6/8 times I watch England play cricket, they lose (the other two they draw) - but overall their record over that period is miles better.

Every time (coming up for 20 now) that I get the DLR from London City airport, whatever time I arrive I have to wait 7 minutes for the next train. They go every 10 minutes.

I win at least 80% of the teams matches I play, but have a 0/4 record at the house of one of my regular team-mates.

What are the odds of meeting someone without any anti-percentage happenings to their name?

German Railway claims 90% of their trains arrive on time. I happen to catch the other 10% rather frequently :P

Zero. Having no anti-percentage happenings to your name is very anti-percentage.

I claim the record of most boards without declaring one - 63. This included two consecutive sessions and I wasn't doing it deliberately.

The customers of the Deutsche Bundesbahn say that the probability
of price increase for tickets every few months..... is about 99,9% :D

50% of the time I am good
40% of the time I am bad
the other 15% I am a liar

I attend 17 Swans (AFL) games over 3 seasons and they win.....zero of those games including managing to lose by 30 points when leading 48-0......

I accept that I am Jeremiah and do not go to any more games (consoling myself by watching on TV)- so last year they win the premiership...., a mere 72 years since their previous win -sheer luck or taking me out of the equation?

It's not that I'm paranoid - it's just that they're all out to get me....
