You can still do that even without changing the timestamp. Back in the old days of the internet, people used to get famous by claiming they predicted all the results of the FIFA World Cup by posting every possible outcome and then deleting those where they were wrong. Then, they would publicize their account just before the final match, and people would go wild.

before this people used to send out stock predictions by mail to power of 2 people with each prediction and its opposite, eventually you get down to a person who you have always sent the correct prediction.

  That was a scam used for betting. Call this phone number for your free “lock”. Half got team a, half team b. They did it twice then asked those who were winning and kept calling to pay for the next prediction.

Just realized the French lottery is only 19 068 840 combinations. You could send spam to 19 millions people, each with a number saying you can predict the lottery, and if they send you 10 000 euros in BTC, you could give them the next one.
