Short answers about ForBets: what it is, how to choose an analyst, how to buy a pick, and whether ads play a part.
ForBets is a marketplace of sports predictions. Independent analysts publish picks for upcoming matches, and you can buy a single pick or subscribe to an analyst you trust. We are not a bookmaker and we do not take bets. The record of every analyst is public: the win rate, the settled picks, the trust score and the reviews of readers who bought. A published pick cannot be edited, so you see who is right before you pay.
The site has three parts. The predictions page lists the matches with picks on sale, the analysts page lets you compare records, and the news page follows the sports you choose. Everything you bought stays in one place in your account, and the price of a pick is always shown before you pay.
Read the win rate together with the number of settled picks: 100% from three picks tells very little. The trust score, from 0 to 100, grows with a long and steady record in a sport. Filter the list of analysts by sport, price and trust score, or compare up to three of them side by side. Analysts who work in several sports have a separate record in each one, so look at the sport of your match.
Open the profile of an analyst to see the settled picks, the record in each sport and the history of the trust score before you buy. A review can only come from a reader who bought a pick, so it is tied to a real purchase. If you are not sure yet, start with one pick instead of a subscription.
Open a match or a pick, press Buy prediction and pay by card, in crypto or from your balance. The pick unlocks as soon as the payment is confirmed. A subscription opens every pick the analyst includes in it, for a week, a month or a set number of days, and renews until you cancel it. If a match is cancelled, the price goes back to your balance. More in the frequently asked questions.
A pick stays in your account until the match is over, and you can leave a review once it is settled. If something goes wrong with a payment, write to us through the contact page: we answer within 5 business days, and questions about a payment go first.
No. A pick is an analyst's opinion, and past results do not guarantee future ones. You must be 18 or older, and you should bet only what you can afford to lose. If gambling stops being fun, free and confidential help is a call away: BeGambleAware in the UK and the National Council on Problem Gambling in the US.
Decide how much you can lose before you start, and take a break if you feel you are losing control. The advice of an analyst never replaces your own judgment, and a long record does not make the next pick safe. ForBets is a place to buy opinions, not a place to place bets.
Yes. Some banners and links lead to partners: they are advertising, and we may earn a commission when you use an affiliate link. Advertising has no part in the win rate or the trust score, which are counted from settled results only. The details are in the Terms of Service.
A published pick cannot be edited, so nobody can tidy up a record afterwards. If a link or a banner looks wrong to you, write to us through the contact page, and we will look at it.
Win rate
Wins divided by wins and losses, in percent. Pending and void picks are not counted.
Trust score
A number from 0 to 100. A new analyst starts at 50: every settled win raises it and every loss lowers it. It stays empty until the first settled win or loss.
Pending
A pick whose match has not ended, or whose result is not settled yet.
Void
A pick that was cancelled together with its match. It is not counted, and its price goes back to the wallet.
