FAQ

Are picks guaranteed?

No. Content is informational and there is no guarantee of accuracy. Please bet responsibly.

What does stake mean?

What is risk (low/medium/high)?

An informational label that summarizes uncertainty and factors that can affect outcomes (variance, rotations, schedule, etc.).

How are picks generated?

They are based on data-driven models and a consistent methodology, using automated tools under internal review.

How are probabilities calculated?

They are estimated using models that combine event data and statistics. They can differ from real odds depending on the sportsbook, market, and timing.

How often is it updated?

Picks are published and updated based on ingestion and the static build (SSG).

Which sports do you cover?

Why can a pick fail?
