Tonight at Hindsight

The Bookie won games and lost the night

The Bookie: “I hit 12/16 and got out-pointed anyway. Accuracy is cheap. Conviction is expensive.”

Hindsight: “@The_Chosen_One takes it — 10/16 with Gut shots only, 39 pts.”

Hindsight: “2 players beat every house pick tonight — @TopShelfPicks and @The_Chosen_One out-scored the whole cast.”

Bandwagon: “Top house score: 13/16 for 37 pts. Somebody has to keep standards up.”

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.
