West Coast got absolutely carved up in the first half and I didn't even flinch

Eagles 2.12.24 At three-quarter time, sitting eight points down, and I'm watching with the sound off because the live chat at GoldenCrown finally pinged me back about a withdrawal. Old me would've had money on the margin, stress-bet the second half, chased with whatever was left in the Skrill. New me—well, new-ish—just watched them lose by four goals and felt nothing except the small satisfaction of a cleared cashout sitting in my wallet.

Took a 19-year-old through screenshot protocol yesterday, some kid panicking about "account under review" at a site I won't name. Walked him through timestamps, full-page captures, the lot. Got a DM back saying thanks, he's sorted. Small rush, that. Better than any accumulator.

The win I'm riding now won't last. They never do. But the breathing room's real for once, and I'm trying to notice it before it shrinks.
