the rules
how a pick becomes a record
capture
a pick is captured when the post appears. the text or image is the receipt; nothing is typed in by hand.
extraction
the bet is read out of the post: side, line, price, when the post shows it. the software never does arithmetic on the capper's behalf — a price that is not in the post is not on the record.
matching
the pick is matched to the event it names; a pick that names no event prophit can find stays unmatched and ungraded.
grading
graded against the final score: won, lost, push. a player who did not play is a void, not a loss. a market the final score cannot settle — a live line cut from the clock, a first-ten-minutes window — is ungradeable and never counted.
price
the record uses the price the capper posted, and the closing line when a book's closing price for that exact market exists.
units
every pick is one unit, so a capper's staking claims never enter the record.
retraction
a capper deleting or editing a post retracts the pick only while it is pregame and ungraded. after the event starts or the pick grades, the record stands.
the public record
the public page shows that the record exists, how long it has been tracked, how often the capper posts and which sports they bet. it hides the plays, outcomes, win rate, units and closing lines. record sizes are bands rather than exact counts, so the page proves the record is substantial without giving away the full record.
