TT Predicts Big Game

Predictions of the future seem to be the accepted raison d'être for one to claim to be a TTer. So the probability that I am a TTer from the future goes up with my prediction success, right? I am from the future. I don't care if you believe me.

Indianapolis Colts over Chicago Bears by 7.

A wet and wild night of Super Bowl firsts brought Dungy, Manning and the Indianapolis Colts to the top of the NFL with a 29-17 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday night.

I make it a 12 point margin - different timeline?
 
In the future we call that a "point spread". Indianapolis beat the point spread, hence I am not wrong. And if you look more closely you may find that I got the score right.
 
no one chooses a team then the spread, they pick the score. You could have said Colts 29 over the Bears 17. This was a 50/50 shot at guessing the victor of the game. When you realized it wasn't over 7 points, you later said it was the spread. That's one way for you to excuse yourself from your mistake.

Now, if you are a time traveler, then tell us the winners from the Academy Awards. All of them.
 
"no one chooses a team then the spread, they pick the score."

I can see you don't place bets too often. You're wrong. It is quite common for someone to place a bet as "Indy by 7". But are you claiming I did not pick the score?

"You could have said Colts 29 over the Bears 17."

How closely did you examine my original post above? Look more closely.

"This was a 50/50 shot at guessing the victor of the game. "

It appears you don't know much about odds and probability, for it is pretty clear even my point spread was not 50/50. Let me explain. It would have been 50/50 if I only said "Indy will win." Understand?

"When you realized it wasn't over 7 points, you later said it was the spread. That's one way for you to excuse yourself from your mistake."

I made no mistake. I stated a point spread, and that point spread was met. Furthermore, I also predicted the score. Pay attention.

"Now, if you are a time traveler, then tell us the winners from the Academy Awards. All of them. "

Demanding, aren't we? I never claimed to be a time traveler. I may have said "I am from the future" but I also added "I don't care if you believe me." That is an attempt at humor, since this seems to be what all TT claimants state as a means of cover. So tell me, what's in it for me if I even predict so much as one Academy Award winner? What do I get out of it?
 
Nowhere in your first post does it say the Colts would win by a 7 point "spread."

"I am from the future. I don't care if you believe me.
Indianapolis Colts over Chicago Bears by 7."

This post obviously mentions the Colt would win by 7 points over the Bears. You did pick the winner, but you were wrong on the score. Sorry, but it's true. You should have given us the TRUE score. So, I take it you can't predict the winners of the Academy Awards?
 
"This post obviously mentions the Colt would win by 7 points over the Bears. You did pick the winner, but you were wrong on the score. Sorry, but it's true. "

The only thing that is true here is that you look at things on the surface, and do not have a penchant for investigating details.

"You should have given us the TRUE score. "

You keep saying I did not give the true score, and I keep pointing you back to the original post, telling you to pay attention. It seems you are more intent upon making me wrong than looking past your upturned nose. Let me make this very easy on you. Go up to the original post and highlight the entire text of my post as if you were going to "cut and paste" it. After you have highlighted the entire post, read the whole thing. Then you can apologize for claiming I did not give the "TRUE score".

"So, I take it you can't predict the winners of the Academy Awards? "

Do you really think Babel is NOT going to win Best Picture?
