Sorry, You’re Still Not Predicting

Sorry, Denim.  Looks like I’m going to have to promote you to my number one target, at least temporarily.  You see, you’ve mastered the art of making a non- prediction look like a prediction.  So just in case you’re going to join the money fraud while the NFL season is starting to hit full swing let’s take a look.

The update you give on the Yankees.  Yep, you have been touting them for awhile.  Big deal.  They pretty much wrapped up a playoff spot and everyone knew that if it weren’t for the Sox they were a preseason favorite.  Nice touch with the Update clearly showing ahead of time that you intended to give the details instead of just editing and pretending what you said here all along.  Since you want to play the game of mocking me for being too stupid to point out what you’re doing wrong so you can make corrections, here’s what I’ve got for you.

Pretty sure I’m smarter than you.  Since I had busted you for editing after the fact before (Hello!?  NCAA bracket mean anything to you?) let’s point out that it also clues me in to emphasize what’s wrong, still.

Here’s the original before the update.  Which of course doesn’t predict any details since gematria sucks ass at predicting.  So you’ve bypassed the possible use of the “oh, they’re on to me, they flipped the script” excuse.  For now.  I’ll be the first to gloat here if they do lose at any point.  It’s a long postseason after a single game elimination game with the favorite team also on top.

You also turned off the comments again.  Good idea if you don’t want the inevitable multiple guesses about what numbers support either team that come from your cronies.  That’s always fun to watch when both teams get picked with various bullshit numbers and then SOMEBODY has to be wrong.  Can’t tell you how to fix that unless you always leave comments off every post.  But that’s the fun, right?  Somebody also has to be right?  Somebody’s confirmation bias that the system works gets fed?

I also want to point out that I was smart enough to guess that you would not achieve any real success with your first week of NFL predictions.  You did own up to it and admit it wasn’t too good.

Yet, an 8-6 record (7-6 before Monday night) is as close to 50-50 as you can get without being 50%.  (Excepting those annoying ties.  And actually, every tie like the rare two so far this season is a defeat towards predicting a winner for gematria.  Can’t recall ever seeing someone say they’re predicting a tie.)

The only way to correct this, I think, is simply to give up trying to predict and just stick to strictly reporting after the fact.

Good luck with that.
