Default No Good in Footy Tips??

Why is it every year I enter Footy tipping Comps of either code, I end up never winning??
Hawthorn beating Geelong WTF?????

And yet these guys and girls who have no interest or knowledge of either game end up winning???

Thats just the way it is. Every week you have to gamble on a couple of roughies if you expect to win.

I know what you mean though it can get frustrating.

Hawks actually arent that bad anymore either.

The Mighty Cowboys! What a game of football, I fell to my knees when newcastle grabbed that intercept try with 20 seconds to go. Was ready to smash the remote :hihi: But it turned out all good, that has to be the most satisfying victory since SOO 1 last year. But that was the only game I tipped so far for this round :

Rugby isn't football!

How often do you see them kick the ball?

Rugby bum sniffers. The game where one man pushing 2 men up 3 mens bums seems. Its a tough game, but don't you think they scrum is just a little ghey. They even had weirdo's who liked to stick fingers up other mens bums. Yes, Rugby league, its a game that has high standards. Well higher than most of those players education.

I usually tip all the home teams, but there's no exact science to it.

all you have to do is know your teams and know how well the players play against each other just line thme up see whos playing and you should be all right..

Football is Aussie Rules.
Soccer is not football its Soccer
Rugby union is rugby,
Rugby league is league

Now thats easy to remember
