The secret behind animals predicting match outcomes?

[robelneo]

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?

It's a wild guess by these animals that they are not aware of what they are doing is all about gambling; if it's not live, it's manipulated to make us believe that animals can predict the result.
Even the experts will tell you that it's not part of their senses to do such a thing, the video creator is making a fool of us by insinuating that animals can do this.

Even with the picture I still wanted to click on the link to see more about this even though I know it's obviously fake. Animals are smart and they can do a lot of things when they are properly trained but there is a reason why we are called higher animals that's because we are able to do things that they can't. predicting outcome of a match isn't really something that an animal can do so this is absolutely fake

[BABY SHOES]

It wouldn't be strange since many people still believe in animals to predict the outcome of upcoming matches... this reminds me of the octopus in the previous world cup final, but forgot what year it was. Lol

I think a lot of people here think realistically it's impossible to believe in the result of the animal he ate which is A or B.
Now that the AFCON cup is doing this, maybe there will be other animals in the world cup doing this.

There are actually two conclusions for me;
where they believe in the spiritual.
Or they want to be famous with predictions made by animals.

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.

Lol, I don't know if gamblers are going to rely on any animals for their bet and prediction. And if you think logically, you will not that it's just a coincidence that a animal will make a perfect prediction. So I won't go and bet on what they choose, I will still go and trust my own analysis of the game.

No doubt that everyone can pick, specially in sports betting, as it's like 50/50 chances. So that is the secret there for this people who uses animals to pick the winners. And if the pick didn't won then what they can say?

This has been a topic many years ago, but hopefully no one can fall for this trick.

I was never one to believe such balderdash. It is only gullible people who are carried away with emotions that would think that an animal without any cognitive ability will predict something that is about to happen. And worse still is the media outlets that broadcast it. Humans are indeed an interesting species.

Of course there's nothing like that and it's just people that produces these kind of videos for the views. There's no way an actual animal could really be a psychic as well lol. That's absurd and if ever it will be done it's definitely for entertainment purposes only and shouldn't be taken seriously. I don't even wanna try to be honest.

(they actually record 3 results for the same match; 1X2). The correct result gets promoted while the 2 wrong predictions disappear.

It's the improvement of an old scam method involving predictions which worked by mail before internet. Scammers mailed different groups of people with different outcomes for the same matches. The ones who received the wrong outcomes were discarded from the next batch of mails. This way, scammers caused the false perception they were accurate and by the end of a determined championship, there were only two groups of receivers left, which were blindly assured the method was legit and that they should hire the services offered.

Nowadays with internet, social medias, paid traffic and algorithms it's much simpler to run such schemes. It's possible to reach a much wider portion of people for much less money... That is technology being used for evil purposes.

[Ivystar5]

How do people even believe that the car make make good guess on what country will win other the other? even the statics given by most platforms do not work or are not giving better advantages toaking better prediction, compared to a cat on any of the social media, well gambling is luck and luck is better when you have more edges over the predictions, but for the cat not even humans can do nor gods.

[Su-asa]

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.

Even before someone will think of this we have to understand that they are also dump as well 😂. Apologies if I might be too harsh on this but that's the truth.
However, some gamblers are really funny, they just want to win and they are also looking for every possible means to make sure that they win, even if luckily for them they win they will continue to use same pattern because they have fully trust it. But funny enough, nothing works for ever mostly when it has something to do with gamble.

The prediction happens before the match so it's not like they post 3 results and can boost the right one after the match ends because everyone will be waiting to see the result before the match only. And I don't believe in it because it's just a coincidence that occured more than once successfully and I guess the octopus's is the most famous one which predicted the results almost accurate except the last one if I am not wrong.

An example of normal distribution is the ability to predict the result in advance, the match is not yet started. I mark that thousands of subjects have made the effort with the same object, and that, mathematically speaking, one of them must perform exceptionally to the mark. We pay attention to one, glamorous success storey and not to the millions of the failures that are not reported. Such patterns are mere manifestations of the high data sample size. We must be aware of the fact that pure probability does permit logically recurring coincidences.

Why will animal make prediction about the team that’s going to win, and you going to choose to follow what the animal predict? I do see posts like this on TikTok, but I don’t always take them serious, I do see them as people doing content. I take posts like that as people looking for engagement, I don’t even know people like this are taken serious. If you are a gambler, stay away from crazy things like that, animals can’t properly predict a game for you, just take your time and properly do your analysis before you place your bet.

[r_victory]

This is nothing but superstition and stupidity, trusting your money to an animal's guess? I don't know, some people practically beg to lose money. It was to be expected that the "gambling cat's" wrong guesses wouldn't be made public. People come up with all sorts of things to rip off the most ignorant.

Even knowing what I'm doing, my hunches aren't very accurate, so what about a cat's predictions?

Does the innocent cat even knows it's predicting match? Well haven't relied on this method because I have no idea, and I will never use this method for prediction. If this cat somehow stand in a position that the game end well, I will just take it as luck because the animal is not even aware that he is predicting match. So I can't take it seriously except there is something spiritual or supernatural behind this. But if this is done frequently back to back and there are more positive signs, then there is need to study and adopt this strategy.

[CONVOAI]

I first saw such a prediction during the FIFA World Cup. Can't remember what year the World Cup was. But I remember this much: an octopus used to predict matches like that. Even though it looked interesting, I didn't believe it. I just took it as fun. You shouldn't rely on such pre-match predictions. It's better to take it as a fan.

I've always been amazed by the ingenuity of scammers. And here it would seem that this solution lies on the surface - to record different videos, but for an ordinary person it is far from obvious. Therefore, it becomes possible to inspire people with the idea of wonderful animals. Because in general, an ordinary person does not suspect a trick. But this is an entry-level trick. I've read descriptions of fraudulent schemes in the criminal news that are so sophisticated that I myself would not have guessed it in 10 years. Well, alas, such people (scammers) waste their talent on crimes...

You are right. They will make multiple videos of the scenario with the dog/animals moves towards the attempt of predicting the games like they are even more intelligent than the AI or even human with the psychological abilities to analyse the games before making decisions.

What the scammers behind the scene does after much moves on making the decision of which team will win is that... They only publishes only the video that tallys with the right outcome of the game and they will always have to wait to see the games outcome before they can publish it with the video that matches the game outcome.
It is all games on their side making false hypes with the events to lure audience but anyone with the right senses will never believe it to be true.

[Sammye3]

I did observe that you would not see any of this videos before the match, but once the mat h has being played, you begin to see videos of correct predictions flying up and down like it was pre-programmed. This does not just happen for country matches, but for club matches as well and it's actually very misleading.

To the best of my knowledge, I would not fall for such scheme because it's clearly for promotion and to draw attention, just like you mentioned OP the video with the correct outcome gets promoted and that's a red flag for me. I have being seeing videos like this on my FYP but that's all fake because it's not possible that animals would make correct predictions every single time, it's way more beyond luck.

I've never used this method, so I can't say anything about luck.

But I'm starting to wonder, why not? Because if my predictions were wrong when betting, then maybe the "cat" will be better at it.

So, how does a "behemoth" forecast differ from our own when we're preparing to place a bet? I believe there's no fundamental difference. In both cases, it's like trying to hit a sparrow with a cannon - the outcome depends entirely on random chance. Even if we conduct some preliminary analysis and make assumptions (forecasts).

So, is there some kind of cheating going on? To demonstrate the veracity of the "cat" predictions?

Anyone believing that an animal can predict a result shouldn’t deserve to place bet at all since he ignore the logic which is crucial on sports betting.

Relying on unknowns means you are already desperate to win. People should focus on their own analysis skills and hone it on their own rather than relying on odd scheme to predict outcome.

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

Now I understand the logic and more self explanatory than the op itself, since they already made and publish the videos days back before the starting of the match it have the posted date labeled with it which every other video will still be there until when the final game result is decided they can go ahead to bump up that particular video that matches the game result which is a misleading way to promote something and make people think they know it all even before the game get started, people just do anything for views or what ever reason they have and those who believe them are the ones I blame fully.
