Yes.

So you're asking me what causes events that have no cause, and I think the
answer to that question is rather obvious.

I don't play poker but I am not unfamiliar with the word "prediction".

Nevertheless if Many Worlds is correct (and I don't know that it is) then
there are a infinite (or perhaps only a astronomical) number of John
Clark's that do operate under that theory, and as a result in many of those
worlds John Clark is a very poor poker player. But in some worlds (perhaps
a infinite number of them) John Clark is a professional poker player and
because of that theory has never lost a single game in his entire life.
