Responsible Gambling
Sports wagering should be entertainment, never a way to make money. PredictEdge is built to help you make more informed decisions — but no prediction model can guarantee a win, and your losses can add up quickly.

Warning signs
- Betting more than you can afford to lose
- Chasing losses — increasing wagers to "win back" what you lost
- Hiding the extent of your gambling from friends or family
- Borrowing money to fund bets
- Feeling restless, anxious, or irritable when not gambling
- Neglecting work, relationships, or health to bet
Healthy habits
- Set a strict budget for entertainment wagering and never exceed it
- Set time limits — don't let betting eat into other parts of your life
- Never gamble under the influence or to escape negative feelings
- Take regular breaks; use self-exclusion tools at sportsbooks
- Track every bet honestly — many people overestimate their wins
