It remains all superstition to me, one of the many superstitions surrounding gambling. If a madman can give correct predictions for a game, why has no shaman or prophet been able to give correct score predictions for several games?
Most times the people who tell this kind of story always claim to have heard it from another person; it is rarely a firsthand experience.
Talk of superstition that's just what it is. I have also heard about people indulging in some spiritual sacrifices and rituals in the bid to be able to make correct predictions as they gamble but it has always been futile as I haven't seen any of these persons win any huge life changing sum with their predictions.
On the 23rd November 2024 a gambling friend sent me three draws which according to him was given to him by his friend who claimed that a mad man gave it to his sister to play. Long story short, after I argued with him that such things are not real in gambling that am not going to deliberately waste my money betting on the draws, he still went on to bet on the games lo and behold out of the three draws only two played and he lost that bet. I still remember those games, Northampton Town Vs Cambridge united, Sheffield Wednesday Vs Cardiff city, and Manchester city Vs Tottenham.
