Terms of Service

What this is

Odds & Friends is a free game. You guess betting lines without seeing them, and find out how close you were. It is for entertainment only.

No gambling, no money

Nothing here involves real money. You cannot deposit, wager, or win anything. Lines are shown for the game only and are not an offer, invitation, or recommendation to bet.

Lines come from a third-party data provider and may be delayed, incomplete, or wrong. Do not rely on anything here for any real decision, financial or otherwise.

Not affiliated with anyone

This is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by FanDuel, The Ringer, Bill Simmons, Cousin Sal, the NFL, the NCAA, or any team, school, or broadcaster. Names are used to describe publicly stated opinions and publicly available games.

Display names are not moderated

Players choose their own display names, and those names are not reviewed before they appear. You may see names that are offensive, rude, or in poor taste. We do not endorse them.

Don't choose a name that impersonates someone, harasses anyone, or is unlawful. We may change or remove any name, and may remove access, without notice.

Your guesses

One guess per event, and it locks permanently when you submit it. You are scored against the line as it stood at that moment, and later movement never changes your score. There is no editing, undoing, or re-guessing — that is the point of the game, not a limitation.

Age

We recommend this game for ages 13 and up. There is no wagering here and no real money, but the subject is betting lines, so it isn't built for young children.

Accounts

You can play without an account. An account is only needed for things that last a season: your profile, history, groups, and the weekly contest.

You can delete your account at any time from your profile. Deleting it removes your account and the guesses attached to it.

Availability

This is a small project run by one person. It may break, change, or go away. It is provided as is, without warranties of any kind, and without any guarantee that it will be available or accurate.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of it.

Changes

These terms may change. The date at the top says when they last did. Continuing to use the game means accepting the current version.
