Tipping 2021

@virgil C'mon Virgil you can still do it. Form fluctuates and you have your good weeks and your bad weeks, no better example of this than the likes of @kiwipie who had a bit of a toe stubbing first time up!!!!!

@virgil said in Tipping 2021:

mind is everywhere at the moment, work stuff i doubt id remember to tip half the time!

Tipping half the time but not overthinking it sounds good enough for a Top Ten finish.

Because there is a (BoP) Mafia involved? Top ten isn't quite victory either...

Don't forget to tip for Week 2 - it's a marathon not a sprint https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit

The scores are in https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

In the Teams comp, wins for Counties-Waikato, Wairarapa Bush, South Island & Wellington. Northland were 2 players short and BOP 1 player short (if you don't tip you score 5 less than the lowest score - in this case 17 as DK scored 22).

South Island lead after 2 rounds with Counties-Waikato & Wellington also 2 wins from 2. Hawke's Bay, Harbour-Auckland and Northland all with 2 defeats to start.

Best of the weekend was Dogmeat with 57 points, picking all 7 games (as did TR and Bay Imports). Most picked 6/7 which meant higher scoring overall than last week. Hooroo still holds the overall lead by 6 from Corkscrew and Stargazer with Justin77 up to 4th and Langakali to 5th.

Missing tippers from last week were Jonathan Wiltshire @sportboy @KiwiMurph @Gunner Andrew Farrell and @FarNthHayden

I have a plan? Complete opportunist. That's why I am so good.

@snowy I would never credit / accuse you of anything as substantial as a plan...

No I meant the tippers that are missing haven't been in your basement (I assume)

@dogmeat Right you are then, re me ever having a plan that actually might work is ludicrous.

The question then is have any of these tippers "visited" my place. Did they piss me off?

tip 7 winners..only get one margin FML ..typical

When it was small you went big and vice-versa!

2nd Friday now... I get a pop-up reminder on work calendar - to do various bits of paperwork, with the very first item on the list being "TSF Tipping"...

• I excitedly click on the link, and start thinking about a weekend of rugby ahead...
• And then remember... yeah.... nah....

The more I think about it the more I think that we should just stop the comp now.

Sorry Hooroo but tipping is back

Only 4 games but your score will be out of 80 as that is what we do. First round of the TSF Cup as well.

Cheers KP.

Have you thought of picking out maybe a Heartland and/or FPC match to pad things out?

Disappointing.

@crucial fark, as if we know anything about those matches...our tips will be pure guesses!

@kiwipie I will be sitting out this one. I’ll wait until there is some sort of normality. Thanks.

This is carrying on from the earlier comp - teams comp etc - you team needs you.

@kiwipie Oh OK. There’s no “I” in team so I’m back in the game. I apologize for my selfishness.

You are spot on - you crumbled badly!

The scores are all updated for week 3 - it is now a 3 way tie at the top between Stargazer, Higgins & Corkscrew. 3 picked all 4/4, Crucial and Laurence who top scored with 64 and Corkscrew.

Hooroo went from top to outside the top 10, moving into the top 10 were Plastered Peni, Propsicle, Mikey07 and Laurence.

I haven't put up this weekend's fixtures - will wait until after 4pm's level update.

Yeah well it's not easy to get straight back into it without the pre-training. Needed at least one training session

That’s my one flukey week done for this comp then.

@hooroo I share your pain

Dumb Steamers. Dumb Waikato. Bah humbug.

@donsteppa I picked against the Steamers as an insurance tip

I had Northland as lowest scorers, Ta$man 17+ as highest scorer...so that was not quite max points on that one

The tipping form is live for Week 4 - 5 games this week so your score will be pro rata increased from out of 60 to out of 80.

I originally planned to do that, but couldn't bring myself to do so at the last minute - yet another bad tipping call!

Hardly. My tips are usually dart throwing but when I went to do them this week I struggled to throw the darts given the unknowns around player availability eg the Poo with Aaron Smith would be a very different proposition to the Poo without him.

Your weekly reminder to tip!
