Annual Wrap-Up
The computer got 124 winners (counting draws as a win) over the home and away season (70.5%) and with 5 correct out of 9 finals finished the season at just on 70% correct, and average margin of error under 28 points.
This was slightly better than its long term average and it performed well against the expert tipsters. In the Adelaide ABC web site where the predicted winners are published we easily beat all the other tipsters over the home and away season by several winners.Previously:
