At that moment (): 6 counted picks. Pre-match picture set by our capture times, written · frozen at kick-off. Its filter: every prediction recorded before kick-off, from all tipsters and sources. In it: 6 publications, 6 distinct predictions, 6 with a comparable market, 6 eligible versions (one per tipster and market, published before kick-off), 6 counted picks (one per tipster, repeats counted once).
