    Probably a reasonable time (since the wheels are coming off) to admit I outsourced my tipping to Claude AI. I feed in the last three years of results, weighted for 2024 results, and take what it gives me verbatim.

    (Which is why you'll see some tips against the Blues).

    It's so much better at tipping than me, it's not funny.

      I've always been terrible at tipping, heart over head. It was an interesting experiment, be interesting to see if it rebounds, the smaller rounds fucked it.

        I suspect quite a few of us have been using AI for our tipping for years - Absolute Ignorance.

            Feed the AI Bot more context to try and fet the margins more accurate, lets see how it does.

                  All the results are up for the weekend https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/

                  Another tricky week for tipping - most tippers picked 3/4 but there were hardly any margin picks. The exception was @voodoo who had 3 maximums as well as 2 category picks for the best of 55. @sportboy passed 50 yet again picking 4/4 as did Fiamacho and @Hurrycanes. Worst was Rico#1 with just 7.5 and 1/4. Missing tippers were @Tim @Joan-and-Mary @frugby @SouthernMann

                  Overall Victor retains the lead with Waynes World half a point behind and Triple T just a point back in 3rd - it's very close at the top. Kirwan and Bart round out the top 5, Fiamacho is up to 7th.

                  Barbarians have probably already sealed their top 4 spot with their 9th win in a row but then there are 6 teams separated by just 7 points and fighting it our for the other play-off spots - South Island have 3 wins in 4 games after losing their first 5.

                  (@OomPB has already tipped early this morning before the new tipping form was made live - please resubmit now the new form is live)

                          The results are in - a much easier week for most of us. https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/

                          Amazingly @dogmeat was top scorer with 57, managing to nail 4 games with margins. 56 for @gt12 who picked 6/6 along with @BartMan @Dolamite @Duluth @rico1 & @Nevorian

                          @Waynes-World has hit the top spot by 4 from Triple T with Victor down to 3rd. Bart is up to 4th ahead of @Kirwan who continues his slow AI descent. Usual title contenders @hydro11 & @Winger are lurking in the top 10.

                          10 wins out of 10 for Barbarians and also wins for Blues B, SunJags and Canes Black who make up the top 4. SunJags lucky to be playing Blues A as both were down to just 4 tippers.

                          I'll sort out the Sequel Cup soon, have some ties from last week that need to be adjudicated first.

                            The Sequel Cup is updated now. You qualified for the 32 based on your score last weekend. 9 players tied on 25.5 and 7 of those went through when DK and Delicatessen picked against the Crusaders in game 1 this weekend. 15 through to the 2nd round and Langakali v OomPB is a replay, winner is the first to go ahead next weekend.

                              Might have to change the AI flavour. FFS.

                                The results are in for week 1 and the form is live for week 2 if you want to tip now to be sure you don't forget. https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/ has the leaderboard plus all the other stats across the tabs.

                                Early leaders are Dogmeat and Waynes World. Average tipping for Dogmeat but somehow he managed to pick all 4 of the categories for 20 points when around half the tippers pick zero categories. Waynes World with 3 maximums out of 6, beaten only by Victor and JL on debut who picked 4/6. Picking all 6 results correctly - 72% went 6/6.

                                50 tippers in all for week 1, only OomPB and frugby are playing as individuals as their chosen team was full - everyone else has been fitted in somewhere. Please try to keep playing all season as the team results were really close in the first week - wins for Barbarians who go top, SunJags, BOP Chiefs and Canes Black but all losing teams picked up a bonus point for within 7. An attacking bonus point is scored if your team had 3 or more maximums than the opposition - Barbarians and SunJags achieved that.

                                  another week, another round I forgot to tip, FFS

                                  I've just submitted tips for this week - thinking about tipping the remaining fixtures for the year over lunch...

                                    You're right - I show no respect to an experienced tipper who has won many tipping titles in the past.

                                      Exactly. I have elevated mediocrity to a science.

                                      and it's all my own work.
