About Sportslyx
What is Sportslyx?
An AI sports analytics workspace. It turns every game across NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, soccer, UFC and golf into a breakdown: a win probability derived from the market, an AI-written matchup analysis, team and player statistics, and a graded public record of every read. See the About page for what it is and what it is not.
Is Sportslyx a sportsbook?
No. Sportslyx does not accept, hold or pay out money on wagers. The company board is graded at a flat notional stake and your own tracked picks at the stake you enter, purely to measure them — no money changes hands. It is an analytics product for information and entertainment, for adults only.
Is Sportslyx a tout service?
No tout service: the company board is part of every subscription, published before the start and graded in public. It publishes one read per game, dated and settled, so the record can be checked rather than marketed. Nothing on the site is betting advice.
Who is Sportslyx for?
Adults who want the numbers before the narrative: analytics-first fans, people who keep an honest record of their own reads, and model builders who want to test their own stat weights on live games. It is not for anyone under 18.
Predictions & Accuracy
How are predictions made?
Each read starts from the current market line, which is de-vigged into a fair win probability. A per-game package of statistics, form, head-to-head history, injuries and availability is assembled from public feeds, and a language model writes a matchup breakdown around that number. The Methodology page describes every step.
How accurate are the predictions?
Accuracy varies by sport, market and month, and the honest answer is the public record: the Pick Tracker shows settled reads, wins, losses, pushes, hit rate and ROI at a flat stake for each calendar month, across all sports and per sport. Treat every prediction as a statistical estimate; past results do not predict future results.
What does the percentage on a game mean?
It is the market-derived win probability — the moneyline pair with the bookmaker’s margin removed. It is not the language model’s own certainty and it is not a promise; what the model output carries instead is a data-quality tier — rich, partial or weak. The same number appears on the board, on the card and inside the breakdown.
How is a prediction graded?
From the official final score, including overtime and shootouts where the market settles the game that way. MLB player props — the only sport with props — are graded from the box score, and a player who did not play is void, not a loss. A soccer draw is a push. Cancelled fights and postponed games are voided and removed. Golf previews are published for information only and are never graded. Picks close 15 minutes after the scheduled start.
What period does the track record cover?
One calendar month in UTC, product-wide. Hit rate is wins divided by wins plus losses, with pushes excluded. ROI is the net result at a flat stake divided by total stake. The month a read belongs to is the month it settled in.
AI Analysis
What is in an AI breakdown?
A structured read of the matchup: a summary, the case for each side, what the market is pricing, what could move the result, and a closing read tied to the market-derived probability. It is written by a large language model from the per-game package and the line, then validated and cached.
Which model writes the analysis?
A large language model accessed through OpenRouter, which keeps the product provider-agnostic. The model receives structured inputs and a data-quality tier — rich, partial or weak — that tempers how assertive the read may be.
When are breakdowns generated, and do they update?
They are pre-generated for the upcoming slate by scheduled jobs, so a game usually has its read ready before you open it, and then cached. The market-derived percentage on the card follows the line with each board refresh, but the written text is not rewritten when the line moves — a late scratch may not be in the read. A breakdown that fails validation is held briefly and regenerated.
Can the AI be wrong?
Yes, and it is. Feeds can be late, inputs can be incomplete and language models can assert things that are not in their data. Structured inputs, a fixed brief and output validation reduce the risk without removing it. The AI Sports Analysis page lists where the analysis is strong and where it fails.
Sports & Data
Which sports and leagues are covered?
NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, soccer — major European leagues, MLS and the main cups and internationals on the public feed — UFC and PGA Tour golf. Golf previews are published for information only and are not part of the graded record. An esports section exists behind a feature flag. Each sport has its own hub, predictions board, statistics pages and guides.
Where does the data come from?
The ESPN public scoreboard is the keyless primary source for schedules, scores, base lines and box scores in all seven sports. Optional providers — The Odds API, API-Sports, football-data — add enrichment where configured, a free odds feed supplies lines for some markets, and MLB player props come from the ESPN core endpoint. The Data Sources page lists everything.
How often is the data updated?
Schedules, lines and scores refresh several times a day, most often on game day. Team profiles — name, abbreviation and crest — are refreshed daily; form, head-to-head, lines and injuries are assembled per game, not stored on a profile. Breakdowns are pre-generated ahead of the slate and cached; the text is not rewritten when a line moves, only the percentage on the card follows it.
What happens when data is missing or delayed?
Sections degrade rather than invent. The per-game package is marked partial or weak, the breakdown is told to hedge, and empty sections show an explanation. Data can be delayed, incomplete or unavailable, and the product says so when it is.
Combos & Studio
What is a same-game combo on Sportslyx?
A ticket built from legs in one game — moneyline or spread, total and team totals — priced from a single model of how the score is likely to unfold; player props are covered for MLB only and are not a combo leg. Correlated legs are priced together rather than multiplied as if independent, so the price reflects what the legs are really worth as a set.
What is Studio?
A tool for building your own stat-weighted model: choose the statistics you trust, set the weights, run a live game and save the result. Each run is stored next to the market number and the AI read and is graded after the final result, so you can see whether your weights hold up.
Which plans include Combos and Studio?
Both are available on the Pro plan and above. They spend Builder tokens — 120 a month on Pro, unlimited on Unlimited. The 7-day trial runs on Pro, so both are open during the trial.
Are combos and Studio runs graded?
Yes. Saved combos and Studio runs are settled by the same jobs that grade the company board and your tracked picks, from official final scores and box scores, and they appear in your monthly record.
Plans, Trial & Billing
What plans are there and what do they cost?
Three monthly plans, billed in USD with tax charged on top: Starter at $19, Pro at $59, Unlimited at $199. Starter includes 50 AI tokens a month with a cap of 5 AI actions a day and no Combos or Studio; Pro includes 500 AI tokens and 120 Builder tokens with no daily cap plus Combos and Studio; Unlimited removes the token limits and adds the Super Board. Full details are on the pricing page.
How does the free trial work?
New accounts get a 7-day trial of the Pro plan. A card is required and $0 is charged today. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, the subscription renews at the Pro price of $59 a month plus tax. One trial per account; a trial carries a smaller token allowance than the paid plan, shown before you start.
What is an AI token and a Builder token?
An AI token unlocks one match breakdown or one message to the AI assistant about a game. Builder tokens pay for Studio runs and combo builds. Each plan grants a monthly allotment that refills every billing period; tokens are a usage quota, not currency, and have no cash value.
What happens when I upgrade or downgrade?
Upgrades apply immediately at the full price of the new plan and start a new billing period from that day. Downgrades take effect at the start of the next period, so the period you have paid for continues on the current plan. Plan changes are made from Account → Plan.
How do I cancel, and is there a refund?
Cancel any time from Account → Plan or through the Stripe Billing Portal linked there. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for; during the trial it costs nothing. Refund rules, including consumer withdrawal rights and charges made in error, are set out in the Terms of Service.
How do I update my card or find invoices?
Through the Stripe Billing Portal, opened from Account → Plan. Card details go directly to Stripe and never reach Sportslyx servers. Invoices and payment history live in the same portal.
Account & Support
How do I create an account?
Register with an email address and a password, confirm you are 18 or older and accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Access to the product begins when the trial or a subscription is running.
How do I reset my password?
Use the “Forgot password” link on the sign-in page. A one-time reset link is emailed to the address on the account; it stops working as soon as the password is changed.
Can I export or delete my data?
You can delete your account yourself at any time from Account → Danger zone; deletion signs you out everywhere, closes any active subscription at the end of the paid period and removes your personal data. To request a copy of your data, or to have the account deleted for you, write to support@sportslyx.com.
How do I contact support?
Email support@sportslyx.com from the address you registered with. For a settlement or data question, include the sport, the date and the game. The Contact page explains what to include for each kind of request.
