Why are women so good at predicting scores?

    Anyone else take part in Sky Sports Super 6? I scored 1 (again) but I have noticed that the top 15 list usually holds quite a few women. I would imagine the majority of people who take part would be men, so to have about 5+ women near the top I think that is quite a high percentage to have in that bracket. (Note, this is assuming that a considerable amount of men take part over women)

    Now it could well be that these women know their football, but my theory is that some of us try to think too logically and often get it wrong. Whereas women or those who don't adamantly follow football tend to get lucky with their unbiased guess.

    Therefore, from now on I will be getting my missus to choose the scores for me to see if it makes a difference. ;)

    Your thoughts?

    its weird how that works innit

    I used to play snooker, i would beat most of my mates most of the time.
    There is one mate who was shoite just tried to pot everything, and he would beat me

    same with darts

    maybe 'strategy' is not the way to go

    Aye, same with FIFA. I would play with my little niece and she would just boot the ball up the pitch every time she gets the ball. I can never get near the goal, strategy sucks.

    Blokes think with logic, the women just guess.
    Some you win, some you lose

    I went out with a girl who predicted the actual score of the first 4 games in a world cup many years ago.

    Then I put a bet on.
