What are your superstitions on a big bet?

[mathdotcom]

Do you turn computer off and meditate?
Ticker watch?
What if game is on TV?

I do NOT check my bets on ESPN as it has never been kind to me
Prefer SBR odds
Also if it is on TV I will not watch but will watch a different game and watch the sports ticker at the bottom that rolls thru all the sports etc

For math guy I am very superstitious and have all these issues that come with it

Quit making big bets , they always lost.

All bets are the same now.

[ApricotSinner32]

Read stupid threads while the game is going on.

When broads root plays for me I do really well maybe you need to treat her better

I'm not SUPERstitious... but I am a little stitious. And therefore I never watch anything I bet on unless it's MMA. If I bet the Under on a Baseball game the very second I tune into the game... even if it's by accident... a guy with a batting average of around .157 will hit a Grand Slam.

Depends on WTF is going on. If I am watching, and they're doing good - I literally can't move. If I am not watching, and they're doing good - basically try to avoid anything that has any info on the game, while sneaking glances at ESPN/SBR live odds randomly.

If they're winning when I click to the game, and then they start to give back the lead - immediately switch off. Vice versa.

Not real static superstitions, I just think that I am either the reason they're winning, or the moosh.

Used to hit rally bongs if they're losing, or bong hits when they're winning - don't think that was a superstition though.

I like to stand on a ladder throughout the game...

Turn off the phones

Its not the big bet its always the 4th bet usually the last bet for the day that trips me.

I make most of my big bets in vegas. I usually go to 3 different sports books and put $2000 on each. I guess that is my biggest superstition. I like picking up 3 big tickets at different books too I guess, but also I don't like getting noticed for betting 5 or 6K.

But during the game, I won't check scores. I'll just play $15 a hand black jack to waste time.

I hate watching the games, I usually use a lot of reverse psychology on my bets. I swear when you think negative things start turning around for the better, at least for me anyway. I've also noticed that when I go to sleep or dont even watch my bets they seem to be winners most of the time. Pretty weird..
