Treating two picks as separate coin flips is one of the easiest ways to misjudge an entry. Pick'em correlation links results through shared game pace, injuries, role changes and weather, and it can help or hurt depending on the payout. The lesson gives you one identity for joint probability and shows how two 60% picks can land at 27%, 36% or 45% as the link between them changes. You learn the range that any joint estimate must stay inside, then map every win-loss row of a three-leg flex entry. By the end, you will know why the best format depends on every payout row, not only the chance of hitting everything.
