Not enough settled picks yet to publish verified stats.

How verification works

Every pick is locked before the event starts, so a tipster can never edit a selection, odds or stake after the fact.

1. Hashed at lock time. When a pick is submitted we compute a SHA-256 hash over its canonical fields (selection, market, odds and stake) plus a secret server pepper. That hash is stored and never changed.
2. Server timestamp. The lock time is stamped by our server, not the tipster’s device, and picks on events that have already started are rejected — proving the call came in pre-kickoff.
3. Tamper-evident. Because the hash depends on the exact pick, any later change would produce a different hash and fail verification. The original hash and timestamp are written to an append-only audit log.
4. Graded transparently. After the event we record the closing odds and settle the pick, so the closing-line value (CLV) and results you see above are computed from locked, verifiable data.
