How superstitious are you with your bets?

I feel that if I post my bets and talk them up, they don't do as well. If I keep it to myself, I usually win big. I'd like to post picks, but not at the expense of making money.

Also, I feel that some people "mush" games for me, whether they trail me, watch the game with me or even if they're in the same room with me.

Do you think positivity helps? Every time my roommate starts "locking it up," we lose. Every time the game is in danger, he says a lot of negative stuff and we lose. When there is a positive energy from the start, we fare pretty well. He doesn't buy it, though.

I've heard people warn others about never saying "lock" and know there are a lot of superstitions.

What do you guys think?

Superstions are bogus and have no bearing on the ultimate result of anything.

If you don't talk it up, how would we know which game(s) to fade (or follow)??? LOL

You need to find a new roommate!!!

Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.

ive posted this before at this forums but feel the need to repeat it

whenever you call 1-800-555-TELL, make sure you ask for the team you are betting "against", not the team you are betting "on". Your win % will increase by approx. 7%

the positive and negative energy happens on both sides of a bet. Doesnt matter which side you are on, you will always have confidence and doubts.

What you are describing is not called superstition. Its called energy, and its all around us. Negative energy attracts negativity, and positive attracts positivity. Your thoughts have more power than you think. Peace.
