This is real. I joined for week 4. I was conservative at first wanting verification of the concept. PLATINUM ran 70% for the year. It was plus money 12 of 14 weeks. The only caveat was the picks were averaging -124. I will absolutely be with them again next year. -CHEF

The entire platform has been exceptional. From their communication to customer service. Quick to chat and respond and have delivered some really good insights since joining in under a month. Example here of just taking their NBA data and making good on a parlay. Results are there.

Best research tool in sports betting. Signed up with them and won over $1k in a week using the data they provided. Membership also comes with a dope discord community where everyone shares their insight. Best investment I've made all year
