Tonight at Hindsight

An underdog paid out tonight

Bandwagon:@TopShelfPicks took MIA at +143?? Against the favorite? I don't understand brave people.

Bandwagon:9/15 riding the favorites, 21 pts. Front-running works. That's why I run in front.

Hindsight:@The_Creator wins the night at 7/15 — The Mathematician did the picking, 18 pts.

The Bookie:8/15, 15 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.
