Gambling Susperstition Poll Question

[savage1]

Do any of you have any susperstitions good or bad when it comes to gambling?
I have one and it never fails to be wrong:
On any day when I turn a light on and the bulb pops(no more juice in it), it usually signifies that I am going to lose on that day or at the very least to be real careful;it is eerie that it is unfortunately right a lot more times than it is wrong.
Does anyone have any similar experiences or beliefs?
ps No bulbs popped today thank god, which is no guarantee that I will have a winning day either.

I have a few:

My house needs to be clean...

I need to be showered before the game starts...

And if I post plays I lose, that's why I never post anymore, maybe a prop here and there.

I used to be Susperstition. I try to fight the temptation.

As stupid as it sounds no looking at porn will a game is on, or no marking down w's even if you have a (5 run lead) , (15 point lead), (3 touchdown lead)

Vinny-good thinking;I might try it. Seriously, though are you just being facetious or have you also experienced the "popping light syndrome?" I am beginning to think that the light popping comes from the hereafter as a warning to be careful;it has happened too many times to me to be sheer coincidence.

I aslo do not look at porn......i dont bet if i am hanging out with my girlfriend or when i am with my mom because they HATE gambling and hope i lose so i will stop and it seems like i always lose when i am around them.

I never write down a 'w' until the game is OVER. I don't care how big a lead is; the game isn't over till it is over.... been burned too many times.

Never, EVER give the early call and call a game over when it isn't, or mark it down as a 'W'. Also, NEVER gamble on travel days. Whenever I am going on an airplane I get my ass handed to me!

[savage1]

I agree with the philosophy of never marking down the W until the game is over.
On the other hand, I have tried the opposite approach when a game seems lost and marking down the L and then seeing my team come back and win;it can cut both ways sometimes.

Most of my superstitions involve gambling on the golf course. There are just a few shirts I will wear to a good golf game. The other shirts are left for work days or bs golf games.
On sports gambling I have changed clothes, changed watches or ball caps between games to try and change my luck. My wife knows what going on when I start changing clothes during the middle of the afternoon.
