It turns out, it may no be because she is much more skillful or more talented than you.

Be wary of Emily

A marketing agency by the name of Boutique based in the United Kingdom recently conducted a survey to find out which which member of their family was most likely to cheat in board games.

The result? The survey shows that the name 'Emily' would creep up more often than not, Unilad reported.

Apart from Emily, those named Mega, Hannah, Georgia and Claire were also most likely to pull a fast one on you.

As for the boys, those named Ashley were most likely to cheat, followed by William, Scott, Callum and Isaac.

To prove just how reliable the survey is, Unilad did their own research and spoke to three people named Emily, and they found that two out of the three Emilys have cheated in board games.

"I’m, like, the biggest cheat out there. When I was younger I used to fold the corner of the cards in 'The Game of Life' just so I knew which were the best ones – I’d therefore one million per cent agree with the study," an Emily from Liverpool told the news portal.

Another Emily, from Lancashire, also confessed to pulling a fast one while playing Monopoly.

"I’m not going to lie, I’ve cheated at Monopoly before and I don’t feel bad for it. Cheating is just to easy to do when you have sisters like mine – plus, winning is just such a good feeling," she was quoted as saying.
