⚠️ Critical Notice: Pre-Game Predictions Only
All ClutchTip predictions are generated and published before games begin.
Our predictions do not account for and cannot anticipate mid-game variables including but not limited to:
- Injuries occurring before or during games
- Lineup changes and roster decisions
- Coach decisions and strategic adjustments
- Minutes variations and rotation changes
- Player ejections or suspensions
- Weather conditions (for outdoor sports)
- Any other factors that emerge after prediction publication
1. Entertainment and Information Only
ClutchTip provides sports predictions and statistical analysis for entertainment and informational purposes only. Our Service is not intended as, and does not constitute, professional gambling advice, financial advice, or a recommendation to engage in any betting activity.
The predictions provided by ClutchTip should be considered one of many potential resources in making your own informed decisions. We do not guarantee any outcomes.
⚠️ Important Warning
If you choose to use this information for any purpose involving financial risk, you can lose some or all of your money. Never risk more than you can afford to lose.

2. No Guarantee of Results
While ClutchTip employs sophisticated algorithms and data analysis, we make no representations or warranties regarding:
- The accuracy of any specific prediction
- Future performance based on historical results
- Profitability from using our predictions
- The completeness or reliability of our analysis
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Historical accuracy statistics represent past performance only and should not be interpreted as a guarantee of future success.
3. Backtest vs. Live Accuracy
ClutchTip displays both backtest accuracy and live prediction accuracy separately. These are fundamentally different metrics:
- Backtest Accuracy: Performance when testing the algorithm against historical data. This metric is typically higher because the model has been optimized using this data.
- Live Accuracy: Performance on real, forward-looking predictions where outcomes were not known at the time of prediction. This is the more relevant metric for real-world performance.
We display both metrics separately because transparency matters. Any prediction service that only shows backtest results, or conflates the two metrics, is being misleading.
4. Legal Compliance
Online sports betting is not legal in all jurisdictions. It is your sole responsibility to:
- Determine whether online sports betting is legal in your jurisdiction
- Comply with all applicable laws and regulations
- Ensure you meet all age and eligibility requirements
- Use only licensed and regulated betting platforms
ClutchTip does not facilitate, process, or encourage any form of gambling. We provide information only. Any decision to place a wager is made entirely at your own discretion and risk.
5. Not Financial Advice
Nothing on this website constitutes financial advice, investment advice, or any recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument or engage in any financial transaction.
You should consult with a qualified financial advisor before making any financial decisions, including decisions about sports betting bankroll management.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for:
- The content, accuracy, or practices of third-party sites
- Any transactions you conduct with third parties
- Any losses incurred through third-party services
We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

10. Algorithm Limitations
Our prediction algorithms are based on statistical models and historical data analysis. These algorithms have inherent limitations:
- Models cannot account for all variables affecting game outcomes
- Unexpected events can significantly impact results
- Sports involve inherent unpredictability that no model can fully capture
- Market conditions and odds can change after predictions are made
Our algorithms are continuously refined, but no prediction system can achieve perfect accuracy.
