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

Last superbowl. Me and a buddy are watching at the Stratosphere in Vegas. Among many bets, we have the Cardinals +3.5 at halftime. The Cards have 1st down at Pitts 1-yd line with :18 seconds to go in the half down 10-7. My buddy says "Well, at least we have our halftime bet won." I just looked at him, you know what happened next.
My reply was "When the fuckin' clock says 00:00 thats when we have a winner". I learned this lesson LONG AGO.

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 usually do not post very often ,but after reading this great thread, I could not help myself.
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 !!

My wife is not permitted to know the size of my bankroll. EVER.
Took me 20 years to train her.

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.
