Gary Verdict
Gary Verdict: From World Cup Oracle to Permanent Football Site
The tournament ends. The tentacles stay. Why Octopus Gary is expanding into Champions League and Premier League nights.
The World Cup gave Octopus Gary a stage. What comes next is permanence.
Gary will keep scoring every pick the same way — exact score, winner, and Human Factor Rating™ nudges — but the calendar now includes Champions League midweeks and Premier League weekends.
The verdict: archive the tournament pages, do not delete them. Point new traffic at competition hubs. Keep the leaderboard honest by scoping points per competition while preserving all-time bragging rights.
Beat the octopus — every week, not every four years.
