FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI place bets for me?

    No. The AI only fetches and compares the odds. You must place the actual bets yourself on your preferred sportsbook.

    Does the AI update the odds automatically?

    No. The AI only gets the most recent data when you ask it to run a command.

  • 03

    Can it track my betting history?
