Topic: Receiving game odds from insane person to gamble. - page 4. (Read 1502 times)

I do not really have any clues if such topic or discussion already exist before and if there is any discussion of such nature before then you can call my attention to it. Although it is something that I feel we should discuss about with we hearing our opinion and experience and how the result was like if we have ever encountered such before.

I have heard many stories and people talking about getting game odds from unknown insane(mad) people and some say they get it from the ones they know and in some cases, the games turns out to be real with lots of testimonies. I personally have a friend who told me same thing too that there was a guy that lives within their street who got odds from an insane man close to a junction when he was about to board a cab. He said his friend was just passing by when the insane man stopped him and told him to check out the odds and he was very confused, furious and a bit angered but he too has heard things of that nature so he controlled himself and collected it, he played it and won a good amount of money. Winning such, he went scouting for the insane man so he could be able to reciprocate the goodwill but he could not see the man and he asked people around there and they told him that they've not seen the man for some days and he was told that the insane man has been there for some days before the occurrence but after their encounter that day he was no where to be found around that area.

I was wondering if any member here has had such experience before or they know somebody who has had such as well because to me it looks like something beyond the ordinary, it is unexplainable how an insane man would give odds to somebody to play and in some cases, they are unknown within the premises or environment were they have encounter and the odds turns out to be a good one. Sometimes people tell about being given odds in the dream to play and they do which turns out to a good one for them and all these keeps making me curious about these scenarios if it is ordinary or not, coupled with the superstitious believe and lots of other things they say.

I highly agree with you, the person won the bet only because of his own luck not because of that insane person.

I really don't believe in such superstitions, and the ones who believe in such things often end up losing money.

There's always chance that if someone follows words of such people then that person might end up losing a lot of money, and that's really possible.

It remains all superstition to me, one of the many superstitions surrounding gambling. If a madman can give correct predictions for a game, why has no shaman or prophet been able to give correct score predictions for several games?

Most times the people who tell this kind of story always claim to have heard it from another person; it is rarely a firsthand experience.

The fact that he played the game and won is nothing but luck and coincidence, there's also every possibility that he could have lose the bet if such luck was not meant to be.
