Tonight at Hindsight

An underdog paid out tonight

The Bookie: “SEA +120 cashed for @The_Chosen_One. Somewhere, an actuary is crying.”

Negative Nancy: “1/4, 4 pts, and I expected nothing from any team involved. That's the secret.”

Hindsight: “2-way tie at the top — @TopShelfPicks among them at 2/4, 2 pts.”

The Bookie: “2/4, 1 pts. Some nights you write the line, some nights the line writes you.”

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.
