BPL 2008-2 Round 1 Tipping Results


If you don't have your picture next to your name it's because I don't actually know who you are.

Also, someone posted their tips in time for the round, but posted as "anonymous". Hint: If you want your tips to count, I have to know who you are!

Man, putting those photos up is going to scare any further prospective tippers off!

Posting the results each week means I'll actually have to try, you know.

And "Sensei" I "suspect" is the "leader" of the Dojo ...

Well people shouldn't worry too much. I only have photos of Firestorm players and a couple of photos I found on BUB of Rawhide.

Anonymous said...

"sensei" is indeed the leader of the Dojo - Stephen C. I knew JDR had the smarts to work that one out, didn't factor in that it would actually be wetnose crunching the numbers though...

Big thanks to John Mac for the hot tip. I remember Mark Waugh getting in serious trouble for giving a similar "weather" prediction to certain subcontinental bookies a few years back...

I can see how not being able to tip against one's own team would make life hard for those on teams which win less than others, but I really think that things could come unstuck at some point under the current system.

I'm not saying Cheeseburger would deliberately try to make throwaways that look like slightly errant hucks, (he has plenty of legit errant hucks anyway...), but it could take some of the competitiveness out of games (especially later in the season where table positions are pretty much stable) if people have more of an eye on getting their tips right than on winning games...

Anyone else agree with this? I know Dr. Phil Stocks does, and he's got a PhD (as most older frisbee players do) so he must know what he's talking about...

Maybe we should only be allowed to tip on games our own team isn't playing in? That keeps things even and prevents any future match-fixing scandals...

Pete said...

Honestly I can't see anyone matchfixing, no one enjoys losing games (of course JMac is the exception, he loves losing and obviously threw the game last night :P)

Nice work with the table Wetnose. Isn't Adam = Jangles?

Pete said...

+ AJ had the same tips as me...

Ok I've really got to stop procrastinating.

wetnose said...

Wasn't 100% sure if Adam = Jangles, coz he usually posts as Jangles.
You're right about my error with AJ, will update it in my database but change will not be reflected until next weeks results.

Tomsteve said...

well people could always bet on the games they don't play in if you're that worried but this just isn't cricket, no one is that lame.

gref said...

But seriously...

If it was the grand final, and churchill and I were tied on tips, and he tipped passion, I would seriously consider tipping the other team and throwing some hucks out. Provided we weren't playing buggers, UQ, or dojo.

Rawhide in a grand final...

Hahahahaha, I see what I did there.

AJ said...

sssh Pete I was trying to get away with it.

Tomsteve said...

Rawhide in a grand final...
