Not a Round for the Highlights Reel

Sometimes, where sport's concerned, it's all about playing for the honourable draw  - though this is a concept that's clearly foreign to the Americans, who'd rather have 9 overtimes than see their team split the points  - and that's what it felt like for MAFL for most of this weekend.

Regrettably, most Investors finished with little honour and a little less cash.

Those with the Recommended Fund dropped just over 4% on the weekend, leaving them down about two-thirds of a percent on the season. Most other Investors dropped between about 3.5% and 9.5% across the weekend but still finished the weekend at least a little ahead. The exception was MIN#017 who made a smidge over 6.5% on the weekend to leave them down a tick over 3.7% on the season.

What hurt most Investors was the combined performance of the Hope, Chi-squared and Line Redux Funds that, amongst them, managed 0 wins from 6 bets, contrasting sharply with New Heritage's 5 from 6 and Prudence's 5 from 5.

Almost all tipsters performed well this weekend. In particular, CTL tipped the card and moved to joint-leadership on 42 from 64 alongside Shadow and BKB who themselves tipped 7 from 8. Others to tip 7 from 8 were Silhouette (now on 41), ELO (41), Ride Your Luck (40) and Chi (38). The round's worst tipsters were STM II and EI II who both managed just 4 from 8.

These generally strong tipping performances have left 8 of our 13 tipsters in profit (and 1 more at breakeven) on level-stake wagering across this round and last, and 5 tipsters at profit across the whole season.

On Line Betting, ELO managed 5 from 8, taking it to +1.72 units for the season and Chi managed just 4 from 8 to move to -9.33 units for the season.
