Terms of use
Last updated Thu 27 Aug
Sports from the Basement is a research subscription. It publishes prices, projections and a graded record. It does not accept wagers, hold funds, or give advice.
What the service is
This site collects odds published by sportsbooks, prices the same markets with a statistical model, and shows where the two disagree. It publishes a record of how those disagreements have settled.
It is information. It is not a sportsbook, not a broker, and not a licensed advisor. No part of this site places a bet, holds money, transfers funds, or connects to a betting account. There are no affiliate links on a price.
No guarantee, and no advice
Every projection on this site is an estimate produced by a model, and the model is wrong regularly — the record page shows exactly how often, including its losing stretches. Nothing here is a prediction of a result, a recommendation to stake money, or financial advice of any kind.
Past results published on this site are a description of what happened. They are not a forecast, and no figure on this site should be read as one.
Eligibility
You must be at least 21 years old, and legally permitted to view sports betting information where you are, to use this site.
Sports betting is regulated differently in every jurisdiction and is illegal in some. Whether you may act on anything you read here is your responsibility to establish, not ours.
Accounts
An account is created with an email address. Sign-in is by emailed link — there is no password to lose. Keep access to your email address; anyone who has it can sign in as you.
One account is for one person. Sharing credentials, or republishing the model output a subscription gives you access to, is a breach of these terms and grounds for cancellation.
Automated collection of this site — scraping, crawling for data rather than for search indexing, or any automated retrieval of member content — is not permitted.
Subscriptions, billing and cancellation
Payment is processed by Stripe. This site never receives or stores a card number.
A subscription renews automatically at the interval you chose until you cancel it. You can cancel at any time from the account menu, which opens Stripe’s own billing portal.
Cancelling stops the next renewal. Access continues to the end of the period already paid for, and is not pro-rated. We do not charge for the period after a cancellation.
If a price changes, the change applies from your next renewal and never retroactively.
Availability
The odds shown here come from third-party sportsbooks and can be delayed, incomplete, or withdrawn without notice. Every data page states the age of what it is showing. A price displayed here is not an offer, and the sportsbook’s own number is the only one that governs a wager.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, and we may change or remove features.
Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, this site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind, and we are not liable for any loss — including money staked or not staked — arising from your use of it or reliance on anything it publishes.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top of this page is when they last changed, and continuing to use the site after a change means accepting it.
