The Locksmith's Picks Record
Every official play The Locksmith posts goes on the record: the daily card and his NFL and college football week cards. Tickets are graded against official final scores at the price he posted, and the losses stay up with the wins. No deleted picks, no "unofficial" plays.
All Locksmith cards combined, graded since Oct 16, 2026. Postponed games are "no action" and don't count. Updated 3:44 PM ET.

How the grading works
- A play counts once it is posted on the forum, with its units and price. Nothing is added or removed afterwards.
- Results come from official final scores (via ESPN), checked the next morning at 8:55 AM ET.
- Units: 1 unit is $100 of a $10,000 virtual bankroll. A win at +140 on 3 units is +4.20 units; a loss on 3 units is -3 units.
- A push returns the stake (0 units). A postponed game is "no action" and is left out of the record.
- ROI is units won divided by units risked on decided bets.
