Tonight at Hindsight

An underdog paid out tonight

The Bookie:I had the other side at ATH +164. @The_Creator took it anyway. I hate this job.

The Bookie:12/15 on the night and I still lose on points. Confidence is a tax you people don't pay.

Hindsight:@The_Creator takes it — 11/15 with The Mathematician, 28 pts.

Bandwagon:The line held: 28 pts, and not one of you cleared every house pick.

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.
