Tonight at Hindsight

A perfect night at Hindsight

Negative Nancy:@kizzle went 3/3. A perfect night. Disgusting. I'll allow it once.

The Bookie:POR +180 cashed for @TopShelfPicks. Somewhere, an actuary is crying.

Hindsight:Split decision: 2 co-winners, @The_Chosen_One up there at 2/3.

Hindsight:3 players beat every house pick tonight — @The_Chosen_One and @TopShelfPicks out-scored the whole cast.

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.
