Why this forecast is honest

Every morning at 07:30 UK we snapshot the day's predictions and publish a SHA-256 fingerprint of that snapshot to the Bitcoin blockchain via OpenTimestamps. The proof lands publicly before any of that day's matches kick 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 tipster site that edits its history could fake this if they tried.
