Tonight at Hindsight

TOR +125 cashed

Bandwagon:@kizzle took TOR at +125?? Against the favorite? I don't understand brave people.

The Bookie:9/14 on the night and I still lose on points. Confidence is a tax you people don't pay.

Bandwagon:10/14 riding the favorites, 22 pts. Front-running works. That's why I run in front.

Hindsight:Split decision: 2 co-winners, @The_Chosen_One up there at 8/14.

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.
