On-air predictions, tracked to the outcome

Hosts, analysts and callers make calls on air every day — rate cuts, reshuffles, title races. We extract the falsifiable ones from the broadcast transcript, wait for the horizon, and score them against public sources. Every call keeps its audio receipt.

The verdict· graded 01 Oct

Australia beat South Africa by 47 runs via Duckworth/Lewis/Stern in the third ODI at Potchefstroom on 2026-09-30.

The claim said South Africa would defeat Australia and complete a 3-0 sweep, but both passages say Australia won the dead-rubber third ODI. That means the predicted winner was wrong, so the sweep did not happen.

The verdict· graded 11 Sept

Manchester United beat Sabah FC 4-0 on 10 September 2026 in the UEFA Champions League match.

The prediction said Sabah FC would defeat Manchester United, but the research notes report the actual final score was Manchester United 4-0 Sabah. That outcome is the opposite of the claim, so the prediction was wrong.

The verdict· graded 10 Sept

Carlos Alcaraz was eliminated in the 2026 US Open quarterfinals and did not win the men’s singles title.

The claim required Alcaraz to win the title and successfully defend it. The research notes say Ben Shelton beat Alcaraz in the quarterfinals on September 9, 2026, ending his title defense before the final.

How this works: predictions are extracted by AI from machine-generated transcripts of live broadcasts (“as heard on air” — transcription errors are possible), and outcomes are resolved against public sources, linked on each card. Speakers are named only when the broadcast itself identifies them. This page records what was said and what happened. The reader poll is audience sentiment, not odds — no money is involved and there is nothing to wager on. Corrections: [email protected].
