Once again, six of the seven early-week favourites won this week, but Bookie Knows Best, ENS_Linear, and RSMP_Weighted were the only Head-to-Head Tipsters recording that score, which allowed Bookie Knows Best and ENS_Linear to take a three tip lead over the field. They are now on 96.5 from 128 (75%) with MARS_Marg and RSMP_Weighted three tips further back on 93.5.

The all-Tipster average score came in at 5.1 from 7, taking the season-long figure to 90.2 from 128 (70%).

Margin prediction was, on average, a little easier this week, with mean absolute errors (MAEs) ranging from RSMP_Simple’s best of 13 points per game to Bookie_9’s worst of 25.3 points per game.

Despite that bottom-of-the-table result, Bookie_9 still heads the Leaderboard, but now only by just under four goals from Bookie_Hcap, who is a further 2 points ahead of Bookie_LPSO. MoSHPlay_Marg remains in last place, but is now less than 30 goals behind the leader.

The all-Predictor average for the round was 13.9 points per game, which took the season-long figure to 25.8 points per game.

Log probability scores were all moderately positive and very similar this week, with the best from Bookie_RE and the worst from MARS_Prob. Bookie_LPSO still holds top spot on the Leaderboard, with MoSHBODS_Prob still in second, and Bookie_RE in third. MARS_Prob remains in last place.

WAGERING

Wagering was very subdued this week, and an unsuccessful wager on the Saints in the last game confirmed a small loss for Investors.
