Questions & answers
Everything about access, the plays, the record and billing. If yours isn’t here, the free Discord is the fastest place to ask.
Getting access
01Where are the plays posted?
In the members' channels of the Wizard of Sports Discord. After checkout you connect your Discord account and your member role is added automatically.
02How fast do I get access?
Almost instantly. Connect your Discord from the link in your confirmation email or from your members area on this site, and your role is added within a minute. If it hasn't appeared after ten minutes, message the support channel with your order email.
03Do I need a Discord account?
Yes, it's free. Join the free server first if you want to see how it works before paying.
The plays
04What time do plays go up?
Normally at least three to four hours before the game. NFL plays usually go up the day before, NBA the night before. Occasionally there'll be a late play — if we're waiting on lineups, or an unexpected out opens up a price worth taking — but the rule is a few hours' notice, every time.
05What's a main play versus a smoke play?
Main plays are staked at 2 units or more and are the core of the record. Smoke plays are smaller positions under 2 units — generally laddered alternative lines at long "smoke" odds — and they're tracked separately.
06What's a unit, and how much should I bet?
A unit is a fixed slice of your bankroll, so a 2u play means the same thing to everyone regardless of budget. Set one unit at no more than 1% of the money you've put aside for betting — 0.5% if you want to be conservative. We teach bankroll management inside the Discord; it's the part of betting that keeps you in the game.
07Which bookie do you use?
bet365 covers about 95% of our markets. It has the best lines and market depth for international basketball, and usually the best odds on our smoke plays for NBA and NFL.
08Do you tip every day?
Yes — even in the quiet stretches there's at least one play a day. In season the volume goes up: NBA and NFL are the main event, with FIBA and international basketball year-round and WNBA, college football and college basketball around them.
09Will there be losing runs?
Yes, and you'll see them on the graph. Bankroll management exists so a bad fortnight is survivable — that's the whole point of unit sizing.
The record
10How do I know the results are real?
Every play is settled in the public tracker and units won or lost are posted daily in both the free and paid Discord. The graph on the homepage is generated from that tracker and can't be edited after the fact.
11How are results settled?
At the odds posted with the play, at bet365, at the time of posting. Voids and pushes count as zero.
Billing
12Does my membership renew automatically?
Yes. Every plan, including weekly, renews at the end of each period until you cancel.
13How do I cancel?
From your account page, in two clicks. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for, then your role is removed automatically.
14Can I get a refund?
No. Plays are delivered the moment you're in, so once a period has started it can't be refunded. If you want to try it first, the weekly plan is the low-commitment way in.
15Can I switch plans?
Yes, but subscriptions don't stack — a new plan doesn't add to the time left on your current one. Let your current plan run to the end, then subscribe to the new one. If you already have an active membership the checkout will warn you before you buy a second one.
16What payment methods do you take?
Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay through Stripe, or PayPal. You're charged in your local currency where available.
17Will I get a receipt?
Yes — an email receipt for every charge, and you can download invoices from your account page.
Sensible stuff
18Is this financial advice?
No. Plays are opinions based on our analysis, not guarantees, and past results don't promise future ones. Only bet what you can afford to lose, and if it stops being fun, stop.
19Do you place bets for me?
No. Wizard of Sports is an information service: you're paying for analysis and opinions. We're not a bookmaker, we never hold your money, we don't place bets on your behalf, and there are no prizes or pools. Anyone claiming to bet for you in our name is not us.
20Age and location restrictions?
You must be 18 or over, or the legal betting age where you live if that's higher. It's your responsibility to check that sports betting is legal in your jurisdiction and to follow your local rules.
21Can I share the plays?
No. Membership is for one person. Sharing plays outside the Discord, screenshotting them to groups, or letting someone else use your account gets the account removed without refund. It's the one rule that protects the odds for everyone paying.
22How do I get help?
Message the support channel in Discord, or email wizofsports@gmail.com. Include your order email so we can find you fast.
Ready to get the plays?
One membership, pick how long. Every plan renews automatically until you cancel.
