Terms of Use.

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

You must be at least 21 years of age — or the minimum legal age for sports wagering in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher — to use the Service. By using the Service you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. We do not knowingly permit anyone under 21 to create an account, and we may suspend or terminate any account we reasonably believe belongs to an underage user.

Betting Buddy provides analytics, statistics, model-generated estimates, and educational content only. It exists to help you understand basketball data and betting markets. It is important that you understand what the Service is not:

We are not a sportsbook. The Service does not accept, place, broker, or facilitate wagers of any kind, does not hold or transmit gambling funds, and is not licensed as a gaming operator in any jurisdiction.

We do not provide gambling, financial, investment, or legal advice. Nothing on the Service — including model predictions, edge calculations, projected probabilities, Kelly staking outputs, AI assistant responses, or any other content — constitutes a recommendation to place any bet or a promise of any outcome.

Model predictions are probabilistic estimates. They are the output of statistical models applied to historical and current data, and they carry no guarantee of accuracy, completeness, or profitability. A prediction of 60% means the model expects the outcome to fail 40% of the time.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Any historical accuracy figures, backtest results, win rates, return-on-investment figures, or model performance statistics displayed on the Service describe how a model performed on past data. Backtests in particular are susceptible to overfitting, survivorship effects, and market conditions that no longer exist. They are not predictions of future performance and must not be relied on as such.

Most sports bettors lose money over time. You are solely responsible for any betting decisions you make and for any losses you incur. You should never wager money you cannot afford to lose.

Sports betting is regulated at the state, provincial, and national level and remains illegal in some jurisdictions. The availability of the Service in your location does not mean that sports wagering is lawful where you are. You are solely responsible for determining whether sports betting is legal in your jurisdiction and for complying with all laws that apply to you. We make no representation that the Service or its content is appropriate or available for use in any particular location.

If you choose to bet, do so responsibly. Set a budget before you start, never chase losses, and treat any wager as entertainment spending — not income. If gambling has stopped being fun, stop gambling.

If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, help is available. Call 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537) — free, confidential, and available 24/7. We encourage anyone struggling with gambling to use the self-exclusion tools offered by licensed sportsbooks and state regulators, and to stop using this Service if it contributes to unhealthy behavior. You may request permanent closure of your Betting Buddy account at any time by contacting us.

Warning signs, practical limits and more places to get help are on our Responsible Gambling page.

To access certain features you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current information and to keep it up to date. You may register one account per person; creating multiple accounts to evade limits, trials, or terminations is prohibited.

You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access. We are not liable for losses arising from unauthorized use of your account where you failed to protect your credentials.

Paid plans are billed through Stripe, our third-party payment processor. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges to your payment method at the then-current price.

You may cancel at any time through the customer billing portal accessible from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access to paid features until then. Except where required by law, fees already paid are non-refundable, including for partial billing periods or unused time. We may offer refunds at our sole discretion on a case-by-case basis.

We may change subscription prices with reasonable advance notice. Price changes take effect at your next renewal, giving you the opportunity to cancel first.

You agree not to:

(a) scrape, crawl, or harvest data from the Service by automated means, or access the Service through any interface other than those we provide; (b) resell, redistribute, or republish our data, statistics, model outputs, or content, commercially or otherwise, without our prior written consent; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the models, algorithms, or source code underlying the Service; (d) circumvent any rate limits, paywalls, or access controls; (e) use the Service to develop a competing product; (f) interfere with the integrity or performance of the Service; or (g) use the Service in violation of any applicable law.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section, with or without notice.

The Service — including its software, design, text, graphics, models, model outputs, compiled statistics, and the Betting Buddy name and logo — is owned by Betting Buddy or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use in accordance with these Terms. No other rights are granted. Underlying sports facts and league data are not claimed as proprietary; our curation, computation, and presentation of them are.

The Service displays odds, lines, scores, schedules, injury reports, and statistics sourced from third-party providers. This data is provided “as is” and may contain errors, omissions, or delays. Odds shown on the Service may differ from those actually available at any sportsbook at the moment you look. Always verify a line with the sportsbook before relying on it. We are not responsible for the accuracy or timeliness of third-party data, or for the content or practices of any third-party site the Service links to.

We sampled points from its surface; it is illustrative and is not a picture of how our model works.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, THAT DATA OR PREDICTIONS WILL BE ACCURATE, OR THAT USE OF THE SERVICE WILL RESULT IN PROFIT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BETTING BUDDY AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING GAMBLING OR WAGERING LOSSES, LOST PROFITS, OR LOST DATA — ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS CAPPED AT THE FEES YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM (OR $100 IF YOU HAVE PAID NOTHING). THESE LIMITATIONS ARE A FUNDAMENTAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND US.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Betting Buddy and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your betting activity, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without cause or notice, including for violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your license to use the Service ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnification — survive.

We may revise these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice by email or by a prominent notice within the Service before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the current version.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
