How verification works
A track record is only worth something if it can't be faked. Here's exactly how Hound makes that guarantee.
1 · Picks are generated from rules
Your model's rules run against upcoming games. When the rules match, a pick is created with the live odds at that moment.
2 · Locked before game start
Each pick is timestamped and frozen at the scheduled start time. A database trigger rejects any pick attempted after a game begins — there's no way to backdate or slip one in late.
3 · Immutable forever
Once created, a pick's wager terms can never change. Not by you, not by us — the only field that ever updates is the graded result. There is no edit or delete path for a locked pick.
4 · Graded from official scores
After each game finishes, we pull the final score and grade every pick automatically: win, loss, or push, with units settled at the odds recorded at pick time.
5 · Stats computed, never typed
W-L, win %, units +/-, and ROI are computed only from locked, graded picks. They are derived, never editable — so a track record can't be cherry-picked.
