Alternative NRL Round 4 Tips Method – Full Moons

NRL Footy Tipping continues this week, and congratulations for anyone picking the draw last weekend. If you had a bad week and wanted to take the easy path this weekend, then please accept our alternative NRL Round 4 tips.

Instead of allowing the competition admin to give you away teams for when you don’t care, why not take on board our weekly Alternative NRL Tipping method. Each week there will be a new theme, and occasionally it will have nothing to do with rugby league. Just the way we like it.

This week’s Alternative NRL Round 4 Tips is all about the full moon.

Since this weekend coincides with a Full Moon, and we have nothing better to use for alternative tips, we thought it is a good idea. Plus, they say the full moon can do strange things to certain people, so we’ll see who is potentially affected this weekend.

Our theory is that a team who has a better record on a weekend when there is a full moon is more likely to win this weekend. 

Or you could pick your own NRL Round 4 tips.

Alternative NRL Round 4 Tips – Full Moon

Here are the Alternative NRL Round 4 Tipping selections you need. Refer below for the method behind the madness.

METHOD

We got the all the teams results for any weekend in the past 5 years where a full moon occurred in that weekend. And whichever team has the highest win % gets the tip.

Why 5 years? Because when you are working out tips based on full moons, it would be really stupid to go back further than five years.

Interestingly Cats, Storms and Birds do best on a full moon weekend, whereas human mascots don’t fare that good at all. And it appears Queensland teams hate the full moon more. Perhaps it is because the moon is in the same time zone as the southern states in winter.
