The running record
Every figure below is cumulative — computed over all resolved calls up to and including each card, never one card on its own. A cumulative rate settles as the denominator grows: read where a line sits alongside its denominator. Winner covers every resolved call; method, round and underdog each have a different and much smaller base, printed beside each one.
Hit Miss
24 of 36 — 67% now, from 67% at their first scored card.
-
Method
60% 3 of 5 correct winners that named a method
-
Round
1 of 1 correct winner that named a round — too few to chart a trend.
-
Underdog
2 of 2 priced underdog calls — too few to chart a trend.
The opening point is drawn dashed and hollow: below 5 scored calls this rate is not yet a reliable figure.
