đź’µ One Lucky Bet

A parlay with a 400x return. Plus, Dave Portnoy's turbulent Spirit ride and more.

Happy Friday Zingers! Big Tech had a big day yesterday — but they didn’t get there by playing nice. Netflix, Spotify and YouTube have all announced they will not support apps for Apple’s Vision Pro. Oh well. I wasn’t exactly clamoring to experience Squid Game in VR anyway.

Today, we’re taking a look at an unparalleled parlay, Portnoy’s bumpy ride and more.

MARKET SNAPSHOT

Yesterday: The NASDAQ Composite led the way. Meanwhile, the Dow lagged on the day, as energy and financial names underperformed tech — but honestly, how could they not?

On Our Radar: Several regional banks are reporting this morning, including Comerica, Regions and more. Here’s to a better Q1 for the sector than last year’s.

So Basically: While many investors remained scared to board Spirit’s stock, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy took a stab at $SAVE’s stock yesterday.

But Then: In the same minute, the company announced a restructuring and the stock nosedived by more than 20%.

And A Twist: Portnoy endured the turbulence, and ended up making his money back before the market closed.

FIVE ZINGERS

All In: Investors sure love their chips. Here’s why Super Micro Computer’s stock took off yesterday.

Mag 7 2.0: Goldman’s CEO Solomon says he doesn’t see the Fed cutting rates seven times this year — but it would be magnificent for stocks if they did.

Betting On The House: Investors are thinking the house always wins and running up DraftKings’ stock.

Nothing Micro About It: Microsoft overtook Apple as the largest company in the world, and this analyst thinks there’s more growth to come.

Now That’s A Lunch Date: One man spent $5 million on two lunches with Warren Buffett. Here’s what he got out of it.

ONE FOR THE ROAD

Briefly: One skilled (read: lucky) bettor placed a parlay that is poised to pay off spectacularly.

The Details: The parlay included four championships across different leagues:

  • Las Vegas Aces WNBA Champions: -230

  • Texas Rangers MLB Champions: +850

  • Michigan NCAA Football Champions: +850

  • Baltimore Ravens NFL Champions (Super Bowl LVIII): +1,800

The Payload: The $10 bet could win the FanDuel user $24,000 if the Ravens end up taking home the Lombardi Trophy. They are currently the second favorite to do so, after the San Francisco 49ers.

The Out: The house may be scared it won’t win this time. The sportsbook is offering the bettor a $4,000 cashout option. Hey, a 400x bagger ain’t bad if you ask me.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PARTNERS

You’ve probably seen the news: there’s a bourbon shortage.

But how did this happen?

The answer might surprise you - flavored whiskey.

Flavored whiskey is a trendy new category of whiskey with flavors like peanut butter, strawberry, and cookie dough. (Basically, dessert in a bottle.)

But there’s a problem. Flavored whiskey uses 6 to 18-month-old casks. These casks could, would, and should be great bourbon 4+ years from now. Instead, producers are using this premature whiskey to make lower-quality flavored whiskey and disrupting the supply chain.

Here’s how you can take advantage of this trend. Vinovest enables you to invest in traditional high-rye bourbon. These casks will be held for 5 years to ensure that they become great bourbon, and Vinovest will take care of storage, insurance and eventual selling of your whiskey.
