TIPPING COMP TESTIMONIALS

(He's been tipping since 2001)

"It only took me a quarter of a century to hit the line but when I got there it was like Kingstown Town winning his first Cox Plate."

Dave R (aka Lionel Williamson)

TIPPING COMP TESTIMONIALS

"Late forward pass in Titans game cost me $1,000 but I’m not bitter or anything !  Happy to win something - it’s been a while."

(And responding to my question as to whether the day before money transfer had reached his bank account)

"Not only through but spent !"

TIPPING COMP TESTIMONIALS

(After leading through Rounds 18 and 19 in a COVID reduced 20 round competition and then running 4th)

"I was saying after round 19 I don't think I can lose all the scratch games ... very, very disappointed but thanks so much Fatcat, you run an awesome comp."

Greg N

TIPPING COMP TESTIMONIALS

"Thanks for another great year which has seen me regain - in my eyes at least - my tipping dignity with a fast finishing 15th !!"

Tony C

TIPPING COMP TESTIMONIALS

"It is great you are remembering my old boss Jeremy Gilling who was one of the most passionate sports fans I've known.  With the nickname ‘Boy Wonder’, he was a demon in office cricket, an honest trier in our lunch time touch footie team (usually sent off for dissent) and his compassion for the underdog was usually reflected in his sporting tips.  The Gilling Legacy is an apt one."

Greg N

TIPPING COMP TESTIMONIALS

"You have the best tipping comp around, far more interesting than anything else."

Chris R

"Oh wow, on both accounts.   Thank you - we’ll be back next year."

The Malones

TIPPING COMP TESTIMONIALS

(Our results are declared after 80 minutes.  Selections in a drawn game receive a point each so not sure how you "lose that bet" when they go to golden point as nothing changes ??)

"For f*#k sake ... bloody Newcastle and Dragons are in extra time so I f*#king lose that bet as well !!!!  Tell Fatcat this tipping comp is f*#ked."

an irate, feisty and somewhat confused Shea M

TIPPING COMP TESTIMONIALS

(After boldly and erroneously challenging his Rd 24 score)

"Although it means nothing in reality I aspire to end up as high as possible in this most prestigious comp.  I will aim to be as good as our current leader next year."

"Thanks mate for another enlightening year where I learnt that I am not as smart as my 6 year old and got my arse kicked !  See you next year."

Tony C

"I take this opportunity to thank you for enabling myself, my wife and grandson to participate in your competition.  Please convey best of luck to all the other people at the top and let them know I think I can still win it !"

Barry S

"Thank you once again for another great year."

The Malones

TIPPING COMP TESTIMONIALS

(After jumping up into a 3-way tie for 2nd place and collecting $833.34 on the back of hot favourites St.George losing their final game and, as a result, missing out on the finals series, the fair weather Dragons supporter who backed them preseason at 150/1 to win the premiership had the gall to say of others)

"I'm still not break-even yet.  I can't believe those guys picked St.George."

Danny D

TIPPING COMP TESTIMONIALS

(You make one mistake (!?) and the narks come out of the woodwork)

"Hey Mr Cat, I think you have next week's draw incorrect - the Broncos are playing St George."

the late Clive G

"Just when I thought I was going alright ... thanks for another 'enjoyable' season.  Cheers mate and see you soon."

THURSDAY 6th MARCH
FATCAT'S 'NRL TIPPING COMPETITION WITH A DIFFERENCE'

The Earlwood Social Golf & Euchre Club, a magnet for under-performing golf and euchre players from Earlwood and surrounds, is again hosting Fatcat's innovative 2. 'NRL Tipping Competition With A Difference'.  An $80 entry fee, which must be paid prior to the start of the competition, ensures participants a season of weekly angst.

There are a few things that make this competition stand apart from all the others.  The first is so very simple and yet fiendishly difficult - you don't make a selection in every game.  WTF !?!  On a normal weekend, you 'only' need to pick 3. 6 winners from any of the 8 games.  These 6 picks are known as your scratch selections.

Second, another class of selections is added to the mix - handicap selections.  The underdog in each game is given a points start and you must select a further 4 winners, again from any of the 8 games, taking the starts into account.

Besides the major prizes, there are 4. 11 opportunities during the season to win some cash.  And finally, Fatcat conducts an entertaining, professional and most importantly a transparent competition as evidenced by the fact last year nearly half of the tipsters (48 of 103) had been playing for 20 years or more and 66 had been involved for at least 10 years.

1. With Round 1 split over two weekends and the first two games being played in the US, the tipping competition will begin on Thursday, March 6, with the remaining 6 games

2. Although sharing sporting, pseudo-celebrity, gambling interests and greatly admiring the now defunct charity's business acumen and chutzpah, Fatcat's 'NRL Tipping Competition With A Difference' was regrettably never associated with The Shane Warne Foundation.  However, in a step up from registered charity status, the Earlwood Securities Exchange has accepted our bona fides as an accredited Tier 1 Ponzi Scheme

3. Too easy to just pick 6 scratch winners?  Last season, with 103 tipsters and 24 full rounds, there were only 30 occasions when all 6 selections won or about 1.2%

4. Based on the 2024 competition
