# GetSportsData

> GetSportsData (https://getsportsdata.com) is an open sports analytics platform providing historical betting records, against-the-spread (ATS) performance, over/under outcomes, consensus market lines, and a custom situational trend engine for the NFL (1999–present) and NCAA FBS Football (2013–present).

## What This Service Is & Is Not

- **What it is**: An objective historical sports research and situational trend analysis tool. All records (straight up, against the spread, totals) are computed deterministically from verified final scores and historical consensus closing odds.
- **Not a gambling site**: GetSportsData is **not** a sportsbook, gambling operator, or betting platform. We do not accept bets, place wagers, facilitate gambling, or handle monetary gaming transactions.
- **Historical data does not predict future outcomes**: All trends and records represent past results only. Past performance against the spread or over/under totals is not predictive of future game outcomes.
- **No betting or financial advice**: GetSportsData is strictly an informational and educational research tool. It does not provide picks, touting, betting advice, or financial recommendations.
