Our Pick accuracy
At Gametime Genie, we make our picks based on statistics and trends. Over time these produce positive results. Not every pick we make wins, but over time, more wins than losses. We also strive to continually improve our picks. We grade ourselves on multiple aspects of every pick on a 4-point grading scale.
4-point scale:
A+ 4.3
A 4.0
A- 3.7
B+ 3.3
B 3.0
B- 2.7
C+ 2.3
C 2.0
C- 1.7
D+ 1.3
D 1.0
D- 0.7
F 0.0
We grade our accuracy on the following aspects:
- The road team score
- The home team score
- The spread
- The over Under
- The total game grade (average of the previous 4)
We constantly strive to improve by researching, collecting data and modifying our picks based on the data striving for perfection. We use our self grading system to drive our improvement.
Different sports have different scoring levels so our 4-point scale is applied differently to different sports.
