Sounds like they underperformed as one of the three major curcuits ( with Kentucky and New York obviously being the other two ).

numbers don't lie but you can lie with numbers.

you new yorkers just make up your own tales to tell don't ya.

the article says 38%, that would be a 5% better than expected
ITM percent if you only count three circuits. how convenient that you discount Illinois, Texas, and Florida.

that makes six circuits, and thus presses the Percntage to 38% vs. 16.66 which is 1/6.
