Topic: Do you believe in psychic betting? - page 6. (Read 617 times)

I do not believe in psychic predictions when it comes to gambling. I take more of a realistic approach to things and assume situations like those mentioned are mere coincidence. For every 1 case that goes viral for being accurate, there are a thousand cases that did not work out and did not make headlines.

Paul the octopus was not the first animal that was linked to predictions and certainly not the last, but was the most successful, which brought a lot of attention to it.

The ridiculousness of the premise makes me not believe in it at all.

You're already in a situation where you can't even trust your own damn luck, so you're going to use other people's luck for yourself, but in your case you're literally depending upon an octopus's predictions, which by the way, I hate to break to you as much as you want to believe that they are smart, aren't aware of the concept of gambling. Although for the record, I might actually do it for kicks. Cause what else is funnier than betting on someone else's betting predictions. That's just outsourcing your winnings if I ever see one.

People would believe just anything! Even more if it coincidentally happens a couple of times. If I stake a bet or pick out lottery numbers and happen to be smoking crack while wearing a yellow shirt at that time and I happen to win, wouldn’t it be Christmas everyday if I continued smoking shit while wearing a yellow shirt and winning. But alas, it’s reality and you don’t get lucky everyday irrespective of whatever or wherever you think your inspiration for staking or picking out lottery numbers comes from.

LoL I remember Paul (r.i.p.). It is ridiculous to believe that shit can work. They put him on TV because stupid shit like that attract views. It is like watching people acting retarded on youtube. You hate to watch them but you can't ignore them either and that'e exactly what they want from you. Gambling is about mathematics and math is a science. Psychic crap ain't no science so it can't guess the winners in any way. If any of these so called "psychics" are somehow making any good bets, they are only lucky and that's about it.

No, I'm not really on board with all that paranormal stuff.  Don't get me wrong, I've heard some pretty crazy anecdotes about it.  However, banking on extrasensory abilities or believing wackos possess special awareness for betting purposes? Give me a break.  Thats just not how I operate.  I prefer playing the odds and trusting the hard data.

The gambling will give the good profit to the people all the time,the lottery was the jackpot which give huge profit to the person who involved.But we can’t predict the lottery results because the winner number will be low.But the amount of dollars received by the each winner is huge compared to the other gamblers received from other games in the gambling site.This 1.7M will be the more dollar compared to the other win from the Blackjack in any gambling site.For this reason the old gambler will choose Jackpot lottery compared to the blackjack and poker games in other gambling sites.

It really works as long as it is supernatural but some persons has really come to play it a role of pretence that has the such supernatural gift of hallucinating while they gives false ful incantations as means of extorting people whereas... They demands a pay before revealing what their revelations could be but it is all FALSE.
There are genuine psychic persons who could give perfect of such predictions but they are are rare.

Yup, this is the first thing that comes to my mind, animals predicting the outcome of the football game. So it's either you believed them or not, sort of a superstitious believed as more of us gamblers are very superstitious individuals.

So for me, this could be just mere coincidence, I mean it's a 50/50 chance that the animals might predict the correct winner. But it's better to rely on our own intuition and analysis rather that rely on someone, even a person or individual to predict the winner.

Sports betting is not a random activity to risk a certain amount of money. Because there is integrity, quality, quantity and also causality at stake. And if you bet without using a certain technique or method to win, then there will only be defeat.
And indeed, in some areas, for example, if this betting doesn't use mystical things, it feels like something is missing. And sometimes there are myths about being able to win the lottery or sports betting, sometimes they don't make sense.

Personally, when it comes to this, I believe or don't believe it. I don't believe it because a fortune teller, psychic and shaman very rarely watches football shows and how could he possibly predict the outcome of a match if he had never seen a match before. And what makes me believe it is, but how come even without doing a long analysis, how come the guess is in line with the final result? I don't know, I don't quite understand this either.

Absolutely not, I think physic betting is bullshit if I am perfectly honest. This kind of stuff is psycho-babble, hocus pocus nonsense.

Often media pick up on something dumb like a pig that predicts the outcome of knockout football games but it’s a load of rubbish.

For lottery number combinations then i do heard off with some winners specially on those 3 digit lottery type that they do able to dream up those number combinations and this is why they do really make out some betting on what they had dreamt out. This is something a kind of approach where those bettors would really be definitely do on which on the time that they have dream on something specially on numbers then they would be giving out some meaning. I dont believe that someone could easily memorize the numbers on their own dreams considering that dreams arent something that you could able to remember on, on the time that
you wake up. This is something that really that unbelievable on this part but if they do won up jackpots because of this then i might say it is really just that coincidence or really just that those wins is really
just that meant for him/her.

Speaking about placing up sports bet or something those events that would happen in the future like those situations then it is something that could really be learnt up
or something that we could be able to make some research. This is why i dont really believe much when it comes to those psychic betting or whatsoever.

i would believe it if Fatih Ozcan also predicted that he'd be working in that Turkish restaurant before he advised his boss to buy a lottery ticket. if he hadn't seen that coming, then it's just coincidental.  because anyone with such kind of psycho ability, they would have been winning the entire year and would not just win half of 1.7M.
Fatih would have been rubbing elbows with Erdogan if he used it properly.

i also remember that Octopus. didn't the owner grilled that octopus to crisp when the owner bet and lost?

Indeed.
If you want to bet with dreams and other superstitions then that would be fine; trying is better than to not try at all. At first these instances are just coincidence in my perspectibe but it is more likely has something to do with luck and is not something happening with our own likeness 'coz if it is possible to do so, then many people should be rich by now. It could also be driven by frustration if you happened to keep on losing for a long period of time. One thing is for sure; manipulation is more likely to happen than with gamblers being psychic with their bets.

If there's one thing I believe, that's the fact that beyond the physical world that we see there's a spiritual/supernatural one that we can't see and activities that we are not aware of go on there all the time. If those predictions only occured once or twice then we can believe them to be just mere coincidence or they guessed correctly. But that's not the case here, these are multiple occurrences, we hear reports all the time about these psychic predictions and how they prove to be true, you can't just decide not to believe in those occurrences simply because you tell yourself not to believe in superstitions or maybe your religion speaks against such beliefs.

Back when I was in College, around my second year, I also had a dream where I saw that a team called monchengladbach won their game against their opponents. I e never heard about the team before not until I woke up and looked them up and saw there was a team like that and they had a game the next day. That was more than just a coincidence, I've heard about people seeing predictions in their dreams, I felt thise was mine. Back then I had not even stated gambling. That was my first gamble ever. The next day I told a few friends about it and asked anyone who was interested to join me but they all disregarded it and didn't join me, only one of them secretly went to stake the game without telling anyone. I used my savings which was over $300 and to stake the game, although their odds of winning the game was very slim but it didn't scare me. I staked the game and they did actually win the match and I made over $1k that day and everyone who didn't join regretted, and they nicknamed me Joseph the dreamer. I can never forget that experience, so if you ask me if I believe in psychic predictions, yes I do believe and I've also experienced it too.

I remember that period. It was mad. The octopus was more like the most recognized animal on the planet. I am sure that the octopus would have been in like for a nomination of some award.

The reality is that these things are just superstition. I keep asking if they can predict things, why aren't they as wealthy the billionaires through their psychic powers

In gambling, superstitions and metaphysics don't work.

I remember the story of the Octopus predicting the winner of Fifa but I consider it a mere coincidence nothing else for the record even the Octopus got 2 predictions wrong out of 14 which says what is the reality and I don't really dream about betting but only about big melons all the time, not sure why though.

But we all have some kind of superstition thing to do when we want to do something, like wearing a lucky shirt for an interview or holding the same spot when you want your team to win, and so on.

This thing is real! My first bet and first win was a game given to me in the dream. I never believed it so I had to play with small amount of money and got very outrageous winning in a jackpot. This was even what lured me into gambling.

Although, psychic betting works but it also has its weak side because it is not always 100% accurate. Another thing is that our curiosity can give us false images that can be erroneously interpreted.

Finally, I believe its a special gift... there are people whose their's work while there are those whose their's tale the opposite.

For such lotteries to win them I think there is no psychic involved,if that is decided by God and is written down for you that you will win that huge amount you are going to win that huge amount.Most people are intrigued by such wishful thinking as that is what it is for me and they relate their dreams to such happening.I do not believe in the power of the dreams (Honda does as they have it as a slogan) and I think dreams are our sub conscience which tell us in this case to play exactly those number.Also the Octopus was famous in World Cup but I don't think it needed that much choice,usually strange enough he was picking favorites.

Psychic betting is placing bets based on the prediction of individuals or even animals because of the belief that they possess supernatural power to accurately determine the outcome of a bet. There is the true story of Fatih Ozcan[1] who helped his boss Hayati Kucukkoylu to win a $1.7 million lottery through the power of dreams. He claimed that he received the revelation about the Euro Millions tickets from his dreams. There is also Paul the Psychic Octopus [2] who is known to predict international football games correctly. He even predicted correctly that Spain would win the  2010 FIFA World Cup. Some persons also believe in the gambling predictions of religious leaders [3] to place bets. Some people believe that lunatics are possessed by some supernatural powers so they also depend on them for predictions.

Do you take these Psychic predictions seriously?
