How often are soccer scores for finished games incorrect?

I'm using the API for computing scores in an online predictions game and the scoring is extremely complicated due to the mechanics of the game. An incorrect score would warrant a very complicated re-compute which I'm evaluating right now. So my question is: do we have a statistic of how often the results are correct? Only looking at finished games (including penalties if present).
Just want to make sure I account for this. If you tell me it's never happened, I will proceed in a different way than if it happens often.
Thanks in advance!

Livescore is every 2mins. The rest of the site works between 2mins and 4hrs behind depending on the size of the league. For accurate scores, always use livescore.
