You totally overlooked the thread I linked, despite what results were obtained. I imagine every other skeptic will avoid looking at it as well as it may scare them into altering their views.
No, I didn't overlook it - although I note that this is seemingly your default defence.
I have said that I need to use my website and take 4-5 hours to make a prediction. I may be hard pressed to find a Casino that would let me bring my computer inside, and even if i did it might be hard to convince them to allow 4-5 hours between spins. I would not be able to make more than one prediction per week.
First, no mention of why you would need to take your computer into the casino? Do you take your computer to the lottery studio for each draw as well??
Secondly, if the equivalent of one lottery draw is 6 consecutive spins of the wheel, and you can win at least $3,600 per 6 spins, or even an average of $1,000 per 6, then 5-6 hours per day's work for those 6 spins is far from onerous given that most people spend 8-10 hours per day at work for far less than that!
It seems all you are doing is making excuses, Kwhilborn, and relying on success from 2004 and two recorded draws in 2010?
What have been your results over the following 8 years... and not just the ones you remember, but from all the ones you did??
Or are you going to resort to "40% over a few weeks back in 2004!" as evidence of this wonderful ability you claim?
The fact that you did not know this makes me think you are not following the conversation and just copy/pasting random skeptic banter from anywhere in this sub-forum.
I did know this. As said 5-6 hours per day is far from onerous when you could potentially be winning $3,600 or more per 5-6 hours of work!
So please stop being so disingenuous.
I find it funny that you simply "overlooked" the thread I posted. You were fairly brazen when you said,
As said, this is your classic defence when people disagree with your interpretation of the events... clearly they must have "'overlooked' the thread".
I predicted over 62 lottery numbers on that thread within a few weeks, and was over 40% accurate. I have an abundance of "single events" I have been living off.
And since then? Everything you have posted resorts to this same few week period - and perhaps another period.
All we're asking is that you be honest, Kwhilborn... but rather you resort to specific periods of success (from 8 years ago) rather than provide anything more substantial.
The thread I linked above inspired some Engineer from California to try his own hand at precognition and embarked on a 6 month study of his own totally unrelated to me.
Taking anecdotal evidence like that is far from credible as support for anything other than a similar run of fortune.
Of course, only those who succeed would bother responding.
And people do remember the successes without recording the failures... it is a natural trait.
So for that one person who wrote to you to say how well it worked for him... there have been how many that didn't have any luck and never responded to you? Any idea?
I'm guessing not - so instead you quote one success story as evidence that it works, rather than it being merely a similar run of fortune.
I would expect skeptics to chalk it all up to chance, which is fair if you looked at the odds, and also of the odds of this "luck" occurring at the exact times I profess to predict.
It happens. Get over it.
I enjoy arguing with skeptics but it does help if they at least participate by looking at whats presented.
And it helps if you stop resorting to claims that they haven't read it, and stop resorting to events from 8 years ago which at best demonstrate a good run of fortune over a few weeks.
I think it is unfair to compare a lucky win last fall with accurate predictions exactly when I am attempting to predict numbers.
Everyone is trying to predict numbers every time they play the lottery. That's the point of it... trying to predict the numbers.
You labelled me as a one draw wonder...
No I didn't, but feel free to make stuff up.
yet when I PROVED my accuracy has stayed higher than 40% (PROVED MEANS I SHOWED IT 100% POSTED IN ADVANCE OF THE DRAWS AND WITNESSED BY MANY) over 62 predicted numbers for various draws. This is not something I am just making up from the top of my head. I did this. Others did this. I have shown you that I have been able to predict accurately when I wanted to with at least 40% accuracy on 2 different threads. Then you simply ignore it. Play fair dude, and at least look at the probabilities of such feats.
I am not ignoring it. Noone is ignoring it. All we are doing is putting a more rational interpretation on events. Are we claiming you lied, and the facts are not as stated? No. Are we claiming that there is a more mundane explanation than you having the ability to predict... whenever you want (given 5-6 hours prep time)... 40% accuracy or so on lotteries? Yes.
The difference is in the interpretation - not the facts.
Furthermore - when the expected accuracy for such draws is actually around 30%... achieving 40% over a few consecutive draws is not going to be all that unusual. But you continue to refuse to put up, instead resorting back to the same old period in 2004, and then a couple of draws in 2010.
Have you been lucky? Sure.
Is it "proof" of any "ability". No. It is evidence that should be taken into consideration but it is certainly not proof.
Deal with it.
I expect you probably have not read this post, and probably skimmed it.
Your standard defence when people disagree with your interpretation.
If you wish to argue it would help if you let me present the facts, otherwise your own objections have been and will be written off as drivel. I have shown more than i care about my past to answer your objections and show I have already "put up or shut up", and it did not lead to riches or proof of telepathy. I do like the roulette concept though, and would like to find it in a lottery format if possible.
You have presented the facts... you continue to resort to those facts as though they are proof of an ability rather than the more rational interpretation that they are evidence of a run of good fortune and timing. Your reluctance to provide any further proof... given that you claim you can do it whenever you wish... speaks volumes.
But no, you mostly resort to a few weeks over 8 years ago, and to one or two stories of success from other people, despite now knowing how many have tried and failed.
It is nothing more than a fallacy of selective sampling.
Put up or shut up. Noone really cares what you did 8 years ago. You claim to be able to do it whenever you want. So prove it to our satisfaction... not to yours.
