Method

Each pick shows when it was posted, the odds taken and the result. Nothing can be edited after posting.

Where do the picks come from?

Picks come from a rules engine with fixed rules. No human judgement, no human tips.

When is a pick posted?

Each rule posts only inside a fixed window (so many hours before kickoff), shown on its card. The original windows were chosen on records before Oct 17, 2026; in-window results before that date count as backtest. Since Oct 27, 2026, every posting window sits within 3 hours of kickoff; picks posted earlier still count under the windows in force when they were posted. Oct 17, 2026 was a dry run: the expert-consensus rules were split by league that evening, and that day's picks are not part of the record. Live results start Oct 18, 2026.

Can a pick be edited after posting?

Every pick is locked before kickoff: the server writes the posting time, side and odds, and nothing is edited afterwards.

How are picks graded?

Graded on final scores. A spread or total that lands exactly on the line is a push and counts as neither win nor loss.

How is ROI calculated, and are there stake sizes?

ROI = profit ÷ total staked, with the same flat stake on every pick. We publish no amounts and no suggested stakes.

What are the divination controls?

Before every game we cast one Liu Yao (I Ching) hexagram, one Xiao Liu Ren reading and one three-card tarot spread, once per game and never recast. Each reading's side is recorded on the moneyline and against the spread and graded like the rules, to show what betting with no information looks like.
