Pick or Skip: The Boot

The Boot is taken in 100.0% of its 132 recorded offers, but with 132 runs picking it and 0 passing, neither side has enough decided runs for a win rate yet.

Taken 132 times out of 132 offers.

A win rate is only shown once that side clears the sample floor. Below it you get the run counts and nothing else — a 0% here would be a reporting artefact, not a result.

Pick rate when offered counts offers, not runs: out of every time the game put this in front of a player, how often it was taken. It is not the same number as the share of runs that end up containing it.

Pick lift is the sample-adjusted gap between runs that took the option and runs that passed on it. It is the fair way to rank choices, because raw win rates put the smallest samples on top.
