Parlay Wizard: Picks Delivered

PARLAY WIZARD 4.0.0 Release notes Version 4 is a major quality, reliability, and design update. NEW DESIGN AND EASIER NAVIGATION - Refreshed Parlay Wizard with a consistent visual system, branding, typography, spacing, cards, and controls. - Redesigned the Home, Results, History, Profile, Game Hub, parlay details, welcome tour, and share-card experiences. - Improved tab ordering, swipe behavior, loading states, empty states, and subscription navigation. - Improved accessibility labels, touch targets, reduced-motion behavior, large-text support, and web semantics. - Simplified Results around Recent Wizard Wins, Best Hits, and Recently Settled. - Best Hits now lead with the leg count and clearly separate odds, payout, settlement date, and tier. SMARTER PICKS AND STRONGER TIER IDENTITY - Rolled out the corrected edge-analysis model with market-vig removal, normalized probability calibration, bounded model adjustments, and conservative Kelly sizing. - Added shadow comparisons so model changes can be evaluated against the prior formula before rollout decisions. - Strengthened tier-specific leg counts, odds bands, market rules, diversity, and value requirements. - Made the standard and ELITE tiers more distinct, including a dedicated prop-backed ELITE Lock and a two-plus-money ELITE Value product. - Added generation evidence and model provenance so generated and skipped tiers can be audited. - Preserved quality thresholds rather than silently filling missing tiers with weaker or invalid parlays. MORE RELIABLE DAILY GENERATION - Added bounded retries for temporary Odds API network and server failures. - Prevented per-sport retrieval failures from being mistaken for an empty slate. - Rejected stale or incomplete source data before publication. - Required a complete qualified slate before replacing the current picks. - Made slate replacement atomic so partial database writes cannot publish a broken slate. - Strengthened generation-lock ownership for overlapping server instances. - Added matchup and exact-selection exposure controls to reduce repeated games and picks across a slate. - Ensured notifications are sent only after a complete slate is saved. TRUSTWORTHY RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE - Established a consistent persisted Results data contract. - Preserved the parlays that were actually published in historical reporting. - Kept archived slates in performance history instead of silently dropping them. - Preserved frozen settlement payouts rather than recalculating old results under newer rules. - Counted wins and losses even when an older ticket has incomplete payout data, while clearly reporting payout coverage instead of inventing a return. - Improved Ladder Play and sequential-settlement handling. - Kept policy-excluded or fallback tickets in recent history without promoting them as representative Best Hits. ACCOUNT, SUBSCRIPTION, AND PRIVACY IMPROVEMENTS - Strengthened paid-pick access checks across protected parlay and Vision data. - Improved sign-up verification, email-change safety, account linking, and authentication error handling. - Improved onboarding behavior for newly registered accounts. - Improved payment-failure and locked-pick navigation. - Strengthened subscription synchronization, webhook ordering, retries, and account-tier transitions. - Improved private endpoint boundaries and cross-account protections. NOTIFICATIONS, ANALYTICS, AND APP RELIABILITY - Improved notification and email destination handling. - Strengthened delivery claims and retry behavior for important lifecycle messages. - Expanded funnel, engagement, and retention analytics. - Improved live-game progress freshness and fallback handling. - Fixed startup and navigation regressions found during the audit. - Expanded automated release checks across builds, disposable database schemas, model math, generation, settlement, access control, billing, notifications, and browser fixtures.
