Information only
- We don't take bets. FilmRoomPicks isn't a sportsbook and never handles your money for wagers.
- It isn't betting advice. Our boards rank players using public data. They're a starting point for your own research, not instructions.
- No guarantees. Sports are unpredictable and every model is wrong a lot of the time. Nothing on this site means you'll win. Never bet money because a ranking looks confident.
Age and the law
You must be 21 or older, or the legal age for sports betting where you live if that's higher. Sports betting is legal only in some places. Check your local laws before you bet.
Keep it under control
- Set a budget before you start, and only use money you can afford to lose.
- Set a time limit, too.
- Never chase losses by betting more to win money back.
- Don't bet when you're upset, stressed or drinking.
- Betting is entertainment. It isn't a way to make money or pay bills.
- Most sportsbooks let you set deposit limits, take a timeout or exclude yourself. Many states run self-exclusion programs too. Use them.
Warning signs
It may be time to stop and talk to someone if you:
- Bet more than you planned, or more than you can afford.
- Borrow money, or hide your betting from people close to you.
- Feel anxious or irritable when you aren't betting.
- Keep betting to win back what you lost.
- Let betting get in the way of work, school or family.
Help is free: 1-800-GAMBLER, ncpgambling.org and Gamblers Anonymous.
