For anyone who's interested in sports, it's crossed your mind at least once before. Over the last couple years I've gotten into sports betting and have placed bets based on some of my crazy conspiracy theories. Personally I think sports in general is fixed.

Let me elaborate on some of my research. Simple gematria has been around for ages. I noticed that "Superbowl" in simple gematria adds up to be 131 and "Championship" also adds up to 131. The past winners of the Superbowl has had players that joined their team that year when they won. Just for the record, this is just for the winning teams. Here's some stats for the past 10 Superbowls.

Spoiler!


Last year was the first time betting on the Superbowl. On top of the 131 connections, Peyton Manning was set to retire in 2016. He's highly known in the NFL and I felt they helped him get a final Superbowl win before he retired.

I also decided to bet on the NBA using 131 as my foundation for research. As we all know, The Cavs beat the Warriors. Before the series started, I did some research and noticed Lebron James had 127 career playoff wins. If the Cavs were to win the playoffs, he would end up with 131 wins. As I dug deeper into my research, numerology seemed to play a big role and 131 wasn't the only number I was looking at. I was now looking into numbers that lined up. Cleveland's area code is 216, and year was 2016. The final score of Game 6 was 115 and 101. 115+101=216. Lebron James is also known as "King James". The real King James was born on June 19th. Lebron James wins the series on June 19th. Another thing that made me confident that Cavs were definitely going to win was the fact that Nike had just signed him to the biggest contract in history. He was also rumored to be in the new Space Jam movie.
Some more interesting NBA numbers. In honor of Kobe Bryant retiring last year, the NBA declares April 13th to be "Mamba Day". Mamba day in simple gematria is 60. Kobe Bryant scored 60 points in his final game on April 13th.

I figured if the NFL and NBA are fixed, the NHL must be as well! The Pittsburgh Penguins added Bryan Rust who's birthday is May 11th (131th day of the year) and Nick Bonino whos birthday adds up to 131. I never ended up betting on the Penguins because I wasn't too confident in myself at the time.

I wish I had screen shot the date I placed my bets for the Cavs and Bronco's. I have a hunch on who's going to win the Superbowl in Feb and I've screen shotted it now and I'll post it when it's all over.


What do you guys think? Am I crazy? Do you guys think there's any merit to my findings or if there are actually any connections between numerology and sports?
Do you think the Earth is flat?

And the Cleveland Indians also blew a 3-1 lead...

Probably looked like a good bet against the Patriots going into the 3rd quarter... but Tom Brady beats all those numbers...
