The board on 2026-08-20 carried three WNBA numbers, all against the spread. The day closed 1 correct and 2 missed. That is a losing record, and it is recorded here without adjustment. One number held; two did not, and one of those missed by a wide margin. Each line below can be checked against the public, tamper-evident ledger.
The board
- Dallas Wings +4 vs the Indiana Fever, in Dallas. The pick was the Wings receiving 4. Final margin: Dallas by 6. This one landed. WIN. - Connecticut +13.5 at Las Vegas. The pick was Connecticut receiving 13.5. Final margin: Las Vegas by 23. The number did not hold. LOSS. - Los Angeles Sparks +10 vs the Atlanta Dream, in Los Angeles. The pick was the Sparks receiving 10. Final margin: Atlanta by 36. A wide miss. LOSS.
Two of three fell on the wrong side, and the two that fell were not close calls. We state that plainly.
What the model saw
On this slate the model published no percentage for any of the three picks; each carried a market number with no paired model probability on the ledger. Because there is no model-vs-market edge to cite here, we will not manufacture one after the fact. The reads were market-line calls: Dallas +4, Connecticut +13.5, and Los Angeles +10.
What the results tell us is limited but honest. The Dallas number was priced close to the outcome and finished on the right side by 2 points relative to the line. The Connecticut and Los Angeles numbers were both underdog cushions that the final margins ran past, by 9.5 and 26 points respectively. On a settled day, the distribution matters: a single correct call at a modest margin does not offset two misses, one of them by 26 points beyond the number.
We do not spin a 1-2 day. The record stands as it fell.
Every line above, the teams, the numbers, the finals, and the settle, is posted on the public ledger and can be verified independently. Nothing here is retrofitted; the day is closed and the entries are fixed.
