If makes a difference if the game ends up at 52 and Hawkeye counts it as a push instead of a loss. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all Hawkeye does, and he's won me money in the past. But I use winning percentage to determine how much of my bankroll I put on a game. I'll put much more on someone's picks if they are hitting 60% vs. 55% so it's important for me to know what the true record is at the time picks are made. I want to know if Hawkeye's record really is as good as advertised or if it's inflated by edited lines, adjusting the number of units on a game after the game has kicked off, etc. People have said in the past that the only real way to determine if a record is accurate is to track it yourself so that's what I'm trying to do.
