A-League Tipping Comp - Round 9

A-League Tipping Comp - Round 9

Another week, and yet again Frankie Mac is on top, can anyone catch the juggernaut? With the high odds the Phoenix will be at against Gold Coast there is always a chance for large gains to be made with an away victory this weekend, or will Smeltz spoil the party?

Points will be up when they become available, but expect the Nix to be around 14 points for a win given the odds they are in aussie bookies.

I have plugged the draw into the Super Computer that I built using a discarded cardboard box, a roll of toilet paper and 2005 Kylie Minogue calendar, and it has come up with the following answers:

You should be so lucky.
Lucky, lucky, lucky.

Quite annoying that I tip a draw on here for the Wellington game but don't bother to put actual cash on that outcome!!

** closed for the round **

could be worse, you could have put $10 on them to win like me

so how many points am I clear now then?

Sorry about the delay in getting the results up.

Seriously, If Phoenix are going to keep drawing and Frankie Mac is getting double points from Phoenix draws, then noone is going to catch him, unless they make sure that all nix games are draws . . . .(not that it is going to stay that way)

If Frankie didn't have those 5-6 draws in double points, what would his total be?

Sadly I didnt expect so much draws to happen :/

'IF" Phoenix games were not double points, this is how things would rank up.

so either way I am a genius?

Being a genius can be very boring. Even being a manic genius can be boring as the unpredictable becomes predictable.

But yes, you are a genius, a boring genius but only because I lightly thought of it myself at the beginning. However I noticed that in one round, you broke doing draws because it was boring.

It's like having a club that wins with a boring playing style that even their own fans would consider suicide as a better alternative. e.g. Chelsea in the early 90s.

If you can be happy with that then who am I to steal your joy?
