Ugh please only do this with long cables (that you need to, say, throw across a stage). The nice thing about this wrap style is that the net twist of the cable is 0. The terrible thing is that if the person opening the cable doesn't expect it, they get a big knot and a jolt of frustration.
Not only will a properly wrapped cable (with the natural twist and loop size of the cable) whether straight or over-under unwrap without knotting if unwrapped correctly, it will hugely extend the life of the cable over something like folding them.
