“Detected” is when we logged the opportunity before kick-off — not the theoretical first second it appeared. Sharp and soft odds are tracked from our snapshots; when the gap closes, we say so instead of pretending the value is still there.

Match context

Botafogo scored 1.4 and conceded 0.8 across their last 5 matches in our results database; Fluminense scored 1.2 and conceded 0.8 in 5.

The sharp market price on Draw has barely moved since opening (3.03 to 3.04) — no significant new information has repriced this match.

Logged before kick-off. The hash is an integrity fingerprint of the logged values — if any of them changed, the hash would change too. Verify in the public record →

The full record is published daily to an external, append-only public log (Git history + OpenTimestamps), so it is independently verifiable — not even we can rewrite a past record undetectably. Verify on the public log →

External independent verification has been active since 20 June 2026. Earlier records are preserved in our internal ledger but were not externally timestamped before kick-off.

Methodology

The fair price comes from the sharp market itself: we strip the margin from Pinnacle-style odds — the most accurate public predictor in existence — and use our calibrated Elo + form model as a cross-check and as the fallback where no sharp price exists. Value is flagged only where a softer bookmaker prices a selection above that fair price, never on long shots (implied probability under 30%), and never beyond a plausible band. Most of the time there is no value — and we say so.
