I did once thinking I would win and got buried, I have never done it again. I lit candles and everything praying to the Lord for winners that one Sunday when I was down $9500 to a tough bookmaker. I am still ashamed for using the church that way.

#2You'll have better luck trying to locate the time travel car from Back to the Future 2. If you recall Biff, received the Sports Almanac from his older self. He used this to place winning wagers.
Although Marty McFly eventually stole the Almanac back from Biff......Comment -

#3JJ I honestly said a prayer to God for the Colts to cover last week, and they pushed. I think I did myself a disservice because while I remained a devout catholic all throughout the week, I started to get cocky as they took a 17 pt lead and all it went in the shitter. Maybe it's because the last time I stepped in a church was for some chicks wedding, and I only did that so I could attend the reception after for the open bar.Comment -

#4JJ I forgot to mention that when the Colts took that 17 pt lead, I ripped the cross off my neck and stomped on it. Did you do something similar only to have your team blow it's lead?Comment -

#10So you are praying to a fantasy character from a book of myths and legends to help you win bets on football? And people in this forum think that I am crazy.Comment -

#11I always say a prayer before I go surfing, some thing like "Dear lord please dont let me get eaten today by a shark". I was in the water once when a guy was killed by a Bull Shark here, its not something you ever forget.Other than that I wouldnt ask God to take a side on a wager of mine, just doesnt feel right.

It shouldn't feel right because it is not right. Don't do, let God do more important things than pad our pockets with lucky picks.Comment -

#14I use to take a female acquaintance to a sportsbook with me, and right when it was tight and about to finish she use to start praying for my picks, at first it was comical but then I had to tell her to stop - she was giving me bad luck.
Like JJ says don't do it guys.Comment -
