The secret behind animals predicting match outcomes?

[shanz]

At first, I thought these animals were “predicting” outcomes purely by chance. But after watching a video, I realized the story isn’t what it looks like. There’s actually a smart way these videos are made to mislead people, because most of them are recorded before the game is even played (they actually record 3 results for the same match; 1X2). The correct result gets promoted while the 2 wrong predictions disappear.
In the end, there’s no cat, duck, octopus, or even elephant that can truly predict the result of a game 😄
Have you ever relied on a pre-match prediction like this, and what was the result? & How lucky were you?

I haven't and didn't believe that such things are existing. How will a dumb cat or dog predict a match that they don't have any idea of. Gambling is beyond magic power or spiritual forces manipulation if not, we will see a lot of people making money through it. It's a pure manipulation, I agree with you OP.

Do they release the record only after the match? Because that is the only way to fool unsuspecting people.

If it is released before the matches and people see the predictions, I don't think there is a way they would deceive people that easily because people would already have clips of the before match prediction and use it to shame them if they attempt any post match manipulations of the video.

Personally, I always care less about these animal predictions of football matches. If I was a coach, I wouldn't allow my team see it since it would somehow reduce their confidence, just like the parrot who has just predicted the result of the Nigeria vs Morocco semi-finals tomorrow. We would all see how it plays out.

You are contradicting yourself here. If the prediction is only promotes post match, there is no prematch prediction to be relied on.
I don't know of any popular animal predicting matches now, but the octopus during the 2010 world cup made the predictions before the matches and it was publicized at the time.

What you're pointing out now is done more on social media. X can allow you make a post without it being public, but it already has the timestamp it was made. The "influencers" there will make lots of different predictions and only make the winning one public after the match.

I do not know much about what you are saying but I can never have believe in animals prediction, we are no more in the olden days that people will believe in superstitions. Either the animal prediction is just luck or it is not true just like how you said it. But if it is true, I will prefer to make predictions by myself and use it to gamble instead of believing in animals.

X is now a criminal hub and so many manipulations occur there. You may likely see bots validating the prediction and mistake them for real accounts. We see a lot of them in recent times.

These manipulations is synonymous to the Facebook post edit feature that was exploited by scammers around 2014 - 2017 until Facebook fixed the bug and there became a clear indication of edited posts. I wonder why Elon is not fixing that of X yet to help curb scam activities currently going on there.

I see this happening a lot in the media during big events like the World Cup. Of course, I don’t believe it, but just for fun, it’s interesting to see certain animals predicting matches.
What we need to know is that none of it really works 100% of the time. We tend to think of animals predicting correctly as a coincidence. Because of the same pattern, if applied regularly to every match, I’m sure it wouldn’t work.

Based on an influencer who explained this, they record the 3 videos 1X2 days before the match. Once the match is played, they choose the reel with the correct prediction and republish it. This way, the reel appears to have an older posting date from days earlier... This is how they mislead their audience

What the heck are you talking about? And using animals to predict match results? What?? I don't think you would get anything quantifiable from using animals for predictions. Isn't it an animal welfare thing? The ethical approach towards these types of videos or content? These types of things should be fact checked.

Can you give an actual example OP?

[swogerino]

I think people like superstition a lot nowadays probably because life does not always like we plan or we want to. They do not mean anything and people, smart people should know that relying on animals which have no logic at all to make your predictions makes such people look really stupid. I personally believe only other humans that have some sort of facts to back them, like people putting their predictions on sites that are built for that and history of their bets show they have been somewhat successful. Even so I don't go all in by taking other people opinions no matter how good they may be. Usually it boils down to this, you check all facts and tips and then decide from your own mind.

If all the result of Thier prediction is being posted before the commencement of a game, doesn't it directly suggest that the fan based of the said person will easily spot out such misleading act? It's one thing to think you can be smart and another to do it In such a way that you end up assuming that the others are complete fools.

Even if your intention is to delete the two false predictions, you will eventually get caught when you do it consecutively and as such, it's not even a realistic thing for anyone to try.

[Mhizlove]

Looking at its first glance you see those videos will make it looks at it like those animals has this special ability but if you observe it or view it from the brighter side, its all editing tricks. And different results are being recorded before even the match started, at the end of it all it's only the ones that are correct that will even still be there.

From the way I see it no animals predicts the results in matches, anyone that follows it is just doing it's just for luck because it will just work for a while and later on it won't be there again it's just coincidence and not skills, so look very well

[lovesmayfamilis]

The very question the OP asks suggests the insanity of those who believe this. You could also ask the wind, placing numbers in the wind and choosing the ones that fall based on the wind's direction (I've seen such predictions, too). In fact, I can think of dozens of ways to predict the outcome. I won't call everyone who believes such things idiots just because some are just joking, but if there are people who believe animal predictions as reality, they definitely need medical attention.

Just following those unique events, but I never really bet on the choices those animals made. I once followed the choices they made, those were Paul's choices, those who followed the 2010 World Cup will definitely know his figure. Since he died, I never follow the choices of animals anymore, it makes me feel like I'm worse than an animal, even though I can actually make a better analysis.

I still believe what you said here. But let me remind you about two different things you mentioned here. You talk about animal prediction and luck. For me I believe mostly in self prediction than animal prediction or someone else prediction. Throughly we are not in olden days but still work according to your luck. Mostly it should be from you. Just like sometimes ago I was depending on people prediction. But don't work for me.

[giammangiato]

It didn't take analysis to understand that these are videos made to attract clicks and views.
The real problem though is that people seriously believe this nonsense, this leads people to do nonsense and stupid nonsense.
Imagine if an animal could actually predict an outcome, everyone would want it to make money, don't you think?
Gambling is special, on the one hand it requires seriousness to avoid getting hurt, on the other hand it is a pastime, maintaining balance on both sides is difficult, if it succeeds it is extraordinary.
I'll add a tip, ALWAYS trust your instincts and never from promotional videos.

[bakasabo]

Those animal predictions can be easily manipulated. How this prediction usually work: there are two bowls with food and names of teams, players, persons on them. From which bowl animal eats first, that is the prediction. Dont feed the animal or put in one bowl dry food that it likes, in other bowl different kind of dry food (they all look the same from distance).

People who use animals for predicts are same people who use number randomizers when playing lottery for example. It is fun, but such methods dont give any advantage and are ineffective.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

I watched before the Octupus who predict the winner of the game , But I dont believe on their prediction.
You should beilive on yourself, you should study the 2 teams and make the infos of 2 comperable and bet on the better one.
for me this is better if and only if the teams playing are not my favorite

[purple_sparkles]

We must be aware that believing in any kind of predictions, whether they come from animals, stars, or gurus, is essentially a way of shifting responsibility for our own actions. In this way, our psyche protects us from admitting that we have made mistakes. Personally, I treat any predictions with a smile, but be that as it may, as long as humanity has existed, so have superstitions, even in our age of vast amounts of information.

[Rabata]

I do not believe in the results of any animal or bird for the outcome of any match. Even if an animal really gives the correct result of a bet, I am not influenced by it because I think it can happen. A prediction in a bet can come true but it does not happen again and again. And it is also true that those who believe in such predictions are really stupid. If a video of the 3 results is made by an animal and after the results are expected, the winning result is announced, it can be a trick of those who have made such videos. However, no one should change their position after seeing such a video. No one should be influenced by anyone to change the result of the bet.
