Odds of winning a tipping comp with 12 people = 1/12 = 8.33%
Odds of winning 2 such comps in a row = 1/12 * 1/12 = 1/144 = 0.69%
Odds of winning 3 in a row = 1/12 * 1/12 * 1/12 = 1/1728 = 0.05%
Odds of winning 4 in a row = 1/12 * 1/12 * 1/12 * 1/12 = 1/20736 = Something close to impossible.

Now folks this is what I have already achieved.
And this is why I know I have more knowledge than all of you put together when it comes to the A league.

And now I am looking good for a fifth.

Do not let me win again.
That would be just insane.

what are you ranked overall on the whole website? 

Number 1 I would think if you did all 5 comps combined.
Anybody can win a one off tipping comp. That does not really prove much. Just that you had a good run.
Winning 2, 3, 4 ... etc (even if using a  much much smaller pool of people) says a lot more about your ability.
It is like making a multi bet all at long odds and it coming in. You need to have skill rather than luck.

Nobody on this site will ever win 4 in a row again. I am the G.O.A.T.

How bloody good am I.
Only person to have not tipped a 0 or 1.
Lowest goal difference.
Would be on top if not for the bonus points so it is only a matter of time till I nail one and take the lead.
Come on guys get your act together. It is killing me that I am looking the goods again.
Nobody (not even me) should win 5 tipping comps in a row!

A difficult week for tipping.
I was so close to making my 1st ever bet. MV to beat MC. I still tipped MC but the odds made MV a very interesting bet. Next time perhaps I will show some more balls.

Better than anybody on this site.
The skill is not how you do in 1 year.
The skill is doing well every year.
I am 4 from 4 and in with a great chance of 5 from 5.
Odds of doing that are longer than 1/10*1/10*1/10*1/10*1/10. So better than 1 in 100,000.

So yeap I am the G.O.A.T. as nobody will every win 4 in a row on this site. I may not win this year but do you think anybody else will ever get 4 in a row?

Read it and weep loser. Did you enter the FTBL comp or are you just a gutless wonder with no cred like so many others on this site. All talk but never put their name on the line. Bok Bok.

I am Bluey on the tipping site, I am in other tipping comps and thats my nickname.  I have been a member of the forum tipping comp since it was started by Stifflers Mom.  Its a bit of fun.  

On your estimation of the probabilities of winning each year.  If the pool of tippers stays the same, as it does with the members of this comp, year on year, your probability of repeating the result is actually quite high and no where near the long odds you quote.  Probabilities for random results is significantly different from skill based forecasting.  Its a bit like the golden boot in the Aleague.  If you win it one year, you have a much higher probability of winning the next year, over say another player who may be a goal keeper.  In fact the FTBL is a lot more skewed than that.  There are lots of strikers in the HAL and they come and go and may get injured.  In the FTBL the tippers stay largely the same, so on balance the results should stay largely the same.  Which explains why I came second several years in a row to the same guy Milan7.  Although I do agree 5 from 5 would be a relatively excellent result, albeit in a small field and importantly we arent playing for money.

I am Bluey on the tipping site, I am in other tipping comps and thats my nickname.  I have been a member of the forum tipping comp since it was started by Stifflers Mom.  Its a bit of fun.  

On your estimation of the probabilities of winning each year.  If the pool of tippers stays the same, as it does with the members of this comp, year on year, your probability of repeating the result is actually quite high and no where near the long odds you quote.  Probabilities for random results is significantly different from skill based forecasting.  Its a bit like the golden boot in the Aleague.  If you win it one year, you have a much higher probability of winning the next year, over say another player who may be a goal keeper.  In fact the FTBL is a lot more skewed than that.  There are lots of strikers in the HAL and they come and go and may get injured.  In the FTBL the tippers stay largely the same, so on balance the results should stay largely the same.  Which explains why I came second several years in a row to the same guy Milan7.  Although I do agree 5 from 5 would be a relatively excellent result, albeit in a small field and importantly we arent playing for money.  

Me. 4 from 4 as a WINNER.
The leagues have all had more than 10 (except maybe the woman world cup). So my odds estimate is actually lower than what I have achieved. My results are more like 1 in 150,000. 
And your results are a couple of seconds from more attempts?
Not very impressive for somebody who has the cheek to have a go at my results. Perhaps best just to bow to the  smartest person on here rather than  to have a go at the G.O.A.T. 
But hey at least you have been trying. That is better than most of the wimps on this site who think they know something but are too afraid to put there name on the tipping. What gutless wonders they all are!

Those bonus points are critical. I have tipped the most winners but am second as I have not landed as many bonus points as others including the leader.
If it comes down to a draw I am looking good due to my vastly superior goal difference.

Are you game enough to tip MV again this week?

Yeap, it is a difficult one to pick.
There is also a lot at stake for both teams. The winner will take a big step towards making finals, the loser will find making finals difficult.

No tie.
I'm winning.
My goal difference will not be caught this season so everybody needs to tip more winners if they want what I have already achieved.
