Responsible Gaming

The Syndicate is research, not a reason to bet more. If you wager, keep it entertainment: set a budget you can afford to lose, decide it before the games start, and never chase losses.

Warning signs

• Betting more than you planned, or with money meant for bills
• Chasing losses with bigger bets
• Hiding betting from family or friends
• Feeling anxious or irritable when not betting

Tools at the sportsbooks

Every licensed US sportsbook offers deposit limits, time limits, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion. Most states also run a voluntary self-exclusion program through their gaming commission.

About our picks

Our model's confidence numbers are honest estimates, which means even our best picks lose often. A 60% pick loses 4 times in 10. No pick is a lock, and nothing on The Syndicate should be treated as one.
