Each call is the DraftKings line with the margin removed, written down before kick-off. The record starts on the day the board went live — nothing before it was filled in afterwards.

Soccer picks by how confident they were. A pick at 70% should come in about seven times in ten; this is whether it does.

Preseason is left out, as from the headline record. A band with fewer than 20 graded picks is marked: its hit rate can swing a long way on a few games.

Every pick

Each one shows when it was locked and how it settled. Flat 10-unit stakes, at fair odds and at a typical sportsbook price, so you can see the difference the sportsbook's cut makes.

At fair odds, betting every pick would roughly break even over time, so any profit there is luck, not skill. The second line takes a typical sportsbook's 4.5% cut, which is closer to what a real bettor gets. These are units, not dollars. Nobody placed these bets.
