Tipping at the Halfway House

So the current BPL season is now half way through and, as promised, we have the current standings along with a little bit of commentary.

1= Sensei, Gref, Reece
While these 3 tipsters all are even on 67% correct tips, the definite leader is Sensei. He missed the first 2 rounds, but has tipped in the next 5 rounds consecutively. Out of the 5 tips he has missed, these have included the 2 draws involving the Buggers, and the apparent upsets of Heroes beating Cobras, Cobras beating Passion, and Lovers beating Slamtown.

Gref (2 rounds tipped) and Reece (3 rounds) need to remember the rules that you need to tip more than 50% of game for the season (being 8 round minimum) and pick their game up to make sure they don't make themselves ineligible for the end of season prize.

4. Stu
Sitting alone in 4th place, Stu's love of Bug has kept him going, but his apparent dislike for Passion has stopped him climbing any higher. Needs to pick it up to go back-to-back with tipping titles.

5= Jmac, Julz
These 2 guys show how winning on the field make it a lot easier to win your tips, as no one (except Jangles) does or should ever tip against themselves.

The Rest
7. Jdr
8= Wetnose
8= Pete
10= BW
10= Jack
10= Al
13= Jangles
13= Stefan
15. Carl

Interesting Points
- There have been a total of 237 tips this season, and 131 of these have been correct giving an average percentage of 55.27%
- The most successfully tipped round so far was round 4 when 82% of the tips were correct. People obviously foresaw that Bugs would beat Lovers (9 out of 11 tips), Slamtown would beat Heroes (11 out of 11) and Dojo would account for Cobras (7 out of 11).
- The least successfully tipped round so far was round 3 when 44% of tips were correct. No-one though that Heroes would beat Cobras (0 out of 13 tips) and people were divided over the results of Bugs and Passion (8 out of 13) and Dojo against Lovers (9 out of 13).
- No one is yet to tip the draw, yet alone tip is successfully.
- No one also knows what Pete is doing with his tips this season, except for setting up some elaborate excuse for the end of season as to why he didn't win/lose.
- Dojo is the most popular team to tip with 69.70% of tips in game involving Dojo being in support of the Kensei.
- People don't like support Heroes with only 2 out of 70 tips in their favour, giving a percentage of 2.83%.
- Tipping percentages for the other teams are Passion 64.71%, Buggers 60.87%, Cobras 60.29%, Slamtown 50.00%, and Lovers 43.28%.
- Frisbee players have no lives, with 6 of the 15 tipsters tipping every round so far, with another 3 tipsters only missing 1 round.
