Question What are your gambling superstitions?

I have a couple main one's. When watching games I have certain items of clothing that seem to bring me the best results, so tend to wear them alot. Most of my cappersmall gear is included in that.

Also since I prefer to listen to music when watching games, I have certain songs or stations to play at certain times in the game. Out there huh? but hey thats what many superstitions are.

Do you have any? if so what are yours?

Like many others, hate when someone calls a game a winner before it's over

It`s weird but, when I bet a baseball game and it`s on TV. I have to watch the first pitch or I feel like I lost my bet if I don`t. Same thing for the NFL. I have to see the kick off if it`s on TV.

believe it or not i have found that outside of football, if i post plays they tend to lose more than if i don't, and i therefore rarily post plays outside of football.

Why this happens I'm not sure, perhaps if I like a play enough to post it I am too biased, while if i don't i have selected it without any ego or intention to prove myself

don't know but that's definitely a superstition of sorts
