We all failed to crack the double digits again this week with the points on offer suggesting that this was the toughest round for tipping so far. @ vilafria nailed the SPAL - Cagliari scoreline and so was able to edge me for the bonus points and closes the gap to two on @ KensingtonSC who keeps the lead.

Looks like there really may be something to that saying that the house always wins in the end with aggregate scores below zero for the third time in a row. @ Afghan-Juventus and @ totti fan registered the only two scores in the black (6 correct results) with AJ edging me by picking the Bologna result to help maintain a well deserved lead.

Guessing the Napoli score right didn't help you much this round with everyone bar AJ getting it anyway. @ vilafria was the most distinguished this round getting the SPAL draw right and moves into second behind @ KensingtonSC who continues to go backward. These scores include WIN-DRAW-WIN values in the total.

Last call for:
@ KensingtonSC
@ TheAnswer1313
@ Il Ciuccio
@ Taib

 

Despite a reasonably tough few games to predict a few tipsters managed to put up some creditable performances. As always being able to accurately guess scorelines rather than results is what's important. @ TheAnswer1313 was the best at doing just that and so moves into second place. @ KensingtonSC had another solid round and so keeps the lead.
