Disclaimer

Last updated: May 14, 2026 · Effective immediately

This Disclaimer covers important limitations and clarifications about the nature of SportsBetEdge content, the risks associated with sports betting, and the boundaries of our independent analyst role. Please read this carefully before using any information, tools, or strategies from this site.

1. Not Financial or Gambling Advice

Nothing on SportsBetEdge constitutes financial advice, investment advice, gambling advice, or a recommendation to place any specific bet. All content is provided for informational and educational purposes only.

The strategies, tools, and approaches discussed on this site (including arbitrage betting, value betting, matched betting, promo conversion, and bankroll management) are presented as educational information about how these methods work. They are not personalized recommendations for your specific financial situation.

Before engaging in sports betting, you should consider your financial situation, risk tolerance, and the legal status of sports betting in your jurisdiction. If you are unsure, consult a qualified financial advisor.

2. Our Independent Analyst Role

SportsBetEdge operates as an independent research and analysis platform. We evaluate sports betting tools through:

  • Vendor documentation and feature analysis
  • Free trial and demo evaluation
  • Aggregated user sentiment from public communities (Reddit, Trustpilot, Discord, betting forums)
  • Pricing and feature comparison across competitors
  • Quarterly content refresh based on vendor updates and community feedback

This methodology is similar to that used by respected review platforms including NerdWallet (financial products), Wirecutter (consumer electronics), G2 (software), and Capterra (business software). We synthesize publicly available information and community data to help users make informed decisions.

We do not claim to have personally tested every feature of every tool we review. Our reviews represent our analysis based on the sources described above, not personal first-hand experience with every aspect of every platform.

3. We Do Not Test with Real Money

SportsBetEdge does not place real-money bets to test the tools we review.

Our reviews are based on feature analysis, free trial evaluation, vendor documentation, and aggregated user reports from public communities. We do not claim to have personally generated the profit figures cited in our reviews or profit stories sections.

Profit figures cited in our content (such as "users report $1,500/month" or "median user ROI of 6.2%") are derived from aggregated community reports, not from our own betting activity. These figures represent what users in public communities have reported, not guaranteed outcomes.

Any historical references to "testing" in older content on this site refer to feature and interface evaluation, not real-money betting. We have updated our content to reflect this positioning clearly.

4. Profit Stories Disclaimer

The profit stories and community reports featured on SportsBetEdge are subject to the following important limitations:

  • Individual results vary significantly. The profit stories we feature represent specific users' experiences. Your results may be substantially different, including losses.
  • Selection bias. Users who report profits publicly may not be representative of all users. Users who experience losses are less likely to post publicly, creating a bias toward positive outcomes in community reports.
  • Unverified claims. We cannot independently verify the accuracy of individual user profit reports. We paraphrase and cite sources but cannot confirm that reported figures are accurate.
  • Conditions may not apply to you. Profit reports often assume specific conditions: multiple sportsbook accounts, significant bankroll, active daily use, and specific geographic markets. If your situation differs, results will differ.
  • Past performance is not indicative of future results. Market conditions, sportsbook policies, and tool effectiveness change over time.
  • Failure rates are real. We publish failure rates (the percentage of users who quit before becoming profitable) because honest representation of risk is essential. Sports betting is not a reliable income source for most users.

5. Calculator Disclaimer

The free calculators on SportsBetEdge (arbitrage, expected value, Kelly Criterion, hedge, no-vig, and parlay) are mathematical tools for educational and planning purposes. They are subject to the following limitations:

  • Garbage in, garbage out. Calculator results are only as accurate as the inputs you provide. Incorrect odds, probabilities, or stake amounts produce incorrect outputs.
  • Real-world execution risk. Calculators assume you can place bets at the displayed odds. In practice, odds change, bets are rejected, and execution errors occur. The arbitrage calculator assumes both sides can be placed simultaneously, which is not always possible.
  • Probability estimation. The Kelly Criterion and expected value calculators require you to estimate the true probability of outcomes. These estimates are subjective and may be wrong. Incorrect probability estimates lead to incorrect stake recommendations.
  • No guarantee of profit. A positive expected value calculation does not guarantee profit on any individual bet or series of bets. Variance means you can lose money even on mathematically positive bets.

SportsBetEdge accepts no responsibility for financial losses resulting from reliance on calculator outputs.

6. Tool Review Disclaimer

Our tool reviews are based on analysis conducted at a specific point in time. Tool features, pricing, sportsbook coverage, and availability change frequently. The following limitations apply:

  • Pricing may have changed. Always verify current pricing directly on the tool provider's website before subscribing.
  • Features may have changed. Tools add, remove, and modify features regularly. Our reviews may not reflect the most current feature set.
  • Sportsbook coverage may have changed. The list of supported sportsbooks changes as tools add or remove integrations.
  • Availability may have changed. Some tools are not available in all countries or US states. Availability changes as regulations evolve.
  • Free trial terms may have changed. Trial lengths, credit card requirements, and trial features change frequently.

We update our reviews quarterly, but we cannot guarantee that all information is current at the time of your visit. Always verify details directly with the tool provider.

8. Tax Information Disclaimer

SportsBetEdge provides general information about tax treatment of sports betting winnings in various jurisdictions. This information is for general educational purposes only and is subject to the following limitations:

  • We are not tax professionals. Nothing on this site constitutes tax advice. Tax laws are complex and vary significantly by jurisdiction, individual circumstances, and the nature of your betting activity.
  • Tax laws change. Tax treatment of gambling winnings changes as legislation evolves.
  • Individual circumstances vary. Your tax obligations depend on your specific situation, including your total income, filing status, and jurisdiction.

Consult a qualified tax professional for advice specific to your situation before making decisions based on tax considerations.

9. Sports Betting Risk Warning

Sports betting involves the risk of losing money. You should only bet what you can afford to lose.

Even mathematically sound strategies carry risk:

  • Arbitrage: Execution errors, odds movement, bet rejection, and account limitations can result in losses even on theoretically guaranteed opportunities.
  • Value betting: Requires a large sample of bets (500-1,000+) before results reliably reflect your edge. Short-term variance can result in significant losses even with positive expected value.
  • Matched betting: Errors in calculation, exchange liquidity issues, and bet voiding can result in losses.
  • Promo conversion: Sportsbook terms and conditions change. Offers may be withdrawn or restricted. Errors in execution can result in losses.
  • Account limitations: Sportsbooks may limit or close accounts that consistently win, reducing or eliminating future profit opportunities.

The failure rates we publish (30-60% of users quit before becoming profitable, depending on the strategy) reflect the real difficulty of profitable sports betting. Most people who attempt sports betting lose money.

10. No Guarantee of Results

SportsBetEdge makes no guarantee, express or implied, that:

  • Any tool reviewed on this site will generate profit for you.
  • Any strategy described on this site will generate profit for you.
  • The profit figures cited in community reports are achievable by you.
  • Calculator outputs will translate to real-world profits.
  • Any tool will remain available, functional, or affordable in the future.

Individual results depend on many factors including your bankroll size, number of sportsbook accounts, geographic location, time invested, execution quality, and market conditions. Results vary significantly between users.

11. Responsible Gambling Resources

If sports betting is causing financial, emotional, or relationship problems, please seek help immediately:

Signs of problem gambling include: betting more than you can afford to lose, chasing losses, lying about gambling, neglecting responsibilities, and feeling unable to stop. If you recognize these signs, please seek help.
