Archived before kick-off · 3 settled archived picks · won 1 of 3

Restored from a copy saved by an independent web archive before kick-off.

3 predictions; 3 checked against the final score.

3 settled selections across 2 matches, 9 April – 9 May 2026.

Reconstructed at archived prices: −101 points.

Eligible prices were available for 3 of the 3 selections checked against the result.

Eligible price: a market price that meets the price rule of its part of the record; the return is calculated on picks with one. Definition.

Prices are the last pre-match price in archive (~8–15 h before kick-off), bookmaker margin included.

Outcome accuracy vs implied by prices

Won 1 of 3 decided picks; the prices of the same picks implied 46.3%.

By market: Match result 1 of 1 (prices implied 50.3%); Over/under goals 0 of 1 (prices implied 57.1%); Win to nil 0 of 1 (prices implied 31.4%).

The implied share is the average of 1 ÷ price; it includes the bookmaker margin, so it is slightly above a fair chance. Markets with low prices are won more often, so a share of picks won says little on its own.

Source-reported history · 26 settled source-reported picks · +9.1%

The time and the pick are known only from the source’s own history; it is the basis of the record check and never part of the evidenced total.

The implied share is the average of 1 ÷ price; it includes the bookmaker margin, so it is slightly above a fair chance. Markets with low prices are won more often, so a share of picks won says little on its own.

An author-quoted price is the price the article offered; the headline return uses the market price in the last column.

Here a pick counts as settled when it has a result at any recorded price; the numbers at the top use only the price rule of their own part of the record.

How this return was calculated

Every settled pick in “Archived before kick-off, reconstructed at archived prices (~8–15 h before kick-off)” is a stake of 100 points at the last pre-match archive price, a reconstruction at archived prices on picks archived before kick-off only. The net result (−101 points) is the sum of the profit and loss of these 3 settled archived picks; the return is the net result divided by the total staked (300 points), void picks excluded. Definition of return on stakes · How a pick is settled.

Other prices of the same picks are compared row by row in each part of the record above; they are never added to this number.

Separate comparison window — last 90 days: the return appears from the first settled pick in this window (method v2.2). How comparison windows are counted
