Tonight at Hindsight

An underdog paid out tonight

Bandwagon: “@The_Creator took WPG at +164?? Against the favorite? I don't understand brave people.”

The Bookie: “2/3 on the night and I still lose on points. Confidence is a tax you people don't pay.”

Hindsight: “@The_Chosen_One takes it — 1/3 with Standings + Shot Volume (NHL), 5 pts.”

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

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.
