Saturday was pure madness—and pure profit.

We closed the day in the green again, fueled by late heroics, massive comebacks, and one unforgettable Clasico finish. Kaoru Mitoma came off the bench in the 63rd minute to equalize in the 89th, cashing his +180 ticket and keeping Brighton’s European hopes alive . Fulham roared back from a goal down at Southampton, scoring twice in the final 20 minutes—including a stoppage-time winner—to cash our Over 1.5 TT . Matheus Cunha found the net again (and dished out two assists) to cash our Wolves ATGS bet .

And to cap it off, Ferran Torres’s 84th minute Copa del Rey equalizer lifted us to plus-units for the day about 40 minutes before Barca lifted the Cup in an all-time El Clasico um, classic.

Here’s how the Saturday board shook out:

✅ Brighton vs West Ham: Mitoma TSOA +180
✅ Wolves vs Leicester: Cunha ATGS +110
✅ Chelsea vs Everton: Chelsea ML + Under 4.5 -110
✅ Frankfurt vs Leipzig: Ekitike 1 SOT + Sesko 1 SOT -120
✅ Barcelona vs Real Madrid: Barcelona o1.5 TT -125
✅ Southampton vs Fulham: Fulham Over 1.5 TT -150
❌ Hoffenheim vs Dortmund: BTTS 1st Half +250
❌ Leverkusen vs Augsburg: Wirtz TSOA +115
❌ Newcastle vs Ipswich Town: Over 1.5 goals 1H +100
❌ Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa: BTTS -125
❌ Bayern vs Mainz: BTTS -130 (and with it, ❌ goes the Bucket of Buckets)

Another day, another donut.

Now, let’s ride this heater into Sunday—where a stacked slate awaits.

🗓️ Sunday’s Slate: Buckets o’ Picks

9:00 AM ET — Bournemouth vs Manchester United
📍 Pick: BTTS + Over 2.5 Goals (+110)

9:00 AM ET — Inter Milan vs Roma
📍 Pick: 1st Half Draw (+125)
🎙️ “I do expect this one to start off slowly, with both teams scared to make a mistake.”

11:00 AM ET — Bodø/Glimt vs KFUM
📍 Pick: Both Teams to Score (+120)

11:30 AM ET — Liverpool vs Tottenham
📍 Pick: Over 1.5 Goals 1st Half (+100)
🎙️“Liverpool will probably crown themselves champions before halftime… and Spurs’ defense has been non-existent.”

11:30 AM ET — Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City
📍 Pick: Forest Double Chance (+110)

🔥 IPJ on Fire: Real Madrid Melts Down, Barcelona Rises

If you thought the match was wild, wait until you hear IPJ break it down.

From torching Real Madrid’s embarrassment to crowning Barcelona’s brilliance, IPJ was absolutely on one after the Copa del Rey Final. He didn’t hold back, calling Rudiger’s antics “absolutely embarrassing” and saying of Madrid: “It’s like a bunch of babies who are crying at the end of that game.”

Meanwhile, he showered praise on Hansi Flick’s Barça, hailing it as “one of the most remarkable seasons we’ve ever seen in their history.”

This wasn’t a postgame recap — it was a flamethrower session. Watch IPJ’s full El Clasico aftermath take in the Golazo segment below.

🚨 A Closing Word from Andy Rooney

You ever notice how when something’s working, the worst thing you can do is talk about it?
Yesterday, we bragged about how good we were at first-half bets.
Today, we couldn’t have found the first-half goals with a GPS and a search party.

Two bets, two flops.
Nothing but fresh air and bad ideas.

Maybe we jinxed it.
Maybe first halves are just lazy now.

But we’re swinging again tomorrow.

We’ll need Liverpool to stop posing for the cameras and score, Napoli to remember they’re in a title race, and, if nobody feels like showing up, maybe Inter and Roma can just hit the snooze button and drift quietly to a scoreless halftime.

It’s not much of a plan.
But it’s ours.
And sometimes that’s all you need.
