Tonight at Hindsight

ATL +136 cashed

Bandwagon:@The_Chosen_One took ATL at +136?? Against the favorite? I don't understand brave people.

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

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

The Bookie:The book went 1/4 for 3 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.

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.
