The basics
Step 1
Choose from the available handicap / spread / run-line and total markets.
Step 2
#1 is your most confident pick, down to your weakest read.
Step 3
If your first miss is at rank 5, you survived 4 legs.
Step 4
Your results feed profiles, badges, fire streaks, and leaderboards.

Card builder
Straight-up winner picks are not part of the card builder.
Soccer cards use handicap and total markets — never the draw.
Soccer uses Handicap and Total Goals, graded on 90-minute regulation.
MLB uses the run line and totals (over / under).
You may choose one side and one total from the same game, but not both sides of the same market.
You cannot take both sides of the same market on one game or match.
Scoring
Correct picks before your first miss count. Your score is how many legs you survived.
Once you miss, the run is over — picks ranked after the miss never count, even if they would have won.
A push or voided game does not end your run; it is skipped and the card continues to your next pick.
Final results are determined by Handicap Hero using regulation-time scores unless a contest states otherwise.
