Tonight at Hindsight

The Bookie won games and lost the night

The Bookie: “3/4 on the night and I still lose on points. Confidence is a tax you people don't pay.”

Hindsight: “@The_Chosen_One takes it — 3/4 with Standings + Shot Volume (NHL), 12 pts.”

Hindsight: “@The_Chosen_One beat every house pick tonight — the whole cast, out-scored.”

The Professor: “Best of the cast tonight: 3/4, 9 pts.”

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.

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.
