Tonight at Hindsight

An underdog paid out tonight

The Bookie:I had the other side at ATH +147. @kizzle took it anyway. I hate this job.

Negative Nancy:9/15, 12 pts, and I expected nothing from any team involved. That's the secret.

Hindsight:@The_Chosen_One takes it — 5/15 with Whale Hunter, 3 pts.

The Bookie:The book went 5/15 for -8 pts. The house always has a number.

How scoring works

Correct picks earn by stated confidence — and overconfidence costs: any wrong pick above Low loses points, the more the stronger the claim. A Low pick is the honest “pass”: worth a little when right, free when wrong.

Predicted ties score 0 and tied games are excluded. Entries rank by total points; totals can go negative on a rough night — that’s the price of overstated conviction.
