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
1 of 4 — too few scored calls to chart a trend.
-
Method
1 of 1 correct winner that named a method — too few to chart a trend.
Round — No round callsUnderdog — No underdog calls with a known pre-fight price
