So, I just learned of the existence of the "Reverse Pyramid" con, wherein you give a huge number of people different predictions about an event, keep track of them, follow up afterwards on those to whom you gave the correct prediction, now with predictions about some other event, and keep repeating until you have only one or two people left but they are convinced, by the statistics of their own past experience, that you are incapable of being wrong. Then you sell them an outlandish prediction at huge cost, change your name and move to Hawaii. Essentially, you weaponise the laws of averages. NERDIEST. CRIME. EVER.
