All of the nine early-week favourites were successful this weekend, so, once again, contrarianism was the only reason not to tip the card.

Consult the Ladder was a one-game contrarian, and Home Sweet Home a five-game contrarian, meaning that the seven top Head-to-Head Predictors bagged 9 from 9 while Consult the Ladder bagged 8 and Home Sweet Home just 4.

All of which meant that MoSHPlay_Marg finished still leading Bookie Knows Best by two tips, with ENS_Linear still three tips behind Bookie Knows Best in 3rd.

The all-Tipster score came in at 8.3 from 9, which took the season-long all-Tipster performance to 99.3 from 143 (69%).

Margin prediction was, on average, over 10 points per game easier this week, and easiest once again for Bookie_3, whose mean average error (MAE) of 11.4 points per game was almost two points per game better than next best ENS_Linear’s 13.2 points per game. Bookie_9 recorded the worst MAE of 18.6 points per game.

The all-Predictor average was 15.3 points per game, which moved the season-long average to 26.5 points per game.

The round-by-round history of Margin Predictor rankings appears below, and shows, amongst other things, MoSHPlay_Marg climbing back into 5th and an unchanged Top3 of ENS_Linear, Bookie_3, and Bookie_LPSO.
