before this people used to send out stock predictions by mail to power of 2 people with each prediction and its opposite, eventually you get down to a person who you have always sent the correct prediction.



That was a scam used for betting. Call this phone number for your free “lock”. Half got team a, half team b. They did it twice then asked those who were winning and kept calling to pay for the next prediction.


oh that scales nicely
