The Head-to-Head Tipsters averaged just over 50% between them this week, the best haul being MoSSBODS_Marg’s 6 from 9 and the worst Home Sweet Home’s 2 from 9.

C_Marg bagged 5 and MoSHPlay_Marg 4 to leave a three-way tie at the top of the Leaderboard with scores of 23 from 45 (51%). Essentially, so far this year you’re quite likely to have tipped more winners than the bookmakers if your selection mechanism involved no more than a coin and a means by which to toss it.

The round’s best mean absolute error (MAE) of 43.8 points per game belonged to MoSSBODS_Marg again this week ahead of MoSHBODS_Marg’s 44.2 points per game and MoSHPlay_Marg’s 44.8 points per game.

Those results left MoSSBODS_Marg and MoSHBODS_Marg in 1st and 2nd positions overall, and lifted MoSHPlay_Marg up one spot into 8th.
