How Overlay Locks Every Pick Before Kickoff

1 min read · 7/17/2026

Why this matters

Screenshots lie. A tipster can post ten bets, delete the losers, and show you a "90% strike rate." Overlay makes that impossible.

What happens when a tip is posted

  1. Post — the tipster submits a selection and the odds they took.
  2. Lock — we hash the pick and timestamp it before kickoff. The hash is immutable; the wager can never be edited.
  3. Settle — after the event, the result is graded automatically from the official outcome.
  4. Rank — verified yield and closing line value move the tipster up the board.

The takeaway

Every number you see on a tipster's profile is backed by a locked, timestamped record. No edits. No deleted losers. That's the whole point.
