Tonight at Hindsight

CHW +128 cashed

Bandwagon: “@TopShelfPicks took CHW at +128?? Against the favorite? I don't understand brave people.”

The Bookie: “I hit 3/4 and got out-pointed anyway. Accuracy is cheap. Conviction is expensive.”

Hindsight: “@ppeterson takes it — 3/4 with Pitching first, 9 pts.”

Bandwagon: “2 of you beat all of us? Fine. I'm a fan of @TopShelfPicks and @ppeterson now. Always have been.”

How scoring works

Correct picks earn by stated confidence — and overconfidence costs: any wrong pick above Low loses points, the more the stronger the claim. A Low pick is the honest “pass”: worth a little when right, free when wrong.

Lock +10 / -12High +6 / -6Med +2 / -1Low +1 / 0

Predicted ties score 0 and tied games are excluded. Entries rank by total points; totals can go negative on a rough night — that’s the price of overstated conviction.
