Porcelain Picks | Bankroll Build Day 3 Recap - Thursday, August 13th

Friday, August 14, 2026

Rough day but nearly a break-even one. The big PGA matchup ticket lost, all three R1 Leader longshots missed, and one of the two Larnach props whiffed, but the $250 Larnach H+R+RBI at even money hit and pulled the day back to just -$5.

Results

❌ Tommy Fleetwood -150 vs Jordan Spieth R1 2-Ball — LOST

  • Wager: $200 → $0 (-$200)

  • The biggest ticket of the day. Model gap said Fleetwood was the massive skill favorite, but golf variance in a one-round matchup does what it does. Process was right, result wasn't.
  • ❌ Tommy Fleetwood +600 R1 Leader — LOST

  • Wager: $10 → $0 (-$10)

  • Added this in the morning as a leverage play on the 2-Ball. Missed alongside the matchup.
  • ❌ Akshay Bhatia +4000 R1 Leader — LOST

  • Wager: $10 → $0 (-$10)

  • Longshot swing on the best Southwind course history in the field. Didn't happen.
  • ❌ Si Woo Kim +3000 R1 Leader — LOST

  • Wager: $10 → $0 (-$10)

  • Longshot on the elite ball-striking profile. Didn't get the hot R1.
  • ❌ Trevor Larnach Over 0.5 HR +575 — LOST

  • Wager: $25 → $0 (-$25)

  • Long-odds swing on the HR side, didn't hit.
  • ✅ Trevor Larnach Over 1.5 H+R+RBI +100 — WON (Hard Rock)

  • Wager: $250 → Paid: $500 (+$250)

  • The saver. Larnach did enough on the H+R+RBI side at even money to nearly wipe out the day's losses. Biggest ticket cashed for a full unit at plus money.

    Still Open (PGA Weekend Outrights)

  • Russell Henley +4000 Outright ($10 to win $400)

  • Si Woo Kim Outright — Kalshi @ 2.56% ($9.99 to win ~$380)

  • Akshay Bhatia Outright — Kalshi @ 1.06% ($10 to win ~$925)
  • These three ride into R2 and beyond. Any of them cashing would be a massive win for the weekend.

    Bankroll Update

  • Starting Bankroll: $693.94

    Not the day I wanted but the biggest ticket cashing kept the damage minimal. Still have three longshot outrights live for the weekend.
