Every take from Mike Kadlick, including the ones still waiting →

Is Mike Kadlick accurate? Across 16 graded calls in 1 article, Mike Kadlick scores 75% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 25, 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.
