Ben Burns finished #1 in college basketball (again) last season. He's got the #1 college basketball (and overall basketball) record of all-time. Also on an insane +404.61 unit hoops heater, entering Wednesday, here's Ben's top CBB play from Thursday. No need to wait!

**5% MAX** SATURDAY PERFECT STORM ~ 27-12 THIS CFB SEASON ~ #1 FOOTBALL RECORD SINCE 2023!

Last Saturday's 3-1 card included a wire-to-wire 5% MAX WINNER on Air Force and brought Ben Burns to a BLISTERING 10-1 his last 11. Burns' first full year with us was 2023 and he's maintained the #1 FOOTBALL RECORD ever since. He's an AWESOME 27-12 on the college football season and he's stepping out HUGE on Saturday afternoon. Don't wait on this one!

**5% MAX** NFL BEST OF THE BEST ~ PERFECT 7-0 NFL MAX RECORD ON THE LINE! (EARLY SUNDAY)

Defending NFL Champion Ben Burns is a PERFECT 7-0 his past seven NFL (5%) MAX releases. He's only had one so far this season and it was an EASY WINNER on the Seahawks over the Chiefs. Burns, our #1 FOOTBALL HANDICAPPER since 2023, has found the IDEAL SPOT for his EIGHTH STRAIGHT NFL 5% MAX WINNER. It goes EARLY Sunday and you do NOT want to miss it!

WEEKEND WARRIOR: EVERY FOOTBALL PLAY, SAT & SUN, JUST $49!

Two days. Two sports. One pass. Get every Saturday College Football and Sunday NFL play from your handicapper, and every 5% max football release is in there too, no upcharge. Retail runs $78. You're in for $49!

Here's the edge most people miss: plays go out the moment they're released. Buy early in the week, and you get every play in real time, at the number your handicapper actually bet. Wait until the weekend, and you risk buying in after the line's already moved. The earlier you lock in, the more picks you catch at the right price.

This is the whole football weekend, wall to wall, for less than the price of a single max play elsewhere. Lock in your Weekend Warrior now and don't leave a snap or a number on the table.
