What superstitions do you have when you bet?

[The Wanderer]

Probably more to your question if say a football team I bet really needs a first down, or is facing third and goal and I really need a TD instead of a FG I’ll stand up and get ultra close to the TV. Then if they convert I’ll do it every time I need them to come through in the clutch the rest of the game, and the thought that goes through my head and my reasoning for this is “They need me.” As if the guys need my all-in support of getting up from the couch and moving a foot away from the TV to convert in the given situation.

This part totally resonated with me I often do the same. No one can convince me that these rituals don't help in some way.

Excellent thread, boldhead. And please dont take offense but I first thought your name was bonehead and had to correct my post.

Had been looking for this thread. First I'm not betting any Celtics game the rest of season, they just do the opposite every time.

But jokes aside. If I bet on a game and I cant watch the first minute live, I'll check a score app before tuning in and if they're winning I won't watch the game until the first period/quarter/half/set/whatever is done.

I also have a small wooden buddha and when a future bet is one game away from cashing, I'll rub its belly.

I've also been known to pull that Rudy move with the stat screen.
