The formula

How the ranked leaderboard works.

Rating is a running score. Every pick locks before the game starts, gets graded off the final score at the odds you took, and moves your Rating up or down. Tracked X handles are graded by the exact same formula as the people tailing them, so no one is ranked on a softer scale.

How Rating works

Everyone starts at Rating 1,000. Each settled pick moves it up or down based on the result, the odds you took, and how much of a track record you've built. Rating reads one input: settled picks. A hundred thousand followers moves it exactly zero.

Odds-weighted.Winning at longer odds moves your Rating more than winning on favorites. Bet size never changes it.
Small samples.Your first pick moves Rating about twice as hard as your fiftieth. Tiers stay provisional until 20 picks have settled.
Parlays.Multi-leg picks count for less. One longshot parlay hitting won't rocket your Rating, and a losing streak of them won't crater it.

A losing record is not automatically one worth betting against.

Taking the other side of a capper means buying that side at its own price, and that price carries vig too. So two records that look identical on a leaderboard can be very different underneath.

Some cappers lose because they were on the wrong side. Take the other side of those picks at the prices that were available and the math works out very differently.

Others lose because they paid too much for the right side. Take the other side of those and you lose too, just more slowly.

We show you the math. We don’t tell you which side to be on.

Pick integrity

Rankings are only as trustworthy as the picks behind them, so the rules are enforced by the system itself: once a pick's result is final, nothing about it can change again.

Picks lock before the event starts. No edits once posted.
Losing picks can't be deleted. Your record is the whole record.
Results are graded automatically from the real final score, never self-reported.
One call per pick. No switching sides after the game starts.
Rating cannot be purchased, and it ignores follower count, post volume, and engagement.

The rank tiers

Seven base tiers from Bronze to Grandmaster. Bronze through Master each have four Roman-numeral divisions, and you climb toward I: IV is the entry to a tier, I is the last step before the next one. Grandmaster starts at 2,500 Rating and has no division. Tier is provisional until 20 picks settle.
