Personally, I didn't bet because I didn't think I had an advantage picking the winner.

I totally agree that my advantage was slight, if there was one at all.
I could have (and probably should have) lied and said the randomizer ended up picking someone who I felt was weaker than Squiggs, but I decided not to. In the end, my entire strategy going into the match was wrong, and shot down by Girly. I was planning on using the language and phrasing of the questions and answers to give my opponent at little useful information as possible, as well trying to phrase things to force them to give me their password in a single question.
Since I spent all my effort thinking in this way, I didn't put enough effort into implementing a logical question sequence, so I wasted some questions even trying to implement the basic dividing strategy.
Either way, as Delgar pointed out, Squiggs used a very effective algorithm, and my rough math had me needing to get an answer in about 15 attempts or I would likely lose. I knew early on that I was behind that pace, which is why I tried to cut some corners and it sealed my fate by putting me even further behind. In the end, I was probably 6 questions away.
