Play responsibly

Trust the Trends publishes sports models for informational and entertainment purposes. Nothing on this site is betting advice or financial advice, and past model performance does not guarantee future results.

The ground rules

You must be 21 or older (or meet your jurisdiction's legal gambling age) to gamble.

Never bet more than you can afford to lose. Set a budget before you start and stick to it.

Our models measure where they disagree with the market — they do not predict the future. Losing streaks happen, including long ones.

Don't chase losses, and don't gamble to escape stress, boredom, or financial problems.
