Tonight at Hindsight
The Bookie: “I had the other side at LAA +170. @TopShelfPicks took it anyway. I hate this job.”
The Bookie: “I hit 7/9 and got out-pointed anyway. Accuracy is cheap. Conviction is expensive.”
Hindsight: “2-way tie at the top — @The_Creator among them at 6/9, 13 pts.”
Negative Nancy: “2 humans beat the entire house. I blame the others. I always blame the others.”

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.
