01What is HaterPicks?
HaterPicks is a sports-betting analytics and research platform for Australian punters. A statistical model projects player props and game lines across AFL, NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, PGA Tour golf and Australian racing, compares live odds across the major AU bookmakers, and grades every projection against the actual result so the model's accuracy is public. It's information and tools — not tips, and not betting advice.
02Is HaterPicks free?
Yes — you can create a free account with no card. It includes the top three projections on the board every day, yesterday’s full board graded so you can check our work, the bet tracker with slip scanning, the public player-prop research pages and the Kelly, EV and arbitrage calculators. The full terminal (model projections, edge vs the line, live odds comparison, cross-book same-game multis, arb scanner) is a paid membership with a 3-day free trial.
03How does the 3-day free trial work?
The trial unlocks the full terminal for 3 days. You add a card (handled by Stripe — we never see it) and $0 is charged today; we email a reminder a day before the trial ends. Cancel in two clicks before then and you're never billed. This is separate from the free account, which needs no card at all.
04What sports do you cover?
Graded and live today: AFL, NBA and WNBA — these are the sports whose model accuracy we publish, because they are the ones with enough graded calls to be worth reading. Projections and odds also run daily on NFL, MLB, the NBL, the NHL, UFC, Australian racing, PGA Tour golf, soccer and F1, across whichever are in season; those are not graded publicly yet. This answer feeds our structured data, so it lists what actually ships, not what is planned.
05Do you cover the NBL?
Yes. NBL player props are on the Projections board this season, projected by the same model that runs the NBA. It is new to the board, so its accuracy is not on this page yet: a sport's hit-rate is published once enough of its projections have been graded.
06Do you cover the NHL?
Yes. NHL player props — goals, points, assists and shots on goal — are on the Projections board every game day, with the line compared across the Australian books that post it. Like the NBL, its graded accuracy goes up on this page once the sample is big enough to be worth reading.
07Do you cover UFC?
Yes. Each fight on an upcoming UFC card shows our chance of each fighter winning beside the chance the market gives them. Method and round markets are listed too, ranked below the winner calls until they have a graded record of their own.
08What's the model's accuracy?
Every projection is graded against the market line after the game, and the live hit-rate — by sport, with the sample size — is shown up this page and updated nightly. Fifty per cent is a coin flip; we publish the real number, wins and losses included, rather than a curated tips record.
09What is Hatelligence?
Hatelligence is our picks engine. It reads the Projections board, flags the spots where its numbers and the market disagree most, and keeps a record of every one it flags — wins and losses — from the moment it flags it. It is part of the paid membership.
10What is Hater Fantasy?
Draft help for Sleeper fantasy leagues. Link your Sleeper username and Hater Fantasy reads your league's scoring and follows your draft live, ranking who to take next with the reason behind each one. NBA leagues first. It is a desktop beta inside the Web Terminal and part of the paid membership.
11Do I need the app, or is it web too?
Both, and one subscription covers both. The Web Terminal runs in any desktop browser — that's the deep-analysis home for comparing prices and hunting edges. The iOS app is for tracking your bets and checking tonight's picks on the go. Use whichever fits the moment.
12What's CLV?
Closing-line value — whether the price you took beat the price at kick-off. Positive CLV over time is the single best signal that you're betting into value, win or lose, which is why your own tracked bets show it beside the price, wherever the market was still priced at the close.
13Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. One button, no forms, no phone calls. Your access stays live until the end of the current period. We hold your data only as long as you have an account.
14Is this gambling advice?
No. HaterPicks is an analytics and research product. We surface projections, model accuracy and price comparisons — what you do with them is your call. Bet within your limits, never chase losses, and remember every book builds in a margin. 18+ only.
