Not true. You cannot prove that Paul is not psychic, you can use math to demonstrate a possibility, or even a probability, but you have no evidence to show that the octopus is not using psychic powers.
And the idea that gambling exists doesn't prove anything about psychic abilities. It only proves that probably 99.9 percent of the people in this world are not psychic, and therefore "gamble."
I don't really think that psychic abilities are that mysterious either. Imagine a brain that could filter all present and past factors in a given situation and accurately predict the outcome of something based upon that information. Sound familiar? hehe...
Are you sure that Paul isn't a football expert? Perhaps he's been absorbing information via the TV's in the bar for the last 2 years and his conclusions are based upon this accumulated data. We are not talking rocket science here, its just another sport, of which most are quite easy to comprehend, even for a mollusk
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio....
