How picks are graded
The record is the product, so the method has to be checkable. Nothing here is discretionary.
Every pick is timestamped before kickoff
A pick is written to the database with a posting time and a kickoff time. The system refuses to accept one whose kickoff has already passed — a pick posted after kickoff is not a pick, it is a result. Both times are shown on the record.
Nothing is edited afterwards
The selection, the line, the market and the posting time cannot be changed once written. That is enforced by the database itself, not by a policy — an attempt to alter any of them is rejected outright. Only the graded result and its note can be filled in later.
Grading is arithmetic, not judgement
The final score decides it, the same way every time:
- Spread. The margin is added to the line taken. Positive is a win, negative a loss, exactly zero is a push.
- Total. Both scores are added and compared to the number. Landing exactly on it is a push.
- Moneyline. The winner decides it. A tie is a push.
- Void. A postponed game or a pulled market. Voided picks are excluded from the record and any unlock is refunded.
The raw score is stored against the game, so any grade can be recomputed from the same inputs and will produce the same answer.
Pushes are not counted as wins or losses
A push returns the stake, so it belongs in neither column. The win rate is wins divided by wins plus losses. Counting pushes as losses would understate the record; counting them as wins would inflate it.
Losses are shown exactly like wins
Every pick ever posted appears on the record, in the same type, at the same size, in the same colour. There is no filter, no "premium record", and no separate page for the good weeks. If that were not true the record would be advertising rather than evidence.
What this is not
Analysis, not advice, and certainly not a promise. No result is guaranteed and no return is projected. Past results describe what already happened; they do not predict what happens next.
