2006/07 Premiership Tipping Comp

[BoyBrumby]

Thought I'd do a quick update as the Prem is having a week's break for the FA Cup. I'll limit it to those who're predicting on at least a semi-reguler basis.

Dav still storming things on premierleague.com & BM now breathing down Marc's neck for third. Pie's return of -100 for the round suggests a lack of effort on his part, clearly.

1. (1) superkingdave 1520 (+60)
2. (2) BoyBrumby 1255 (+40)
3. (3) marc71178 930 (-20)
4. (4) broncoman 870 (+5)
5. (5) Football Equivalent Of A Weatherman 145 (-100)

Meanwhile grecian is till ruling the roost on Oztips, with the antipodeans in 2nd & 3rd shaming us Poms at our own game. Sounds familiar, TBH.

1. (1) 105 grecian
2. (2) 102 bugssy
3. (5) 100 geg_thomas
4. (5) 98 BoyBrumby
4. (3) 98 marc71178
6. (4) 95 oz_fan
7. (7) 92 superkingdave

im already on +120 at Prem this week, got 6 out of 8 results right, and used the insurance on a game i got wrong, hopefully i can overtake marc soon...

 

[marc71178]

As it stands you're ahead now.

 

[Simon]

got both results wrong on sunday so im still behind, still plenty of time to go!

it would be good if we could kick people out of the comp all those people that arent tipping are making us look bad...

 

[BoyBrumby]

Long overdue for an update, so here it is.

On OzTips we have a new leader! NZT ousts long-term roost-ruler grecian to take the lead by a single point.

1. geg_thomas 135
2. grecian 134
3. BoyBrumby 131
4. bugssy 130
5. marc71178 126
6. superkingdave 116
7. oz_fan 106

Meanwhile, over on premierleague.com it's still as you were, although I have narrowed the gap on SKD since his Australian exile began.

1) superkingdave 1820 (+60)
2) BoyBrumby 1710 (+85)
3) marc71178 1370 (+40)
4) broncoman 1130 (+15)

 

[grecian]

Grrrr.

Karma again, as soon as I started boasting my lead has eroded badly, now it be a fleeting thing.

Still top tipping from the leader, has to be said, ten points behind me, not that long ago

 

[BoyBrumby]

Thought it about time this was updated.

On OzTips gecian has again clawed his way to the summit and I'm now filling the number two slot (ooer, missus, take my wife, no please, etc). Mehrts is also tipping again now (welcome back mate ) after an absence & has oz_fan & skd in his sights:

1. 152 grecian
2. 150 BoyBrumby
3. 149 geg_thomas
4. 144 bugssy
5. 143 marc71178
6. 128 superkingdave
7. 113 oz_fan
8. 102 mehrts

Meanwhile, over on premierleague.com, I've taken over from skd, but it's rather hollow as it's due to his non-submission whilst in antipodean exile:

1. BoyBrumby 2025 (+140)
2. superkingdave 1845 (-100)
3. marc71178 1765 (+175)
4. broncoman 1375 (+35)

 

[Simon]

shocking week from me, oh well...

 

[BoyBrumby]

Time for an update ahead of tomorrow's last round of Prem games.

It's going to the wire on OzTips, with potentially 4 still in with a shout of glory:

1. (2) 179 BoyBrumby
1. (1) 179 grecian
3. (3) 177 geg_thomas
4. (4) 173 bugssy
5. (5) 164 marc71178
6. (6) 133 superkingdave
7. (7) 118 mehrts
7. (7) 118 oz_fan

& I have a comfortable-ish lead on premierleague.com, but marc could nick it if he has a stormer:

1) BoyBrumby 2205
2) marc71178 2055
3) broncoman 1565
4) superkingdave 1235

 

[Simon]

tbh id be upset not to be considered an outside chance dale...

 

[marc71178]

I had clawed back over the last couple of rounds, then had a shocker last week.

Oh well, always next year (been saying that the last few)

Not convinced it's possible.

Best you can do is 370 (10 spot-on predictions @ 30 each, extra 30 for your banker & max banker bonus of 40) & worst I can do is -110 (10 x wrong predictions @ -10 & extra -10 for my banker being wrong). That'd give you 1935 & me 2095.

 

[grecian]

Had a rubbish midweek last week on OZtips, doing a choke

thats not taking into account possible points deductions for rorting the salary cap, wait... hmm oh well...

Final Tables

It's a close finish on OzTips, but my weekly total of 3 (out of a possible 10!) is enough to secure me the title by a single point from grecian. Looking at the tips it was me calling Trotters/Villa a draw that won it; so I have to thank Luke Moore's 81st minute equaliser for my victory. NZT secures third & bugs ends up in fourth spot:

1. (1) 182 BoyBrumby
2. (1) 181 grecian
3. (3) 179 geg_thomas
4. (4) 175 bugssy
5. (5) 167 marc71178
6. (6) 134 superkingdave
7. (7) 119 mehrts
7. (7) 119 oz_fan

& over on premierleague.com I manage to make it a double () as my -20 for the round surprisingly stretches my lead!

1. (1) BoyBrumby 2180 (-25)
2. (2) marc71178 1995 (-60)
3. (3) broncoman 1575 (+10)
4, (4) superkingdave 1135 (-100)

 

[Simon]

pretty happy to have won the last round, pretty surprised i managed to score in the positives given it was a draw-a-thon...

 

[NZTailender]

Pretty happy with third considering I picked all my teams at the start of the year and then just left it.

 

[bugssy]

considering iw as leading a while ago i had a shocking last half. good to see it was still fighting for at the last round. next season we will do it all again boys
