What SPOT is.

SPOT is an information product. It shows NFL games, the prices regulated U.S. sportsbooks are posting, and the opinion of a set of models and a character named Ace about whether a price is worth betting. Every opinion is published to a public record before kickoff and graded from the final score. How that works is on About the record.

What SPOT is not.

SPOT is not a sportsbook. It does not take bets, hold money, or pay out. The bankroll on the record is paper. If you bet, you bet with a regulated book, under that book's rules and your state's law, and that is between you and them.

SPOT is not advice you can rely on to win. Nothing here is guaranteed. The record is public so you can see how the opinions have done, including the losses. Past results say nothing about the next game.

Who can use it.

You have to be 21 or older, and you have to be somewhere it is legal for you to read betting information. If either of those is not true, do not use SPOT.

If gambling is a problem for you or someone near you, call 1-800-GAMBLER. It is free and it is confidential.

The numbers.

Prices and scores come from public feeds and can be late, stale or wrong. SPOT says when a number is stale and when it does not have one. Always check the price at the book before you bet; the book's number is the one that counts.

Your responsibility.

You decide what to do with what you read here. The operator is not responsible for money you win or lose at a sportsbook, for a feed that was wrong, or for a site that was down. Use SPOT the way it is meant to be used: read it, think, then decide.

Changes.

The operator can change SPOT or these terms. When these terms change, the date at the bottom of this page changes with them. The record itself never changes; that is the point of it.
