What makes it more likely that your first block ends up the next head and you're not wasting your own time on the second one if someone beats you to the first one while you're holding off?

For an arbitrary block, nothing.

It doesn't have to be arbitrary. You know when a block was "lucky" and you found it ahead of average by a given percentile. You leverage those blocks.
