February 2026 was a quieter month in volume but a tougher one in outcomes. We placed 68 bets across 14 leagues and 100 teams, and finished down $95.34 with a 35.3% hit rate. After January’s narrow profit (+$39.71) on higher volume, this was a reminder that a bankroll-linked flat stake does not soften a downswing; it simply keeps exposure proportional while variance does the rest. The hit rate ticked slightly lower again, and the month never quite found the same foothold in results that carried us through parts of January.
The clearest positive signal came from BTTS_YES, where we landed 4 of 8 (50%). It is a small sample, but it suggests our edge may be presenting more cleanly when the market is pricing game state and match-up dynamics rather than the full three-way result. By league, La Liga 2 stood out at 66.7% from three bets, though that’s more a note for the watchlist than a conclusion. With fewer bets overall, it also takes less to skew the month, which is part of the story here.
The main lesson from February is about selectivity under expansion. We stayed broad in league coverage, but the combination of modest volume and a negative month increases the importance of reviewing where our model-to-market gaps are both frequent and stable. For March, the process question is whether we tighten the filter to the leagues and markets where we repeatedly see pricing edges, and treat pockets like BTTS_YES and La Liga 2 as early tendencies rather than a new baseline.
