Start with the price
A team can be likely to win and still have an unattractive price. SharpDeck keeps model probability, market consensus and the accepted bookmaker price distinguishable. A displayed price can also be stale.
The evidence must match the opportunity
A recommendation requires the relevant model release, competition, market and phase to be supported. Fresh inputs and compatible bookmaker coverage must pass their requirements too. Approval for one sport or phase does not transfer to another.
Only a qualifying decision becomes a recorded pick
Workers evaluate observations independently of browser visits. A qualifying BET selection is committed with its original time, price and references. A WATCH, PASS or experimental analysis is not an Our Picks entry.
A lock preserves history, not a price forever
An accepted entry never changes when a later quote arrives. Expiration ends its actionability while preserving the record. There is no promise of a pick in every game or the best price that might appear later.
