So, you know how I'm doing work footy tipping and really suck at it?

Well I changed my strategy to always pick the ugliest team flag (rather than the prettiest) and did so much better that I actually won the tipping for a particular week. It must admit was a lot of fun telling people how I chose the teams when they asked how I'd guessed such unlikely winners correctly :D I went from being the worst tipper by a huge margin to second from the bottom! The ignomy! Look how much less worse I'm doing overall!:



Still, at least I've sunk back down to bottom of the work ladder again now. I'm much more comfortable there.

So, my work runs footy tipping, and pretty much everyone does it. Being even more sport phobic than your average nerd (seriously, I'm incredibly unco, I've come last in every athletic competiton I ever competed in) I resisted for quite a while but everyone was like "It's not like real sport. Even with random gueses you're bound to win a prize eventually. And c'mon..mathsiness!"

So, under protest, I joined in, and ranked teams based on the prettiness of their flags.

And this is the result:


And I'd be lower, but I keep forgetting to tip and so get given the baseline score of 4/8 (when I guess I tend to get 2/8. Yes, worse than random chance)

I'm quite proud of myself really :)
