# Publishing a prediction

> The creation form field by field, the editing window before publication, automatic settlement and what your customers see.

## Two ways to create

* From odds on the Matches page, pre-filled form: see
  [Creating a prediction from a match](/en/tipsters/creer-un-pronostic-depuis-un-match).
* From the **Predictions** tab of your [tipster area](https://tipster4you.com/en/seller),
  "Create a prediction" button: a four-step form, from the match to the price.

## The form

| Recommended stake          | In units                                                                         |

| Private note               | Visible to you only                                                              |

## The window before publication

After confirming, the prediction is **pending** for two minutes. A countdown is shown.
During that time you can **edit** it (market, selection, access, price, stake, plan,
affiliate link, free copy), **cancel** it, or "Confirm and publish" right away.

## Timestamp and lock

At publication, the date and time are recorded. Once the match has started, the
prediction can no longer be edited or deleted. That is what makes your statistics
verifiable.

Pro+ tipsters can edit the odds of a published prediction before the match; the
original odds stay visible to buyers.

## Result and settlement

After the match, the result is set automatically from the score and the prediction gets
a status: won, lost, half-won, half-lost, refunded (cancelled match) or push. Your
statistics are recomputed right away. If a result looks wrong, email support with the
prediction link.

## What your customers see

Before buying: sport, match, time, market, odds, price, confidence. After buying, or on
a free prediction: the exact selection, the recommended stake, the bookmaker, the
analysis and the affiliate link. Your subscribers receive the full prediction on
Telegram, your followers a short message.

## Pay-per-win

A lost pay-per-win prediction is refunded automatically to the buyer and earns you
nothing. The number of pay-per-win predictions allowed depends on your plan: 2 per week
on the free plan, 3 per day on Pro, 15 per day on Pro+.
