I think that giving tips on the answers is a personal decision. Some of us like to write those tips here before the deadline, while others don't. I understand both and it's not something anyone should question. Thus is not betting, it's competition. With betting providing tips doesn't hurt anyone while in a competition someone's tip can really make a difference. I remember few weeks ago when casperBGD shared a tip (I can't remember what it was about) and that helped me get one point because I used VAR in that question. It's great for me that he shared that tip, but it wasn't great for my opponent because he lost a point (he didn't see the tip).
Sharing a tip is fine by me as well, but all I'm saying is that the questions being asked are just about bringing exposure to a lot other sports, Trofo sharing websites to find valuable information about tennis is a tip, and a lot of us discussing the lot possibility of certain football matches and the likes are tips especially when we there these series of questions that had to do with teams line up it was about Man United, and they had a couple of injured players before the international, I'm sure that should be a popular discussion on this thread.
Football is easiest sport to make any research on, but I didn't do that for the Messi question initially too, because I didn't watch the against Ecuador but I saw the highlight of the game and Messi score very late into suggested to me that he was definitely available for the.
The last question that involved Messi scoring against an opponent in the MLS, I chose no, and that cost me, meanwhile my reason for going for no then was because Inter Miami were 4+ Odds underdog If I recall correctly.
Or just like some weeks back when a Tennis player had withdrew from a tournament some hour even before the weekly questions was available, the new was shared here and that's literally supposed to be a void question because technically the player didn't participate in tournament, in that case. Despite following this thread heavily, I did missed that question, and the CRO had to come up with a had decision because they weren't aware either.
So for context sake; sharing a tip is contrast to giving an already available answer to question, If anyone always have their bits to say about each game week question as tip, I'm sure I am of those who does it a lot on this thread.

And PS: As of the time I used my VAR there was no further information whatsoever available to me, It really was just gutsy call, based on the opponent and a hunch that it was likely an opportunity to give some players playing time in the NT.
