by Well round 18 wasn`t too good for most of us!
Since the majority opted to go "according to form"...and
with the bookies, most people were quite surprised by some
of the results.
Only a few tipsters were brave enough to tip against the
odds, but for a handful this certainly paid off.
But only 3 people managed to get all 5 results correct
...Ian L, Ramses and Arthur. Ian L and Ramses got 9pts
leaving
ARTHUR as ***Tipster of t`Week" on 10pts
The rest of us scored mostly 5 or 6 pts, meaning that
there is very little movement in the Ladder this week,
although it has to be mentioned, sadly, that The Magician`s
heroic attempts to beat the odds have very sadly back-
fired and he is only just holding onto his top 6 position
by the skin of his teeth!
With quite a few important clashes coming up before
the Cup semi-finals at the end of this month, the
next few weeks could be crucial in the Ladder,
so....bestaluck to one and all
Cheers!
