Clear terms.
A complete record.
Screen the actual slate
Match event, teams and start time to a separate verified schedule. Only FanDuel and DraftKings quotes are eligible. Ohio is our reference jurisdiction; OddsLink does not provide an Ohio-only quote filter.
Record the price, not a promise
Game picks screen moderate moneyline favorites quoted by both books, then record the better same-selection price. Props need an exact player/team match, a recent played-game sample and explicit active evidence. Book agreement and past hit rates do not establish a forecast or betting edge.
Keep the stakes small and explicit
Normal singles are 1u, the default two-game parlay is 0.25u, and regular-card stakes are capped at 6u/day. The weekly ladder rolls its own recorded return separately. Parlays use independent games at one book. Combined prices are calculated estimates; same-game parlays and boosts are excluded.
Check before release
Morning research creates a watchlist. Publication follows the actual games and requires fresh quote confirmation. Unverified player status, an expired price or missing evidence can produce a hold or no-play day.
Grade from separate verified results
Ordinary full-game NBA/NFL final scores include overtime. Normally completed nine-inning MLB games include extra innings. Exact spreads/totals push; tied NFL moneylines are voids. Postponements, shortened games and player-action/injury exceptions remain pending for sourced review. The record uses the published grading rules and verified results.
Keep the whole history
Every issued pick remains visible. Original prices are preserved; result corrections keep their prior versions, sources, time and reason. Instagram promotes selected wins, while the website retains losses, failed ladders and negative periods.
Hersh’s Picks publishes informational recommendations and tracks their performance using the recorded odds and unit stakes. AI helps write the daily column from the verified pick record.
