Continuing our series of 2019 related pieces we bring back our much-loved forecasting competition – Tipstradamus 500 – the 2019 Sports Tipping contest.
When we say much-loved, that is quite the exaggeration, but our Tipstradamus sports tipping competition has been going for a few years now.
As ever, we wouldn’t have a 2019 Sports Tipping Competition without first offering up our opinion. And our selections follow for Tipstradamus 500.
Why 500? Because we have 50 sporting events, and we can pretend we are spending $10 on each event. And 500 sounds way better than 50. Most of these are selected as our 50 Sporting Events not to be missed in 2019.
Ambitiously, we also give our readers the opportunity to join in the Tipstradamus fun. At least comparing ours to the compeditors is usually very easy. But those who want in on our 2019 Sports Tipping Competition can use the Tipstradamus 500 template below, and email them to contact@thegurgler.com.
There could be a prize for the winner, but we’ll discuss that if there is an entrant.
Stay with us and marvel at our Tipstradamus 500 selections, where we have picked the bleeding obvious in a number of categories, obliging us to counter that with some big upsets that won’t win. It all rolls into our 2019 Sports Tipping Competition – Tipstradamus 500.
