Why are so many sports people superstitious?

[Rich Boy]

Its common in every sport. coaches, players, fans...

Doesnt make any difference in the outcome yet these fools will follow their rituals until they die.

They are all victims of gamblers fallacy.

[ACoochy]

Very true. See it on these boards day in and day out..

[Jimmy Proffett]

I hear it's bad luck to start a thread about superstitions

[greenhippo]

I feel the same way, I always think that if I follow a game live that I wagered on, I can't win.

[Smoke]

Its very real one day you will see
