As I mentioned in a past post, the correct result is "Under" about 59% of the time. It had started to even out after I last wrote that, but the long string of unders seen above got it back to that percentage. My goal is to get the results at about 50/50, but it's tough these days not to lean optimistic.

Though the results lean under, the actual correlation between win % and over/under % is pretty weak. The top players have a pretty wide variety of Over/Under % choices, and Chris L is in second place despite being one of the most optimistic. Not sure if any of this is actual "analysis," I just found it kind of interesting.

Some time in the future I will add in "win % when picking over" and "win % when picking under."

Points = Wins + 0.1 * Games.

The "half-wins" are for entries to sports games after the start of the event.
