Yeah, it would certainly have been better if the preliminary finals had been won more decisively or if we had all tipped better today. But that's the way it goes. Bad luck to Panther who finished on top of the table. Personally, I have nobody but myself to blame for my poor performance today. I went away from the stategy that had been so successful for me over the past 14 weeks, and tipped differently today. Dumb move.

Anyway, here we are:
