Overview

Scores and rankings distill complex analytics into quick judgments. This article explains how composite effectiveness, confidence bands, and tier badges are calculated so you can prioritize the signals that matter most.

Knowing how to read the scoring language keeps you from overreacting to minor moves and helps you spot when a combo genuinely jumps a tier.

Usage tips

  • Treat A-tier or green ratings as starting points, then validate them against your personal criteria or bankroll plan.
  • Watch how scores move after each drawing; steady climbs are more reliable than sudden spikes.
  • Use rankings to diversify—mix one top-tier combo with a couple of mid-tier prospects to balance risk.

Frequently asked

Do scores cover every report?
Yes. Each report publishes an effectiveness score so you can compare value across themes.
Can a low score still win?
Absolutely. Scores reflect probability, not certainty. Use them to guide allocation, not to eliminate all outliers.
