1. Posted before the outcome, with the ticket
Every play is published with the actual bet slip, timestamped, before the outcome is known: pre-game plays before kickoff, and live plays the moment the bet is placed, mid-game. The slip shows the line, the American odds, and the stake. If it was not posted and timestamped before the result, it does not exist as far as the record is concerned. There are no after-the-fact "we liked that one too" claims anywhere on this site.
2. Graded against the official final score
When the game ends, the play is graded against the official final score, using exactly the line and price on the posted ticket. A win is a win, a loss is a loss, and both are published the same way, in the same place. Losing days appear on the records page right next to the winning ones.
3. Pushes and voids are no action
A push (the result lands exactly on the number) and a voided bet (a postponed game, or a book voiding under its own rules) are recorded as no action: stake returned, no effect on the record in either direction.
4. Units, not stories
Plays are sized in units on the ticket itself, and the public record's dollar figures use a $100-per-unit basis. That means the profit and loss you see on the records page reflects the actual posted stakes, not a retelling.
5. Programs stay separate
Official Plays (VIP and Whale), Bonus Plays (high-variance props and long shots, by design), and Owner Selections are separate programs with separate records. We never blend them into one number to make anything look better than it is.
6. The same data we use ourselves
The records page runs on the same grading data our member dashboards use. There is one set of numbers. If you ever find a discrepancy, tell us, and we will show our work.
Frequently asked questions
How are Wise Guy Team picks graded?
Against the official final score of the game, win or loss, using the line and odds on the posted ticket. Every graded result lands on the public records page. Nothing is regraded, reworded, or quietly removed after the fact.
Are picks posted before the games start?
Pre-game plays are posted before kickoff, and live in-game plays are posted the moment the bet is placed, always with the actual timestamped bet slip showing the line, the odds, and the stake. Nothing is added to the record after the result is known, period.
What happens to a push or a voided bet?
A push (the game lands exactly on the line) and a voided bet (for example a postponed game or a listed player who does not play, under the sportsbook's own rules) count as no action: no win, no loss, stake returned. They never pad the record in either direction.
How are units counted?
One unit is the standard stake, and the public record's dollar figures are based on $100 per unit. Bigger-conviction plays are sized in units on the ticket itself, so the record reflects the actual stakes, not an after-the-fact story.
Are the programs graded separately?
Yes. Official Plays (VIP and Whale), Bonus Plays (high-variance props and long shots, by design), and Owner Selections are separate programs with separate records. They are never blended to dress up a number.
Can I check the record myself?
Yes. The full career record, every recent result, and graded ticket photos are on the records page, updated as plays grade. What you see there is the same data our own dashboards run on.
