2026 - Round 2 Results - A Little Disappointed
/The early bookmaker favourites won five of the week’s seven contests, and the very low levels of contrarian head-to-head tipping meant that only Home Sweet Home (4) and Consult The Ladder (3) scored other than five.
That left MARS_Marg still two tips ahead of the field and now on on 17 from 21 (81%), and MoSHPlay_Marg on 15 from 21 (71%) in second ahead of a chasing pack one tip further back and comprising all of the remaining Tipsters except Consult The Ladder.
The all-Tipster average score came in at 4.7 from 7, taking the season figure to 14.1 from 21 (67%).
Margin prediction performances were again excellent this week, with mean absolute errors (MAEs) ranging from Bookie_3’s best of 22.1 points per game to MoSHPlay_Marg’s worst of 26.5 points per game.
Bookie_3 now leads on 26.3 points per game for the season, a little ahead Bookie_Hcap and ENS_Linear. MoSHPlay_Marg has dropped to last place.
The all-Predictor average for the round was was 24.7 points per game, which took the season-long figure to 27.2 points per game.
Log probability scores were all positive this week and best for MoSHPlay_Prob, which was enough to see it take top spot on the Leaderboard ahead of MARS_Prob. MoSHBODS_Prob lies third, and Bookie_OE still last.
WAGERING
The Eagles were again a collect for Investors, but their contribution, along with an equally modest one from an unders bet wasn’t enough to stave off the season’s first loss.
That loss amounted to 4c, which left the Combined Portfolio now up by only 4.4c on a +13% ROI and a 0.34 turn.
