Important reminder: BrickStats uses virtual currency (Bricks) for entertainment only. No real money is wagered on this platform. If you are using BrickStats data to inform real-money sports betting, please read this page carefully.

What BrickStats Is (and Isn't)

BrickStats is a sports analytics platform built to help NBA fans explore player prop statistics. We surface historical hit rates, live odds for comparison, and data-driven context — all for entertainment and educational use.

We are not a sportsbook, not a tipster service, and not a guaranteed edge. No analytics tool can predict the future. Past hit rates do not guarantee future results.

The "Bricks" currency on this platform is virtual and has no monetary value. No real money is at risk when you stake Bricks.

If You Also Bet With Real Money

Many of our users also participate in legal sports betting in their jurisdiction. If that's you, here are some principles worth keeping top of mind:

Set a strict budget before you bet — and stick to it regardless of results
Never chase losses by increasing stakes to "get even"
No single data point, tool, or analyst has a consistent edge over the market
Sports betting carries a negative expected value over the long run due to the vig (sportsbook margin)
Treat sports betting as entertainment spending, not as a source of income
Take regular breaks — don't let prop analytics become an obsession

Warning Signs to Watch For

Consider reaching out for help if you notice any of these patterns in yourself:

Spending more on sports betting than you can afford to lose
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not betting or checking stats
Lying to friends or family about how much you gamble or lose
Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
Continuing to bet despite repeated financial or relationship harm
Spending hours researching picks and feeling compelled to act on every one

These are signs of problem gambling — and help is available. You are not alone.
