Mad/Insane People Making Prefictions For Sane People

I've heard about it one too many times, have seen it quite a few times but it never downed on me until the one I noticed of recent. Wher a group of sane people surrounded this particular insane guy to patronise him to write them some predictions on soccer draws and some lotto tips on random numbers.

I thought to myself, don't madness imply a state of mental disorder no more? Which means, the supposed individual presumed to be mad isn't supposed to be capable of complete thoughtfulness and yet, he somehow seemed to have a business, working and managing it good while playing around with the brains of the sane people.

So, i questioned a friend on this abnormal trend and he replied,
'prediction in itself is abnormal and it only takes one who  is abnormal to make a proper, close to or successful prediction often'. Why? I asked and he said,
'Because to an insane person, it comes without dought in contrast to a sane  person'
He gave me a scenario where an insane person was asked what was he's time and the insane person replied 'its past 4pm' mean while, it was just 11am in the morning. To the insane guy, he was very sure and ready to stand by his timing because, that's where his state of being is at that point in time. So somehow, this seem to attract them some luck in predictions as what you believe often comes to be.

Is this entirely true, that what you believe with regards to prediction often comes to be?
Is there any spirituality with regards to sports betting or gambling?

What are your thoughts on these trend of mad or insane people running predictions for sane persons. It feels unreasonable but, its happening and most times in underdeveloped nations.

I do not believe in that, but we can not blame them for doing what they want, including asking an insane person about the predictions. Maybe they see that an insane person can give them the right predictions, although there is no right information for that.

I think they are desperate to win that gambling game, so they find the out way, and one of that way is asking the insane person who can give them the predictions. That does not make sense, but we can not say anything because we can not change what they think unless they realize that thing is not right.

Mental disorders are honestly more prevalent as previously though, even a simple anger issue is something that a person should go to the psychiatrist for but unfortunately these are not cost effective and thus more often than ever these things are ignored. When we are talking about the madness in lieu of sports gambling and weird predictions made by people....I just wanted to ask them one thing ,"If it was so easy to predict then why are people not millionaires yet?"
This is more or so similar to believing in things like clairvoyance and such. But at the same time people might believe, people might make predictions, but you should understand the fact that it is not the fault of anyone in this case, since no insane person would force anyone to believe in them and go according to their predictions.
But rather you should :
believe in mathematical calculations and use those strategies!! These would work much more and at the same time it's more reliable and not so "insane"

This looks like a belief that works for certain people. They say what you belief in , works for for. The risk in it too is that people who are not mad can pretend to be so to get money from an innocent person. I don't indulge in such .

Haha how can you be such a naive person? Predictions work with a 1 in 2 probability. You might as well flip a coin. Determine in advance which of its sides will mean the victory of this or that team. But seriously, listen to less bullshit and learn to analyze the outcome of the game with the help of previous matches.

[Mr.right85]

The need to win has made a lot of persons take predictions to the next level. You can imagine what desperate situations would warrant this type of attitude in people towards gambling by gamblers.
I guess its a rumour driven thing, about those who happen to believe hat there are some spirituality about the outcomes in gaming and as such, a mental disordered person is believed to operate in this realm hence, could be capable of some accurate predictions.
For me, its total bullshit. Should there be such a way about this especially with the insane or mad persons, then mad people would have no longer being on the street as they would be valued so highly in this context. Predictions remains a one in 2 possibilities and thats what the mad man continues to offer.

[passwordnow]

Is there any spirituality with regards to sports betting or gambling?

No. It's only that the belief in religion that gambling and sports betting isn't allowed but to connect that they're going to be lucky or will be blessed as they gamble, that's crazy. From the root word itself that predictions are guess based on what the person saying in the chosen gambling games that they want.

This looks like a belief that works for certain people. They say what you belief in , works for for. The risk in it too is that people who are not mad can pretend to be so to get money from an innocent person. I don't indulge in such .

This is like the sort of effect that has been explained scientifically but I forgot how it's being called.

That's not prediction since the insane guy don't analyze and just choose random pick out of the choice in able to leave him alone by that group of shitty sane people. They should just use a random picker software instead of disturbing the life of insane people since the result that both produce is purely a random pick in the end.

Is that supposed to be "doubt" not "dought"?

The highlighted part is the only statement that makes sense to me when I relate it to choosing random numbers. People who can easily think logically have our own biases since we always have our favorite numbers. It's hard not to pick them no matter how hard we try to avoid. The rest are just made up beliefs by these gamblers.

[kryptqnick]

I think that the word 'mad' is very unclear. There are people with various disorders that make some of their functioning more different from that of other people. And also people call someone mad when they don't understand the logic behind someone's actions or think that this person's decisions are too risky. It is also true that a person who isn't, for instance, neurotypical, can succeed at some things better because of seeing the problem differently and offering creative solutions. And a person can be genius at one thing, but have mental struggles with other things (take John Nash as an example; he had schizophrenia but was also a genius mathematician and got a Nobel Prize in Economics)
You're saying it's a trend, but could you provide some links to see how it really looks like?

This is complete nonsense as a way to increase the chances of guessing the outcome of an event. However, the odds will not be lower or higher as if you just tossed a coin. I must note the use of sick people in such activities is very immoral (of course, if they are not interested in it themselves).

I can second the motion with that. When I read the story, I couldn't believe that it is happening in this age. I don't think there is some good reason why these sane people are using insane one, there is really no point of using them. Better familiarize yourself when you are into sports betting. That may help you in increasing your chances of winning. Not the insane person predicting the results of the game. In what part of the world is this happening? Never heard such up until now.

I have no idea what you are talking about, why would anyone go to an insane person who is not having any idea of the sport ask for prediction. To predict the outcome of a sport you need to follow the team religiously and follow the team news and then you are able to make a prediction and that too most of the time cannot be accurate and here you are talking about some stupid belief  .

[ralle14]

I don't believe on that type of stuff, if they make predictions on the leagues i'm following maybe i'll tail them once. On the sportsbook subreddit I know there are people who post their picks based on coinflips or other coincidence that doesn't even make sense yet somehow they manage to get a good record but most of the time their positive records don't last very long as they have an aggressive bet size and go on long streaks.

Using those people are the sign of addiction in gambling, and I believe only crazy bettors will do that.
We all have to see betting as a real gambling, and we have the chance here to win only if you analyze the sports you’re betting for. I don’t believe on this kind of ceremony, and I only believe on my strategy analyzing before I bet.

[Viscore]

I'm not treating it personally.

Regardless of who is sharing, what matters is his prediction and its outcome, if he continues to make good predictions, then eventually his followers will increase and it doesn't matter if we will have to pay as long as we will get our expectation, that's what gambling is for me.

Is just that they belief such abnormal people are possess to be able to relate with the spirit world to reveal some winning prediction for them but that doesn't work that way. And some prediction are far different from the eventual winning numbers. I don't believe that anybody has the power to make accurate winning numbers, they are just luck and not destiny.

thats what the situation is presenting here. lol they are resorting to this type of person as their betting strategy. maybe the insane person got one right prediction before and then others are now rooting for him to predict other games. and now, a lot of them are blindly following for some stupid reason. guess, that is a sign of desperation here.   better trust your own instincts rather than believe in this kind of nonsense belief

[Sanitough]

I maybe could call myself insane as I can follow a tipster and pay for the pick if the pick is really legit.

In sports betting, we have these people who really give their time in studying game and analyzing it to get the best bet, and they don't need win all the time, that's something we need to understand as a bettor but winning most of the time will already make us profitable.

I don't care if they charge with serious amount if I'm winning and I'm gambling with a decent amount, at the end of the day, it's just business and win-win for both parties as both have benefited.

[nelson4lov]

Considering anyone can have beliefs whether they are insane or not and also if these beliefs do come to pass, then it means that anyone can do it. You don't have to necessarily be insane to do it. I think the major point I'd like to make here is the fact that, an insane person will go all out and take certain risks (without minding the consequences)  compared to a sane person who would often choose to be considerate and manage risks. And truth be told, nothing is achieved from playing things safe.. Sometimes you've to go all in and I think that what gives an insane person a slight edge. Other than that, it should be the same.
