What Verdict is
Verdict lets verified publishers record structured football picks that lock before kick-off and are scored automatically against an authorised results source. Members can follow publishers, read their permanent records, save records and discuss them. Verdict is not a bookmaker, does not accept stakes, does not execute or place bets, and does not display live bookmaker odds.
No guarantees
A record of past results is a factual history. It is not a prediction, not advice, and not a promise about future outcomes. A publisher with a strong record can lose; a probability is not a guarantee. Any decision you make about betting elsewhere is yours alone, and Verdict accepts no responsibility for it. If betting is affecting your wellbeing, relationships or finances, pause and seek qualified local support.
Accounts
You must be 18 or over. You need a verified email address, and before you can use the service you give a username, your date of birth and your country, and accept these terms. Those details must be true, and your username, date of birth and country cannot be changed afterwards. You must be legally permitted to use the service where you are. One person, one account. Keep your sign-in secure and tell us if you believe it has been compromised. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms.
Reported prices
A publisher may note the decimal price they saw when publishing. That figure is entered by the publisher, is not verified by Verdict, is not an offer from anyone, and may not be available anywhere. It exists only so a record can distinguish a favourite from a long shot.
Discussion
Comments are plain text, visible to signed-in members under the record they belong to. Do not post links, contact details, invitations to other services, guarantees, abuse, or anything unlawful. Comments never change a record. Moderators may hide comments, and every such decision is recorded; repeated misuse may close an account.
Platform-owned picks
Verdict publishes picks of its own under a profile that is always labelled platform-owned. They are never presented as an independent vendor or as a named person, they lock and are scored by exactly the same rules as every vendor’s, and they are kept out of the independent-vendor rankings. Every other publisher on Verdict is a vendor: an independent account that was verified before it could publish.
Integrity of the record
Once a record locks, its recommendation fields cannot be edited or deleted by anyone, including Verdict. Results come from the authorised data source. In exceptional cases an administrator may correct a result; the correction is recorded permanently and the earlier result is kept. Attempting to manipulate a record, a result, or the rankings is a breach of these terms.
Content and rights
Publishers keep the rights to their analysis and grant Verdict a licence to display it with their record. Fixture and result data is supplied under licence by a sports-data provider and may not be extracted or redistributed. Verdict’s own text, design and software remain Verdict’s.
