About this site

What the site does

• The translator on the home page reads a betting line and explains it: what it means, which results win, lose or push, the implied probability of the price and, when both sides are entered, the bookmaker’s margin.
• The guides explain each kind of line, such as the point spread, moneyline and over/under, plus how lines work in each sport.

Educational only

• No bets. This site doesn’t take bets and isn’t a sportsbook.
• No picks. It never predicts results or says whether a line is worth taking.
• No sportsbook links. There are no links to sportsbooks, no affiliate links and no sportsbook offers of any kind. Sportsbooks are only ever mentioned as neutral examples.

The editorial and neutrality statement explains these rules in more detail.

How the translator works

All the maths runs in your own browser. The lines you type aren’t sent to this site or anyone else, and they aren’t saved. The privacy page has the details.

How pages are checked

• Drafting: pages are drafted with the help of an AI writing assistant, then fact-checked against sources and spot-checked by the site’s owner before they’re published.
• Maths: every worked example and table of numbers is checked automatically against the same code the translator uses, using examples calculated by hand.
• Rules and facts: claims about how bets are settled or how a sport works are checked against sources such as official rulebooks and sportsbooks’ published house rules. House rules differ, so pages say “usually” or “check the market rules” where they do.
• Dates: every guide shows when it was last reviewed.

If you spot a mistake, the contact page explains how to report it, and the editorial statement explains how corrections are handled.

Gambling responsibly

Gambling is for adults only, and the minimum age depends on where you live. If gambling is causing problems for you or someone you know, see the responsible gambling page.
