Tipping 2020

@Higgins said in Tipping 2020:

@KiwiPie So my anticipated 80 points might be enough to win the title if Joan and Mary along with Hurrycanes don't exceed 75 points!

You can get 80 points in this game? I call bullshit! I thought 40 was max.

[Higgins]

@Crucial Indeed you can, your thinking that 40 is the maximum could be related to your personal high score!!!!!!!

[KiwiPie]

Press conference from me at 6pm to discuss the implications for the country's premier tipping competition.

@KiwiPie video live streamed I hope, dont want no piss-poor wordy response!!

[Bones]

This. This is why I don't tip. Perennial bottom dwellers blues put almost 50 on recent finalists lions. Followed up by perennial champions crusaders absolutely struggling against perennial wooden Spooner's sunwolves.

@Bones Come on Bones. Stop making excuses. We all are expecting more from the Crusaders but after 6 weeks it just is not going to happen. They are crap.

[Bones]

@broughie it's cool, they're top scorers now.

[KiwiPie]

Jags v Landers is off and the Super rugby competition is suspended (not sure about the Brumbies game today).

[Virgil]

Least my tipping won’t keep getting worse..

[taniwharugby]

@Virgil I was poised to make my comeback after hustling the early rounds to get my odds pushed out!

[KiwiPie]

I will update the scores this weekend - treating the Jags v Landers game as a draw - but have had a sudden loss of enthusiasm!

[Virgil]

Happy to call the season a draw we all win..

[Crucial]

As long as the scores are projected to take into account my planned late season surge up the board, I am happy to call it off

[Higgins]

@KiwiPie A score draw greater than ten all or a nil nil draw as that would then eliminate the Lions as the lowest scorers for the weekend!

[KiwiPie]

Right here we go - as we have no idea when the next week of tipping will be, I am going to stretch the announcement of Week 7 results over a whole week, a game per night.

So I have updated the Leaderboard and the Fixtures (and Cup) tabs on https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ with the very low points scored given only 3 picked the Canes to win. Tomorrow we update after the Blues v Lions game for which Laurence, after being 1 of 3 to pick the Canes, was the only one to take the Lions.

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiPie you need to factor into your fancy-pants algorithm my late surge I was planning after this round!

[KiwiPie]

@taniwharugby We could play future rounds by getting all of us to pick a scoreline for the rounds and then average out into a margin of victory. Maybe.

[voodoo]

@KiwiPie can we amend the "sport" to new Covid cases/deaths overnight or weekly? USA v Italy, Australia v NZ...

Or is that just too morbid...😨

Sorry

[KiwiPie]

@voodoo Yeah definitely. Sport related ideas only please.
