Terms of Use
Effective date: November 8, 2026. Please read these terms. By using Gameday Picks (the "site") you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the site.
1. Who may use the site
You must be at least 21 years old (or the legal age for sports betting where you live, if that is higher). The site is not for anyone under 21. The site is intended for adults in the United States. Sports betting is legal in some places and not in others (it is not legal in California, for example): you are responsible for knowing and following the laws where you are. Nothing on the site is an offer, solicitation or invitation to bet anywhere, and the site never takes, places, passes on or arranges bets or money for anyone.
2. What the site is
The site is a free, independent sports research and entertainment site. It publishes the output of fixed, pre-written rules (for example "picks", "Top pick", "2nd Choice", "Strong" and "Neutral" ratings, game "calls", parlay examples and player-prop numbers), the betting lines they were compared with, and the full record of how they did. The site does not take bets, hold money, run contests, sell anything, show ads, or use affiliate links, and it is not connected to any sportsbook account. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any sportsbook, league, team, player or media company.
3. Not advice
Everything on the site is general information for entertainment. It is not betting, gambling, financial, investment, tax or legal advice, and it is not a recommendation that you place any bet. Ratings and labels describe how a fixed rule scored a game; they are not a judgment about what you should do with your money. No advisor, fiduciary or other special relationship exists between you and the site. Every decision you make is yours alone.
4. No promise of results; betting risk
Betting involves real risk of loss. Most bets lose money over time, parlays lose more, and you can lose everything you stake. No rule on the site has a tested, proven edge over the betting market, and past results, backtests, records and "potential payouts" do not predict or promise future results. Potential payouts are arithmetic on the prices shown, not a likely outcome. Only bet what you can afford to lose. If gambling stops being fun, please see the Responsible gambling page or call 1-800-MY-RESET (national helpline) or 1-800-GAMBLER (California).
5. Data may be wrong or late
Lines, odds, scores, statistics, injury news and weather come from third parties and automated programs. They can be late, incomplete or wrong, and betting lines change constantly. The site may be unavailable at any time. Always check the current line and the latest news with your sportsbook and an official source before deciding anything.
6. No warranties
The site and everything on it are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the fullest extent the law allows.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, the person who runs the site will not be liable for any loss or damage of any kind arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site, including betting or gambling losses, lost profits, lost data, or indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, even if told such loss was possible. If liability cannot be excluded, the total liability for all claims is limited to US$10. Some places do not allow some of these limits, so they apply to you only as far as your local law permits.
8. Your responsibility
You use the site at your own risk and accept the risks of betting described above. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the person who runs the site from claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the site, your bets, or your breaking these terms or any law.
9. Fair use of the site
You may read and share the site for personal, non-commercial use. Please do not: resell or republish the site's picks as part of a paid service; overload, attack or try to break into the site or its computers; use the site for anything unlawful; or present the site's content as an official product of any sportsbook, league or team.
10. Names, trademarks and content
The site's own text, design, logo and code belong to the person who runs it. ESPN, DraftKings, and league, team and player names belong to their owners and appear only to identify whose line, game or statistic a number is. Sports facts (scores, statistics, published lines) belong to no one. If you believe something on the site infringes your rights, contact us at [email protected] and it will be reviewed promptly.
11. Links to other sites
The site links to news and data sources it cites. Those sites are not under our control and have their own terms and privacy policies; a link is not an endorsement.
12. Changes
The site, its rules and these terms may change at any time. Changes take effect when posted here with a new effective date. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
13. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in California, and you and the person who runs the site agree to their jurisdiction.
14. General
If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Not enforcing a part of these terms is not a waiver. These terms, the Privacy Policy and the Responsible gambling page are the whole agreement about the site.
