I'll have to bring this up since there was a short lived video offering $1,000,000 to anyone that can provide proof of "an intelligent flat earther". Similarly there was a $250,000 (I think) challenge months ago offered for proof that any of various mass shootings were not false flags. In short, unwinnable prizes because shifting the burden of proof to your own version of what the requirements of proof are is an easy counter. The likelihood the prize money actually exists is somewhere between zero and zero. And zero doesn't count.
James Randi is a skeptic world hero that is famous for his million dollar challenge. Prove that you have the ability, the money is yours. And the money actually exists, tucked away in a trust fund earmarked for payment under the extremely unlikely possibility of someone claiming it. A winnable prize.

Note that there were two major rule changes that seem to give our gematria friends an "out" to the challenge of whether gematria can actually predict anything. How can I meet these requirements when everybody's out to get me?
They, or at least Hubbard, has painted himself into a bit of a corner by waffling around looking super cool with false claims of actual predictions and at times trying to show he's a kind and compassionate person.
The sports crowd is extremely active and there are also a substantial number of detractors pointing out the numerous predictive failures. I've said this myself and others have pointed out that all monetary problems would be solved by simple application of gematria predictive powers to sports gambling. The paint brush moves closer to the corner with the overused counterargument:
"It's not about the money, it's the message."
Yeah, right.
The "I'm really a nice, compassionate guy" content almost always comes out after slamming a group of people. My favorite is the "my personal definition of nigger" blog post deleted shortly after posting. Other things happen like put up a video, the loyal minions oh and ahh about what a great person is. Then within days to weeks the my normal rhetoric like, "All Christians are stupid" appears.
Since somebody brought up how crisis actors could be faking crying, "Did you know crying can be faked? I can do that!". Yes, I did know. I know how to do it, too. It's exactly what I was thinking watching the video where he got all choked up about finding his long lost student was still practicing gematria. To be fair, it was either real or a VERY convincing performance. Pro tip on fake crying- what most fakers forget is the sniffling. You actually need to work up a genuine sadness to get fluid playing havoc with your nasal cavities. Regardless, the video was clearly a "I'm a nice guy" presentation. The loyal minions oh'ed and aah'ed.
And the paint brush moves closer to the corner.
There's a simple solution to proving that you're both a nice guy and not in it for personal gain. It's called C-H-A-R-I-T-Y. The Randi Foundation has encountered that old it's not about the money idea and suggested that you can easily just take the million dollars and donate it. I really don't think the American Cancer Society gives a fuck about where the money came from or how it was obtained. It doesn't even have to be Randi's money. Get a group of the sports "decoders" together. Use the seed money gathered to place some bets in Vegas with the magical power of gematria. Donate a butt load of cash to a real charity (hint, not the Gematria Is Cool Facebook Group) and they will sing your praises to no end. Most legit charities have some kind of levels that have proof of how much was donated, even if the exact number isn't revealed. Being able to point to the Gematria Sports Decoder Group is a Silver Star Supporter is verifiable proof that the outside world can see that the money was raised SOMEHOW. Since gematria comes off as just a way to look like a bad ass instead of actually doing any good this is probably also an unwinnable challenge with that large donation never happening.
I haven't seen any content yet claiming that all charities are stupid. Perhaps it's time to start proving that 501c charities are owned by the mainstream media and therefore dishonest. With the magic power of gematria I could probably do that in short order. I'm going to guess any attempted defense would play out like, "the evil empire is out to get us and thought we were going to keep the money instead of donating it". Which would be like a video with crying and no sniffles. If they know exactly what the intended use of the winnings are there's no reason to bother trying to figure out gambling on sports or even simply guessing the winner of a single game.
