Psychic betting. Is this even a thing? I think we are making betting more complicated by coming up with some terms. Betting is a serious business this I know but still I believe we should be able to enjoy betting in it's simplicity.
There should be nothing like psychic betting, betting isn't a mind game, it's more about logic and reasoning.
Ehh people would do anything for a bit of fame and marketing really. Tiktok made that a lot more apparent really. And yeah, they're making it not really complicated, but rather unreachable by common understanding so that they can take advantage of people.
Paul the Psychic Octopus was very popular in 2010, I remember how every television was making reports about that Octopus. Btw I think that those predictions were a result of pure luck. According to math, there is a chance for everything to happen. Despite the fact that the chance of Octopus guessing the correct football matches is extremely low, it's still possible, so that's why I don't call that event a miracle.
The only reason why psychic betting is successful is that it's luck against luck. In gambling, I believe that you can beat math with luck, not with a strategy, that's why newbie gamblers always win and when they start building strategies, they start losing.
And it was a 12/14 lol. As always in math and statistics, the higher the number of tests, the better the accuracy of it. I reckon if they did predictions for every team Paul wouldn't be that good. Not to mention they could've rigged the process in the first place! It's an octopus, they can just provide something it wants on the container they wanted it to go to.
