Premier League Tipping 2011/12

[BoyBrumby]

Final update

The admin first: bi gets Somers's tips as per his instructions.

A good week to end the season with. No-one does worse than at least a 50% passmark.

Best get of the final Sunday was Sean & Furball calling the Swans' home win & worst miss was fred not backing Wigan to best the already gone Wolfs.

No tips from DoG, so he shares grecian's woe.

Weekly

Halsey 8
Sean 8
GF 8
GIMH 7
Somers 7
Marcuss 7
fatt 7
bi 7
Brumby 7
marc 6
fred 6
Johnners 6
grecian 5
DoG 5

Weekly extras to Halsey, GF & Sean for their 8s.

As expected marc pulls off a maiden crown, topping the 200 mark in the process. Congrats to him.

Halsey's 8 closes the gap to five and secures him silver from Somers, who takes the bronze. Sean's & Furball's own 8s mean they pip fred for fourth & bi for sixth respectively.

Well done marc

 

[Tom Halsey]

Well done to Marc and thanks for running it Brumby.

 

[grecian]

Well done Marc, and probably a double with the Fantasy thingy

 

[The Sean]

Well done Marc, and thanks Brumby.

 

[marc71178]

Cracking effort to run this for a full season. Cheers BB.

Looking to include actual score predictions in the Euros if people are up for it - feedback would be good though if people would prefer to keep it as is.

Yeah, top hole stuff Brumbers, sterling effort.

I was thinking of a fantasy comp for the Euros, I think there's a decent MacDonalds one. Yet if anyone knows of any better....

 

[fredfertang]

Well done marc, sewed it up by Christmas didn't you?

............ and many thanks to Brumbers for running it and providing the only basis I have for remaining in touch with my younger son, save when the little ****er wants cash of course, cos that's different

 

[Furball]

6th is a good effort considering I'd missed the first 4 weeks of the season. If I'd kept my nose clean then who knows?

Congrats to marc, and thanks to Brumby for running it.

Two suggestions I'd make:

1. Non-tippers should get the lowest score minus one point. To use the most recent tips as an example, I don't think it's fair that DoG gets the same score as grecian when grecian actually made the effort to tip.

2. I'd like to see a bonus for people that make unique, correct tips.

 

[Somerset]

Congrats Marc, a worthy winner. Very happy with a bronze medal given my historically poor premier league tipping performance! Cheers for running the admin side of things Brumby, a great job as always.

so how it will work you get bonus point for correct score line ?

 

[marc71178]

I'm thinking something along lines of:
5 points for nailing score.
3 points for getting margin spot on
2 points for getting margin 1 out
1 point for getting winner.

Draw-wise I need to work it out but probably:
5 points for nailing score.
3 points for getting number of goals scored by each team 1 out
2 points for getting number of goals scored by each team more than 1 out

we get 1 point predicting draw rt ?

say predicted 0-0 ended up 2-2 ?

 

[marc71178]

That would be 2 points.
