I don't like fortune tellers or psychics, to me they're as bad as each other and prey upon people's weaknesses to make money, although those who are in need of hope do get hope, even though it is false hope.

The reason fortune tellers don't win the lottery is because they are fakes as others have said - what they say is usually an educated guess which is why sometimes it is possible to get it right. It really frustrates me when you see people visit these in TV programs and they make out that they are real and that there's something mystical about them. Utter dribble.

It just goes to show what phony baloney that fortune-telling garbage is.

This is a good question. If I could tell the future I'd be winning the lottery and living at the race track, at least until I had enough to buy my own island or something. I wouldn't want to get too greedy.

Because financially they are doing just fine by fleecing suckers who will pay them to read their palms, tea leaves, tarrot cards and gaze into crystal balls.

You figure the 'Psychic Friends Network' just by shear numbers, and the fact that they are a 'network' would win the lottery.

Because they are full of a word that the RIA administrator dosen't want me to use.

Because the advice they got in their Chinese fortune cookie told them it would be a bad day to gamble.

They are too busy skimming people...

Same reason all the bible prophecy goofball miss 9/11 and the killing in VT. It's all just so much BS!

Because their practices are from the pits of hell, and they're phony!

What they do know is that they can take your money if you believe that garbage.

Wait.......It's coming to me........it's.........coming........to........me.. ...I......almost.....have......it.... Damn it, what was the question again?

Maybe it's against their fortunetelling principles.

Caught in a lie, you fortune tellers. Tsk, tsk.

Yeah, and if you call them in an elevator, why can't they tell you what floor you are currently on? And why do they ask for your name?

It's because their visions are so vague. For them to interprept something specific like that would be impossible.

Because fortune tellers can't real tel you your future. Haven't you ever seen the shows on their tricks? THey alwys have some background info on you or something stupid like that .So they'rejust as likely to win the lottery as a two year old.

Then they would be called fortune getters. lol

I guess that would just be showing off...and, you know that if fortune tellers are anything, they're humble.

Becasue fourtane tellers are frauds.

This question would only be relevant if you assumed fortune tellers and their ilk have actual skills or 'powers'.

This question alone should be enough to expose those occultists for the charlatans that they are.

It too closely resembles insider trading.

If they use their talent for any profit, they'll get bad karma. It wouldn't be worth it regardless of. And anyways, most of these people are hacks.

Idiots give them more money and tax free.

I did ask a medium this question once, and he told me that because they are not allowed to gain personal wealth for themselves....or else it will come back to them 3 fold...

Because they're fakes. They don't know the future from a hole in the ground. Crystal balls are also bereft of any special powers of divination, as are Tarot cards, tea leaves, or lines on the palms of your hands. Mind you, if they did win the lottery, they might be denied their winnings for cheating, so why bother?

Because it's much more fun to rip off gullible people than buy a lotto ticket.

Because they know the day they do they'll die in a freak accident.

With great power, comes great responsibiliy.
