Soccer Betting

I read this book Blink that was all about thinking with out thinking. Basically it studied our unconscious thoughts, like what we think of someone the first time we meet them, or why we feel safe here and not there.

It explored this one man's ability to determine when a tennis player was going to miss a serve a second time in a row. He could do it while watching the person live, or on TV. He studied and studied, but he never could figure out how he could do it.

Then there was this other man who could tell which horse would win a race, based on who he was lined up next to. For example, if the horse had lost to a mare early in his career, being next to a mare would be detrimental to his performance.

And it made me wonder, there has got to be someone out there with soccer picks and he doesn't realize he knows, but he does. I wonder if there are people like that everywhere, who always win the soccer betting, and it wasn't in the book because soccer is not very big in America. I wonder if he could go around giving seminars on his soccer tips, helping everyone be better at soccer betting.
