Released wagers only
A play enters the record when it was posted with a market, line or price, sportsbook and unit size before the event. Silent model replays and private notes do not count.
Methodology
How we grade documented picks, units and ROI.
The public record is only as trustworthy as the rules behind it. This page states what counts as a released wager, how units and ROI are calculated, when futures settle and why losing seasons stay visible.
Core rules
Four standards every result must clear.
Unit definition
Flat one-unit sizing is the default unless a different stake was stated at release. Partial units are graded at the fraction published — not rounded after the fact.
ROI formula
ROI is net units won or lost divided by total units risked at the posted price. Win rate is reported separately for college basketball so price and hit rate stay distinguishable.
Futures timing
Futures grade when the market settles. Open positions are never booked as wins. Price and release timing remain part of the documentation for champion and MOP markets.
Transparency
What we show — and what we do not claim.
On the record
- Profitable and losing seasons on the same page
- Year-to-date marked clearly for open campaigns
- Soccer and CBB tables on the betting record
- Tournament results kept with the season package
Honest limits
- Results are self-reported by CC Analytics
- Historical ROI does not guarantee future performance
- Research boards are not the same as official picks
- Adults 21+ only; see the footer for help resources
Where grading meets the product
Boards, picks and the public ledger.
Soccer
Match odds, expected goals and player props live on the research board. Official soccer plays, when released, use these same grading rules and feed the soccer ROI table.
College basketball
Daily spreads and totals, plus March futures, grade under identical documentation standards. Six consecutive profitable NCAA Tournaments are part of that ledger — not a separate marketing claim.
Next step
Read the rules, then read the numbers.
