True. Like if someone gets buried they feel they somehow jinxed themselves by posting on a message board when in reality, they just had the matchup all wrong..

but the jinxing notion is entertained ingame too. during the UF/FSU game a pretty sharp UF alumnus told me to stop mentioning good first half plays cause I might jinx them. I just laughed it off. After Halftime sure enough FSU comes out strong.

i know he means "act like you've been there" but i'm starting to believe superstition runs rampant with gamblers.

I don't believe in superstitions like that - they're unlucky (thanks Yogi).

Lol
I guess one could say believing in Luck is superstition, too.

I get it.

...

What about "a mush"...same concept right? someone who "jinxes" your wager? You all joke but these ideas are cemented in a gambler's psyche. they want every edge they can get.
