The challenge

The sportsbooks have a playbook. Now you can read it.

Betting apps are built by people paid to keep you tapping. This walks you through the six moves they run on you — then sees if you can catch them in the wild. We're not here to tell you to quit. We're here to show you the machine, so it stops working on you.

1. 1Answer 5 quick questions — get your bettor type.
2. 2Read the 6 moves the apps make on you — a few minutes.
3. 3Spot the trick across 8 scenarios — and score yourself.

No account. No email. We don't track you.
