How football betting cards work

One record, several connected parts

A football betting card groups one or more selections into a single published record. Its format describes how many selections are combined. Each selection retains its fixture, market, chosen outcome, kickoff time, and original recorded odds.

The card report explains the overall reasoning. Match reports add selection-specific context, including supporting factors and risks. These reports support informed reading; they do not turn an uncertain outcome into a certainty.

Publication creates the reference point

When a card is published, the publication time, original odds, reports, and release rules become the historical reference. Later market movement does not rewrite those recorded values. Access to protected detail still depends on the applicable membership and release schedule.

Settlement closes the result loop

After official outcomes are confirmed, the server applies the approved settlement rules to the recorded selections and odds. An accepted settlement connects the final result to the original publication. If an accepted correction is needed, a new linked version records it without erasing the earlier history.
