🎯 Buckets’ Best Bets for Friday (Quarterfinal Day 1)

🕒 3 PM ET – 🇧🇷 Fluminense v Al Hilal 🇸🇦

🪣 Buckets: Al Hilal Draw No Bet (DNB) (-125)
Al Hilal scored 4 on Man City. They might be the best team left. Ride the momentum.

🧠 Ian’s Lean: Al Hilal To Advance (-125)
Same bet, different framing.

⚽ Ian’s Lean: Marcos Leonardo (Hilal) Anytime Goalscorer (+175)
The best finisher left in the competition, quietly on form.

🕘 9 PM ET – 🇧🇷 Palmeiras v Chelsea 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

🪣 Buckets: Both Teams To Score (-110)
Classic Buckets special. Chelsea can score on anyone — and gift one back just as easily.

⚽ Ian’s Lean: Chelsea Moneyline (+110)
Palmeiras are good, but Chelsea’s ceiling is higher. If they show up, they win.

🎯 Ian’s Lean: Cole Palmer to Score or Assist (+110)
Mr. Reliable. Mr. Involved. Mr. Cole Palmer.

🇺🇸 A Little July 4th Energy

Buckets’ holiday goal? “Wake up July 5th with all 10 fingers.”

Ours? Cash some quarterfinal winners and use the winnings to start lining our doomsday bunker with medical supplies, amirite?

Either way, bet smart, grill harder, and stay safe out there.

📆 What’s Next: Coming Saturday

🚨 PRESS THE DAMN BUTTON

Look, we need to talk.

You’ve been slacking on the button.

We spam your inbox.

We give you the YouTube show.

We give you bets that sometimes hit.

And still too many of you treat the button like you owe it money.

This thing is magic. Not just because you’ll win (you might).

But because it gives us free content. It lets us stretch this newsletter to 400+ words without repeating the word CHAOS seventeen times like it’s some sort of strategy.

Here’s the realest thing we can tell you:

Every single tournament, it’s the same arc.

• Group stage? You’re locked in.

• Quarterfinals? You’re fading.

• Semis? You’re gone.

Don’t be that guy.

Don’t be predictable.

Lock in.
