Saved pre-match snapshot
Saved pre-match snapshot, (frozen at kick-off). Its filter: every prediction recorded before kick-off, from all tipsters and sources. In it: 20 publications, 20 distinct predictions, 20 with a comparable market, 20 eligible versions (one per tipster and market, published before kick-off), 18 counted picks (one per tipster, repeats counted once). Records found or added later leave these numbers as saved.
