Two Weeks Off. Twelve Bets On. We Took a Breather. Now We’re Breathing Fire.
A new Stoppage Time drop. Back after two weeks. And better than ever. Happy Thursday.
💥 Yes, we vanished. But not really.
It’s Thursday morning, and for the first time in two weeks, your inbox has a Stoppage Time newsletter in it — and there’s a brand-new YouTube episode to go with it. No more silence. No more mystery. We’re back.
But let’s be honest — we weren’t gone-gone. IPJ was back in the MLS booth. Jeff was off, “producing,” um, “things.” And Buckets? Buckets went to Florida to meet the girlfriend’s parents. It went well, including (and especially) the part where her family drank him under the table 🇺🇸
But we missed this. So we’re back. And we’re going big.
22 MINUTES - JUST LIKE “PERFECT STRANGERS”
📺 NEW EPISODE OUT NOW
It’s a monster comeback show, covering the madness of May with all the weird energy that comes from trying to film after two weeks of silence and with a broken microphone.
Inside this week’s episode:
🏆 Cup Final Blitz! — Best bets for the Coupe de France, DFB Pokal & Championship Playoff
🇮🇹 Serie A Wildness — Napoli vs Cagliari & Inter vs Como will decide the Scudetto on the season’s final Friday
🏴 Premier League Final Day — Newcastle, Forest-Chelsea, and City-Fulham all get the treatment
🪄 A personal Dortmund cashout story from IPJ, complete with a +500 top-four ticket
🥴 Buckets recounts in no detail his fascinating journey to Florida to meet his boo’s ma & pa
🧼 IPJ rails against nil-nils from the MLS booth
And yes: there are 12 best bets across the weekend, with odds, logic, and tiny doses of nonsense.
🎯 Friday Picks (2 to get us started)
🇮🇹 Napoli vs Cagliari – 2:45p ET
Buckets’ Pick: Scott McTominay to Score or Assist (+100)
“Fifteen goal contributions in 32 matches. Napoli win the league if they take care of business, and McTominay’s been central to everything they do.”
🇮🇹 Como vs Inter – 2:45p ET
Buckets’ Pick: BTTS + Over 2.5 Goals (+100)
“Como are unbeaten in five. Inter have one eye on the Champions League final. I’m not saying there’s an upset—but I’m saying there are goals.”
📈 BUCKETS: 90 PICKS. +16 UNITS. FULL HEATER.
The last 30 days have been surgical. Across 90 tracked newsletter picks, Buckets went full-on flamethrower and banked +15.98 units of profit, with a 61% hit rate and some nasty little sweeps (Chelsea DC & Under 4.5, BTTS in Copa Lib, etc).

Buckets is too polite to say it, but we’re not: this run has been outrageous. If you’ve been tailing… you’re eating.
💬 Let’s talk about what’s next
We were off making money. That’s the truth.
This project doesn’t yet pay our bills — and we love it, but sometimes that means other work wins the day.
But we also love this enough to ask: If you were paying $8.99/month for Stoppage Time… what would you want from us? More shows? More picks? Private Discord? Exclusive newsletters? Something else? 👉 Click here to tell us
in may the table turns to stone
each point a prayer each kick a throne
the kings of cups the queens of flight
rise under floodlights trimmed with fight
a mistimed touch a final breath
the month where dreams dance close to death
yet through the chaos truth remains
this game is beauty and so are gains
👊 SEE YOU TOMORROW NIGHT, MAYBE
We’ll be back Friday with the full weekend slate - unless Jeff gets a gig in which case, EVERYTHING IS ALREADY IN THE EPISODE ⬅️ 📺 click, click
Until then: bet responsibly, bucket joyfully, and watch all of IPJ’s nil-nils at any cost.
