The math
Move the amount you would have staked and see where it lands instead.
A projection, not a promise. Assumes $250 invested monthly at a 10% average annual return, compounded monthly. Markets vary and can lose money. This is an illustration, not financial advice.
Same formula the app runs on your own number: a fixed monthly amount, compounded monthly, whole dollars.

In the app
Connect an account and Amblee adds up what left for the sportsbooks last month, by name. One total, from the transactions themselves, not from memory.
Attribution is deliberately conservative. Charges routed through a payment processor carry the processor’s name and are not counted, so the figure is a floor, not an estimate.
Bank access is read-only through Plaid. Amblee can see that money moved. It can never move it.
Amblee holds the betting apps shut until a deposit into your own account has cleared this month. Withdraw it and the block returns. On the 1st, everything re-arms.
A projection, not a promise. Assumes a 10% average annual return, compounded monthly. Markets do not move in a straight line.
