What a shame jodragon40 didn't copy me.

Ha ha good luck for the remainder of the round

 

[Ryan]

Didn't the Warriors come second last, last year? Without any big name signings, they've shown how soon a good coach can turn things around. And Sean Johnson > Ben Hunt at halfback.

The good news is that after the Dogs vaunted rebuild is in danger of collapsing before it's even started.
Two pieces of bad news:

1. Kyle Flanagan isn't even reserve grade standard. Surely someone will tell Flanno, "Sorry but no. We don't want him."
2. Unless Manly beat the Dogs, it looks like you know who will win tipping again.

Shonkies saving the day!

What a nightmare! Even on for and against, looks like we have a 4 way tie for 3rd place! After Eric won the round and Edward got second by correctly picking the for and against. Ryan, our nemesis jodragon40, BDC and GCRV all on equal 3rd.

What are the chances of that!

So if it's ok, I think it's fair to give Eric 4 points, Edward 3 points and the other four, 1 point. Otherwise it would have to be 0.25 of a point. Maybe next year should make first place 10 points, second place 8 points and third place 6 points.

1. jodragon40 on 28 points
2. GCRV on 18 points
3. BDC and Edward on 16 points

• myself on 14 points
• Eric and Chris M on 13 points
• RedV01 on 12 points
• Ryan on 10 points

Gee whiz only 6 rounds to go and I'm only 10 points ahead, imagine if we had 10 points for 1st as suggested. I'd be that far in front I would feel like I'm in another country

You are a tipping genius. No doubt but I'm not sure about your math. You would only be relatively further ahead.

Never ever said I was a mathematical genius

Now we know your weakness.

 

[jodragon40]

Yes school certificate B-

 

[Morgan]

Now we know your weakness.

If only I knew earlier, I would have only given him 2 points for every 3 he has scored and told him I gave him 3. He'd probably still be winning but it'd be closer.

The thing about jodragon40's tipping isn't so much the number of times he wins but the consistency. He gets at least 1 point almost every week!

I aim for 6 out of 8 . This is for fun on this forum because it is not money driven. The money lies elsewhere. In my local club tipping comp I am going for 3 years in a row, winner takes home about $1500 . The only problem is that I now in the 3rd year find similar tips to mine by others, apart from 1 or 2 a week but as life has shown me that's all part of the game. The TAB has also kindly donated to my kitty as well.
