Terms of Use

By using this website, its tools, or the email we send, you agree to these Terms of Use and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

These terms form a binding agreement between you and Wire Industries Inc., of 11270 Exposition Boulevard, Floor 2, #642029, Los Angeles, CA 90064, which operates this site as The Sports Broker (“we”, “us”, “our”). If you are using the site on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you have authority to bind it, and “you” means that organisation.

Section 14 contains a binding arbitration agreement and a class-action waiver. It affects how any dispute between us is resolved. Read it, and note that you have 30 days to opt out.

You may use this site only if you are of legal gambling age where you are — 21 or older in most US states, 18 in a few — and only where sports betting is lawful for you.

Legality is your responsibility, not ours. Sports betting law differs by state and by country and changes often. We show prices and offers we believe are available in a given state, but we do not verify your location, your age or your eligibility, and nothing on this site is a representation that betting is lawful for you.

You must not use this site if:

• You are on a self-exclusion list, or otherwise prohibited from betting.
• You are an athlete, coach, official, team or league employee, or anyone else subject to a sports-integrity restriction on wagering.
• You are accessing it from a jurisdiction where its content is unlawful.

The Sports Broker publishes information and analysis about sports betting markets: where prices sit across sportsbooks, how they have moved, and where a statistical model disagrees with them.

It is not betting advice, financial advice, or investment advice. We are not registered or licensed as an investment adviser, a broker-dealer, a commodity trading adviser or a financial adviser in any jurisdiction, and nothing here is a personal recommendation. We do not know your circumstances, your finances or your tolerance for risk, and we are not holding ourselves out as knowing them.

We do not accept, place, broker, settle or guarantee bets. We do not hold your money. We have no access to your sportsbook account and will never ask for its password or payment details.

Every decision to place a bet is yours alone, made on your own judgement, with money you can afford to lose.

Parts of this site display output from a statistical model that simulates seasons and produces probabilities. Those numbers are estimates. They are not predictions, and they are not guarantees.

Specifically, and without limiting anything above:

• A probability is not an outcome. A team shown at 58% loses that market roughly two times in five. That is the model working correctly, not failing.
• An “edge” is a disagreement, not a verdict. It is the difference between our estimate and a sportsbook’s implied price. It is not a statement that we are right and the market is wrong.
• Any label, tier, verdict or ranking we attach to a price is editorial shorthand for that disagreement. It is not a recommendation to take a position, and it is not a rating in any regulated sense.
• Model output is produced at a point in time and is not necessarily re-run continuously. Prices move constantly. A figure on this site may be out of date by the time you read it.
• Odds are gathered from third parties and may be delayed, incomplete, mis-recorded or simply wrong. Availability, limits and eligibility vary by state and by account. The sportsbook’s own displayed price at the moment you place a bet is the only one that counts.

Past performance of any model, method, analysis or bet does not indicate future results. Sports betting loses money for most people who do it, and nothing on this site changes that.

We have paid commercial relationships with sportsbooks. When you follow a link from this site and open an account or place a bet, we may receive compensation. This is our primary source of revenue and you should read everything here with that in mind.

What that does and does not mean:

• It costs you nothing and does not change the price you are offered.
• We may not have a relationship with every sportsbook. A book we have no relationship with may still appear in our comparisons, and may also be absent from them.
• Bonus and promotional offers belong to the sportsbook, not to us. Their terms, wagering requirements, expiry and eligibility are set by the book and can change without notice to us.
• We do not adjust a model output, an edge or a ranking because of a commercial relationship.

This disclosure is made under the US Federal Trade Commission’s endorsement and testimonial guidance, and applies to the whole site and every email we send.

Links to sportsbooks and other third parties are provided for convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, offers, terms, privacy practices, security, or anything that happens to you on them.

Your relationship with a sportsbook — the account, the deposit, the bet, the payout, and any dispute about any of them — is entirely between you and them. We cannot intervene in a sportsbook dispute, recover a withdrawal, reverse a bet, void a limit, or restore a closed account.

Some features require an account or an email address. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for everything done under your account. Tell us promptly if you believe it has been compromised.

You must provide accurate information and must not use another person’s address without permission. We may suspend or terminate access at any time for breach of these terms, and you may stop using the site at any time.

Marketing email goes only to people who asked for it, and every message carries a one-click unsubscribe — see the Privacy Policy.

You must not:

• Scrape, crawl, harvest or systematically extract data from the site, or access it by automated means, except a search engine obeying our robots directives.
• Copy, resell, redistribute or republish our analysis, odds data or model output as your own or as part of a competing product or feed.
• Reverse engineer the model, or attempt to derive its inputs, weights or methodology.
• Interfere with the site, probe it for vulnerabilities, or circumvent rate limits, access controls or geographic restrictions.
• Use the site for anything unlawful, including betting where it is illegal for you.
• Impersonate us, or use our name, marks or content in a way that suggests we endorse you.

We may investigate and take any action we consider appropriate for a breach of this section, including blocking access and reporting conduct to authorities.

The site, its written analysis, its design, its code and its model output are owned by us or our licensors, and are protected by copyright and other rights. You receive a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to view and use them for your own non-commercial purposes. Nothing else is granted, by implication or otherwise.

Team names, league marks and sportsbook brands belong to their owners and are used to identify what is being priced. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the NFL, any team, any league, or any sportsbook beyond the commercial relationships disclosed in section 5.

If you believe material here infringes your copyright, send us enough detail to identify the work and the material through the contact form, with a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised, and we will act on it under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Betting should be entertainment paid for out of money you can afford to lose. It should never be a way to make income, recover a loss, or solve a financial problem.

If gambling is causing you harm, help is free and confidential:

• 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537) — the US National Problem Gambling Helpline, 24 hours a day.
• Text 800GAM to 800321, or visit ncpgambling.org.
• Every licensed sportsbook offers deposit limits, time limits, cool-off periods and self-exclusion. Use them.

We will honour a request to stop sending you betting-related email. Ask through the contact form and it will be actioned without argument.

The site and everything on it are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free, that odds or model output will be accurate, current or complete, or that any particular result will be obtained from using it.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, or for any gambling losses of any kind, arising out of or connected with your use of the site — whether the claim is in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or otherwise, and whether or not we were advised that such damages were possible.

This applies in particular to any bet you place, any price that turns out to be wrong, unavailable or stale, any model output that proves incorrect, any interruption of the site, and anything that happens to you on a sportsbook’s site.

You act on your own judgement. What we publish is information and analysis, made available to the public free of charge and without regard to any individual’s circumstances. We give no advice and make no recommendation, and we undertake no duty to any reader in respect of any decision they take. We make no warranty, representation or promise as to any outcome, and nothing on this site is an assurance that any bet, price or position will produce any particular result.

Accordingly, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any decision taken on the basis of anything published here, or for any loss arising from such a decision. No relationship of advice, agency, fiduciary duty or trust arises between us and any reader, and reliance on this site as a substitute for your own judgement is not reasonable.

This allocation of risk is an essential basis on which the site is made available free of charge, and it applies even if a limited remedy is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless The Sports Broker and its officers, employees, contractors and agents from any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage or expense — including reasonable legal fees — arising from your use of the site, your breach of these terms, your violation of any law, or your infringement of anyone’s rights.

We will notify you of any such claim and may, at our own expense, assume the exclusive defence and control of it. You will not settle any claim in a way that imposes an obligation on us without our prior written consent.

Please read this section carefully. It requires most disputes between us to be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court, and it waives your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. You may opt out within 30 days — see 14.6.

14.1 Informal resolution first

Before starting an arbitration or any other proceeding, you agree to send us a written notice of dispute — through the contact form or to legal@sportsbrokerbets.com — describing the dispute, the relief you want, and enough detail for us to evaluate it. We have 30 days to respond and try to resolve it. Most problems end here. This step is a condition of starting arbitration, and the 30 days do not count against any limitation period.

14.2 Agreement to arbitrate

If the dispute is not resolved informally, you and we agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms, the site, or our relationship — including its formation, interpretation, breach, termination, enforceability, and whether a claim is subject to arbitration — will be resolved by binding individual arbitration and not in court, except as stated in 14.3.

This agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

14.3 What is not arbitrated

• Small claims. Either of us may bring an individual claim in a small claims court with jurisdiction, instead of arbitration.
• Intellectual property. Either of us may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to stop infringement or misuse of intellectual property, or unauthorised access to the site.

14.4 How arbitration works

Arbitration is administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by this section. The rules and forms are at adr.org.

• One neutral arbitrator decides the dispute.
• You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or video, on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live.
• The arbitrator may award any relief a court could award to you individually, and must follow these terms.
• The arbitrator’s award is final and binding, and judgment on it may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
• We pay the arbitration fees. Where the AAA consumer fee schedule allocates a filing fee to you, we will pay it, unless the arbitrator finds your claim frivolous. Each side otherwise bears its own legal fees, unless a statute or the arbitrator provides otherwise.

14.5 Class-action waiver

You and we each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, private attorney general or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

You and we also waive any right to a jury trial for any dispute covered by this section.

14.6 Your right to opt out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement and the class-action waiver. To do so, send us a notice through the contact form, or to legal@sportsbrokerbets.com, within 30 days of first accepting these terms, saying clearly that you are opting out of arbitration and including the email address you use with us. That is all that is required.

Opting out affects nothing else. Your access to the site, and every other term here, is unchanged, and we will not treat you differently for it. If you opt out, disputes are resolved in the courts identified in section 15.

14.7 Coordinated filings

If 25 or more demands for arbitration raising substantially similar claims are filed by or with the assistance of the same person or firm, the demands will be administered in batches of no more than 50 at a time, with a single arbitrator per batch and a single set of filing fees per batch. Any limitation period is tolled for demands awaiting a batch. This provision is intended to make coordinated filings workable, not to delay them, and either side may ask the AAA to speed up the process.

14.8 If part of this section is unenforceable

The class-action waiver in 14.5 is not severable. If it is found unenforceable in whole or in part with respect to any claim, then this entire section 14 is void as to that claim, and the claim proceeds in the courts identified in section 15. Sections 14.3 and 14.6 are severable from the rest of this section.

14.9 Time limit

Any claim arising out of or relating to these terms or the site must be brought within one year of the date it arose, or it is permanently barred — except where a longer period is required by law.

These terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

Where a dispute is not subject to arbitration under section 14 — because it falls within 14.3, because you opted out under 14.6, or because 14.8 applies — you and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and each waives any objection to venue there.

If you are a consumer, nothing here deprives you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of the state or country where you live — including, for California residents, rights under the Consumer Legal Remedies Act, which cannot be waived — and you may also be able to bring proceedings in your local courts where the law gives you that right.

These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us about the site, and replace any earlier understanding. If a court finds a provision unenforceable, the rest stays in force and that provision is narrowed to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable — subject to 14.8, which works differently and deliberately.

Our failure to enforce a term is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of the business. There are no third-party beneficiaries.

Neither of us is liable for failure to perform caused by events outside reasonable control. The sections that by their nature should survive termination — including 5, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 — do survive.

Notices to you may be given by email to the address on your account, or by a notice on the site. Notices to us may be given through the contact form for ordinary matters. Formal legal notices must be sent to legal@sportsbrokerbets.com or in writing to:

Wire Industries Inc.
11270 Exposition Boulevard, Floor 2, #642029
Los Angeles, CA 90064

We may update these terms. The effective date at the top always reflects the current version, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.

For a material change we will give notice more prominently than a date — by email to subscribers, or a notice on the site — at least 30 days before it takes effect. A change to section 14 does not apply to a dispute of which we had notice before the change took effect, and a new arbitration agreement carries a fresh 30-day opt-out.
