Now, if losing money betting on sports isn’t fast enough for you there’s the potential to get nailed by investing in the stock market.
I don’t mind sounding a bit, screw it, a lot prejudiced here. But it sure seems like the sports crowd (beyond the ones offering the scams) are really not terribly bright.
For example:

Yet another sports gematria blog. This one is mostly in the traditional format of Fee To Find Misinformation. Although a prediction is actually made for each individual game a detailed “decode” is provided for both teams. The year to date record is displayed, which is well above 50%. But, and I like big buts, it’s heavily padded by not picking every game and heavily relying on picking favorites.
So, experimental criminal psychologist that I am I found the time to poke a little bit deeper. Mostly because Denim hasn’t made a post since November 2nd, and even took the time out from his busy schedule of failing and wasting his time to delete that, leaving an October 30th hindsight decode as the last entry. We’ll get back to that shortly.
Instead of just taking a gematria blog at face value you can get some insight on the links, and if you see donation links like Sports Gematria has it’s pretty easy to guess the motivation. As of today, $68 on Patreon and a direct cash app shortcut. The only things really missing is loyal minions posting comments like Jedd style trying to get a grip on the impossible concept of quality versus quantity of numbers available, bragging about success and lying about failure. Very low key.
Well, there’s a Twitter link. You can learn a lot about someone by who they follow and who is following them. For instance, going through some followers and followings you see some things that don’t make a whole lot of sense, since not making sense is a core value of gematria, especially when money is involved. And this isn’t just the Sports Gematria account but the followers and followings of the followers and followings of that account. If you follow. Tony Telling It, Gary the Numbers Guy, Fee To Find Misinformation, Brother Berg, etc... It’s all one big happy family of pay to play with sports, personalized numerology readings and now even the stock market. That’s how I found Stock Market Gematria. A relatively untapped resource of a huge database of numbers to whine about after the fact.
And supposedly some of these guys don’t like each other. Some of the bitter exchanges in the comments would make you think that a constant flame war would be ensuing every time one tries to dare suggest that they are the expert and everyone else is a shill. Perfectly understandable since there are a limited number of susceptible targets to bilk. I would totally not be surprised if there’s more than one account controlled by the same person.
I envision that the stock market is a little too high brow for the type of people that contradict each other in the sports comments. The type of people destined to have no better job than pizza delivery and Uber drivers. But, if you are able to afford some of the pricey thousands of dollars subscription packages you might want to take a chance on stocks instead of flipping a coin on sports.
In the old days a snake oil salesman would enter a new town, peddle his sugar water, the humble folk would get suspicious and if the flim flam man was any good would high tail it out of there. Move on to the next town. Maybe even change his name and product since word might get around. Social media makes the identity change much easier. Instead of a new haircut and fake beard it’s easy to start fresh, just open up a new account. For all we know Denim is still out there instead of just giving up. There’s at least a benefit to time invested of being able to recognize the names of past subscribers to the concept. For all we know, the Gematrinator might be rambling on about solar eclipses and other weird stuff just to identify those that are willing to pay to play. Speculating, not accusing. Because if that’s what’s going on he’s very good at it and has never tipped his hand. He has given indication that he’s not really serious about the system by trying to correct mistakes and contradicting himself. It’s just spread out over multiple videos instead of in one package that has a new audience or old timers that simply don’t care. Advertising.
The stock market does have a great upside. Companies don’t generally go into business expecting to lose money. So instead of predicting a winner that turns out to be a loser there’s partial reinforcement by gaining a modest monetary gain driven by real life business factors instead of gematria. You can still pick a favorite like a blue chip stock. Probably best to avoid the penny stocks if you don’t want to buy a fake beard. Or not worry about the fake beard since now it’s so cheap and effective. The numerology is easy with the ability to sift through an impossibly huge database and shave off or add numbers to concoct what you want to fabricate into your story. The downside - I imagine that the crowd with the money tends to be a bit smarter. Do you go for the big score and try and sting Robert Shaw or settle for grifting the wallet out of a passerby for beer and cigarette money? Each takes some time and effort. If you don’t have an actual job you could run both in the gematria world. And of course there’s the same aspect that is damning from the sports world. If you ask for money for your expert stock picks, if you are really that good, there’s no need to sell your services. You’d simply just do it. To be fair Stock Market Gematria hasn’t started charging. The Twitter account is new, so let’s give it some time.
This is where I am in disagreement with one of my fans, and as this is speculative and my opinion I could be in the wrong. He thinks that it’s just crazy for the sake of being crazy, which some of it really is. I’m convinced that when real time and effort is input, the smarter ones that do most of the work, it always comes down to the money. How do I present the material in a manner that captivates someone in an entertaining manner while that someone isn’t bright enough to see the inherent contradictions.
