Decision support, not wagering

Responsible Gambling

Research should improve the quality of a decision, never create pressure to wager. SharpDataOS does not take bets and does not promise profit.

Keep the decision in proportion

Set money and time limits before opening a sportsbook.
Never wager money needed for housing, food, debt, or savings.
Do not chase losses or treat a model output as certainty.
Take breaks, use sportsbook deposit/time limits, and consider self-exclusion when control is slipping.
If uncertainty, stale data, or price movement changes the thesis, passing is a valid decision.

U.S. problem-gambling support

Call or text the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-MY-RESET. The National Council on Problem Gambling says the service is available 24/7 and connects people and loved ones with local support and treatment resources.

You can also find help by state or use online chat (opens in a new tab). Availability, self-exclusion, and legal-age rules vary by state and jurisdiction.

Immediate crisis

The gambling helpline is not an emergency service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911. In the United States, call or text 988 or visit the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (opens in a new tab).
