At Pick Pony, we're passionate about horse racing, analytics, and the thrill of making informed picks. But just as importantly, we believe in responsible gaming. Our mission is to provide data-driven insights and tools — not to encourage reckless wagering.

Addictions go beyond physical substances like drugs and alcohol. You can become addicted to gaming, TV, or your mobile device. However, these types of addictions cause you to waste time. Gambling addiction, on the other hand, results in financial loss, affecting your ability to support your household. It has a devastating impact on you and those who may depend on you.

Our Commitment

We want every visitor to enjoy horse racing as a form of entertainment, not financial stress. Pick Pony is committed to:

  • Promoting responsible gambling practices across all of our tools, content, and community spaces.
  • Educating players and bettors about maintaining control over their wagering habits.
  • Providing access to support resources for anyone who may be at risk of problem gambling.

The information and recommendations on this site are designed for recreational purposes and should not be interpreted as guaranteed predictions or financial advice. Gambling always carries risk, and outcomes can never be fully predicted.

Tips for Responsible Wagering

Keeping play enjoyable starts with self-awareness. Here are some helpful guidelines:

  • Set a budget before you bet — and stick to it.
  • Never chase losses. Accept them as part of the game and take breaks when needed.
  • Treat wagering as entertainment, not a way to make income or solve financial problems.
  • Know your limits. If gambling stops being fun, it's time to step back.
  • Avoid betting when distressed, tired, or under the influence.

Recognizing the Signs of Problem Gambling

You may be at risk of gambling harm if you:

  • Spend more time or money on betting than you can afford.
  • Feel anxious, guilty, or secretive about your gambling.
  • Borrow money or neglect responsibilities to wager.
  • Struggle to stop, even when you want to.

If these apply to you or someone you know, we encourage reaching out for help.
