Why the release time moves every day
The pick is released when the fixture it sits on requires, so the hour changes from day to day. What does not change is the deadline it is published by.
The release follows the card, not the clock
Some days the selection we want is on an early kick-off, some days it is the late game. The pick has to go out with enough room for you to act on it and always before the ball is in the air, so the release moves with the fixture — not the fixture with the release.
The alternative is worse in both directions. A fixed publishing hour would mean either holding a pick back until the slot arrives, by which time the price has often gone, or forcing something out at that hour because the slot exists. Filling a slot is not a reason to publish a bet.
What is fixed
- The daily deadline. The main pick is published by 14:00 Pacific, every day. That is one instant for everybody, and the site converts it into your own clock rather than asking you to do the arithmetic.
- Before kick-off, always. A pick published after the match has started proves nothing and is worth nothing. See what committed before kick-off means.
- One main pick per day. The hour floats; the count does not.
Where you will see the time
Today's release time appears on the dashboard once it is decided. Until it is decided the dashboard says so, rather than naming an hour we might not keep — a countdown to a guess is a countdown to nothing. If you would rather not watch the page, connect Telegram or switch on release alerts and it will reach you where you are.
