For any followers applying the Sacred Manuscript's "International Tournament Elimination Matches Draw System" strategy in the ongoing UEFA Women's Euro 2025, a profit is already guaranteed with two Draws from the three matches with no odds-on favourite, or three Draws from six matches if you blindly back the Draw in all matches.
Including the Women's World Cup matches, these tournaments since 2009 have ROIs of 22.3% (for the no-odds-on system / 42 matches) and 7.6% in all 86 matches.
Spain are odds-on to beat England in the Final this Sunday.
From an investment perspective, the Women's tournaments overall are a little behind those of the Men, where the respective ROI's in Euros and World Cups are 42% and 35%, but results from the most recent three tournaments show ROIs on a par with those of the Men at 56% and 34% respectively.
The MLB season had its annual All-Star break a few days ago, and the season has been mixed so far for the systems in the Sacred Manuscript. For the second consecutive season the All-Star Break systems had a loss
The Totals System did very well in 2024 with a 64-46-3 record (14.93u / 13% ROI) and so far in 2025 also with an even better 60-38-0 record (19.12u / 20% ROI), but the Road Davids system has gone south in a hurry from a profit of 14.84u in 2024 to a loss this season to date of 21.99u.
With the new football season just around the corner, I'll be updating the numbers for the various systems in the Sacred Manuscript. Backing the Draw in Big 6 matches last season was again profitable although Tottenham Hotspur managed to avoid the draw in all their 10 matches.
In the traditional world of finance, the biggest news since my travels was the spectacular breakout for Bitcoin. Back in November I wrote:
Bitcoin did reach a new high and is currently around $77,000. The S&P500 also set a new high going above 6,000 for the first time ever on Friday.
That $77k is currently $119k and for the S&P 500 index it is at an all-time high of 6,379 right now. Unfortunately $TSLA has taken a dive today after another weak quarter for sales, a comment that Tesla would “probably could have a few rough quarters” and some (once again) rather vague forecasts around its robotaxi service from Elon Musk.
