Common questions

FAQ

The questions people ask before signing up. Nothing hidden.

Is this gambling? Is it legal? ▼

Edge Engine sells predictions, not bets. We don't hold any money, don't process wagers, and don't operate a sportsbook. You get probability estimates and recommendations. Placing an actual bet is on you, with a licensed sportsbook operating in your jurisdiction.

Sports predictions are legal to sell and consume in the U.S. Whether betting on those predictions is legal for you depends on where you live. Most U.S. states now permit legal online sportsbooks, but rules vary. Check your local law before wagering.

Do I need a sportsbook account to use this? ▼

To act on the picks, yes. You need an account with a licensed sportsbook in your state (DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, and Kalshi are common ones). We don't set that up for you.

If you just want to see how our model performs without betting anything, that's fine too. You can subscribe, track the picks, and satisfy yourself that the accuracy claims are real before ever placing a wager.

How much can I actually expect to make? ▼

Honest answer: do not plan on making money from these picks yet. The accuracy page shows every graded pick with the price we recorded when it locked. Over the last 90 days the picks have won a little over 56% of the time, which at the prices on offer is roughly break-even before the book's margin. That is better than most tipster records, and it is not an income.

What you get is a model that locks a probability before every game, a record that is never edited, and the prices to judge it against. If a lasting edge shows up, it will be visible on that page before anyone tells you about it. Anyone promising 30% a month is selling something else.

Set your expectations against that reality. If you want to bet for fun and let a model do the work, this is for you. If you're looking for a fast doubling of your bankroll, this isn't.

What if the model has a bad week? ▼

It will. A win rate in the mid-50s means losing almost half the time, and losses cluster. A four-game losing run is normal and does not mean the model broke.

The important thing is the long-term aggregate. The accuracy page tracks every graded prediction, so you can see the whole record and judge whether a recent dip is within normal variance.

When picks are wrong, we don't quietly delete them. They stay on the record.

What's the free trial? ▼

7 days of full access. No credit card required to start. You'll see every daily pick, every confidence interval, every piece of reasoning, the same as a paying member.

On day 7, if you've added a payment method, we continue your subscription at $19/mo. If you haven't, access just stops. There's no auto-charge, no phone call to cancel a card we never had.

How do I cancel? ▼

From your account page. One button. No phone call, no email chain, no retention specialist. You'll keep access through the end of your current billing period, then your account switches off.

Payments are processed through Stripe, so if anything ever looks wrong on a charge you have their standard dispute protections in addition to ours.

Which sports are covered? ▼

In season right now: MLB, WNBA, NFL and NCAA football. Soccer picks are paused while that model is rebuilt.

Starting in October: NBA and NHL. Off-season sports drop out of the pick feed automatically.

Where can I contact support? ▼

Email replies come from the person building the site, usually within one to two business days. There is no support team behind the scenes. The upside is that you are talking to someone who understands the model; the downside is that weekends are slow.

Use the contact page or the email address on it.
