We’re back for another season of Tipple with This Week In Tipple Sports, the weekly blog where we run through Kieran, Will and Schoey’s picks for the upcoming week, and review the successes, or failures (mostly failures), of the week before.

It’s going to be another exciting season and with so many new people joining Tipple it’s safe to say that the top 50 Global placement for Will is going to be much harder to match. Read on for our first Gameweek’s picks…

Big Bet

BOLTON VS PRESTON (3 Draws)

Kieran (Draw): I mean to be honest I have wimped out a little here, the draw on the Big Bet for those of you new to tipple is quite a popular pick due to the maximum points available and the closeness of the games making it almost impossible to decide usually. However, it can backfire, many a Big Bet have seen 3 or 4 goal differences either way, so this can sometimes be a dangerous play. I am hoping for a big starting week though, I can’t be the creator of Tipple and be shit at the game forever…surely?
