How to read the picks

Confidence is the model’s own score for a pick, out of 100. It is not a probability, but picks with higher confidence have won more often. The score details show the model’s probability instead — they are not picks.

Why some of these picks carry a lower confidence: the odds drifted 5% since they opened; the odds drifted 9% since they opened; no record yet for this market in the model’s replay; the odds drifted 6% since they opened.
