If your favorite Cricket team has entered the finals, it is hard to control that excitement. Predictions are something that you just can’t avoid that day. There are many cricket experts who predict things on the basis of various factors and obviously their knowledge; however, we also find certain social media users who try to act as “Cricket gurus” by predicting anything and everything ahead of the match.
We have a brilliant example of a so-called Cricket guru; he had posted a series of tweets ahead of the Mumbai-Pune IPL final match and you’ll be surprised to know that he got all 9 predictions right. However, after knowing his trick, you might lose trust in such social media predictions, especially the ones on Twitter.
Firstly, let us have a look at what all he tweeted…
1st prediction was about the toss and fortunately, it was correct!

His 2nd tweet was about Rahul Tripathi getting out under 10 runs and this too was right as the cricketer scored only 3 runs.

The user predicted 0 no balls! Whopppieee, he won once again!

Parthiv won’t score more than 10 runs; yo baby, he was right as the cricketer scored 3 runs!

His tweet about Smith’s strike rate being less than 100 went wrong; the cricketer maintained a rate of 102. This was almost close, but still we will treat this too as correct

Rightly predicted Pollard’s six; he faced 3 balls and hit 1 six.

Are you surprised or are you thinking he’s God that he got so many predictions right? The answer is NO! Now, we’ll like to show you the age-old trick which people have using to fool others on social media platforms. Don’t hate him after knowing it.
How did he predict everything correctly?
Well this is a very old trick that was even used during FIFA world cup. Check some steps;
1. Create new Twitter account
2. Tweet every possible outcome you can think of. For example Mumbai will win in 11th over upto Mumbai will win in 20th over.
3. Do it for player scores also.
4. Wait for the result and delete your wrong guesses.
5. Share your tweets to gain followers, everyone will think that you’re genius.
Got it? So this is the secret behind his genius mind. You too can try this during the next match and become a sensation on social media, just like this user.
