Tonight at Hindsight

An underdog paid out tonight

The Bookie: “I had the other side at DET +135. @NATURAL_D took it anyway. I hate this job.”

Negative Nancy: “Best score in the building: 8/15. Every one of you disappointed me slightly more than the games did.”

Hindsight: “Top of the board: @The_Creator, 8/15 for 15 pts with The Mathematician.”

The Bookie: “The book went 4/15 for -18 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.
