Tipping Manager is an innovative take on sports tipping. Put simply, you just need to tip one side a week rather than the whole round. But it's not quite as simple to win as you'd think. Every week, quite simply, you pick a team to win. You can't pick them every week, and you have to eventually pick them all. It's up to you how you pick them through the season. This is the companion app to the Tipping Manager site, allowing you to conveniently place your tips on the move. You will need to be a pre-existing member of Tipping Manager in order to use this app.
