Footy Tipping Software

  Last Week           9/9          Season Total      122/171 Firstly, credit where credit is due.   I lambasted Kayo earlier in the year for their annoying interface and ability to make me have to scroll through hours of footage to get to the point I was last at.   Well, maybe someone out there reads this missive as they have now introduced a “Resume” option.   Of course, like a farmer complaining about not getting enough rain and then complaining that they have too much rain when the rains does arrive, I can say I hate the Resume function.   I’ve gotten so used to having no resume capability that now I have it, it confounds me and gets in the way of my live sport digestion. Not that it mattered on the weekend just gone.   I didn’t watch a second of the footy during the weekend and looking at the scores, I doubt I missed much at all. ...

  Last Week           5/9           Season Total      113/162   I’m pleasurably writing this while waiting for Rory to tee off at The Open Championship.  As I’ve gotten older, I’ve had a marked shift in my interest from footy to golf.  I didn’t watch any footy on the weekend and to be honest, didn’t really miss it.  To that point, I started to dive deeper into golf stats and wanted to understand what LIV has done to those golfers.  It’s not good.  Almost without exception (there are always outliers), they have all had a dramatic decline in their strokes gained since leaving the PGA and joining LIV.  What could be the cause?  Is it the fact that LIV is 54 instead of 72 holes?  No, their strokes gained are just as bad over those first three days.  Could it be that they’re not as comfortable in the pressure coo...

  Last Week           6/9           Season Total      108/153 If footy isn’t your thing (why are you reading this) then it was an absolute Smorgasbord of sport available to you on the weekend.   You could watch An LPGA Major event in France, The Tour de France, also in France , The Scottish Open golf, Wimbledon, The Cricket test in the West Indies or the Archery world titles in Spain .   It was a great weekend to be a recovering ankle surgerist, but probably the worst weekend to be his wife.   I do have to sing her praises.   Her and the kids did a bunch of weeding and all I could do was sit in a chair on the side with a beer and say helpful things like, “You missed a spot.”   And I sing her praises for allowing me to do that without committing an indictable offence.   This weekend the footy has The Open golf to contend with. ...

Last Week           8/9           Season Total      102/144 I’m back.  Well, sort of.  I’m still not terribly mobile and diligently doing my rehab to restore my ankle to its former glory.  But then, its former glory was as a relatively benign appendage underneath a repeatedly torn and largely useless calf.  Anyway, the surgery went well although I have discovered that clandestine government agencies should dispense with all the water boarding and electrifying genitals crap and just give their interrogation targets ankle surgery.  Not only was I in more pain than I would wish for, but the moon boot is possibly the most frustrating apparatus to contend with.  I see that my time travelling was pretty darn effective when it came to footy tipping.   Maybe I’ve found a way to defeat the problem with time travel.   When you go ...

Last Week           7/7           Season Total      94/135 It’s my second week in pugatory as I recover from ankle surgery so I am firing up the time machine to travel forward in time to see what’s cooking on the AFL calendar (I’ve written this before Round 14).   A considerable sense of relief accompanies the conclusion of the Bye’s. We now proceed with determining the final eight. I adhere strictly to the rule of not utilizing the time machine for future travel beyond what is absolutely necessary, and I abstain from seeking information that could be financially advantageous. My concern about creating a paradox leads me to avoid causing harm during my time travels, except in the case of Schrödinger's cats. The principle behind this whole time travel malarkey is that once one observes the future or opens the box, the waveform collapses, thereby altering t...
