Account-safe mode

Account-safe mode trades a little edge for a lot more account life. It hides the bets most likely to get you limited and makes your stakes look normal. It slows limits down; nothing can promise to stop them.

The three settings

Both safe settings round every suggested stake to a normal amount: $5 steps under $100, $10 steps up to $250 and $25 steps above. DFS picks, low-hold markets and bets at exchanges are never hidden, because those do not get you limited at a sportsbook.

See what it hid

The board tells you how many picks safe mode hid and why. Tap "Show them anyway" to see everything for that view without changing your setting.

Your account health score

My bets scores each book from 0 to 100 based on your tracked bets, the way a book might look at you: how often you beat the closing line, how many niche markets and arbs you bet, how big your edges are, and how new the account is. Healthy is 70 and up. Below 40, give that book a rest or stick to main lines there. It is our estimate, not what any book actually sees.

Why give up edge

A limited account is worth almost nothing, and the ongoing promos at a healthy account add up to more than most single bets. A slightly smaller edge you can keep betting for months beats a big edge you can bet for two weeks.
