A little birdie has told me that the TAB has too much money and they would like to give us tippers a chance to win some of it. But we will have to work for it.

Each week SteffenTAB will challenge two tippers to a head to head contest. If you manage to beat him, he will put a $10 multi* on your tips for the following round.

*$10 percentage bet on A-League Head to Head options, covering getting 4/5 and 5/5 results correct. Any winnings will be credited into a new or existing TAB account.

hard case those leagues - nice work Ryan. Is that your name? It's my name too.
Or is your name Rover...
Either way, good stuff.

My uneducated tips for this week:

Adelaide v Victory - draw
CCM 1+
Sydney 1+
Jets v Glory - draw
WSW 1+

Top work. Wonder if I'll be more inclined to tip against the nix if TAB calls me out, or if am doing the multi I won.

Currently I can never bring myself to tip against the nix, even if I think we'll lose/draw.

"Challenge" may be the wrong word. I'm bound to be rubbish at this, which is why they have me doing this rather than managing odds. Hopefully none of you win too much money...


Let's kick this off. First two challengees are:

  • hlmphil
  • Oi Oi Edgecumbe

Here are the tips you'll need to beat:


Adelaide v Victory: Draw
Heart v CCM: CCM 2+
Roar v Sydney: Sydney 1
Jets v Glory: Jets 1
WSW v Phoenix: WSW 1


And that's that. Any questions?

I should say, if you're overseas and don't already have a verified TAB account, I won't be able to give you a bet. Sorry!

Also, if any of tippers are under 18 they probably should point that out. Just so no one gets in trouble.

Yes, that too. If you can't/aren't allowed to open a TAB account, I'll just send you an ice cream. Or something.

You can take part. We'll just need to sort out getting you verified before we credit you any winnings that you might get.

Very excited about this TAB challenge. My account has no money left in it thanks to the 90th minute of last week's game.

Ahmad has asked if he can join. Rather than have him play 'friendlies' for 6 weeks until the end of the 1st League season, I have decided that he can replace the 442 Forums in the Conference Premier. It does make things a little messy I know but given the effort he puts into things, I really want to include him. The 442 Forums result from Round 1 stands but Ahmad won't be given those points.

2 results, 0 margins = 4 points. I double checked all them again and found I robbed Wolfman of 2 points, which I have fixed up.

Sorry just double checked the first page for the scoring system, thought it was 1 point for a correct result with no margin. My sincere apologies to both of you!

No worries, It was 1 point last season but changed it to 2 this season to make it fairer.

Plus I'm only human and do make mistakes. Its a good reminder for everyone to check my results.
