Know Your Grifter Marketing Techniques - Covering Up For Failed Predictions

It takes way too long for grifter victims to throw in the towel and admit the predictions not working out and are not ever going to work out.  There are two clips of Zach rants often repeated on the Sports Gematria YouTube channel.  In one, Zach claims that he’s way better than Nostradamus at predictions, popping up with his often repeated claim that he’s taken so much money out of the casinos they are out to get him.  In the other, he claims, “I never said I could predict anything.”  That happens when a caller challenges him on claiming victory when old video shows he clearly picked the other team.

Know your other grifter marketing techniques.  The persecution complex, the casinos changed the result to make him, and only him, look bad.  The self proclaimed only person in the Truth Community that matters.  On the other side, claiming you never predict anything and are only exposing rituals that “mock us”, that runs into the commentary on the Sports Gematria YouTube channel reminding us of the nickname, After the Fact Zach.

Making an actual prediction is problematic for the group that’s in on the con.  Verifiable evidence that it did not come true will present itself.  The Wikipedia page on end of the world predictions is loaded with, to put it mildly since we are still here, failed predictions.

Ironically, the quote about Nostradamus is the key to making successful failed predictions.  Predictions you know aren’t going to work out and/or easy to cover up when they don’t work out.  The big red flag cognitively impaired grifting victims miss is the mere fact that predictions are being made in the first place is a sign of trouble.  Nobody popularized the vague prediction that could be covered up for being wrong as much as good ole Nostradamus.  And there’s nothing in conspiracy grifting anywhere near as vague as gematria.  It was DESIGNED, to be vague and misleading.  Let the confirmation bias of the mark seal their own doom.

Nostradamus didn’t make his work mentioning specific dates.  That doesn’t seem to work in modern society where our lack of patience demands instant gratification.  I want to win my bet on this weekend’s games.  Not put a lot of money down on the NFL champ now, and wait out a full NFL season.  But, letting the games playing out and changing the narrative after the fact, that’s got the Nostradamus seal of approval.  By the time the playoffs come around, literally every team has got someone that’s done a mind blowing decode that shows their narrative.  All the failed weekly predictions are forgiven.  Congratulations to the winners.  If you lost, you missed the narrative for the other team.  And since the numbers exist for a narrative for both teams on every single game, you’ve missed the narrative that gematria provides no benefit.

The vague prediction Nostradamus style doesn’t work when the evangelicals talk about the Rapture.  It’s always coming soon.  It sounds like it works, since soon can mean anything from tomorrow to years from now.  And inevitably, as a variation of predicting the end of the world it butts heads with the stubborn world continuing to not end.

The real key to covering up the failed prediction is to not actually make a prediction that has a definite plus or minus result in the near future, and not so far away that your hook is going to get dismissed in favor of shorter term promises.  A sports season is perfect.  Interest can be maintained along months.  And that’s right about the correct time frame for deriving some benefit (donations) from the marks before they wake up to the con and move on.  Cryptocurrency is even better.  There’s no defined season.  Our extremely volatile markets go way up and way down regularly on even ordinary investments.  But the crypto volatility is absolutely insane.  Predicting a big upswing or a crash, he buddy, you just messed up your decode by a couple of weeks.  The crash wasn’t really a true crash, but losing 10% of value in a couple days, that is close enough to be translated as a crash.

For those who are thinking of getting involved as a conspiracy grifter, you need a marketing plan that has a pre made plan to cover up for failed predictions.  The reality is:

I’m picking sports games based on numerology.  My predictions don’t work.  I’m making investments based on numerology.  My predictions don’t work.  I’m making political affiliations based on numerology.  My predictions don’t work.  Those arrests still haven’t happened yet.  I’m claiming synchronicity now tying it into years old “rituals”.  My predictions don’t work.  The world hasn’t ended yet.  My predictions don’t work.

We’re obsessed with predictions.  Nostradamus would be proud.
