Tipping 2021

dogmeat

@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)

Snowy

@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?

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?

@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.

broughie

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

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.

Crucial

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

Donsteppa

Dumb Steamers. Dumb Waikato. Bah humbug.

KiwiPie

@donsteppa I picked against the Steamers as an insurance tip

taniwharugby

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

@kiwipie said in Tipping 2021:

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.

Cheers. Might have to wait on team lists for this week.

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.

dogmeat

@kiwipie shush If I am to reach my aspiration of mediocrity I need people to forget to tip. As a strategy it's served me (not well) for 15 years now.

Week 4 results are live

Best score of a tricky tipping weekend was Delicatessen with 49 who managed to pick all 5 results which was no mean feat. Higgins and Dice had 47 with Mikey07, Mikedogz, Hooroo, Stargazer & Stockcar86 all 40+. Higgins now has a 7 point lead over Stagazer with Mikey07 up to 3rd and Dice up to 4th. Dogmeat had the weekend low of 16 which is also a season low score.

The teams comp is splitting between the teams with a full squad and those struggling to make a team. Northland are missing @justin77 @Gunner @muddyriver @KiwiMurph Harbour-Auckland are missing @Tim & Fiamacho and BOP are missing @sportboy

Wellington have won 4 from 4 and lead by 3 points from Counties-Waikato. South Island and Hawke's Bay are the others in the top 4.

Mikey07 up to 3rd

Wow that’s the highest I’ve ever been so this is what it’s like to always tip against Wellington

Unlike the real Wellington team

KiwiPie

The results are live now

Stockcar86 top scored with 64, missed the Northland win but 3 correct margins for the other games plus highest and lowest scorer correct. FarNthHayden picked all 4 results (even had Northland winning 17+) and scored 62. 50+ for Hurrycanes and Plastered Peni on what was a difficult week to tip - Langakali with a season low 11. Higgins is 6 ahead of Plastered Peni at the top with Stargazer falling to 3rd and Hydro11 up to 4th.

5 wins from 5 has Wellington 4 clear at the top from South Island with a 5 way battle for the 4 play-off spots.
