Mr Vawser bought into tipping via his ardour for the Eagles, and whereas that is his first try at predicting the tumultuous Big Bash League, he’s predicting one other trophy-laden marketing campaign for the Scorchers.

“I just enjoy how my tipping compares with everyone else and how close I am.

“I will see how I go with it for the first time.”
