Footy Tipping Software

Finals Week       2/2           Finals Total                         2/8 I’m guessing now that it is “Opposites World”.   I tried to get my tips wrong but got them both right.   I’m also declaring Hokball dead.   It works when you play lesser teams but in the crunch of a footy final against a good side, you might get a small break, but its unsustainable nature means it’s a fruitless exercise.   Hawthorn got their break and then Dangerfield said enough is enough and turned in what I think is one of the greatest finals performances I have ever watched.   The talk out of the match of course is that Tom Stewart will miss the Grand Final due to concussion protocols after a crunching, and subsequently reviewed as illegal, tackle.   It was bound to happen eventually...

  Finals Week       0/2          Finals Total         0/6 Another disappointing week of football finals and another disappointing result from my tipping.   With only three matches left, the best I can do is get 33% and I think the best option for me now is to see if I can keep this going and go through the whole finals without tipping a winner.   Of course, I only have myself to blame by outing myself when I said that the games are too predictable.   But to be honest, I have been experimenting with this final series by tipping purely on feeling and not considering the stats at all, just to understand if my system really holds up.   Had I followed my system (which was outlined a couple of weeks ago) I would have 4 out of 6.   All of the action is off the field.   And I’m not just talking about the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo ...

  Finals Week       0/4          Finals Total         0/4 I got nothing right last week.   Zero out of four tips, really puts my finals tipping in a shambles which I won’t be able to recover from.   Creates a mockery of the 11-years of statistics I’ve been compiling just to get these games right.   How embarrassing.   It makes me wonder why I’ve spent, on average, 6 hours a week, compiling and analysing statistics like this.   Hopefully it is all data contributing to the growth and eventual dominance of our future AI overlords. As mentioned, I didn’t get to watch any of the footy as it was played, well, maybe half a match, but I would like to iterate what I was saying about how boring it is and that a game’s result is essentially decided in a single 8-10 minute burst. The other games are a little more complicated.  They have bursts w...

Finals Week        0/0           Finals Total                          0/0 What a great weekend it was.   The weather where I am was amazing.   After 25 grueling weeks of footy, I was able to get myself re-acquainted with a bunch of people I like to call Family.   I also ripped through my back garden and removed all of the winter detritus and weeds.   Some of them were so big, I had to call in an arborist and go through a council planning permission process in order to remove them.   I resurrected the pool, and the kids even went for a swim in it, before shivering, turning blue and getting a cold and a few days off school this week.   I still have the front garden to go, but that is a much bigger task with excavations, lawn replacement and (if the wife approves) t...
