TIKATA / FIELD NOTES · Reviewed

Read the pick. Check the record.

A sports pick is easier to judge when its original terms, timing and limitations are visible. These guides explain what to inspect in a record and which conclusions the evidence cannot support.

Start with the evidence

Read a complete record before a highlight. Check an observation time before treating a price as current. Keep unavailable evidence visible instead of replacing it with a convenient number.

  • What was the selection before the game?
  • Which price was actually observed, and when?
  • What is missing from the record?
  • What conclusion does the evidence support?
