Editorial policy
The standards used to publish, correct and preserve football analysis on Predictions Sports Prime.
Principles and factual accuracy
Analyses should be based on identified sources, clear about uncertainty and distinguish fact, statistical observation and editorial judgement. Names, competition context, fixtures, team news and statistics are checked against relevant sources before they support a published claim.
Source verification
We prefer the most direct reliable source available, including official competition or club material for primary facts and established statistical providers for performance data. A source must be identifiable, relevant to the specific claim and linked through HTTPS; placeholder domains and decorative links are rejected.
Some older analyses were published before source links were recorded for every claim. For 16 of those older analyses the sources fully support the recorded rationale; for 36 they support only part of it, and they are marked as partial rather than being presented as fully verified. Newer analyses list their sources at the end of the page, and where a source could not be found the page says so. See our methodology.
Corrections and significant updates
Factual errors should be corrected promptly. A material change to the reasoning or selection is treated as a significant update and shown with a new "updated" date. Minor presentation fixes do not change the dates. The publication date records when the analysis first appeared; dates are never moved backwards or altered to make old content look new.
Preserving the record
Published pre-match analysis is kept separate from the later result. Settlement data and final scores may be added through the results process, but they must not rewrite the original prediction, odds or reasoning. Corrections should preserve an honest historical record rather than conceal the earlier publication.
Odds and responsible language
Odds are time-sensitive market observations, not guarantees. We do not promise outcomes, profit or risk-free betting, and we avoid language that presents historical performance as certainty. Readers should consider their own circumstances and use the responsible gambling resources.

Questions about accuracy or correction requests can be sent through the contact page.
Independence and conflicts
Selections are editorial judgements. Advertising does not justify rewriting a pick, hiding a loss or presenting an odds snapshot as currently available. Any material commercial relationship that could affect a page should be disclosed where relevant.
