Questions before applying.
Honest, written-out answers to what most prospective members ask first. If something is missing, mention it in the application, you will get a personal reply.
The membership
What do I actually get as a member?
The membership centres on the Parlay of the Day, one curated multi-leg position, published every morning at 01:00 ET by email and inside your client Dashboard. Around it: the Very High Confidence calls on Player Props, with conviction, edge versus market, and reasoning; totals and spreads at Very High and High Confidence tiers on Match Lines, the same depth applied. The Dashboard also keeps a personal betting journal for your own positions and outcomes against monthly and yearly targets.
Email remains open for case-specific questions. No group chat. No Discord. No push channel.
How is the membership priced?
Pricing is communicated privately during the application response. There is no public price list because there is no public funnel. The work is by invitation, and the price reflects capacity, not volume.
How long does the application review take?
Within 48 hours, including weekends. If you have not heard back within 72 hours, the email may have landed in spam, check there before assuming the worst.
Why is membership capped?
Information edges decay with audience size. A pick that moves the line when ten people see it stops moving when ten thousand do. The cap protects the edge, not the brand.
How recommendations are produced
Where does the data come from?
Player snapshots from ESPN's public stat feeds. Odds from a licensed odds provider, refreshed throughout the day. Live game state pulled in near real time during in-progress games. Nothing scraped from copyrighted models or private providers.
Is this an AI model? An algorithm? A human read?
All three, applied in sequence. A statistical model produces a candidate slate. The framework's six lenses (market context, team knowledge, historical patterns, validation, player dependency, capital discipline) prune that slate to qualifying positions. The final decisions are human. The model never publishes a pick on its own.
Why one position per day?
Cadence enforces clarity. The discipline that lets capital compound is the same discipline that protects you from the version of yourself that wants action on a slow Tuesday. Volume is the enemy of edge.
What happens during a cold streak?
The streak shows on the open ledger like everything else. The framework does not change in response to short-term variance, that would be reactive, not disciplined. If the framework changes, the change is documented and dated; nothing is silently retrofitted.
What you should know
Is this financial advice?
No. NotaSportsGuru provides analysis and consulting. Sports betting carries financial risk. You are responsible for your own positions, sizing, and jurisdiction. Members must be 21+ and located where sports betting is legal for them.
Do I need a minimum bankroll?
No fixed minimum. The application asks about your bankroll because sizing should match the capital you treat as risk-bearing, not because we screen on a number. If your sizing decisions do not match your stated bankroll, that is something we discuss before approval.
Do you take a cut of my winnings?
Never. There are no performance fees, no profit-share, no affiliate kickbacks. The membership fee is the only revenue source, which is what keeps the analysis honest.
What if I have a problem with gambling?
Stop reading and contact 1-800-GAMBLER (US) or your local equivalent. NotaSportsGuru will never knowingly accept a member who is struggling with compulsive gambling, and applications mentioning loss-chasing are politely declined.
Day-to-day
What time are picks delivered?
The Parlay of the Day is published every morning at 01:00 ET, by email and inside your client Dashboard. The early hour is intentional: it gives you the full window to act before lines move, so the position you receive is still the position you can take.
Do I need any special tool to use the membership?
Just a modern browser. The Dashboard works on phone, tablet, laptop. Nothing to install.
Can I cancel my membership?
At any time, by reply to the same email thread that delivered your access code. There is no retention loop, no exit survey, no “wait, before you go” offer.
I lost my access code. What do I do?
Reply to the same email thread you originally received the code in. We will resend or rotate as needed.
