Belle's Recaps

This is where all my daily recaps live — wins, losses, close calls, heartbreakers, and clean sweeps (we love those). I post these to celebrate, commiserate, and so you can keep tabs on how we’re doing if you’re not a subscriber (...yet)!

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...

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.

Aug 5, 2025: Picks Hit 4/5 😍💰 Post-Game Recap ☕️

First thing's first, friends – we had an amazing night 🤩 Picks hit 4/5, and yes, I'm thrilled. HOWEVER, the only miss tonight? Pick of the Day. @#$%! For those curious, here's what we had this evening:

 

Picks (4/5)

-BOS Red Sox -1.5 (-120) ✅

-MIL Brewers -1.5 (+115) ✅

-TOR Blue Jays v COL Rockies Over 12.0 (-110) ✅

-TOR Blue Jays -2.0 (-115) (alternate RL) ✅

-BAL Orioles v PHI Phillies Over 9.5 (-120) ❌

---

I have to laugh – I just don't understand. Granted, we're even on 'Pick of the Day' for August so far, but this is like the 2nd time in 4 days that this has happened 🤯 The Orioles did us so dirty – 0 runs scored against Taijuan Walker has to be some kind of terrible record.

 

Free tier friends, we'll get 'em tomorrow 🙏🏽. If you're on my paid picks tier, we absolutely crushed it today.

 

For those that tailed, enjoy your wins! I'm off to make a night coffee and start prepping tomorrow's slate 😉☕️

 

As always, I'll see you all bright and early to conquer the books. 👊🏼

Aug 3, 2025: What. A. Night. 🤑🔥 Picks Hit 4/5 & VIP Parlay Cashed!

This was an amazing night - my goodness! Picks hit 4/5, and our VIP parlay cashed in full for a whopping +510 return, friends 🤩👊🏼 A massive congratulations to everyone that tailed, and for those curious, here's what we had:

Picks (4/5)

-MIL Brewers Team Total Over 4.5 (-125) ✅

-MIL Brewers -1.5 (+105) ✅

-MIL Brewers v WAS Nationals Over 8.5 (-120) ✅

-STL Cardinals v SD Padres Over 8.0 (-120) ✅

-PHI Phillies Team Total Over 4.5 (-115) ❌

VIP Parlay (+510) 🎉

-PHI Phillies -1.5 (+110) ✅

-CHI Cubs ML (-155) ✅

-SD Padres Team Total Over 4.5 (-115) ✅

---

To summarize: We made a fortune! I have to say, that Phillies game was weird as hell 😅 I thought for sure we were going to get the sweep, but alas – new Detroit Tigers starter Charlie Morton (formerly with the Baltimore Orioles) pitched his heart out. Thankfully, Philly bagged a last minute HR to get us the RL 😉

We only had 2 Player Props on the board this evening, and unfortunately they were a bust. I was surprised to see Cristopher Sanchez already melting down in the 5th inning – it started to become very clear he wasn't going to make it to 7Ks (lol).

But hey, I won't dwell – we made a stupid amount of money this evening! 💸😌

Alright friends, I'm off! Enjoy the rest of your night, and as always, I'll see you all bright and early to beat the books.

Aug 1, 2025: Picks Hit 4/5 🤩💸 + Post-Game Recap ☕️

LFG, friends! Holy, did we ever make a bag of cash tonight 💰🐮4/5 of our picks hit, including Pick of the Day. For those curious, here's what we had:

Picks (4/5)

-MIL Brewers Team Total Over 4.5 (-120) ✅

-MIL Brewers v WAS Nationals Over 8.5 (-115) ✅

-The Athletics Team Total Over 4.5 (-125) ✅

-The Athletics -1.5 (+165) ✅

-ATL Braves v CIN Reds Over 9.5 (+100) ❌

---

I have to tell you, I almost didn't include The Athletics -1.5 pick in today's list – but man, am I glad I did! +165 is a banger return; a huge congrats if you played it.

I also put half a unit on both the Brewers Team Total, as well as another half on Pick of the Day – so this evening's haul was extra sizeable 👊🏽

Tonight's props & parlay were a bust – but I'm not even mad; picks paid out handsomely! 😂

I will say...I was CHOKED when the Braves intentionally walked Elly De La Cruz on that last AB – an absolute prop killer! Oh well, on to the next...

This was a great night, betting family! Enjoy your wins – and as always, I'll see you all bright and early to beat the books ;)

July 31, 2025: VIP Parlay Cashes at +533 💰😍

Today's VIP Parlay hits, friends – what a bag! A big congrats to everyone that tailed – for those curious, here's what we had:

 

Parlay (+533) 🎉

-CIN Reds Team Total Over 4.5 (-145) ✅

-TEX Rangers v SEA Mariners: George Kirby Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-130) ✅

-SEA Mariners Team Total Over 4.5 Runs (+110) ✅

 

---

 

I'm thrilled that this hit tonight - it certainly improved my mood after the Cincinnati Reds absolutely blew it on Pick of the Day (after coming back 8 runs to tie things up 11-11)! 

 

But I won't dwell. Overall, we came out of this day mad profitable! 💸

 

On that note: A number of you have DM'd me this evening asking how you can upgrade your tier to see the parlays I send out! If you've already created an account on my website, simply log in, and click "My Account" in the top menu bar. From there, you can switch your tier if you wish to do so! 😊

I'm off for the night, friends – congratulations again on the big win! And as always, I'll see you all bright and early to conquer the books.
