I write this post with much haste this week as I have my girlfriend breathing down my neck to help her with a problem with some Java code. Ah, if only when some people had good ideas, they didn’t take their time to shut their mouth first and we may not be plagued with things such as Java. In principle a good idea, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such a thing that has going to be ‘the next big thing’ for such a long period of time, and still has not delivered on many of it’s promises. Anyhow, enough diverting from my woeful performance last weekend…
It’s official, I suck at tipping football games. My computer is conclusively beating the crap out of me after a few rounds, and if this continues on, I’ll be lucky if I can pick one game a year when I go to revise the ratios. Fair enough the computer is probably not as good as it seems, that would actually require to provide it some form of competition (i.e. not me) to fairly compare it to. In my defense, the Lions have dropped the ball for me over the last couple of weeks at the last second. I won’t make that mistake again this week …. I hope.
I think this first one is a fairly safe bet. I can’t see the Kangaroos getting up over the Bulldogs. Then I spy the Crows. A close game by Punter standards, but a gut feeling from me says Crows. I must say this messes with the head, as you wonder why th computer came up with the numbers and if there is some subtle facto that you are overlooking. Not worth dwelling on unless you want a headache. On that note, I’m also going to pick the Crows too.
Currently:
Punter: 4/4 (100%)
Me: 0/4 (0%)
My overrides this week:
Bulldogs to beat the Kanagroos
Crows to beat the Tigers
