Why this forecast is honest

Every morning at 07:30 UK we take a provisional snapshot of the day's predictions and publish a SHA-256 fingerprint of it to the Bitcoin blockchain via OpenTimestamps. Each prediction is then locked and anchored per fixture at lineup confirmation, around 75 minutes before kickoff. The proof lands publicly before the match kicks off, and anyone can independently verify, offline, that the numbers above weren't edited after results came in.

See /verify for the proof files, a 30-second verification walkthrough, and an explanation of why no prediction site that edits its history could fake this if they tried.
