Responsible Gambling

Bet responsibly. Always.

Sports betting should be entertainment, not a source of income. I take responsible gambling seriously and believe everyone should have access to the tools and information to stay in control.

Last updated: February 9, 2026

My Commitment

Even though I provide betting analysis and picks, I want to be crystal clear: sports betting is not a reliable way to make money. The vast majority of bettors lose long-term. Even with a mathematical edge, variance can lead to significant losing streaks.

I emphasize bankroll management, flat unit sizing, and disciplined approach in all my content - not because it sounds good, but because it's essential. If you can't afford to lose money, you shouldn't be betting.

What Responsible Gambling Means

Set strict time and money limits before each session
Only bet with money you can afford to lose entirely
Never chase losses - tomorrow is a new day
Don't bet when emotional, stressed, or under the influence

Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help.
