When you read a parlay suggestion on a picks content site, it's worth knowing how that site earns money. This page explains our revenue model clearly so you can weigh our content with full context.
How do picks sites like this one earn revenue?
Sites that publish daily parlay suggestions — including Pickswise, BettingPros, Dimers, OddsTrader, CBS Sports, WinnersAndWhiners, and OddsChecker — earn referral commissions from licensed sportsbooks. When a reader clicks a link and signs up or deposits at a sportsbook, the referring site receives a fee. We operate the same way. That is the standard affiliate model across this industry, and we think you deserve to know it upfront.
This creates a potential conflict of interest. A site that earns more when readers sign up at certain sportsbooks has a financial incentive to favor those operators. We acknowledge that tension honestly. Our response is to keep our picks process separate from our commercial relationships. You can read more about how we build suggestions on our About This Site and Our Picks Process page.
Does affiliate revenue mean the picks are biased?
Not automatically, but the conflict is real and worth tracking. The bigger problem in this space is unverified performance claims. Sites such as picksandparlays.net publish marketing language like "100% PERFECT 11-0 LAST 11 MLB SIDES!!" — those claims are not independently audited. CBS Sports model copy claiming to be "up well over $7,000 for $100 players since inception" is also not independently audited. We do not publish win-rate claims we cannot verify. No picks site can guarantee profits, and parlay betting carries meaningful risk with every additional leg added to a ticket.
What does this mean for the links on this site?
Some links on Parlay Picks Today — Free Daily Multi-Leg Suggestions point to licensed sportsbooks. If you click and register, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. Promotions and welcome offers vary by state and operator — availability depends on where you are located. Parlay betting is legal only in states that have authorized sports betting; approximately 30 states offer regulated mobile wagering as of 2025. Always confirm an operator is licensed in your state before depositing. Our Best Parlay Betting Sites in the USA for 2026 page lists only operators holding valid state licenses.
Are there other financial topics bettors should know about?
Yes. Parlay winnings are taxable as ordinary income under U.S. federal law, and most states with income tax also require reporting. Our Taxes on Parlay Winnings in the USA page covers what bettors need to understand before filing.
