"Speaking of Filipe, just go ahead and give him the trophy right now. This guy just doesn’t lose in Brazil. Everyone else is just battling for second," said Ryan Miller in our Brazil pre-amble. For a low-risk roll of the dice, why not put $20 on his head?

How To Spend Your Last $210

Last-second picks to make a buck in Brazil.

Brazil starts in like…seven hours. Maybe.

In the spirit of a receding global economy and crumbling cryptocurrency sector, we decided to risk a small fortune in the hopes of a future windfall, which depends on environmental factors totally outside our control.

Surf gambling!

Attentive readers know that we’ve partnered with Betonline.ag for this WSL season, and part of that partnership means providing picks for every CT event. We’ve had a decent run thus far:


Pipe earnings: +$465
– Bells earnings: +$337
Margaret River earnings: +$136
G-Land earnings: +$101
El Salvador earnings: +$170
2022 Season earnings:  $1,209

Much like flipping heads five times in a row, your next coin toss still has a 50% chance of landing on tails. Which is to say, our current “win” streak could easily end this week. Only one way to find out.

– $15 on Sally Fitz at +1600 to win $240

– $5 on Jake Marshall at +525 to win $26
– $5 on Joao Chianca at +300 to win $15

I’m no financial advisor, but that’s a darn good way to spend your last $210 if you ask me.

Bring me some scalps, boys and girls.

And place your own bets here.
