Sick of languishing at the bottom of your work, pub, or family tipping ladder?

It’s time to turn things around with these expert tips and tricks.

Here are the tipping sins to avoid, presented by SuperCoach Tips (tips.com.au).

ALWAYS TIPPING YOUR OWN TEAM

Supporting your beloved Penrith, Brisbane or Storm might feel right, but tipping with your heart instead of your head can cost you.

Don’t let loyalty be the reason you end up with the wooden spoon instead of the top prize.

ALWAYS TIPPING THE FAVOURITE

Sticking to favourites every round won’t secure you the win — especially with a few upsets bound to happen each season.

Remember those surprise victories, like the Warriors over Penrith, or the unexpected form teams that put in a big run to the finals?

Take calculated risks and differentiate your picks from the pack.

UNDERESTIMATING HOME GROUND ADVANTAGE

When in doubt, lean towards the home team — some venues provide a massive edge.

The Bulldogs turned their home ground into a fortress last season, while the Eels struggled to win on the road.

Factor this into your selections to gain the upper hand.

TIPPING BEFORE TEAMS HAVE DROPPED

Patience pays off.

Waiting until just before the first game to lock in your tips can give you a crucial edge.

Keep an eye on team announcements; a couple of key ins or outs could sway those 50-50 games.

FORGETTING TO TIP

Don’t rely on default settings to do the work for you.

In SuperCoach Tips, forgetting to tip can mean being stuck with the away teams and capping your correct picks at five.

Set reminders and stay in the game!
