Why does a capper record say Tracking instead of Verified on BSD?
Tracking means the record has not met the published badge requirements. Under 25 settled picks, BSD shows Tracking. Reaching 25 is only the minimum: the all-time record must also be complete and every counted settled pick must be certified from the available evidence. The label describes record rules, not a capper's identity or future results.
For Bettors reading a capper's BSD record and checking what its status means · Updated
Start with the number of settled picks
BSD's published rules set a minimum of 25 settled picks for a badge. Until a capper's record reaches that threshold, the page says Tracking and does not provide a verified-record bio line. Open or unsettled picks do not count toward the settled minimum.
This threshold is a starting gate, not a score for pick quality. It says how many settled picks the record needs before the other verification checks can qualify it.
The record also needs complete evidence
A badge requires the record evidence to be complete and every counted settled pick to be certified. One missing historic price or deletion record can keep the record from meeting that standard even when it has enough settled picks. The threshold alone cannot repair missing evidence.
The record is based on picks posted before their scheduled event starts and results supplied through BSD's results feed. A self-reported result in a personal betting-history entry does not certify a capper pick.
Read the label as a record status
Verified on BSD means the record satisfies BSD's published pick-record rules. It is a statement about how the record was posted, preserved and certified under those rules. It is not an identity check, a prediction or a promise that future picks will win.
When a record still says Tracking, use the rule list to see the requirements; do not assume the capper has failed a pick or that the next settled pick will automatically change the badge. The remaining evidence checks still apply.
What to look at before relying on a label
Check how many picks are settled, whether the all-time record is complete and whether all counted picks have certified evidence. Then review the rules for posting time, captured price and BSD settlement. If a required piece is unavailable, the record should remain unverified until that evidence is available.
This lets you distinguish a record that is still accumulating settled picks from one whose history has an evidence gap. Neither status tells you what a future wager will do.
- Count settled picks, not open ones.
- Check record completeness as well as the 25-pick minimum.
- Remember every counted settled pick needs certification.
- Read the posting, price and settlement rules attached to the record.
Illustrative example: the minimum is necessary but not sufficient
Imagine a fictional capper whose record has 24 settled picks. The published rules keep the status at Tracking. After another pick settles, the record still needs complete evidence and certification for every counted pick before it can qualify for a badge. No real capper, pick or result is represented, and reaching the threshold does not forecast performance.
Related questions
Does reaching 25 settled picks automatically earn Verified on BSD?
No. The record must also be complete, and every settled pick counted in it must be certified.
Does Tracking mean the capper's identity is unverified?
Tracking describes the pick-record threshold and evidence status. The published badge rules define a record certification; do not read it as an identity check.
