What changed, and why

Corrections to source attribution, data, calculations and published conclusions.

Forecast Record has published 1,438 changes to public records on 35 days, the latest on 7 November 2026. Each line shows the field, the old and the new value and why it changed; a confirmed factual error is always corrected, whether or not the name behind it was removed.

Figures as of · source: our own corrections log

What a correction is

When something we published turns out to be wrong (who made a prediction, a date, a price, a result, a calculation or a conclusion), we correct it and keep the earlier value here with the reason. A confirmed factual error is always corrected, whether or not a name was withdrawn. New matches and newly read sources are not corrections: they are listed on each profile under “Changes to this record”. Picks added when we read a publication again are listed here, with the correction that added them.

Changes to headline numbers: before and after

When a correction or method change moves a headline number, the earlier figure stays here. New results and extended coverage are listed on each profile under “Changes to this record”. Of 402 changes to headline numbers, 114 are in this section and the other 288 are listed below by reason; all of them are in the JSON of this page.

Method changed · 12 October 2026 · 56 records

Reason for the correction: Method 2.2 (11 October 2026): the live market price of a pick is the market price at the moment the pick was first recorded, before kick-off.

Method changed · 9 October 2026 · 53 records

Reason for the correction: The headline rule changed on 9 October 2026: the headline is the live record at our recorded market price; without one, reconstructed at archived prices (~8–15 h before kick-off) on picks archived before kick-off only. Picks first found after the match no longer enter the headline number.

How Forecast Record Checks Predictions, Prices and ResultsPicks set aside on 16 October 2026 because the recorded price was not the price written in the quote (for example 17/2 recorded as 8.50 instead of 9.50, +135 as 1.74 instead of 2.35) kept showing the wrong price.Each price was re-read from its quote: the record now carries the price the quote gives, and the earlier reading stays in the record history. Records: 40.

Bankroll and cumulative result

1 correction · 28 September 2026 · found in our own checks
WhenRecordWasNow
Reason for the correction: The settled pick at an independent odds snapshot was settled at a stake of 10 points although 100 points had been placed (a defect in how the record kept its stake), and the cumulative profit added the results of two different series (the author’s stated price and the independent odds snapshot). The settlement was re-issued at the stake actually placed, and each series now shows only its own numbers.

1 correction · 28 September 2026 · found in our own checks

Reason for the correction: A profile showed, for example, “Recognised 47 → Admitted 210”: the second number counted signals of every series, several per prediction, not predictions. Counts are now taken from one set, the author’s statements, and outcome figures such as the share of picks that won count each prediction once.
