In the dog days of August, Portnoy also took his Cailtin Clark fandom to new heights, betting $100,000 on the Fever to win the WNBA Championship. It was one of Portnoy's longshots compared to other wagers. He explained on Twitter, "Clark is a top 3 player in the league. Maybe the best. She got rest for the 1st time in a year. Ayliah Boston and her chemistry grows every game. They started 1-8. 10-7 since then and improving. I had to do it." The sixth-seeded Fever ultimatley fell to the Connecticut Sun, the first opponent in the Clark era, in a two-game playoff sweep.

Portnoy on Sept. 19 made his leans for Patriots vs. Jets clear, placing a three pick parlay for the Thursday night affair. Portnoy liked the Pats getting 6 points on the road, and also thought Jets QB Aaron Rodgers would be held to under 214.5 passing yards. To bring it home, he needed Pats tight end Hunter Henry to find the endzone. This parlay did not hit.

Portnoy didn't exactly go out on a whim with his Scottie Scheffler Masters wager, but his $300,000 bet at +450 yielded a lucrative $1,650,000 payout all the same. Portnoy deserves credit for being relatively early on the monster that Scheffler has become across golf betting in 2024, as the Texan has now won 7 times this calendar year, including the Olympic Gold Medal to go along with his Green Jacket.
Keep an eye out for Portnoy to back him during the FexEx Cup Playoffs over the next month at BetMGM Massachusetts.
