    This could be useful: Suppose people are gambling on outcomes I do/don’t like. Maybe “Chances that we all die in nuclear war”. If my superpower prediction is that a nuclear war will happen, I should place a bet to change the outcome from “guaranteed death” to “maybe death”.

      That might work. My intent was that the natural order prevails either way. You just only know the outcome if you don’t intervene.

    This would suck for casual gamblers but be a godsend for problem gamblers

      Wouldn’t it just convince problem gamblers that they would have been right if they’d only just bet?

      I can’t visualize this. Will you elaborate?

        I pictured it ruining the experience for them and driving them away from gambling

          Oh. That sounds good. I’m on board for anything that interferes with a debilitating addiction.

    What if I Predict that say France is going to win a rugby game against New Zeeland, and then bet money on New Zeeland winning?

    For my prediction to be wrong, New Zeeland would have to win. Since I acted on it my prediction would have to be wrong? right?

    Infinite money glitch

      Then you can’t predict it. You get the same chance as everyone else.

        Ah damn, I got used to the Dutch “Zeeland”

        They actually named it, “Zee Land” = Sea Land
