Tonight at Hindsight

An underdog paid out tonight

The Bookie: “TOR +180 cashed for @The_Creator. Somewhere, an actuary is crying.”

The Bookie: “I hit 10/14 and got out-pointed anyway. Accuracy is cheap. Conviction is expensive.”

Bandwagon: “11/14 riding the favorites, 60 pts. Front-running works. That's why I run in front.”

Hindsight: “@The_Chosen_One wins the night at 9/14 — Standings + Shot Volume (NHL) did the picking, 39 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.

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.
