Sports betting should be entertainment, never a way to make money or fix money problems. Smart Parlays Galaxy publishes research, not guarantees. Here is how we try to keep it that way, and where to get help.

Need help now?

  • 1-800-MY-RESET: the National Council on Problem Gambling's national helpline. Free and confidential. ncpgambling.org
  • 1-800-GAMBLER: another free, confidential problem gambling helpline.
  • Gamblers Anonymous: meetings in person, online and by phone, and a hotline at 855-222-5542. gamblersanonymous.org
  • If you're in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or call 911.

Outside the US, contact your local problem gambling helpline.

Our commitments

  • Smart Parlays Galaxy is for adults 21 and older, where sports wagering is legal.
  • We never call a combination a lock or a sure thing. Everything we publish is research.
  • We show every result, losses included.
  • We never take bets, hold your money or offer credit.
  • If you ask, we close your membership and stop all our emails to you (see "Take a break" below).

Know the odds of a parlay

A combination pays only if every leg wins, so the chance of winning falls fast as legs are added. Even if every leg were a 50/50 coin flip, a 3-leg card would win about 1 time in 8, and a 10-leg card about 1 time in 1,000. Most long combinations lose. Treat any stake as money you're prepared to lose.

Play safely

  • Set a budget before you start, and stick to it.
  • Set a time limit, and take regular breaks.
  • Never bet money you need for rent, bills or food, and never borrow to bet.
  • Don't chase losses by betting more to win them back.
  • Don't bet when you're upset, stressed or drinking.
  • Use your sportsbook's tools: deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks and self-exclusion. Many states also run their own self-exclusion programs.

Warning signs

  • Spending more money or time on betting than you meant to.
  • Chasing losses, or needing bigger bets to feel the same excitement.
  • Hiding your betting from family or friends, or lying about it.
  • Borrowing money or selling things to bet or to cover losses.
  • Feeling restless or irritable when you try to cut back.
  • Betting getting in the way of work, school or relationships.

If any of these sound familiar, please call one of the helplines above. It's free and confidential.
