Bet with a plan, or not at all.

Ground rules we recommend

• Set a bankroll you can afford to lose and never add to it to chase losses.
• Size bets small. Our calculators default to quarter Kelly, which is still aggressive for most people.
• An edge is a long-run average. Losing streaks happen even on good bets.
• Take breaks. Pause Discord alerts from the alerts page whenever you want.
• Never bet on credit, and never bet to pay bills.

Warning signs

Betting more than planned, hiding bets from family, borrowing to bet, or feeling anxious when you are not betting are signs to stop and talk to someone.

Take a break from BetBot
