AFL Tipping Comp

[Sportz]

Welcome to the AFL tipping comp. Make sure you read the rules carefully please.

RULES

Everyone to have their tips in for the whole round before the first match.

Pick the team you think will win each game and also pick whether they'll win by 1-24 points or 25+ points. 1 point will be awarded for correctly picking the winning team. 2 points will be awarded if you also get the margin correct. You can pick a draw if you wish. You will receive 12 points for correctly tipping a draw.

Pick the exact winning margin in the selected 'match of the week'
2 bonus points will be awarded to the tipster who gets closest to the actual winning margin in this match. If anyone gets the margin exactly correct, they will get an extra 8 bonus points.

Bit concerned that you miss by 1 and get 2 bonus points and be spot on you get 8.

RULES

Everyone to have their tips in for the whole round before the first match.



What about a bit of common sense leniency for this round.
Only coz first game is Thursday.
My main concern is knowing the team squads,particularly for Sunday and Monday games!
Maybe make the Saturday afternoon bounce the closing time for other games!

[Sportz]

Bit concerned that you miss by 1 and get 2 bonus points and be spot on you get 8.

Don't honestly expect that we'll get that close to the exact margin all that often. I wouldn't be surprised if we go the whole season with no one getting the 8 bonus points. It's just an added incentive to keep everyone interested.

[Sportz]

Okay, yes. I'll be lenient with the first round because of the break on Good Friday. I would still like everyone to put ALL their tips in before Thursday's game, but if you then want to make a couple of changes you can do so providing you do it before Saturday's games start. :)

Not confident. Some real toughies for the opening round. 4 or 5 games that could go either way.

[Tenacious Spirit]

Sportz, you're not wrong re the toughness of the round. The first few are always a bit like that because you don;t really know what potential shown in pre-season was genuine or not, ie: some coaches taking it more seriously than others.

No worries on the layout either

Weekend games to possibly be adjusted depending on the ins and outs tonight.

[moeee]

Timed out on the edit time limit but would have liked to have slapped this addendum.
Please?

(Last minute thoughts.
Make it Brisbane by 5 points.
Because it is Chris Scott and not Brad.

And Sportz!
Normally I would have had the Lions by 23 points.
But by allowing for my new player ratings,it is now 5 points.)

[Sportz]

But by allowing for my new player ratings,it is now 5 points.)

Okay. Let's see how they go.

I went for St Kilda when Lappin was out. Now he's playing which makes a big difference, but I decided to stick to my first thought anyway. All depends on whether St Kilda can overcome their previous terrible record at the Gabba. If they can, they have a good chance. Same goes for West Coast against Adelaide too.

[Sportz]

Normally I would have had the Lions by 23 points.
But by allowing for my new player ratings,it is now 5 points.)

Hmmm, perhaps you should have stuck to the old method.

[Sportz]

Equal closest to the correct margin were Jack Daniels and Kiwi.

[Paddy]

Hmmm, perhaps you should have stuck to the old method.

Hmmm, if only.

[Paddy]

Equal closest to the correct margin were Jack Daniels and Kiwi.

Well done fellas! Great start to the long weekend!!

[Sportz]

Well, I suppose I was just plain dumb to go against Brisbane at the Gabba, but if they had taken their chances tonight, St Kilda could certainly have won. I reckon they missed at least 5 or 6 shots they definitely should have got. Losing Reiwoldt didn't help either.

[Paddy]

Got to admit SK's last goal was a gift even though they had just got a poster.

[DR RON]

Sportz, if you check the first page you will see thta chuck nailed the 8 bonus points.

[Paddy]

23

Go Chuck!

[Sportz]

You're kidding!!! Wow.

I just had a quick glance at all the tips after the game finished and I guess I didn't look that far back. Anyway, well done Chuck. Not bad for guesswork. ;)

Here was me thinking we may not even get one 8 point bonus all year and it's taken just one game. Well, that's an incentive for the rest of us.

By the way, notice that Chuck didn't originally even pick a margin and only tipped 23 after I reminded him. Hmmm, not sure I should have done that. :D

[Sportz]

Equal closest to the correct margin were Jack Daniels and Kiwi.

Sorry guys. I should have had a more thorough look at the tips before getting your hopes up.

[Paddy]

Geez Chuck, talk about setting a high standard! But did it have to be round 1 game 1!! The pressure’s on already!!!

I'm sure I'll get a chance to congratulate you guys (for real) at some other point in time during this comp :)

[Jack Daniels]

If only the doofus that hit the post with a minute and a half on the clock had have slotted it through for a six pointer instead of a behind it could well have been a 24 point margin. :mad:

Well done Chuck, thats going to be hard to top this year!!! :D

[Chuck]

Chuck, do you want to have a go on the margin in the Bris/StK game?

thanks Sportz!! i guess it was that brilliant database i HAVEN'T got

[Sportz]

Perhaps it was just that you didn't think about it too much. My ratings said Brisbane by a few points, but when I put my tips in, I just had a gut feeling that St Kilda would get over the line in this one. Stupid gut feeling! :D

[rabbitz]

A tea spoon of castor oil is great for the guts
How far Brisbane with black ,brown etc
Riewoldt was a loss for st kilda,but I think Brisbane would have still won by about a goal.
I was at the tab before kickoff and thought about Brisbane 20-39 @ $4.25
but decided to just watch it without any money on.Im in about four tipping comps around the place,took Brisbane in three of them and my mate who im going halves in one of them,picked St kilda
Cheers

[moeee]

Excuse my feeble memory Rabbitz,but could you just remind me again,how much green you have left in the forum footy comp?

[rabbitz]

Why do you ask O feeble one!
I will still be around for a long time in that comp
At least Im having a bit of a go
Cheers

[Sportz]

I will still be around for a long time in that comp


When we reach April and we have all our competitors finalised, I'll introduce something new to the Punting comp. Will be an enticement to stay around as long as possible.

Cut the tease Sportz, give us all a hint!

[Sportz]

'Free' $100 bets.

As from the start of April, everyone that's entered the Punter's comp will be entitled to make one $100 bet and it doesn't come off their balance. The same thing will happen on the first of June and then also on the first of August. You can use these 3 free bets whenever you like. You can use them as soon as you get them, or you can save them up.

We'll also be entitled to two more free $100 bets to be placed on the AFL and NRL Grand Finals. So, if we're still alive in the comp at that stage we'll have had 5 free $100 bets.

[moeee]

Why do you ask O feeble one!

Because you are throwing around colours without having the credentials.
Keep going,but get it out of reverse gear!

Watch out Mr. 8 pointer.We's cummin'.
And then it was 6.

[Chuck]

No doubt i'll be brought back to the field in quick time. I haven't got much of an idea about AFL

does this involve those who have already been outed from the comp?

[Chuck]

sorry, just read further down your post!

[kiwi]

Hey Kiwi, how much AFL coverage do you get in NZ?

G'day Sportz,
We get one game live plus a highlights package.
My brother is in Melborne and follows the Western Bulldogs.
I belive the ruckmen run a half marathon every game.
The game is a lot faster than union and league but those games are a lot faster than when i played back in the sixties and seventies.

[moeee]

Well done Chuck.
Thought you actually had 16 points.
Don't want to be a spoilsport,but I'd really like to win this one.
Sportz,I'm sure You paid Chucky the mark for tipping the pies by 25+

The edit is because I thought Chuck got 10 points for the Brisbane game.
Did he actually get 12?

[Sportz]

Yes, 18 points is correct.

Chuck picked up 12 points for correctly tipping Brisbane by 23 (2 for correct team and margin, 2 points for closest to the exact margin and a further 8 points for actually getting the margin spot on). That might seem like a bit much, but it's no easy task to correctly pick an AFL margin to the exact point. As I said, I didn't expect the extra 8 bonus points to go off so soon, but it just shows that it can be done and it's an extra incentive to the rest of us. Also means we've got plenty of time to catch up to Chuck and there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to do that Mo.

[Chuck]

beat me...i though it was 3 for winner and margin!

[moeee]

Well themz da rulz!

Sympathies to Jack and Kiwi who had missed the correct margin by a solitary point and ended up with only 2 points.

Come on round 2.

[Sportz]

All matches
Pick the winner but get the margin wrong: 1 point
Pick the winner and get the margin right: 2 points

Match of the week
Be the closest to the exact margin: 2 points
Get the margin exactly right: a further 8 points

[Sportz]

Sympathies to Jack and Kiwi who had missed the correct margin by a solitary point and ended up with only 2 points.


Yes, I agree that's certainly unfortunate, but when you think about it, isn't sport like that? One point can make a huge difference. You lost your bet in the Punter's comp by one point and it was the difference between a $117 profit and a $20 loss.

[Sportz]

Ooops, sorry about reminding you of that.

Picked the Blues to win by 25+ If only a few of them had a compass !!

Carlton 16.14 (110) defeated Essendon 17.4 (106)

[Sportz]

Just relieved that they got over the line. A 4 point win is brilliant considering where they were at 3/4 time.You're right though. The difference in accuracy of both teams was amazing. Could have been a 40 point win instead.

[moeee]

Yes very slow and Dunno why but there definately ain't gonna be roll your own lines on AFL this year.
I've gone back with Norm Short.He loads very quickly!

Disappointing so far. Tough round to pick with most games going down to the wire... The Pt/Bris game with 10 minutes to go nearly had me the 8 bonus points, but ended up with only the win.... But that's how things go...

Anyway, I shall fight on to the end....

Round 3

St Kilda (25+)
Collingwood (1-24)
Sydney (1-24)

And Moeee, I don't recall you criticizing my abilities. You called me soft, because my opinion differed to yours. Maybe everybody should go and kick Primus in the knee, test it out... Gotta be in the rules....

Well, you ARE 4 away, but you CAN'T get the 2 bonus points for getting closest to the correct margin. The 2 bonus points goes to the tipster who is closest out of all those that picked the winning team. If nobody picked the winning team, nobody gets the 2 extra points.

Sportz, just 1 question, did you pick the margins, 1-24 & 25+, instead of 1-39 & 40+ to make it harder or easier ?

[Sportz]

To make it more even and more of a challenge. If we had 1-39 & 40+, people would simply pick 1-39 most of the time, whereas a margin of 24 points makes you think a bit more.

It's also a better comparison to the Union & League margin of 1-12 & 13+ points. If you look at the odds, in most games 40+ is quite a bit longer in the betting than 1-39 points, whereas in League & Union, the two margins are reasonably close together in the betting.

[goldmember]

OK, thanks sportz, fair enough,sportodds has those margins and the tab has the other margins, but we cant use the tab on our bets, just wondered,thats all.

cheers

[Sportz]

I've wondered for a long time why they use 39 points instead of 24 points or even 30 points which seem to make more sense to me.

By the way, so far in two rounds of our AFL tipping comp, it's 10-6 in favour of the 1-24 margin. Had we been using 1-39 points, it would have been 13-3. So you see it just makes it a bit more even.

[Sportz]

Just thought I'd put them up nice and early, so you've got plenty of time to think about 'em Paddy. :D

[goldmember]

It "LOOKS" an easy round next week,wonder if it will turn out that way

[BJ]

Gee would have been a good round to bet. Most of the favourites were massively underquoted. The only team that were a fair price were Port, and look at what happened to them. Looks like some good value again next week too...
I'll put my tips up later in the week.. Have to decide if I have the heart to go against my Sainters....

[Sportz]

The way they're playing at the moment, perhaps you should decide if you have the guts to go WITH them? Pretty disappointing. Reiwoldt can't make that much difference surely.

[mug punta]

It's a long way to go and we all get caught up in early season form. I remember a couple of years ago both the cats and magpies won there first 5 games and didn't even make the 8.
Believe it or not I reckon there's come great signs for the saints. They are playing crap footy and still either winning or just losing.
Hammil is in great form and when Riewoldt, Kossie and Gehrig get full fitness and are up and running who will teams match up on him then
The saints are the real deal and will still go mighty close this year and yes Riewloldt does make that much difference.
It's like asking was Carey important when North was at the height of there powers.
I can guarantee this, North have no hope of winning the flag. They are playing 100% to there potential and most of the big guns are firing at about 75% ie Saints, Power and Brisbane.
On what ive seen this year and knowing the room for potential these 3 clubs have they look like the only premiership hopes for mine.
I still reckon the Dees will be suss when these teams become fully fit.
West Coast have no gun forwards bar Matera and the Cats may be not quite as good as I first thought.
The Swans would probly have a flukers hope if Roos actually coached like he did in the last quarter and give them there head to actually play free flowing footy. They are great to watch when they are up and running like that but why he is so defensive i'll never know.

[Sportz]

Hope you're right in your assessment. Just doesn't look all that great at the moment for a couple of the big teams.

[moeee]

I've wondered for a long time why they use 39 points instead of 24 points or even 30 points which seem to make more sense to me.



It has been said that those that needed to know,added up all the winning margins within a certain period and divided by the number of games and came up with 40.

[moeee]

I'll put my tips up later in the week.. Have to decide if I have the heart to go against my Sainters....

Remember that you put your tips in early last week and you went from bottom of the ladder to the top!

It has been said that those that needed to know,added up all the winning margins within a certain period and divided by the number of games and came up with 40.

Yeah, I thought it would be something like that. Well, I still don't really agree with it.

I think some REALLY huge margins in some games tend to skew the results. For example, Rd 3 was one of the closest rounds you could possibly imagine. 5 games were decided by 8 points or less, yet the overall average margin was 20.3 points. So I can see that in a normal round with not so many close finishes, the average probably would be close to 40.

I still think that a margin of 24 or 30 points offers a better balance between 'under' & 'over'. I know we've only had 24 games this year so not a huge amount to go on, but it's 19-5 in favour of under 39.5 as opposed to over 39.5.

[Paddy]

YES i'll post my tips early again .Dont want to ponder this round too much .

Sheedy says no :( Hird says yes :)
Time will tell!

[BJ]

The way they're playing at the moment, perhaps you should decide if you have the guts to go WITH them? Pretty disappointing. Reiwoldt can't make that much difference surely.

I think they are starting to find a bit of form. If it was just Riewoldt, I would not be that concerned, I believe Kositchtzke could fill the gaps. But he is gone also, and Gehrigs fitness basically puts him at about 70% effectiveness. Leaving a forward line with few targets. Our focal point will be Hamill who would be struggling to be 6 foot ?

However, I think the midfield will now be more likely to fire a few more shots towards goal themselves. They are all capable, and I think the best way to beat Melbourne is to make their midfielders accountable, and put them in a defensive mindset. Also, Moloney out will help.
With that in mind, here are my tips......

Round 4

Kangaroos (1-24)
Brisbane (25+)
West Coast (25+)
Geelong (1-24)
Port Adelaide (25+)
Sydney (1-24)
Richmond (1-24)
St Kilda (1-24) 19

And Moeee, remember, the Saints played that way last year having to rove to the opposition. Now they have a capable ruckman, although he is no Spider Everitt, but capable and quite mobile all the same. Don't write them off just yet.

Not even 1/4 time yet and I'm already regretting this stupid tip. Looking like an easy Collingwood win. The Kangaroos must be the Bookies' favourite team. Win when they aren't expected to and lose when they're favourites.

god you give up easy,5 points down,one straight kick,i was worried when it was 18 points but then it was all kangas,if you lose it will probably because you didnt go 25+

[Paddy]

Well, it was 17 points when I posted that and looking VERY bad.


Yeh, Collingwood got off to a FLYING start.

[Paddy]

But I can't post anymore results cause floydyboy will rapt me on the knuckles again :(

[Floydyboy]

hahaha It doesnt worry me Im a live score watcher but Ive done it before myself

[Sportz]

Yeah, very hard to keep away from the scores. Tonight I was listening to the AFL on the radio and every time they went to say the NRL score I switched off to avoid hearing it. But one time, I didn't switch off quick enough. Let's just say it was a big shock because the score was WAY different to what was showing on the TV.

[Floydyboy]

Still dont understand why they have a FOOTY channel and no live friday night matches I could understand if they didnt show it in the city or state where the match was but why they do it is beyond me ........its obviously to do with $$$$$.Quite frankly I think the FOOTY chanel is a waste of bloody space ...They could use the fox channels for replays in stead of theworlds strongest man comps. And why call it the bloody FOOTY channel.If they used it for League and Union and even soccer it would be good but no Footballers bloody wives and such are more Important

[Sportz]

Floydy, they're not allowed to show it by Channel 9 and the AFL. Channels 9 & 10 have the rights to 5 games each week and Fox aren't allowed to show any of those games live.

[Floydyboy]

Bit of a joke isnt it

[Sportz]

As for tonight's result, of course it was never in doubt. Never worried in the least. :D

[Floydyboy]

I also heard and Im not fully up to speed on it that with the Digital Tv that there were 2 options...one opiton was more stations and the other was interactive
and the government in all their wisdom decided for us that we should have interactive
Do you know if thats correct
Anyway enough said this is a tipping thread Ill do this somewhere else ...and sorry Paddy no offence meant

[Floydyboy]

I liked em too .....Roosters I mean...... but then again I had a tenner on em in last years GF

[Sportz]

Bulldogs led 16-0 and then had a player held up over the line. Possibly could have led 22-0. Just a minute later, the Roosters scored down the other end. That turnaround was the turning point of the game.

[Paddy]

As for tonight's result, of course it was never in doubt. Never worried in the least. :D


Same here Sportz :rolleyes:

[rabbitz]

Well, it was 17 points when I posted that and looking VERY bad.
Collingwood would have won if Anthony Rocca hadnt got injured,he wouldnt have missed that last goal.
Cheers

If I take my losing ticket to the TAB and tell Tabatha about Rocca,do you think she will give me my money back?

[Floydyboy]

If your nice about it they might......... but dont forget to mention Rabbitz name ...Sharapovans hold a lot of sway at the TAB
