never fails, everytime they say well you are going to win, you lose always--
Never figured out why that happens, but it does.

#31 Posted: 9/25/2011 9:35:55 PM If I make a bet against a team I NEVER wear a color that is on their uniform. Last year on the Monday night game Ravens/Texans, I had the Ravens -4 and needed a cover to hit a 4 team parlay.
The Texans scored late to tie it at 20-20 and we go to overtime...I realize I had red on my shirt, took it off and threw it in the corner. First play of overtime Schaub gets picked off and the Ravens scored 27-20 was the final. winner, winner...chicken dinner!

I really do not have too many quirks for sports gaming except in the NFL. I do not bet any Sunday Nitro or Monday Night Games. Maybe I am crazy ,but sometimes these games seem shady. ( Like no points scored in the 4th Quarter of the Giants /Rams game when the total was stuck on 44) .And I do not want to go heavy on a game that is " The Only Game In Town".
As far as the casino goes ..When I walk into the casino, I always go in a side entrance where fewer enter. I wait until nobody is around except my friends,and I throw my wallet about 10 feet or so in front of me as a sacrifice to the "Gambling Gods". One of my friends usually stands beyond the 10 foot mark to make sure some stranger does not swoop in and grab my wallet. I also will tell a casino employee what I am about to do if one is there so they do not think I am nuts. Crazy ?? Well it works for me !!

#37 Posted: 9/27/2011 2:16:19 PM Many years ago, while trying to jinx a punter, my brother and his friends yelled at the TV....
"Snap it over his head! Your mother's a person!"
...well it worked so now every once in a while I will shout the same thing at as a punter stands ready to take the long snap. |

I have tamed down mine a bit, but when I had a Gambling CREW we had the strangest gambling superstitions that we would employ--
1- Bad LUCK BARS and Bartenders-
The first time we go to a New BAR and we bet a big game and WIN we know its a good LUCK BAR and whoever is bartending is ALSO good luck- If we lose at a BAR early on, we all make an agreement that that BAR is BAD LUCK and BANNED--
2- On really big BETS when we go out, we all have to wear a SHIRT with some GREEN on it---
3- During the MLB playoffs, we would have a routine that me and my 2 partners would take turns standing outside the BAR while our pitcher was on the mound. Ex- first guy stands outside, after one out, then second guy goes and stands outside also and then when the 3rd out happens we are all outside the BAR standing--
4-No Contact with BAD LUCK FRIENDS- bad luck friends are the ones who always ask how MUCH you bet and HOW much you are UP or down-- These people are to be avoided--
5-Good luck MUSIC- We would have the chosen SONGS playing in the CAR before the big games and big bets--
6- Seeing a TAXI CAB on the way to the big bet, Taxi CABS are just absolutely the best LUCK EVER --
We had the PATS huge over the Raiders in playoffs with the TUCK RULE and the PATS were coming back and we were seeing Taxis outside the bar, then when the PATS were ready to win the game in OT, I swear a TAXI was trying to DRIVE right through the front door of the bar--
7- At Home on football on critical downs we would all take turns rushing the TV, we would line up in the family room, and rush the TV to try and confuse the QB-- sometimes we would all line up together and one or two of us would drop back in coverage and really confuse the QB--
8- Never bet against Steelers on Monday night because they are possessed like werewolfs.
9- Leaving phone messages on the bookies answering machine with songs such as "I just called to say I love you" Then he wonders who is doing this.
#7 made me laugh out loud |
