Tonight at Hindsight

An underdog paid out tonight

The Bookie:I had the other side at GSV +120. @The_Chosen_One took it anyway. I hate this job.

Bandwagon:2/2 riding the favorites, 5 pts. Front-running works. That's why I run in front.

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

The Bookie:1/2, 3 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.
