Twitter Fails to  Predict The Winner Of The Melbourne Cup

Whybin\TBWA brought back the Melbourne Twitter Cup for TAB in an attempt to see if Twitter could correctly predict the winner of the race that stops the nation.

Unfortunately, the race was something of an upset with Protectionist taking home the cup. The Melbourne Twitter Cup placed the horse third.

Last year Fiorente to correctly tipped to win. Best of three, TAB?
