It's Thursday so you know what that means, time for another editions of Bet Busters. This is a big week for the calculator as it tries to climb out of a bit of a slump. Last week the calculator picked the correct winner in 80% of all games but only beat Vegas 45.65% of the time. As far as Bet Busters go, the calculator went 40%. Check out the Week 7 Review to see the game by game breakdown but here are the results of last weeks Bet Busters.

Marshall @ West Virginia = Win
Miami Ohio @ Ohio = Win
Illinois @ Indiana= Win
Central Michigan @ Western Michigan = Win

New Mexico State @ Louisiana Tech = Loss

Kansas @ Colorado = Loss
Northwestern @ Michigan State = Loss
UAB @ Ole Miss = Loss
Colorado State @ TCU = Loss

Miami @ Central Florida = Loss

**Late Spread** 
Northern Illinois @ Toledo = Loss

So as you can see the calculator went 4/10 on the CentSports.com bets for Week 7. We bet a total of $0.17 and ended the weekend with a balance of $0.2591. So for the second straight week, even though we only got 4/10 picks correct we increased our bankroll, this time by 52.4%.

This is because of two things:
1. We weigh the top Bet Busters more and place more money on those picks, thus increasing the potential payouts.
2. CentSports has an option which allows you to increase your payout by up to 50% just from viewing ads. I realize you can't do this on traditional sportsbook sites but since this was a score calc experiment with CentSports.com we decided to go that route.
