IPJ went full inferno on Saturday, sweeping his 5-pack with a calm, clinical flex. Arias (+215) Mastantuono (+190) Lautaro (+105) Brandt (-110) All delivered.
Buckets stayed warm too, breaking even to stay in profit over the last 5 days. And he was hard done breaking even when Inter couldn’t manage a 3rd goal to cash that o2.5 TT despite 82% possession and 26 shots. Grumble grumble. Bottom line - up 6.9 units on the day. Red-hot heading into Sunday’s 4-game slate. Growl.

📆 SUNDAY’S FULL SLATE

🕛 12 PM ET – 🇮🇹 Juventus v Wydad Casablanca 🇲🇦

🪣 Buckets: Wydad over 0.5 TT (+110)
☠️ Ian: Both Teams to Score (+150)

We were impressed by Wydad against Man City and expect the North African side to give Juve a tougher match than their 5-0 romp last week.

🕒 3 PM ET – 🇪🇸 Real Madrid v Pachuca 🇲🇽

🪣 Buckets: Over 1.5 Goals in the 1st Half (+105)
☠️ Ian: Real Madrid over 2.5 TT (-105)

Real Madrid needs to start scoring. Pachuca needs to start conceding. Both guys are expecting goals early & often.

🕕 6 PM ET – 🇦🇹 RB Salzburg v Al Hilal 🇸🇦

🪣 Buckets: Al Hilal over 1.5 TT (-130)
☠️ Ian: Al Hilal Moneyline (-115)
☠️ Ian: Al Hilal 1st Half Moneyline (+135)

Despite opening with a win over Pachuca, we’re still wondering why RB Salzburg is here instead of, say, Liverpool. And was anyone betting on the Asian sides to beat up on the European sides before Al Hilal managed to take a gutsy point off of Real Madrid? What a wild journey this has been, this Club World Cup, huh? Plenty of good seats still available for this one btw 🏟️

🕘 9 PM ET – 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Man City v Al-Ain 🇦🇪

🪣 Buckets: Over 1.5 Goals in the 1st Half (+100)
☠️ Ian: Over 3.5 Goals (+115)
☠️ Ian: Erling Haaland to Score 2+ Goals (+215)

Much like with Real Madrid, it’s time for the City giant to awake, early & often. Let’s see that Dortmund-era Haaland looking like a cyborg scrimmaging against a team from the 1950 World Cup.

🎯 Viewer Bets: Reed’s Read Was Written in the Stars

Saturday wasn’t just a heater for the hosts. Everyone was winning, including friend of the show Reed Phillips, who dropped a tidy Dortmund ML + Inter ML parlay at -110. Dortmund went wild in a 7-goal shootout. Inter took care of business. And anyone who tailed cashed.

So… was it just sharp analysis? Or something deeper?

June 21, 2025 marked the summer solstice, with the sun moving into the first degree of Cancer, a sign known for emotional precision and home-turf dominance. Dortmund’s second-half surge? Cancer energy protecting its shell. Inter’s no-frills 2-1? Peak solstice efficiency.

We’re not saying astrology won you money.

But it definitely didn’t hurt.

📺 MONDAY’S LIVE SHOW: WIN OR GO HOME

Sounders alive. Atletico desperate. Messi watching. Buckets cooking.

We’re LIVE at 2pm ET Monday — right when lineups drop for a must-win Atletico v Botafogo clash. With goal differential in play, Atletico might need to run it up… and believe it or not, Seattle's not dead yet - a shock upset over PSG plus a Botafogo win would put the Sounders in the Round of 16.

Over in Group A, the math’s simpler:

Miami is through with either a result vs Palmeiras or any help from Porto vs Al Ahly.
We’ll preview it all, pick some goal scorers, and maybe even sniff out another 1H total.
Be there. Be loud. Be Buckets.

🤡🎪🪣

🌕 THE SUN MOVED INTO CANCER. IPJ MOVED INTO LEGEND.

Let’s recap:
On Saturday, the sun slipped into Cancer.
And Ian Paul Joy slipped into perfection.
Five bets. Five wins. No flinch. No flourish. Just flame.

Buckets held the line.
Reed’s parlay delivered.
And somewhere between the tilt of the earth and the arc of Mastantuono’s left foot, everything clicked.

Now it’s Sunday.
The solstice still hums in the background.
And we’re not here for omens
We’re here for outcomes.

So trust your gut. Read the signs.
And play like you’ve already seen the final score.

🔴 Live show hits tomorrow at 2PM ET. See you then.
