  • Do they post picks before the game (not only winners after)?

    Open / LIVE picks reduce reverse-screenshot scams.

  • Can you see losses and voids, not just green tickets?

    A real record is warts-and-all.

  • Is the sample large enough (dozens+ graded picks, not a 5-0 heater)?

    Short streaks are noise.

  • Are odds and stake/units shown for each pick?

    Win rate alone hides juice and steam.

  • Can settled picks be edited or deleted after the fact?

    If yes, treat the board like a spreadsheet.

  • Do they avoid “guaranteed” / “never lose” sales language?

    Guarantees are a red flag in sports betting.

  • Is there a public link you can audit pick-by-pick?

    Private DMs and screenshots are hard to verify.

  • Do they claim sportsbook ticket proof they can’t show?

    Score-matching ≠ ticket placement. Honesty matters.

This is a buyer education tool — not financial advice and not a guarantee. Past results never ensure future profit. Prefer public, pick-by-pick records where settled results stay locked. 18+ only.
