Iron Marker is a tool, not a sportsbook
Iron Marker helps you analyze odds. It never accepts bets or holds money, and it cannot place wagers for you. Any betting you do happens at a separate, licensed sportsbook, under that book's rules and your own judgment.
Know the risks
You must be 21 or older. Sports betting carries real financial risk — you can lose money. Positive expected value ("+EV") is a long-run statistical edge; it is not a guarantee on any single bet or over any stretch of time. Variance is real, and losing streaks happen even when the math is sound.
Stay in control
- Only bet what you can afford to lose.
- Set limits and stick to them — keep it entertainment, not income pressure.
- Never chase losses.
- Know and follow the gambling laws in your state and jurisdiction.
