Topic: Receiving game odds from insane person to gamble. - page 4. (Read 559 times)

Stories of an insane person giving some bet odds to gamblers for their wins would easily make headlines news if the bets were to predicted correctly but the ones the insane people made a wrong prediction, would not be talked about because having some game odds from an insane person and expect a win is an insane act.

Many of us as humans, easily spread news of what is thought to be impossible happens to them. They won't in the same hand spread the news when something bad happened to them.

If your friend has had a wrong bet given to him by the madman, he won't have talked about his encounter with the madman with you, he would let it die off because it's not worth talking about. Now, he has won, he's sharing the experience with you. Making you believe such a thing works, while it doesn't always.

However, receiving game bets from an insane person can be a loss bet also I have seen it happen countless times when someone thought the bets given to them by a mad being would be sure bets, and they end up losing. They really don't talk about it to people because they will call them stupid for thinking that receiving bets odds from a mad person would work as their gambling win

In life anything is possible.

We don't have the full details of the story to know the level of insanity the OP was referring to. There Bipolar disorder is a type of insanity. People who suffer from it have extreme move swings, yet they are able to function to a level just like other regular humans. But people who are sufferring from schizophrenia don't have control of their cognitive functions. Aside these two, there are other categories of abnormal disorders which lay people like us would simply classify as "insane".

The insane person whom the OP may be describing might have been someone with a gambling history, who still has some conitive functions in place and doesn't before erractic like a schizophrenic. Our conclusion on if this is a myth or not schould be drawn if the OP can give us more details on the medical history of the "insane" person.

But sorry, I personally am not really sure  about this kind of story or history because apparently, no type of gambling is mentioned. About, did the insane give out a number to bet on the lottery, or did the insane give out a pick for a team in sports betting, or something else? But regardless, if the history  is factual then still, it's just luck and even if we try to go back at least to give a few percent of the winnings and then ask for the prediction again, it's  not necessarily going to make us win the second time. So, because this is gambling which is a game of luck, then even if we get free predictions from anyone, then if we want to use them it is certainly not a problem as long as we only bet with money  that we can be responsible for.

Don't know why people still believes in superstition because if someone who is insane give odds to people and they win from it, then what happens when they bring odds again and it doesn't work again. If an insane person give prediction to people and it works, it is just mere coincidence of luck meeting reality.

I have seen someone who was communicating and even having conversation with an insane person before just because the mentally ill person gave him codes to bet on and he won but you know the funniest part, the madman kept bringing fake bets and the man kept playing and losing but was believing he will get lucky again and win from the madman's odds. Just look at how a normal person went so low just because of superstitious believes. I don't believe in superstition as what would be would be, and there is no superstition that is attached to gambling.

Obviously, superstition is kind of being in play here because if such do exist, the possibility of the insane man talking and the believe of the person involved here is a kind of aligning to say.  I am still waiting to hear what is the possible assertion that could prompt a sane individual to make belief of such scenario and accept with faith that such could happen.

First of all, insane persons are not fools. Different thing. Secondly, they don't care for our "logical" environment and opinion. Neither for money nor anything that "we", the logical, consider valuable. The "insane" doesn't care if your watch is Rolex but for (most likely) the numbers on it and how they are displayed. The "logical" take the words of a madman and use them as they think that he said them.


Because if you are a spiritual guy, you have already been freed from any kind of material bonds, otherwise you cannot "level up" and become, for example, a shaman. Do you really believe that if someone spoke to spirits, they would ask for or discuss money?

In that case this is the thread you are looking for. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/lets-talk-superstitions-5518246

I don't know why someone would even try what the mad man said but if it works for him, it must be a tip from a very observant man on the hill. 

I have not heard any stories of this kind though. it would be cool to see another try if you guys can win gain. maybe increase your wager after because it would be a waste to to limit your win when you have a devil on your side.

The problems is that people just tend to fixate their beliefs into everything that occurs to them which is exactly what happened here because their absolutely no way that the said man would have known the outcome if not luck or coincidence that may have aligned everything to be on point in this particular instance so like you said there is absolutely nothing special about this although it's no new thing to hear stories like this in my part of the world because of the high rate of religion and superstitious believes.

Such stories develop in traditional gambling environments. Such stories were also once told by my friend when we were hanging out. I can't believe it is like a miracle from a madman, I think it's still luck. It's just that the momentum is right and given by a madman.
I'm not sure when a gambler like that looks for the madman then finds him and asks for help again and it will work again. But anyway it happens and some of us, especially those who have such experiences will believe it a little.

I have only seen this kind of thing in local movies before but not in reality. Someone that is not normal but insane can not be able to know what is going on. Or maybe he heard of the match from some people, and talk nonsense that this is the club that would win to another person. Be it true or not true, I do not believe in this kind of a thing. Some people will just believe they can get lucky from anywhere but this situation is just insane. From the movies and from people, all they will say is that the mad man prediction is true. I have never heard that it is not true before. I guess all these are not true in reality but just an assumption and superstition.

In gambling no one can know exactly how the game you want to place your bet will play out because it totally depends on luck. Therefore, talking of a mad man giving your friend a game that he bet on and turns out to be a win is totally based on luck. Sometimes, with the help of others we can get lucky easily, but that doesn't mean that it would always work all the time since it's gamble.

There is nothing special about what happened to your friend because it's a coincidence and nothing more. In gambling we tend to believe on things that don't exist.

These are the things that make me curious on how an insane person that is not near how games are played would give a mentally sound individual who knows how the games are played odds to play and win. I am wondering how they go about it if it is for real and how convinced the person given such odds would have to even take it and gamble with their money.

How come there are special spirits that could predict games and nobody even the so called seers can not get hold of those spirits to also get good predictions from them. All these are what arouse my curiosity into this  situations wanting to hear and  know more on happenings as it relates to engagements of this nature.

I have heard several cases like this before but most times I think it doesn't work because I use think is the level of madness that gives some accurate results to people. I could also flashed back then earliest 2021 there was a mad man who used to walked around within my environ and sometimes he used to asked people for food either you give him from home or you go buy for him to eat and he has been doing that for long and people thought he was normal therefore has refused to give him food as usual.

One day, back then someone bought him food and he gave that person a game, and the mad was like telling him to used that same money he used and bought him food to play the game (that is, he should used same amount to gamble and when he did all the games came out draws) If I could remembered correctly it should be within 5 to 7 draws, that was how his life turned around till date and he became millionaire, although I don't usually believed this but it happens just within me that was why I had to believe what you are saying is true.

This is not strange and I believe this topic come here before or something under superstition believe regards to gambling.

However, even in real life, I have heard stories relating to gamblers going to insane people on the street for games to bet on. And the way it is given is not direct like calling out the teams meeting and their score line but it is by calling numbers out and leaving the gambler to figure it out by him self. Thus, the major part of it is guess work, the gambler can only have greater confidence if he was already analysing in same direction of the numbers that the mad person called.

I have heard such stories severally. There are situations where I have been accosted by people who look mentally retarded claiming to have sure bets they want to share with. But they often ask for some money before they release the numbers. I don't believe in this shit because I have never seen anybody win using this numbers from lunatics.

However, there is a belief among some superstitious believers that these lunatics are possessed by some spirits that can predict games correctly. Since it is perceived that spirits see beyond the natural, they can predict games correctly. I don't believe in this view.

In his youth, an old friend of mine "saw" the result of a football match in a dream, which turned out to be true in a real match. I don't remember whether he made a bet then and whether he won, but a similar story took place in my life.

I tend to believe that it is nothing more than a coincidence when such predictions bring a win after the bet. Not some kind of miracle, but a statistical probability. After all, in gambling it is impossible to predict the outcome of any event for sure and no one can know the outcome (except for the organizers of fixed matches).

There are many superstitions and other nonsense around gambling, with the help of which unfortunate gamblers hope to win. Whereas, this entire industry is built on science - mathematics. You already know who wins this fight, because look at the adjacent topics in this section and many of them are about losses and gambling addiction, and not about jackpots and millions of won prizes.

I also had a case when I was offered "an obviously winning outcome of the match", but in case of success I had to share half of the winnings. This is a semi-fraudulent scheme in which scammers recruit "fools" for arbitrary bets with their money, that is, without risking their own, but at the same time claiming a part of the winnings. Therefore, I am completely distrustful of forecasts from the outside, especially from seers.

These are all superstitious believes, it doesn't matter where you get the odds from whether from an insane or sane person gambling is simply about luck. Some people usually say that they collect lottery predictions from mad people. This makes me wonder, how can they put themselves in that dangerous and uncomfortable position of communicating with someone that's insane over something that's superstitious. It's either you are lucky or unlucky, people should stop these childish acts and accept the fact that this is the 21st century.

These are stories we hear but none have been confirmed. They may even be tales by moonlight - stories that have been passed down from one gambler to another but started in a beer parlor by a drunk. No one has actually been able to verify these stories. They are myths, legends and fables. Hardly are they ever true. Sports gambling is pure based on skills and luck not dreams or hallucinations.

These are mere coincidences. If the bet had gotten lost, then your friend might've started to search the insane man to scold. As a result of coincidence, there is a big win. If not, the blame will be upon the insane man. This isn't just with gambling alone. It happens in all means. I personally had a similar experience with my friend, but the same isn't associated with gambling but a real-life experience.

One day I and my friend went for a drive. We went to a church, and though my friend is a Muslim, he came along with me and prayed. While leaving, I left a few pennies in the offering box. We went close to the motorbike to return home. By the time an unknown person came to him and gave him a few pennies and requested to put it in the offering box. He just went and put the money in the offering box. He just took that incident as some sort of positive vibe. In my understanding, it is all about how we take the incident and connect with our life.

I am sure with a bit of research we can find many myths around out of the ordinary situations, and even with no actual facts these myths tend to get popular, this is one of them.
