All good things have to come to an end, and as such we are at the end of the 2008 home & away season. As goes the saying “it’s all relative”, and I suppose good is only defined by the fact your team doesn’t get flogged week in and week out. When all is said & done, the year in general hasn’t been too bad.
I’m afraid I can’t say the same for the poor, overconfident, humans over the past few weeks. To point out the stupidly obvious, I could have purposely stupid decisions to make the computer look better, but you’ll have to just trust me that I suck at tipping football games. So much so that I have managed a meager 25% hit rate so far. I will bravely continue on into the finals, but I would need a small miracle at this rate just to break even.
Without further a do, the tips for the last round of the 2008 home & away, and then launch into another finals campaign. This round looks to be one of the hardest I’ve seen in a while. On really little more than a hunch, I’m going to say that the Bulldogs will win over the Crows. My rationale??? I just think so. I really don’t have anything much better than that at the moment.
Currently:
Punter: 6/8 (75%)
