The final week saw the two bookmakers jointly take mean absolute error (MAE) honours for all four metrics. That allowed the TAB to retake the season-long lead on Home Team Scores meaning that it finished first on Game Margins and Home Team Scores, and Sportsbet finished first on Away Team Scores and Game Totals.

The final leads were as follows:

Game Margins: TAB 1 point ahead of Sportsbet and 27 points ahead of MoSHBODS
Home Team Scores: the TAB 9 points ahead of MoSHBODS and 11 points ahead of Sportsbet
Away Team Scores: Sportsbet 7 points ahead of the TAB, and 81 points ahead of MoSHBODS
Game Totals: TAB 7 points ahead of Sportsbet, and 232 points ahead of MoSHBODS

Wagering and Game-by-Game Performance

There were no bets this weekend, so MoSHBODS finished at 26 and 22 against the TAB and 13 and 10 against Sportsbet.

MoSHBODS was on the wrong side of the TAB and Sportsbet in this week’s game, making its final record against the TAB to 104 from 218 (48%), and against Sportsbet to 101 from 218 (46%) for the season.

So, despite a worse than chance performance against both bookmakers, MoSHBODS was still able to pick winners and set stakes in such a way that a small profit was earned on unders/overs wagering.

The round-by-round performance is shown in the following table.
