What this site does not have

No live odds feed

There is no odds provider attached to this site. That is why no page shows a current price, and why player props are not offered: both would require a feed we do not have. Any price anywhere on this site is historical and is stamped with the date it was taken. Saying so is more useful than showing a number that stopped being true months ago.

How historical pages are labelled

Every page that covered a specific date keeps its original URL and carries a banner naming that date, an archive breadcrumb, and wording corrected so that nothing reads as live. The analysis itself is left as published. Pages are not deleted or redirected to tidy the archive.

Records

A record is only published when it can be checked. Where a figure could not be traced to a source, it has been removed rather than repeated. See the AI contest page for the full account of what survived that test and what did not.
