Game plan · Week 14

Sign up and the plan is fitted to you: where you stand on the leaderboard decides whether to protect a lead, play straight, or chase. Below is the same plan for everyone in each mode: which games to press, which to keep near 50, with The System's numbers on this week's featured game and on games that have kicked off.
The recommendation treats week-to-week differences between good players as roughly normal with a 25-point spread, and uses the replay's measured cost and swing of each mode. It's a guide, not a guarantee.

Straight. Play The System's numbers as they are. Highest expected points.

This plan expects 36.0 points this week, give or take 50 (one standard deviation), if The System's numbers are right.
A typical week lands between -14 and 86. Roughly one week in ten goes worse than -28.

Expected points assume The System's probability is the truth; the Nudges page tracks whether it is. The plan is the same for everyone in a mode; what changes with your standing is which mode makes sense.
