Both formats reward sports knowledge — they just reward
it differently.
Choose Best6 (Any Order) when:
• You're confident about who will be in the top 6 but
less sure about the exact ranking.
• You're entering a contest with a volatile stat category
where small differences can flip rankings (e.g., golf birdies, NBA threes).
• You're newer to a sport and want to build confidence
without being penalized for order.
Choose Exacta6 (Exact Order) when:
• You have a clear read on both who and in what order
they'll finish.
• You want to earn more points per correct selection
(Exacta6 scoring is higher than Best6).
• You follow the sport closely and have conviction on the
distribution, not just the field.
Neither format is objectively easier. Both are available
for most contests so you can choose the format that matches how much confidence
you have.
