Now, let's look at my Rithmm AI custom betting models. 

Below you will see my Rithmm model providing AI predictions for the New York Liberty vs Las Vegas Aces: 

This model shows that both teams are predicted to combine for over 173 points. With Rithmm, users can have Rithmm build a model or customize one based on preferences. Let's break down my model for my AI pick. This model is the Rithmm AI model that I built using a multitude of factors including:

• Offense - This element measures a team's offensive capabilities using metrics like points scored, field goal percentage, and assists.
• Defense - In this element, the AI uses metrics like steals, blocks, turnovers forced, and points allowed to measure a team's skill on defense or just their defensive rating overall.
• Three-Pointers - Our 3 pointers element focuses on not just how often but how efficient a team shoots from beyond the arc.
• Fouls - The model accounts for both personal fouls committed and drawn, which can impact the flow of the game and player availability.
• Tempo - The tempo aspect is used to determine which teams have the most possessions within the 40 minute game.

With the factors included in my model, the backtest tells me that my model will hit on the total points line 55.4% of the time with an ROI of 5.63%. Ultimately, it means that your model is battle tested and can be helpful in finding the best edge for you.

Tonight, I’m going with the over (172.5) in tonight’s action. The trends point that way and my Rithmm model agrees with my AI pick. And remember always gamble responsibly.
