First topic message reminder :

This is the place to post your selections for week 5. mr-bryns-attitude has a 33 point lead going into the final three games from mystiroakey and Eclipse back in joint second. This competition is far from over though with all three games this week capable of going either way. This is probably the toughest week for the predictions so far.

ok had to use a stasitical approach for predicting wales v england, because emotion was overriding me.- which has gone in wales's favour- id rather loose of course!!

england 18 - wales 23
ireland 23 - italy 12
scotland 16 - france 23

by miteyironpaw Thu Feb 23, 2012 3:58 pm

Was your statistical approach called "reverse what beshocked thought"?

by mystiroakey Thu Feb 23, 2012 4:00 pm

that actually may have been a pretty good way of doing it in honesty!

How did you work out your england wales prediction?

by miteyironpaw Thu Feb 23, 2012 4:02 pm

It came to me in a premonition.

I'm never wrong with my premonitions.

I have a long and proud history of visions that predict unlikely scores almost exactly.

Did you notice you picked all the winners to score 23 points?

by mystiroakey Thu Feb 23, 2012 4:07 pm

basically i used the top 15 or so peoples prediction in the last 2 weeks on england and wales scores, i worked out the average and how wrong they/we were- i then selected the scores that people predicted this time around and adjusted them by the average we got them wrong before- its not gonna work - however its the only way i justify chosing wales to beat us!!

i debated going more invloved- then i just got bored and ended up with 18-23

by mystiroakey Thu Feb 23, 2012 4:09 pm

"Did you notice you picked all the winners to score 23 points?"

blimey i didnt lol- the last two picks were just from the heart- 23 must have got to me abit

Ah dang forgot to do it again Sad

France 22-23 Scotland

I dont really expect Scotland to win but I hope they do us a favour and beat France to take them out of the grand slam equation.

my double or nothing bet looks good mitey:)

still weighing mine up

It's all foretold mystiroakey, no point in fighting it, I had a premonition. Actually I'm sure Wales will score late on, but I 37-5 was the scoreline I saw, so I'm sticking with it. It's never been wrong in the past, except maybe a couple of points.

Not the most accurate premonition then Laugh

Very impressive. Only 88 points for me this weekend. That's top spot gone I reckon.

Balls, only 78 this time. Good job I called the last two pretty well.

by Eclipse Mon Feb 27, 2012 11:28 am

Mr Bryn is going to be hard to beat after that performance. By my reckoning he's on 297 points. I haven't been sad enough to look at all the predictions but I think he's comfortably clear at the top. Someone will need to get a spot on prediction or maybe even 2 just to catch him if he keeps up this form.

Continuing my decent form

Should keep me up there, its all about the spot on scores though to be in the elite group though.

Are you keeping previous predictions for the France Ireland game or are folk allowed to rebid on that?

73 I think. Don't quote me though!

Thanks Eclipse I went for the risky Scotland won - scores almost right though? Can someone confirm this as it woud put me around 228 which might be top 10 going into the business end of the championship thumbsup

by Eclipse Mon Feb 27, 2012 1:04 pm

No worries Ruby. I bet you were almost counting the points for a Scottish win at one point. If they'd have won it would have been worth the risk. I reckon you'd be top or pretty close.

Then only 13 for the last game. An awful 64 in total Sad

Just an update.

This week sees the rearranged game of France v Ireland. All previous predictions will stand. If you do want to make a new prediction just add it in a new post below.

I will put up the week 3 table and the updated overall leaderboard later today (Wednesday).

by eirebilly Wed Feb 29, 2012 7:34 am

I am changing my original prediction based on the last games Ireland and France have played.

France 23 - 28 Ireland

Very Happy

by mpc28 Wed Feb 29, 2012 7:38 am

France 29 - 21 Ireland

by overlordofthewest Wed Feb 29, 2012 7:52 am

Even though I think my original prediction to be wrong, I'm going to stick with it. Simply because if I change it and it turns out it was right I'll be kicking myself.

by RubyGuby Wed Feb 29, 2012 9:21 am

Anyone able to collate the overall table after 3 games thumbsup
