First, a word about our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. It’s an opinion, a read of the moment—never a guarantee. Sport is unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the whole script changes.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no risk-free bet. Even when something looks ‘obvious’, it isn’t. Yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Best advice: be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it almost never ends well.
- Betting should stay a hobby, not a job or income source. If it’s taking over your life, stressing you out, or causing problems, take a break. If needed, talk to a specialist organisation — that’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, the responsibility’s yours. Reading our content means accepting the risk is real and won’t vanish, even with the best analysis.
- Essential reminder: betting is banned for minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral out of control (money loss, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment on our part
Our predictions don’t amount to a contract. They carry no legal weight. In short: you can’t use them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Information that changes
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. In the meantime a lineup (like the Capitals’) can change, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis becomes outdated. We can’t be held responsible.
Your role
Before betting, just check that gambling is legal where you live. If it’s not, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
