>Predicting football games? Well, to each their own. Does it work?
I've used it for lots of things. Testing it. Seeing if it works.
I think it does. Hell, it works really well for me; I've missed very few calls, but then again, my team doesn't lose much. (My record is like 90% in predicting outcomes, but I enjoy much more trying to tease out details of the outcome.)
But it doesn't work by just giving you answers. Interpretation, mastery of the symbolism is key.
Also, it is surely just a projection of mine, but the yijing seems to know if you are trying to abuse it...will give you nothing but Hex #4 when it thinks so!
But I've used it for insights into all sorts of things: presidential elections, surgery, romance, etc.
>I don't use the I Ching for divination myself, but as situation-based advice (i.e. to get a fresh perspective on things).
I use it to predict things in a similar way. I never take a reading to mean "this will definitely happen". I take a reading as describing a current situation, the entrances and possible exists from that situation, and the consequences of certain behaviors within the context of the situation.
In this way, applied to football, it usually tells me not who will win but what is necessary to win. I then look to the football program I am interested in to see if they are following the Way, as it were.
This has some strange synchronicity with the team I am interested as the Coach teaches what I take to be like the Dao of Football.
>Right now I primarily use the Wilhelm and Richter ones.
My goto is the one at the Chinese Text Project. It is a Legge translation, but the links to the Chinese make it indispensable.
I Ching: The Classic Chinese Oracle of Change : The First Complete Translation With Concordance is useful in a similar way.
And Essentials of Yi Jing for the detail it goes into explaining inter-line relationships.
And The Classic of Changes: A New Translation of the "I Ching" as Interpreted by Wang Bi for the incredibly helpful commentary by Wang Bi.
>I'm pretty broke right now
To the library then!
I'm going to recommend the complete opposite of what most people might, don't look for anything else for awhile, stick to one system until you feel you have fully mastered it. I can however recommend the alternate techniques from this book for enriching your connection to the system:

Thanks, that did help! Follow up question; what do you think of Thomas Cleary's pocketbook version (this one which is a bare bones translation with a very short introduction)? I'm planning to use it as a portable version once I know the text better, but for now it's not very easily comprehensible without some further context. Any comments on the quality of translation?
This took me a while to get through; I think you'd be able to get more out of it than I did.
