Fortune telling has always been influential in Chinese society. In recent years, internet users have increased considerably in number. This has led to attention to internet-related behavior and characteristics. This study aims to understand the motivation and behavior pattern for Taiwanese users of on-line fortune telling. This paper proposes a method that links the rough set theory, Bayesian network and decision tree modeling for causal analysis. According to our research, usage of on-line fortune telling is related to users' religion and online religion experience. On the other hand, there are a growing number of well-educated people and full-time workers who use online fortune telling. Data mining results for targeting marketing to on-line users can offer Internet enterprises information for marketing decision making.
