How It Works
The 30-second version, then a full walkthrough of one week.
The 30-second version
Every week you get a card with 7 sports questions, one per day. Each question has 2 possible answers. You pick one per day.
Here's the twist: you also get 7 tokens to spend, one per day. The token you spend on a day decides how many points that pick is worth.
Put your Bomb (34 points) on the day you feel best about. Save your Chalks (8 points) for the toss-ups.
Maximum possible score in a perfect week: 118 points. The leaderboard ranks by score. You need 4 correct picks to qualify for rewards. Wrong picks do not end your week. Your other tokens still play.
Your seven tokens
Same allotment every week. You decide which day each token goes on.

Your best day
Right pick → you earn the full value of the token you spent. Bomb on a correct day = 34 points.
Wrong pick→ 0 points. The token is gone. You don't get it back, and you can't move it to another day.
The cost of a wrong Bomb isn't the lost points (a Chalk would have gotten you 0 too). It's the lost opportunity. Your week's upside is now capped lower.
A full week, walked through
Here's how a real week plays out from Monday to Sunday.
Monday: the card drops
You open the app. The Week 4 card has 7 sports questions, one per day. You have until Tuesday morning to pick your answers and assign your tokens. You spend about 90 seconds reading the questions, then plan your token spend:
| Day | Pick | Token spent |
|---|---|---|
| D1 | NBA: Edwards outscores Tatum tonight | Chalk 8 |
| D2 | NBA: Jokic outrebounds Giannis | Bold 21 |
| D3 | NFL: Nico Collins outgains Ja'Marr Chase in receiving yards | Bomb 34 |
| D4 | NFL: Mahomes throws more TDs than Hurts | Avg 13 |
| D5 | MLB: Cole records more strikeouts than Skenes | Avg 13 |
| D6 | Golf: Scheffler shoots a lower round than McIlroy | Bold 21 |
| D7 | NASCAR: Larson finishes higher than Byron | Chalk 8 |
Notice the strategy. You put your Bomb on Nico Collins, the day you feel most confident in your edge. You kept your Chalks on Day 1 (less sure) and Day 7 (could go either way). Your Bolds are on the days you have a strong read but not a lock.
Tuesday through Sunday: results come in
Each day, the real-world result drops. Your dashboard updates automatically.
Day 1
Edwards outscores Tatum, 35 to 28. Right.

Final tally
84 / 118 points, 5 of 7 correct.
You cleared the 4-pick minimum, so you're eligible for rewards. Your Bomb landing was the difference. That single correct call was worth 34 points, almost a third of the week. If you'd put your Bomb on Day 2 (Jokic) instead of Day 3, the week would look very different: 8 + 0 + 21 + 13 + 0 + 21 + 8 = 71 points. The token placement was the difference between 71 and 84.
Sunday night: rewards pay out
Say 47 players locked entries that week. Top 10% rounds up to 5. If your 84 points lands in the top 5, you earn a free entry into next week's paid contest — your ticket to compete for the Grand Prize without paying a dime. If you posted the single top score, you also earn the 🏆 Week 4 Champion badge, which goes on your profile permanently.
That's the whole game.
The 4-pick eligibility floor
You need at least 4 of 7 picks correctto qualify for any reward in a given week. Below 4, you don't qualify. No free entry, no Champion badge, no cash bonus when paid launches.
This is the skill floor. Pick Sevn rewards being good, not just showing up. If you can't pick 4 out of 7 sports questions right, you're probably guessing.
If nobody in a given week hits 4 correct, no rewards are paid out that week.Rare but possible in a tough week. That's by design.
Free vs Paid
Free version (live now)
No entry fee. No cash directly — but the free version is your path to the Grand Prize. Finish in the top 10% and you earn a free entry into the paid contest, where the money is. Prove yourself here, compete for the Grand Prize there — without spending a dollar.
- Top 10% of eligible entries earn one free entry into next week's paid contest.
- Top scorer earns a permanent 🏆 Week N Champion badge that lives on their profile and shows on the leaderboard. Tied at #1? All tied players get the badge.
- Top scorer also gets the same free paid entry as the rest of the top 10%. The badge is the prestige.
Paid version (coming soon)
$10 per week. Same token game, same scoring, same 4-pick floor. Three things can happen each week:
- The 7-for-7 grand prize.Anyone who got all 7 picks correct (regardless of token placement) splits the guaranteed prize evenly. No 7-for-7 winners? The company increases next week's guaranteed prize.
- Top scorer cash bonus.If the week had more than 50 paid entries, 10% of the guaranteed prize goes to the top eligible scorer in cash. Ties at #1 split it evenly. 50 or fewer entries? This doesn't trigger.
- Top 10% free entries. Same rule as the free version. Top 10% of eligible paid entries earn a free entry into next week.
The company-guaranteed prize starts at $100 in Week 1 of paid. If nobody hits 7-for-7, the company increases the guaranteed prize the following week. The longer it goes unwon, the bigger it gets. Free entries you earn in the beta carry over the moment paid opens.
Paid is coming soon.
