Questions, answered.
How membership works, what the Parlay of the Day is, how the record is kept and what you can read for free.
Membership
What do members get?
Two things. The Parlay of the Day by email every morning around 1:00 AM ET, with the legs, the odds and the stake. And full access to the site: every play on the Predictions page, including the high and very high confidence calls, every Insights list from the top, and every leg of the Trend Parlays. Nothing is locked.
How much is it?
The price is sent privately in the reply to your application. Seats are capped, so there is no public checkout and no price list. There is no sportsbook affiliate and no kickback: the membership fee is the whole business.
Why do I have to apply?
Information edges decay with audience size: a pick that moves a line when ten people see it stops moving when ten thousand do. The cap protects the edge. The application also lets us check that a bankroll and a sizing rule sit behind the bet, because the parlay only makes sense with both.
How long does the review take?
Within 48 hours, weekends included. Every application gets a yes or a no. If nothing arrives within 72 hours, check your spam folder for parlay@notasportsguru.com before assuming the worst.
Is there a minimum bankroll?
No fixed minimum. We ask about your bankroll because sizing should match the money you treat as risk capital, not because we screen on a number. If your sizing and your bankroll do not match, we talk about it before approval.
Who can join?
Anyone 21 or over who is located where sports betting is legal for them. The service is built around the US books and the US sports calendar.
The Parlay of the Day
What exactly is the Parlay of the Day?
One curated multi-leg ticket a day, usually two legs, picked from the full slate by our model and a final human read. It comes with the legs, the price of each one, the combined odds and the recommended stake.
When does it arrive?
Every morning around 1:00 AM ET, by email. The early hour is on purpose: you get the whole day to place it before lines move, so the price you receive is still a price you can take.
How much should I stake?
The recommended stake is 5 units. On the public record 1 unit is $1,000, or 1% of a $100,000 starting bankroll, so you scale it to your own bankroll: on $10,000, a unit is $100 and the ticket is $500.
Why only one ticket a day?
Cadence enforces clarity. The discipline that lets a bankroll compound is the same one that protects you from wanting action on a slow Tuesday. Volume is the enemy of edge.
Which sports?
NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL. The ticket follows the board: on a fall Sunday it is football, in October it is often hockey and baseball.
Results
Are the results real?
Every Parlay of the Day since January 2023 is on the record with its date, legs, final scores, stake and result, losing days and losing months included. The home page and the Results page read the same sheet the tickets are logged in.
What does a unit mean here?
1 unit is $1,000, which is 1% of the $100,000 starting bankroll the record is kept on. Each ticket is staked at 5 units, so a win at +200 shows as +10u and a loss shows as -5u.
What happens in a cold streak?
It shows in the open results like everything else. The method does not change in response to short-term variance; that would be reactive, not disciplined. If the method changes, the change is dated and documented, and nothing is retrofitted.
Are the Trend Parlays part of the record?
No. The public record is the Parlay of the Day only. Trend Parlays, predictions and insights are published separately and never mixed into it.
Free on the site
What can I read without a membership?
The daily board of predictions, the Insights lists and the Trend Parlays, every day. A good part of each is open: the low and medium confidence calls, every ranking below its top three and half the legs of each slip. Members have all of it unlocked.
What are the Predictions?
The whole slate on one page. On every game the moneyline, the total or both, wherever the number earns a call, plus the best player prop when one clears the bar, each with a confidence level. Scores update live and every call is graded against the final score.
What are the Insights?
Daily lists counted from games already played: the arms to back and to avoid, players and teams whose streak against tonight's line is still running, and the teams that actually pay as favourites and underdogs at the closing price.
What is a Trend Parlay?
A longshot slip built from player props that cleared tonight's line in nearly every recent game, with the price of each leg and how often it hit. Half the legs are open on Insights; the rest are for members.
How the picks are made
Where does the data come from?
Player and team stats from ESPN's public feeds, odds from a licensed odds provider refreshed through the day, and live game state during games. Nothing is scraped from private models or paid services.
Is it an AI, a model or a person?
All three, in order. A statistical model builds a candidate slate and prices every leg against the book. A set of checks (market context, team knowledge, history, player dependency, capital discipline) prunes it. The final call is human. The model never publishes a pick on its own.
Account and billing
Can I cancel?
Yes, at any time: reply to the email thread your access came in. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for, and nothing renews after that. Payments are not refunded. No retention loop, no exit survey.
Do I need an app or a tool?
No. The email and a modern browser are enough, and the site works on phone, tablet and laptop. There is no group chat, no Discord and no push channel.
I lost my access code.
Reply to the email thread you first received it in and it is resent or rotated.
Responsible betting
Is this financial advice?
No. NotaSportsGuru provides analysis. Sports betting carries financial risk, past results do not guarantee future ones, and you are responsible for your own bets, sizing and jurisdiction.
Do you take a cut of my winnings?
Never. No performance fees, no profit share, no affiliate payments from sportsbooks. The membership fee is the only revenue, which is what keeps the analysis honest.
What if betting stops being fun?
Stop, and call 1-800-GAMBLER (US) or your local helpline. Applications that mention chasing losses are declined.
Still have a question?
Ask it in your application and you get a personal answer with the reply, or write to us any time.
