Not that I have won many tipping comps,but I have had a look at the stats,and more winners does not point you towards the top of the tree.
Plenty of winners will get you more respect than the punter who flukes a roughie,in my eyes anyway,but the occasional 33-1 short is what takes home the bacon in a competition.
Still remember TheFan mistipping the wrong number in the wrong race and belting everyone that time.
