SPIN on Sportsline.com

The jokers over at Sportsline.com have these anti-expert picks, one done by a coin flip, one by a dog, etc. The funny thing is that about half the experts do worse than the SPIN picks. What I find fascinating is that the coin flip is about 50-50, but picking from a hat is only 40-60.

Yes, it makes you want to ask lots of questions about method: how high is the coin tossed vs. how much is the hat shaken (and does the hat have a potentially sticky lining or band which might prevent some papers from migrating into picking range?) But why, when they use an animal to pick, do they select a monkey (nasty smelly too much like humans to be forgiven for not being human)? I would watch a video of a guinea pig picking numbers (then eating them) for hours...

Btw, don't you have an important life event coming up in a few days? Why are you wasting time online?
