Tonight at Hindsight

An underdog paid out tonight

Bandwagon:@kizzle took MIL at +162?? Against the favorite? I don't understand brave people.

Hindsight:@The_Creator takes it — 8/15 with The Mathematician, 18 pts.

Bandwagon:2 of you beat all of us? Fine. I'm a fan of @kizzle and @The_Creator now. Always have been.

The Bookie:6/15, 8 pts. Some nights you write the line, some nights the line writes you.

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.

High = 3 ptsMed = 2 ptsLow = 1 pt

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.
