Hmm – Reader going for the “All Away Wins except for Italy” strategy….
Dewi ,
This thread looks to me like a lot of laughter with all those hahas and ahahaha but i don’t see the joke or punchline ?
Sure we all know that Ireland are going to win the championship yet again
?
I’ll have a bash at the week end at the numbers but for the weekend coming up I’ll go HHA for games 1.2, and 3 with 110 points .
Best of luck at Twickers pity about Lee Byrne though.
I did comsider going for all draws
Dewi: Hmm – Reader going for the “All Away Wins except for Italy” strategy….
I should maybe have looked at the Scotland games too. But, 3 times as many points for an away win as for a home win! And home wins surely aren’t three times as likely. I know a bit more about maths than Rugby.
By the way, my past experiences in prediction competitions suggest that Italy will proceed to carry all before them this year.
reader,
Replace that crystal ball quickly before you do yourself any more damage
GF -I got a process mun – predict all to get in the game. Reader – I know a lot about Maths and Rugby and it’s a fine balance…
For info:
Six Nations 200-2009.
Games Played 150
Home Wins 89
Away Wins 59 (of which 20 involved Italy in Rome)
Draws 2
..and on average Reader’s strategy of all away wins apart from Italy would realise 21 points. For reference last year’s winner in work got 23..
