Our first week of the playoffs was profitable, and although we only went 1-1, the returns were fine, with a +2.5 unit profit, meaning if you staked $100 on each selection you'd have won $50.

That makes two winning weeks in a row, not bad in a season where underdogs have been incredibly scarce, with the lowest winning percentage since we began tracking in 2013, and the highest number of washout weeks (8) over that span too.
