Removing celebs from paper tipsters won't work. Same goes for following tips on all of the footy shows. They are tipping who will win, not who is value.

" The reason a selection starts favourite is because it has the most money on it.
The reason roughies start at their price is because they have the least amount of money on them."

First of all, do you mean 'start' as in opening lines, or 'start' as in at game time? You give the punters too much credit for influencing the market. If a fave is a fave, it is generally because that's what the bookie wants.
