For as long as I can remember I've asked the boy who will win the Friday night football matches. More often than not we disagree on the winner and the boy usually chooses correctly. It's bugged me for a while so I've decided to enter him in an online footy tipping competition that I'm also a member of. Let's see over the course of a year who is the better tipper.
Round one - the boy picks six out of eight which is pretty good going. At the last moment I changed two of my tips, from winners to losers, and only picked four winners for the weekend. So, I'm already two behind him. I tell myself that it's a long season and there's plenty of time but who am I trying to kid? I'm being shown up by my seven year old. He's also in a tipping competition with myself and my mate Bill where we play for $2/week. So he's picked up $4 for his first week of tipping and thinks that this is so easy. I have introduced another bighead to the world.

Top AFL Tipper Of The Week
Last weekend I tipped 8/8 for the AFL. It's the first time this season, in 17 rounds, that this has happened. It's been a pretty sad year really for tipping. The competition is hard to pick and some lesser-known teams are shining at present. I thought that I would be up there with the best in the AFL Footy Tipping competition. After that great result I am now ranked 57,622 out of 163,971 tippers in the 2007 AFL home and away season. Surely the weekly result must have been right up there? Taking into account the margin game from the Friday night, which was a blow out when I had expected a tight contest, and my ranking, I came in at a lowly 1093rd best for the weekly tipping. A total of 1576 people scored 8/8 for the round.
Some of the people ranked higher than me for the round scoring eight had names like "I hate footy tipping", "Go Dees", "bomber boy", "Colinrearbum", "russianbabe", "imhot" and "boof". The names people call themselves cracks me up.
