I didn’t update last weekend, mostly due to the pressing nature of being lazy, so here’s a bumper update of the last fortnight.

For round four everyone played their joker on France apart from Alex (good call, Alex). For round 5, Dec and Dave picked Ireland, Alex and Ant picked France and I picked Wales. No one took a mulligan on round four so mulligans were automatically assigned for Dave and Ant on round 5 to save them most points leading to a final leaderboard of:

So, another glorious victory for me. All-in-all I think the jokers badly messed the table aorund this time, the points swings on them were huge, we’ll need to tweak those rules before next time…
Some statistical analysis to follow. Possibly.
For the first time we’ve had the joker come into useful play and it’s made a significant difference to the scores. That plus a cunning punt on Italy over Scotland has led to the following table…

Well the predictions have started fragmenting a bit this week. No one has any love for Wales and their golf-kart stealing inebriation, but the other games are split predictions as are the jokers.

Dec and I have both used our mulligans, jokers this week are:
Alex, Ant and I – France
Dec and Dave – Scotland
A bit of a shocker this week, and my first wrong prediction in terms of who was gonna win. Ireland were comprehensively spanked. Still, I imagine they can’t feel as bad as the Scots do.
Anyway, the terrible Ireland result has prompted both Dec and I to take our Mulligans. As a result, the standings are:

Everyone picked England as their joker, everyone has a mulligan available.

Pease seems to think that England will win by 12 at Croke Park. He is a nutter.

An improved performance by England, but they still lost. A similar thing could be said for Declan this week. Current leaderboard:

With the Six Nations beginning tomorrow, it seems an appropriate time to lose some money to Declan. Or someone else. But most likely Declan. Anyway, the rules of the game are simple:
Each person puts £10 in.
Winner takes all.
For each game pick a winner and by how many points.
+5 for the right winner
+10 for the exact right points difference
-1 for each points difference out
e.g. England vs Italy guess England win by 10 points.
If England win 23-13 – +15
If England win 23-12 – +4
If England win 23-15 – +4
If England lose 23-13 – -20
Winner is the one with the most overall points at the end.
Predictions for the first round are below:
