 🤯

 

This is the tough part about a 'Pick of the Day' slump, friends. I look back on the pick, and I still love the read. I didn't hate the logic before the game started, and to be frank, I don't disagree with it post-game either. 

 

Sometimes, the math just doesn't math. That said, I look forward to reinstating one of our legendary hot streaks 😉 Overall, picks and parlays are doing well for the month of August – I'll be bringing our spreadsheets up to date this weekend so you can all see where we're at!

 

Alright friends, I'm off for the night! Let's walk off this tough day and start fresh in the morning. Until then...

X

Aug 12, 2025: Picks Hit 3/4 👊🏽, Post-Game Recap 😌☕️

Great news, friends: 3/4 of our picks were a hit today! 🎉 A big congrats to everyone that tailed. For those curious, here's what we had:

 

Picks (3/4)

-MIL Brewers ML (-125) ✅

-KC Royals Team Total Over 4.5 (-130) ✅

-KC Royals -1.5 (+110) ✅

-PHI Phillies -1.5 (-110) ❌

 

Player Props (1/2)

-Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Over 1.5 Total Bases (+100) ✅

-J.T. Realmuto Over 1.5 Total Bases (+110) (VOIDED, RULED OUT)

-Kyle Schwarber Over 1.5 Total Bases (-110) ❌

 

---

 

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't super salty about Philly (and Kyle Schwarber!) being a total no show. CIN Reds starter Brady Singer pitched like Cy Young today, and Ranger Suarez was a mess out there on the mound (sorry dude, I don't make it true!) 😂 

 

I will say, I'm thrilled that we also tossed half a unit on the KC Royals Team Total play, as it made up for the Philly player prop fail. Speaking of props, shout out to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for snagging 2 bases and getting us the plus money return 😉

 

Lastly, a bit of fun news: the "Belle's Picks" app is NEARLY DONE! 🤩 I should have it out the door before August comes to a close, friends. Yes, that means push notifications for picks will return shortly! I appreciate your patience.

 

Alright everyone I'm off for the evening – enjoy the rest of your night! And as always, I'll see you all bright and early to conquer the books.

Aug 9, 2025: Epic Night! Prop Sweep (4/4) & Profit 💸🧹

Tonight was an amazing one, friends! 🎉 Where do I start – we hit 4/4 Player Props (half of which kicked back plus money!), 'Pick of the Day' cashed, and our single picks hit 3/5! In short, we made a nice bucket of change this evening 💰 For those curious, here's what we had:

 

Player Props (4/4)

-CLE Guardians v CHI White Sox: Sean Burke Over 4.5 Strikeouts (+100) ✅

-The Athletics v BAL Orioles: Tyler Soderstrom Over 1.5 Total Bases (+140) ✅

-The Athletics v BAL Orioles: Nick Kurtz Over 1.5 Total Bases (-115) ✅

-PHI Phillies v TEX Rangers: Jacob deGrom Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-120) ✅

 

Picks (3/5) 

 -The Athletics Team Total Over 4.5 (-115) ✅

-BOS Red Sox v SD Padres Over 7.5 (-120) ✅

-MIA Marlins v ATL Braves Over 8.5 (-105) (GAME 2) ✅

-BOS Red Sox ML (+125) ❌

-CLE Guardians v CHI White Sox Over 8.5 (-115) ❌

 

---

 

I have to admit, I was really hoping the Red Sox would pull off the comeback – once we went into extra innings, I thought they had it in the bag! Unfortunately that Padres HR in the bottom of extras also tanked tonight's parlay. Thankfully, we came out of the day sooooo green regardless 😉👊🏽

 

Alright friends, that's all I've got for this evening. A big congrats on your bag of money, and as always, I'll see you all bright and early to conquer the books!

Aug 8, 2025: Post-Game Recap (+ Nightcap) ☕️🌙

I'd say tonight's "nightcap" is necessary, friends. Baseball was brutal – so much so that I'm thrilled that I sent NFL Pre-Season picks out this afternoon 😂 "Belle's NFL Pre-Season Potpourri 💐" did far better than today's MLB picks! For those that tailed, a big congrats to you.

 

I'm also really glad that I put the pre-season picks out to my free-tier friends as well 😊 – certainly softened the blow of today's 'Pick of the Day' loss. 👊🏽

 

Speaking of 'Pick of the Day' – I've fully updated July 2025's Pick of the Day spreadsheet results. Comically, as rough of a run as POTD seemed to have there...it still came out of last month basically even 🤣 It really did feel worse than it actually was; overall, Pick of the Day is still "green" for the year to date.

 

For those asking, yes – I'll be sending out another round of NFL Pre-Season picks for Saturday's games. Football is on all day 🔥🤩🏈

 

Lastly, while we're on the topic of football, 🏈🛎️ THERE ARE 2 SPOTS LEFT in my annual "Belles of the Ball" Fantasy Football League! If you'd like to join us, simply sign up here.

The buy-in is $50, and the grand prize is a beautiful $600USD bag (of cash!) 😉💰 Once you've signed up, our beloved commissioner will send you a link to our league on the "Sleeper" app!

 

Alright friends, I think that's all I've got for this evening. Let's walk off the tough MLB day – we'll get the books back tomorrow.

 

Cheers – and as always, I'll see you all bright and early!

Aug 6, 2025: Post-Game Recap, Nightcap & HR Bingo ☕️😊🌙

I’ll try and keep this one brief, friends – I know it’s late! But I also made the mistake of consuming a coffee an hour ago….so strap in! Today was not our best betting day, and I hate not doing a post just because the baseball stars didn’t align.

That said, there were some highlights. The Toronto Blue Jays absolutely crushed it (again!) I’ll be honest – I wish there was a TOR Blue Jays v COL Rockies game every day at Coors Field, ha ha! That series was an absolute cash cow for us 💰🐮

Player Props friends, Jung Hoo Lee of the SF Giants also came through for us with 2 bases for a nice +145 return! I’m a little choked – two of today’s player props got voided because they were ruled out (…right as the Blue Jays game started). Toronto decided they didn’t like lefties today ;)

For those in my Discord who decided to runback my “Blue Jays Home Run Bingo” parlay after yesterday’s nearly hit, I’m happy to report that today’s did hit! While a couple of hitters got ruled out, “Blue Jays HR Bingo” still turned $10 into $560! I’m thrilled. Click/tap here if you'd like to peep the slip!

A number of you messaged me after yesterday’s Home Run parlay went 4/5, so I’m thrilled today’s attempt paid out. If you were able to hop on after I posted the slip in Discord (even just for a couple of legs!), a big congrats on your win 😉.

Alright friends, that’s all I’ve got for the evening. As always, I’ll see you all bright and early to beat the books.
