Responsible play
HoofMetrics is analysis, not a betting service. If you do bet, do it within limits you set in advance — and never to chase a loss.
Racing should be entertainment. HoofMetrics publishes data and model analysis to help you understand a race better — it is not betting advice, and nothing we publish can guarantee a result. Betting always carries the risk of loss. Only ever stake money you can comfortably afford to lose.
Our position
- You must be 18 or older to bet in Australia.
- Our content is information and analysis only — it is not financial or betting advice.
- Past model results do not predict future returns. Variance is real and losing runs happen.
- We do not, and cannot, promise profit.
Tips to stay in control
- Set a budget before you start, and treat it as the cost of entertainment.
- Set deposit and time limits with your wagering provider — and stick to them.
- Never chase losses by betting more than you planned.
- Don't bet when you're stressed, upset or under the influence.
- Take regular breaks, and keep betting in balance with the rest of your life.
