Lightning questions
Plain answers about how Lightning picks work here. Every pick, price and result on this page comes from the ledger, never from this section.
What does the model do on a Lightning game day?
It prices the markets it covers on that game, publishes only the ones that clear its threshold and holds the rest. The decision shows at the top of this page under "Today's Lightning game", and in full on that day's pairing page.
Why is there no Lightning pick some days?
Because passing is a decision, not a gap. A market the model prices and leaves alone is one it looked at and did not like at the number. The day's pairing page says which markets were priced, which cleared and which were held, so a quiet day is still a readable one.
How do I get the Lightning pick before the game starts?
When the free pick of the day is a Lightning game, register and it is yours by email and on your picks page. Every other published pick is for members. Nothing here shows a side or a price before the game is graded; after grading, every pick is public in the table above.
Where do the Lightning numbers on this page come from?
From the same ledger as the full track record: every published pick, graded from the final score and never edited afterwards. "In Lightning games" means home and away games alike, whichever side the pick was on, so the record here is the model's record, not the team's.
Do these pages cover every Lightning game?
Every game the model priced. A pairing page exists for each opponent Lightning have met this season, and it collects every meeting of that pairing in one place, so a page you bookmark early in the season is still the right page at the end of it.
