As Always, Good Luck and Play Responsibly

It’s time for The 7 Best!
I made this logo myself on Grok 2 and I kinda like it. Yes, I’m a real person. What are you, stupid? But I like this AI-built logo.

LAS VEGAS — 9 weeks and 63 positions into The 7 Best and we are coming off an a glorious session the week prior. Last week’s results yielded a 6-1 ledger ATS and an easy conversion of the week’s Top Choice. It was an eclectic mix of skill, power, confidence and panache. The 7 Best record sits at 33-30 (52.4%), 6-3 (66.7%) Top Choice, season to-date. This being an arduous competition (*using Friday numbers*) where I’m mirroring myself against a bunch of hacks (with exception to some) who are competing in a well-known competition (CFFI), on a well-known network whilst using the same scoring system, I can stand behind this current record. In relation to the scoring system for this project, this record equates to a total of 36 points (1.5 per TC win, 1 point per win, .5 per push). This stays relevant now and in the coming weeks as my departure in the competition comes when I would be the next eliminated in the CFFI. The good news is, there’s risky business boys and curtain jerkers, with like, 28 points, so we don’t have to worry about elimination just yet.

Having all said, here are my 7 Best ATS/Total positions for this weekend in College Football and the National Football League. I think you all sense citing my lack of inclusion in the sports betting space — in favor of people who couldn’t shine my shoes or carry my briefcase — the “gloves are off.”

At this juncture, I don’t need to say much. The above stats speak for themselves. If you want me to explain my plays in full detail, then I’m more than happy to supply my writing to your platform and/or do a full phone interview segment. Anything less is unsatisfactory to me and doesn’t fit the profile of a professional holding the above statistics. To exclude me from public presentation is a major disservice to you, the bettor and you should be asking the questions to whomever you subscribe to or pay for picks as to why they don’t have the best people working for them. -T

Creator’s Note II: This week’s 7 Best used odds from Circa Sports and William Hill on the day of publish (today). In the opinion of this author, Circa Sports serves as the premier destination in the brick-and-mortar Sportsbook genre in American Gaming and is a certain travel destination for those who visit the great city of Las Vegas. William Hill has the best overall betting menu and is the undisputed champion of soccer betting in the LV market. To be transparent with you, I don’t play at Circa because I’m not welcome, or at minimum not (action and person-wise) wanted. I’ve stopped playing on account at WH as, in my opinion, risk communicates with media entities on what I’m doing, which I find funny because that app doesn’t represent all my action:
