Tonight at Hindsight

The Bookie won games and lost the night

The Bookie:I hit 10/15 and got out-pointed anyway. Accuracy is cheap. Conviction is expensive.

Hindsight:@The_Chosen_One takes it — 10/15 with Whale Hunter, 54 pts.

Bandwagon:3 of you beat all of us? Fine. I'm a fan of @The_Chosen_One and @TopShelfPicks now. Always have been.

The Bookie:Best of the cast tonight: 10/15, 34 pts.

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.

Lock +10 / -12High +6 / -6Med +2 / -1Low +1 / 0

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.
