Ha thanks. As I mentioned in another comment, I had previously worked salaried corporate jobs but being in a cash business of this nature made me much more in tune with my finances.

Ha I just checked and I only worked two Valentine's Days (because of days of the week). Both were higher than average though.

I didn't mention it here but thank you for pointing that out ;)

I worked salaried corporate jobs until I started stripping when I was 37 and the switch to 1) variable earnings, 2) daily accounting, and 3) cash earnings really changed my perspective on my income and spending.

Thanks for the attention! On another note, searching this subreddit turns up exactly two posts about stripper earnings that I can find, both authored by me. So a simple solution would be to block me and then you won't ever have to see my posts again. 👍

Thanks for the feedback! The second bar in each group is just a screenshot of the two teams with the final score. I figured people reading this would be interested in Super Bowls and would recognize those, but maybe not.

My thought with the colors was to use blue for the baselines and red if it was below baseline and green if above baseline.

Thanks for pointing that out. I went into a lot of detail about that in my post from a few weeks ago that showed all my daily earnings over four years. :)

An analysis like this might work on a more macro level for all strippers but the vast majority of my earnings in later years were from my regular customers. So I arranged my work schedule to accommodate them.

Apparently there was some study years ago positing that strippers earn more when ovulating.

Definitely. If you look at my post from a few weeks ago you can see my daily earnings rise over four years.

Thank you -- the last point is the one that was most important to me!

Zero as compared to zero. My DMs are closed on all public platforms :)

Ha I would hope someone in school for a stats degree would make something better than a basic bar graph. :)

Thank you! It was a long learning curve for me.

I was thinking I should separate those out -- thanks for taking a look!

Shortly after the 2020 Super Bowl strip clubs shut down because of the pandemic. I haven't been back to dancing since then.

I definitely hesitate to draw any global conclusions. If you look at my post with all my daily earnings over four years you see things can be quite spiky, so this could very well be a four-time fluke. My one theory would be that people who won money on the Super Bowl might want to spend it the next day. But to your point, I never talked with other dancers who had detailed records. :)

Based on my experience with non-Super Bowl NFL games that were played locally, it was both!

Any suggestions on what a better design would be?

HOW I MADE THE VISUALIZATION: Numbers and Photoshop. Over the years I always kept a daily log of my earnings and other data.

BACKGROUND: A few weeks ago I posted my daily stripper earnings over four years. My initial comment on that post has a lot of basic info about strip club earnings if you are interested (all earnings shown are net after tip-outs and fees but before taxes). Some commenters asked if the Super Bowl brought in extra revenue so I decided to take a look. Keep in mind that this is ONE stripper's experience over only four Super Bowls.

ABOUT THE DAILY AVERAGE: I considered a few options for what to compare the Super Bowl Sunday and Monday earnings to. I went with the entire prior year's average (counting from the Tuesday after the prior Super Bowl to the Saturday before the relevant Super Bowl). As you can see, my average went up as the years went on and I became better at earning, so maybe it's unfair to use shifts as old as 11 months prior. I considered using an average from some time prior AND after the game. I also considered using Sunday and Monday shifts only because days of the week did tend to be different. Curious to hear thoughts on what would be the most interesting comparison.

LOCAL EFFECT: None of the Super Bowls were played where I danced (Los Angeles area) which obviously would have had a huge impact because of the influx of visitors. Only one game featured an LA team. Anecdotally, I did notice a boost in earnings on days when regular NFL games were played locally. I remember one busy Sunday afternoon in particular when there was a blowout and tons of fans from both teams bailed on the game early and came to the strip club instead.

WAS SUPER BOWL RELEVANT AT ALL: Looking back on my notes, I can point to lots of factors that may have influenced my earnings. The 2/5/17 Super Bowl ($84) was at a club that I was doing very poorly at, so my low earnings were actually not bad for that spot at that time (the Raiders bikiniI I wore may have helped or hurt my cause). The Monday after the 2/4/18 Super Bowl ($1,670) was my best shift ever and was thanks to a one-time-only high-rolling customer. I didn't even do any private dances with him; he just tipped me while I sat and talked with him. He said he was spending because of his divorce, but who knows, maybe he had won a lot of Super Bowl bets the day before. The Monday after the 2/2/20 Super Bowl similarly included a one-time-only medium-rolling customer (along with two of my regulars).

I WAS NOT OVULATING: I got this question so many times on my last post that I'm just pre-empting it here. I do not ovulate.

IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A RUDE COMMENT: My last post had plenty, so in addition to being offensive and unfunny, just know that you are also being unoriginal.

Thanks for reading!
