Never calling a game in the bag until the clock reads 0:00.
When I have a big play, not posting it since it seems every big play I ever post I lose.
Never playing blackjack when one of my buddies is broke and decides to come over and "watch". (usually means he is looking for some cash to play with)

Several years ago I had a real good run in college baskets. I remember early in the season I placed a very sizeable wager well beyond my usual 2% of bankroll and for the fun of it ran into the bedroom and came out to watch the game wearing black cowboy boots, a black leather western vest, a black ten gallon hat and nothing else.
Mrs. Jones already knew I was crazy but she still got a good laugh out of and it WORKED. Later I found it worked only for college baskets, but that season I exceeded the 2% rule quite regularly and got away with it, especially knowing that Seth Greenberg's South Florida Bulls always fade away as the conference schedule wears on. I'll be watching for that at Virginia Tech.
That first bet was on the Pitt Panthers. Well I rode that horse virtually all season with the same outfit. It was quite funny but I did get chastized by Mrs. Jones later in the season when I inadvertantly answered the door to pay for the pizza [the delivery guy almost dropped it] in that outfit.
As my bankroll grew and the bet amount increased, I suffered one bad beat. The outfit had been so good to me that I still wore it, but I changed my pregame routine by sneaking out and pissing on the eastern wall of the house [the Big East} prior to tip off of the Pittsburgh games. This got me back on another hot streak.

But a few 'habits' I have....Sometimes I post when I`m losing....Hoping the game will swing and give me the reverse jinx....
If something is working I will continue to create the same situation , I have even driven to the lucky payphone
occasionally.... I can acyually drive by payphones and remember bets I have made on them several years later....I believe gamblers remember this stuff, I know
do

Fish,
I think it's too late unless you can get my phone # from Pat or still can read this. We can't get there till almost game time. If somehow you get this post we could meet at a certain gate maybe at half time or after the game. Sorry I missed this post until now.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Do not look at extra point attempts in games that you bet. Mr. Jones

I seem to have developed a couple superstitions the last 2 months or so. Has everyone seen Silver Linings Playbook? I thought the scene where Robert Deniro had to have his remotes in a certain spot was pretty crazy. Well, I'm embarrassed to say I have to have my phone on the right side of me and not the left. If I check a score on my phone I have to unlock my phone with my right hand and touch MLB baseball with right thumb. Ugh. If I'm laying on my bed watching a game I have to cross my right leg over my left. Not left over right. That's all I'd like to admit at this point.
