PASS (no official bet)
A PASS records that V8 evaluated an event and issued no official recommendation on it.
In plain English
It is a decision, not an absence of one, and it is published with a timestamp and a reason drawn from a public vocabulary. Abstaining when the publication standard is not met is the intended behaviour rather than a failure to find something.
Example
An evaluated game appears in the public record as evaluated with no official bet, with the reason stated.
Why it matters
A service that only shows you its bets is showing you a filtered record. Publishing the passes is what makes the rest of the record checkable.
How V8 uses this term
A blank pick card is not a blank model run. V8 publishes what it evaluated and declined, and does not manufacture recommendations to fill a page.
