The Bookie: “I had the other side at NYY +130. @The_Chosen_One took it anyway. I hate this job.”
Bandwagon: “9/15 riding the favorites, 18 pts. Front-running works. That's why I run in front.”
Hindsight: “@The_Chosen_One wins the night at 7/15 — The Hydra did the picking, 11 pts.”
The Bookie: “The book went 7/15 for 13 pts. The house always has a number.”

How scoring works
This contest uses the original table: each correct pick earns points by how confidently the algorithm favored the winner, and wrong picks are free. A Lock-stamped pick scores as High.
A wrong pick — or any game the algorithm predicts as a tie — scores 0, and games that end tied are excluded. Entries rank by total points; a tie in points shares the rank.
