Risk Disclaimer & Responsible Gambling

DegenOdds guarantees nothing: not profit, not accuracy, not availability, not any outcome. Terms like "arbitrage", "guaranteed return", "+EV", and "edge" describe arithmetic on prices captured at a moment in time. Between that moment and your bet, lines move, books cut limits, bets get voided, rules differ, venues settle the "same" market differently, data feeds go stale, and mistakes happen. A position that is profitable on paper can and sometimes will lose real money. Past performance — ours, yours, or a politician's — does not predict future results.

Sports betting involves substantial risk of loss. Never bet money you cannot afford to lose. Sportsbooks may restrict or close accounts they believe are engaged in arbitrage or advantage play — that risk is yours. Always verify the odds, the line, the limits, and the house rules at the sportsbook itself before placing any wager; the number on our screen is not an offer and may be stale. You must be of legal gambling age (21+ in most U.S. states) and located where betting is legal.

The Politician Trades and Prediction Markets features present publicly available information — government disclosure filings and exchange prices — with analytics. They are not investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security or contract. Congressional filings are self-reported, disclosed up to 45 days after the trade, reported only in dollar ranges, and sometimes amended; by the time a filing is public, the trade is old news. DegenOdds is not a broker-dealer or investment adviser. Consult a licensed professional before making investment decisions.

Every wager, trade, and financial decision you make while using the Service is yours alone. DegenOdds does not place bets, hold your funds, or share in your wins or losses, and accepts no responsibility for them. See our Terms of Service for the full disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability.

Gambling should be entertainment, not income, and not an escape. Set a budget and a time limit before you start. Never chase losses. If betting stops feeling like a choice, help is free and confidential:

• National Problem Gambling Helpline (U.S.): call or text 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537), available 24/7.
• Gamblers Anonymous: gamblersanonymous.org
• National Council on Problem Gambling: ncpgambling.org

Most regulated sportsbooks offer deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion — use them. If you have self-excluded anywhere, please do not use DegenOdds to route around it.
