Advertising & affiliate disclosures
Clear statements about material connections, odds sources, and how we label placeholder data. 21+.
Affiliate commissions
theWagerDesk may earn a commission from sportsbook or wagering partners linked on this site. This never affects our picks or analysis. We do not currently display partner links or widgets. When we do, they will be clearly disclosed next to the link or offer, limited to licensed operators, and shown only where that offer is legal.
Material connections
If we have a material connection to a sportsbook, prediction market, DFS operator, ADW, or other wagering company — including an affiliate, advertising, or data partnership — we will say so in plain language next to that content. Paid or sponsored placements will be labeled.
Odds and data sources
Sports odds come from licensed or free data feeds, currently The Odds API when a snapshot is available, and are shown with their source and the time they were captured. Racing cards link out to official track pages; we do not republish entries, morning-line odds, or program contents. Always confirm the current price and rules with the operator before you bet.
SAMPLE data
Anything marked SAMPLE (or "Sample data" / "Sample lines") is placeholder data for layout only — generic teams and made-up numbers, not real odds, entries, or results. SAMPLE labels appear only when live data is not available. They are removed when a real snapshot is showing.
Picks are not guarantees
Picks, previews, and analysis are opinion and entertainment only. Nothing on this site is a guarantee of any result. Every bet can lose. theWagerDesk is not a sportsbook and does not accept wagers. "G's take" appears only when G has personally weighed in. AI-assisted analysis is labeled Applying G's handicapping method.
State availability
Sports betting, prediction markets, daily fantasy, and horse-race wagering are legal only in certain states and only for people who meet the operator's age and eligibility rules. Availability changes. Check the laws where you live before you bet. Future partner links will be limited by state (void where prohibited) and will not be shown in a state where the offer is not allowed.
This page is information, not legal advice. Responsible gaming help is available if betting stops being fun. 21+.
