Every take from Dan Pizzuta, including the ones still waiting →

Is Dan Pizzuta accurate? Across 50 graded calls in 8 articles, Dan Pizzuta scores 75.48% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 31.81, which means their calls were better than a naive guess on the same claims. That is a provisional record, fewer than ten graded articles, so the numbers are not yet meaningful and they are not ranked on the leaderboard.
