    despite being a math guy, I am superstitious as shit. Will try not to check scores at all till game is over, don't watch games, bad luck to watch games.

      Yes.

      Bets ending in 0 and watching games has everything to do with the outcome

      I agree

        I use to know this guy,who was a big bettor on the NFL. He would bet the games....and his action was to find the scores and read about the games,while taking the train into work on Monday mornings!!

                I know its irrational, I have no belief that it actually effects the outcome of the game. Just a bit of OCD. Keep a spreadsheet of bet results. If I grade past wagers, I will lose that night.

                  Yes. Sometimes I notice the team Im betting on doing better if Im tuning in for that time or if not tuning in, depending on which determines if I keep watching or keep it off.

                                Once you understand LT you will understand...

                                The guy is retired and just uses model to post plays

                                Zero money involved

                                Only way possible to say he lives off his winnings...

                                Winnings are his hard work in all his years at his career like it should be...

                                      Debating on whether to move near there or make the 2 hour drive home every day..

                                      Put in a request to be working from home 3 of 5 days

                                                Sometimes after making a bet, I just know it was the wrong play or feel like I've been suckered into it. I almost always end up losing those plays.

                                                It's like the post bet intuition is very strong, strong enough to fade myself at times I guess. But I don't. It feels like one of the few mistakes I make over and over. Not buying back after feeling like the bet was bad.

                                                It's the tough part about betting with strict criteria and not emotion, we see some bets lose and almost see it coming.

                                                  Understandably

                                                  But that's why we are here. You can cuss every mother fukker out and we will act like nothing happened the next day.

                                                      during football season I never buy orange juice, apple juice, or any kind of juice

                                                      I pay enough juice for football so I am sure I get vitamin C from that

                                                        It's like the post bet intuition is very strong, strong enough to fade myself at times I guess. But I don't. It feels like one of the few mistakes I make over and over. Not buying back after feeling like the bet was bad.

                                                        It's the tough part about betting with strict criteria and not emotion, we see some bets lose and almost see it coming.
                                                        Yup. The thing is if you buy back it might win

                                                          The superstition "pays off" tonight. Had live Dodgers bet, bottom of 11 down 2-1, game on mute, Taylor comes up, grounds out, gotta do something different and fast, so I unmute and turn volume down because Im listening to a podcast of a guy who's previewing the Big Ten West in college football. Seeger comes up, cool, doubles to right, great, I no doubt leave game unmuted since something good is happening with the change, Turner up next, cool, he's 2nd in the majors in batting, they walk Turner with 1st open with double play in mind, well ok. Farmer pinches for Baez, I can live with that, Farm's hitting well this season. Volume's still up, he doubles to right bringing in Seeger and Turner to win the game 3-2. Go Blue.

                                                            When favorites win too much, underdogs will show up. When too many -1000 favorites win, start fading those lines. More like parity than superstitious.
                                                            Bet on monday night and thursday night home dogs on NFL betting to win more than 50% of the time.
                                                            Bet on super bowl champs Week 1 on NFL betting to win more than 50% of the time.
                                                            Bet on the striker over the grappler on MMA betting to win more than 50% of the time.
