Think I need Wales to show up for the full house….

 

[BoyBrumby]

Think I need Wales to show up for the full house….

Gloating's a sign of insecurity, Moley. Stop it.

Nah, fair dos. Good effort.

 

[ripper868]

Yep, a Wales result for Mole is a full house, and as I incorrectly stated in the rugby thread, a mole full house is a burgey donut, the other way round is a 1 away for both.

 

[Molehill]

A victory for culture over Taylor ****ing Swift!!

That ****wit really does know **** all.

 

[ripper868]

Round 2 in the bag, he whispered calmly.
- Molehill with the first perfect round
- Burgey with the first imperfect round
- 4s and 3s across the rest (except Kenneth, but we won't mention it)

Molehill now level with our AI tipster Sell ALL at the top with a 2 point gap to the chasing pack on 7, 2 points further to Kenneth and Ash Bach, and 2 points again to Burgeinho and AI tipster Buy All.

Still anyone's to win it/lose it, minor title for the southern series looks to be heading to Mole Mansion, but anything can happen yet.








Please shout if you spot errors made with the tips!

Will get R3 up Monday or Tuesday.

 

[Molehill]

Apologies for my language last night, I'd had a few and was watching the football. Although, given it's roughly 64-1 to get all 6 right or wrong, it really does make Burgey a stupid ****!!

Interesting that Sell All is joint leader, the bookies clearly over-estimating the differences between teams in general.

 

[Burgey]

It's good to know I tip as badly on sports I know nothing about and don't look at as I do those about which I have an interest.

It's like being a libertarian - I might be completely **** and have terrible ideas, but apparently it's really important and virtuous to be consistently wrong about everything (except Joe Root and English cricket - both are properly ****).

Round 3, and final round of the Southern Series - Molehill's to fumble from here.

Very tempted by Italy tbh, but hoping Wallabies manage to put 2 halves of rugby together to make a (w)hole or two in Italy's defensive lines.
