The secret behind animals predicting match outcomes?

[FirmWars]

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?

Maybe there are some culture that believes that this kind of prediction is true and possible but in my tradition, animals do not make prediction, there are so many stories that my people normally told us about most animals and they told us these stories when we were still kids about how some animals are smart. From the stories, some believes that our people had were mere superstition, there are limits to what what animals can do, even the smartest animal can not figure out the team that's going to win in football.

It's possible that the cat or bird can do prediction only on video you see on social media because those videos are edited, but in reality it's highly impossible to see animals making accurate prediction.

I still remember paul the octopus predict Spain as the winner of world cup 2010 and his prediction was correct because at that time Spain is the winner and after this thing almost every big tournament people have putting the particular animal to predict the outcomes of the matches and it became an trending on social media however, i think some people have did that for fun only and if the prediction is correct i think it's nothing more than just a coincidence

There is a chance that every prediction that is done by an animal that is correct is simply just as the op has explained, it's nothing but manipulation, but this is not to say that every thing is manipulation though, but I bet 99.99 percent of those animal predictions are manipulated.

But this is not my problem though since I am not one of those who pay or give attention to things like this, i believe that aside having fun, many of this things posted online are for content purposes, we are currently living in a world where it's seemingly becoming hard to differentiate between real and fake as a result of a lot of people making content to earn money from impression and views, so there is every possibility that those who are posting animals predicting match outcomes online are not just doing it for fun but for content purposes, it's a trend they try to take advantage of to increase their audience and followership/subscribers.

There is no way an animal will predict the right outcome of a pre match, it doesn't happen and can never be real and will never be true, I've heard so many incidences that was done on animals to predict the right outcome of final match, when I was still a little baby, I do believe in them but now am adult, nothing such happens. The animals doesn't even know what they are doing the first place, it's just some sort of silly games they doing.

[demonica]

I'm not very much familiar with animal predictions since it's kinda hard to believe those predictions. How can an animal know or predict who'll win the game when they don't even know anything about it? Do people really believe in this and trust these kinds of predictions and make a bet based on what an animal predicted?

People use deep analysis to predict a match with different factors they consider. So these animals prediction are just based through luck... Perhaps once or twice it could be right, but we can't solely just rely on this kind of predictions.

I watched this particular video in the op on tiktok, I didn't think they were actual animals, I just thought that's AI video where the dog is doing the predictions and it's getting it right just by chance. Reading the op now, I think op also has a point there. These content creators can do anything to get followers and attract views, likes, comments and shares. So, it might not entirely be a lie. But in real sense,  animals can't predict anything, all they do just happen by chance, they can't analyse anything  

[silpersurfer]

If humans, with all their perfection, reason, and thinking, are unable to make truly accurate predictions, how could an animal that is not equipped with reason do so? That's how I see it.  And as rational beings, how can we possibly trust the predictions of an animal? Do you think that animal is smarter than you?

When you entrust match predictions to an animal, it is the same as saying that you do not believe in your own ability to make predictions. Betting is not only about making a profit but also about how we go about the process of achieving that victory.

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.

Yes, in the end, this is just a scheme to scam people into believing that animals can predict the future.  I believe that animals have instincts and can sense upcoming natural disasters like typhoons, tsunami, earthquakes, and other natural calamities because they have keen senses but I do not think animals has the ability to predict the outcome of a human made event.  But people who love the spotlight, fame, attention, and monetary benefits from social media platforms will do anything to get these things that they love.  That includes scheming people with create videos where they set up stuff and remove those videos that fail and retain those that align with their statement.

No, I never relied on this kind of pre-match prediction. I always think that this kind of thing is a sham.

[Bitcoin Smith]

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.

My bad, I thought that everyone had come across those videos at least once on Instagram or TikTok...

Tiktok is banned in my country, Insta I don't use as I find it waste of time; smilar should be case for many people, and tbh if I were to come across any such videos, I would be unfollowing the account that would post it, lol.

There's no record or study showing that animals can predict match outcomes; they are not better than humans at analysis. There are records of them sensing an approaching disaster. When it comes to gambling, I don't think they can.

Yeah, animals don't have intellect like humans do, it's comedic that people would believe on these animal's predictions over human analysis.

As for animals being able to sense an approaching disaster, it's predicting a concrete happening (not sure if it's correct wording) unlike predicting a sports whose outcome depends on many variables.

[programmer3666]

I think those animal prediction clips are just super tricks, it looks more like they try to record all the possible outcomes of the game and then wait till the game is over, then upload the one that matches the actual result of the game! it is very impossible for any animal to predict the result of a football game, it is all just for entertainment purposes and it is general knowledge that luck does not win matches

[Churchillvv]

I think people should have considered this as fun or just mere content with no single atom of truth because there is no way a human is not able to predict a game or match then an animal with low capacity of thinking to make a correct prediction, for me the person behind the cat is the person directing the cat on what to choose by placing a food tray under the predictions they chose to at the end of the day, they just stand ready to feed on the prediction that is placed on their food then posted with the twisting that the animal is able to predict correct.

[OgNasty]

There is no secret to animals predicting outcomes. I personally love the trend, but c’mon… Everyone (I thought) knows that this is nonsense in the name of fun and not some magical predictive method.

[Kelward]

There is no way possible that animals can predict matches not to talk about predictions that will give bettors wins, it is either for fun or to mislead gullible gamblers. Experienced bettors who are very intelligent cannot predict correctly everytime so we shouldn't expect animals to do better jobs than them. Animals don't have the high IQ of human beings, they are animals and their reasonings are programed by nature to act with their instincts, you need human knowledgeable skills to make match predictions. People should be careful about how they believe anything they see on social media, many of the contents there are to create traffic not minding if the information they are sharing are false and misleading.

[Makus]

Looks like a deep fake made with AI, the use of ai is getting wild everyday, it has gotten to the point where it has become very difficult to identify what's fake and what's real. Aside from an Ai made video it could be just a random video of a dog moving around. Animals are not like humans so it is impossible for them to predict the outcome of football no matter how trained they are unless evolution happens with them lol. This must have gotten a lot of attention and that was actually the whole purpose of that in the first place

[Mindyspace]

At first it's deceiving, it seems like a coincidence or something completely different, but when you understand how these videos are made, the trick becomes clearer. They record several predictions before the game and then only show what was right. The wrong ones simply disappear.
Then viewers think the animal never makes mistakes, when in reality it's just clever editing. If it really worked, there would be no need to hide anything.
In the end, this is more entertainment and clickbait than real prediction. To bet, any basic analysis is worth more than trusting a psychic animal.

That's my guess.

[gunhell16]

I don’t believe in that at all, and if anyone does, it's clear they are just relying purely on luck. In the first place, an animal is just an animal; they aren't like us humans who understand the concept of gambling.

Animals have no clue what gambling is they know nothing about it. It’s honestly laughable to think that there are gamblers out there who actually
believe in stuff like that.

How can I even believe such things? It will be the least thing I can even believe in my life because I know these things can be staged, and we are only seeing the front, how sure are we that these animals are not being deceived by food that we are not seeing so that they will point at where the food is located.

I understand that some animals are very smart, but predicting football match that animals have no idea about is something I can never believe because it is not true; and maybe just as you said, they will have a lot of videos and maybe the will upload the one that corresponds to the match predictions and outcome so that people can believe that animals can actually make predictions and it is usually the right decision or right prediction.

[SOKO-DEKE]

What is the reason behind animal prediction that will make me believe in animal prediction? In fact, I am really surprised why people allow animals to make predictions for them. It does not make any sense to me, because animals do not know anything about football unless they are trained for it. Even if they are trained for it, I don’t know how they can come to a conclusion to pick one team from two.

What I believe is that there are some sets of people who believe some animals are very good with luck, and they believe they are spiritual. With that belief, they think animals can come to a good conclusion because of spirituality. But to be honest, I will never follow any animal prediction, and I believe I will never do so because I don’t see it possible for animals to make predictions

For example, if there is a match that ends in accordance with what was chosen by one of the animals selected by its owner or a visitor to instruct the animal to choose between two matches that will be played, it is just a coincidence.
Such shows are often staged during the World Cup. But I dismiss that by not believing it. What is shown is merely to attract interest.
When it comes to soccer betting, it all depends on how strong the odds are.

[bhadz]

They're all coincidence and being put into hype because of the match. And that's why there's no way someone can accurately predict each outcome of the games. Animals and humans can give predictions but if it's about the actual good accuracy, it's hard to see 100% one do it. So, it's all mere guesses and relying on this strategy is just pure fun and love for your pets. I might do this sometime in the future but, if it's with a serious amount of money, I don't think that I'll ever do this. Because if you're just to have fun, there's nothing wrong with this or if you're ready to lose your money.

There used to be the story of Octopus Dave, that was an octopus and predicted the outcome of matches, and there was also the double headed snake thought to have same ability. I never believed any of them because I have always thought it was just mere guesses that humans made to be some kind of spiritual thing and it is no different from an individual actually sitting or even standing to make a sure pick of who the winner is and win for sure.
It's all part of the entertainment and ruse of make believe in the society today.

To be honest, I've never known those animals but there are also weird things in our culture that happen to attract charm and luck. But I don't believe with all of them as well. When I was younger, I would believe about these but not anymore today. If there is no explanation and fact about it, I know that there are mysteries that we'll have hard time in believing but if it's related to gambling, many would probably be rich already if these predicting animals are so accurate that they can make their owners very rich. Correct?
