How it works

Posting a pick

Free, and no money is involved anywhere on the site. Open a game, tap a line, and it's posted. The dollar figures are for scoring only — nothing is deposited, staked or paid out.

It grades itself

When the game finishes, the final score settles your pick. Nobody marks their own homework, including us — the buttons to do that don't exist, and the database refuses the change.

Grading runs every hour. A pick on an evening game is usually settled before you next open the app.

A pick locks at kick-off

Change your mind before the game starts and you can delete it. Once it's under way you can't, and once it's graded it's permanent. Otherwise anyone could post ten picks, bin the losers, and call it a record.

Where the odds come from

Tap a price on a game page and it's the one a book was showing at that moment — that's what counts toward profit and the leaderboard. Type your own and the pick still settles as a win or a loss, but the money is yours alone unless you choose to show it, and it's marked self-reported when you do.

What can't be graded

A scoreline settles moneylines, spreads, totals, first-inning, first-five and first-half picks. It can't settle a player prop, a parlay or a future — there's nothing to check them against — so those stay open and don't count toward your record. Post them anyway; they just aren't ranked.

If something should have graded and didn't, it goes to a review queue and a human settles it. You'll see under review on the pick, with the reason.

The leaderboard

Win rate over the last 30 days, minimum five settled picks. Only picks tied to a real fixture count. It's the whole point of the site: a record you couldn't have faked.

Something wrong?

A pick graded incorrectly, a game missing, anything else — email hello@gwuap.co. If it's about a specific pick, send the link to it and it'll be much quicker to sort out.
