Terms of Use

What this site is

First Principles Plays is an educational site about bankroll discipline and decision making in sports betting. It is not a sportsbook and does not take bets. It is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, accountant or law firm. Nothing on this site is financial, investment, tax, legal or gambling advice.

No guarantees. Enter at your own risk.

We do not guarantee any result. The calculators do arithmetic on numbers you provide. The tracker is a log of past picks, and past results do not predict future results. Sports betting is a negative expectation activity for most people, and the most likely long-run outcome is losing everything you put in. Any decision to bet, and any bet you place, is yours alone and at your own risk. Only gamble money you can afford to lose completely.

Who may use the site

You must be 21 or older. Sports betting is legal only in certain places, and it is your responsibility to know and follow the law where you are. We do not direct this site at any place where sports betting or the content here is unlawful.

The plays membership

The paid membership is sold and billed through Whop, a third-party platform, and is also subject to Whop's buyer terms. By joining you agree to the following.

• Entertainment and opinion only. The plays are one handicapper's opinions passed along for entertainment. They are not advice and not a recommendation to bet. Whether and how much to bet is your decision alone.
• Zero refunds. All sales are final. There is no refund for any billing period, including the first, and no refund if the plays lose. You can cancel at any time in your Whop account and keep access through the end of the period you paid for.
• Pricing. Membership is $49.99 a month or $419.99 a year (annual plans are priced 30% below the monthly equivalent). The price in effect when you join stays your price for as long as your membership remains active without interruption; if you cancel and rejoin later, the price for new members at that time applies. New members get a 7-day free trial, one per person. A valid payment method is required to start the trial, and the first charge happens automatically when the trial ends unless you cancel before then. The trial offer is subject to change. Prices for new members may change at any time.
• No guarantees. We do not guarantee any record, win rate or outcome. Past results shown on this site or inside the membership do not predict future results.
• Personal use. Membership content is for your personal use. Do not resell, repost or redistribute the plays. We may remove members who do, without refund.
• Availability. Plays are posted when the handicapper sends them. Some days there will be none. We may change, pause or end the membership at any time.
