As I have mentioned a few times already, in my experience sport predictions(and lately I'm starting to agree it may just be anything that doesn't really concern us or we aren't directly related to by another person), doesn't work with the same rules as any other question. And may not be possible to do at all, as it seems to be the consensus.
As I have very nice success rate on questions from people around me and very low success rate on sport predictions, elections etc. And I really don't care about sports. it is, at the end, what makes sense.
So looking at the 2 sport examples doesn't seem a valid idea.
Looking the other 2 examples, I don't understand how this proves the idea of self punishment.
Lets check this:
http://fivearts.org/index.php?topic=578.msg6413#msg6413(the skin condition question).
The person asking on Self line seems to be with the Hai branch. That isn't the day or the month of asking.
That isn't incombination of Day or Month of asking. Unless we count Hai <> Wei as combination and if that is the case, then we will have a lot of other stuff to clear out before we move on to examples.
So I don't see how that relates?
We also doesn't seem to have results of what happened, making it even more challenging to support the idea that here we can see how self punishment works. : )
Edit: If I understand it correctly the outcome was that he healed fast?If so then that would make this example not really showing "self punishment"?
