My another post in the series - "How to beat the random distribution?", today - inspired by a contest organized by @ jozef230. I won 2nd place and 2 SBD!!
No idea how to bet?
The user I mentioned before has organized a small betting contest available here:
@jozef230/uefa-champions-league-competition-pool-6-sbd-konkurs-ligi-mistrzow-pula-6-sbd
I decided to take part, but I was not really familliar with situation on the Champions League, so I used a sports random generator available here to take my picks:

This generator works on a very good pseudo-random ISAAC generator, which I've described earlier:
@rafalski/my-cryptographic-isaac-lotto-generator-wins-more-money-than-players
This generator wins more than people in random games.
Eureka!
Experiment successful! Generating random matches got me 4/8 football games right - 4 points, taking second place in the competition and winning 2 SBD!

Conclusion
If you play/bet a game that has random factors in it(sport games too!), The generator will deliver!
