…the next pick to the people who saw you pick the “winner”. Now half of those people see one team, the other half see you pick the other team, and whoever saw you pick the winner thinks you’ve got a 100% accuracy rate over two games. You could do that for a while and then offer to sell your pick for the Superbowl. Starting with a big enough group in the beginning, this might be really lucrative.

But is it legal?

    Who cares if it’s legal - doing it makes you an asshole, that’s what really matters.

      There’s demonstrably millions of people who are absolutely fine with being assholes, especially if it’s profitable. It doesn’t matter to them in the slightest.

        If one is cruel enough to exploit the credulity of others for personal gain, that’s on oneself.

        So when fraud happens, the victim is at fault and not the scammer? Mental gymnastics much? You sound like you’re a scammer yourself tbh …
