What gets published here, where it comes from, and what is not done with it.

The data comes from its source and passes through no newsroom

Worth stating plainly, because it is what defines the site: no news is written here. What gets published is data — scores, calendars, standings, races and prices — arriving from identified sources and shown exactly as received. There is no reporting, no analysis, no opinion and no tips.

That is why every section carries the name of the source its figures come from in plain sight, and the site footer repeats it. If something does not add up, that source is where to go.

What is done with it, and what is not

Three things are done with the data: fetch it, order it and present it. Group matches by competition, put a price history into a series, sort a table by points. Nothing else.

Figures are not rounded, gaps are not filled with estimates, and data from two different sources is never mixed in the same table. If a source does not give a figure, it does not appear here: a gap is more honest than a number put there to cover it.

What is checked before storing

Every batch that arrives goes through deterministic checks — of program, not of judgement: that figures are figures, that dates fall in the expected range, that a match does not come in twice, and that a sharp price move comes from the source and not from a misread. Anything failing those checks is not stored, and the last batch that passed is kept.

Greyhound racing goes through a filter of its own before publishing: trials, betting odds and anything that is bookmaker sponsorship are discarded.

Where an AI model is involved, and where it is not

In the data, nowhere. No score, calendar, standing, race or price on this site passes through a language model: they go from the source to the database and from the database to the screen.

The one exception is the news checker, and it is labelled on the page itself, next to the text concerned: the verdict, the source counts and each domain’s score are computed by a program, and a model writes only the prose summary from that already-closed table. If summary and table disagree, the table wins.

Advertising

The site is funded by advertising, and advertising is labelled and kept separate from the data. There are no advertorials, no paid links inside a table and no betting tips: nobody pays to appear in a scoreboard, to change the order of a table, or for a competition’s place on the front page.

Errors and corrections

If you see a figure that does not add up, a match in the wrong place or a mistaken attribution, write to us through the contact form. It gets checked against the source: if the fault is ours, it is corrected; if it is the source’s, the figure is withdrawn until they fix it.
