BETTORS SUPERSTITIONS

[BAINS]

ALl Bettors have superstitions,here's mine.

1) IF I bet a favorite I lock my dog out of the house until the game is over.

2) If we go to a sports bar and certain people aren't working we don't watch the game there.

3) Bars that we've suffered back to back losses, we never go there again.

4) We NEVER PLAY if OPPOSITE SIDES XXXXXXXX is on it. This guy is the worst luck ever. I bet Marshall against Toledo , up 23-0, Sparling showed up to the bar, and he bet Marshall, we left right there knowing we lost, even up 23-0, wasn't surprised even a bit!!!


please , no real names on the forum.

Forgot a few!
5)I won't watch a a game that Brent Musberger is announcing, because it's so annoying when he bet's against you. He makes it obvious he bets, this year he took Kstate against Oklahoma, he'd say "your watching a star growing up" referring to Kstate's QB.

6) The happiest day in my life is when Keith JAckson retired. I never WIN when this guy is announcing the game. I swear he came back out of retirement just to BURN ME SOME MORE!

7) There's this certain parking spot we need at this sport's bar, if we get it we haven't lost yet, when we don't get it we have lost.

I AGREE 100%.Somtimes i just have to take the volume out a put a Nirvana album to calm me down.

 

[BAINS]

He's so loud and it's obvious who he bet. The guy exaggerates and has an annoying voice.

My biggest superstition.......Never stay to watch a game when a person with known bad luck comes down in the basement to watch with you. it never wins

 

[BAINS]

I also sometimes try and seclude myself against known people with bad luck! I also have good luck channels.

I'll throw a few of my superstitions into the ring. Hope to hear what other people's superstitions are so that I won't feel like I'm the only one doing these weird things;

- I think we all know about people's superstitions when checking scores on the internet or a ticker on TV. Scrolling real slow to reveal piece by piece of a team's score. When a game is in progress, checking to see if the team that you bet on is written in the specific colour (usually yellow) to indicate they are winning the game.

- sometimes when watching and my team is on defence, I'll look away and try to judge by the crowd noise or the announcer's voice if it was a good play by my team or not.

- if I'm getting burned by a specific player on the opposing team, I like to walk up to my TV and give that player a couple of slaps on the face. Allows me to vent my anger.

another biggy is when you are watching a game at a bar and the bartender hates you and starts blasting your chocolate milk in the garabage

 

[BAINS]

That happened to you too? WOW small world.

THE all time worst is when you go to a bar

and the stupid bartender has all the games he wants to watch on the TV's. He's supposed to be working, but he treats it like his own basement!

One time we had the 49'ers huge and we asked to watch it and the BARTENDER didn't say yes or No he just started YELLING RAIDERS GAME, RAIDERS GAME, RAIDERS GAME IN OUR FACE!! WE complained and he was suspended from the bar.

 

[Rico the wildman]

I cant stand it when bartnders do this, they think their 2$ sports lottery ticket that pays like 3.25 $ is the most important thing ever.they put all there games on and the customers get pissed so they leave and the owners loses business.the last guy that did this too me and my friends had his tires slashed and pony tail cut off

 

[spanky2]

Keep Mrs. Spanky away from t.v. during ANY sports and DON'T bet with Bowmans.I read your post about them,I still play sometimes with them,BUT they charge 12-10 for 6point -2 team Teasers.And,they charge $25 to send you your cash by UPS.The other places I bet prepay FED Ex and I get my $$ in 2 days.
Bowmans ran a SCAM with 'cash'Pomer last year and I phoned Bowmans customer relations-They got rid of 'cash'Pomer as their pitchman in Ontario.What a FOOL and Scamster he is.He is about THE worst in the 'tout' business....I would pay to slap his scamming bullshit face. I can't believe he is still on Global TV-I complained to them about the scam he ran and got caught-He 'rigged'a pool for a guy named Rudy in Hamilton because Rudy lost so much money betting 'cash'pomer's plays.What a piece on shit...

 

[BAINS]

I know you'd think they'd give priority to gamblers who bet 500$ a game instead of the patsies who play a 2$ sports lottery ticket. I only go to bars where I know the Bartenders now, cause I get so frustrated trying to deal with assoles.

 

[Rico the wildman]

There is this bar that my friend ownes he sold just the food side of the business to some orient guy. now in the front room is where you watch all the games , and in the back room instead of having kar-e- okee the oriental guy puts on weekly karate tournaments. Now the action is entertaining but you cant watch a game with out hearing loud screams and litle kids crying , dont have to mention that I dont go there anymore

 

[BAINS]

Bowman's didn't pay me once 500$ because my brother owed them money back in the days when they didn't use computers. What kind of business are they operating???????

BOWMANS RATING* MICKEY MOUSE OPERATION**

 

[BAINS]

CAN YOU BET ON THOSE KARATE TOURNAMENTS

IS IT LIKE BLOODSPORT, WHAT KIND OF BAR IS THAT??? THAT"S THE CRAZIEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rico the wildman]

if you talk to the owner he will direct you to this old man in the corner and you can make your bets with him,but I last my ass the first couple of weeks until I found out they fix most of the matches by giving the kids free egg rolls and stuff, so I was able to find out results before hand and made some of the money back until the cops busted the operation. they wanted to arrest my friend Lenny but he told them he knew nothing about this . you know WHAT THEY TOLD HIM no joke " You have such innocent eyes we believe you" I can't beleive it since he was the one fixing the matches

oh well now it is just for fun and the kids enjoy it better, and get free food now just for signing up

its a nice atmosphere but cant stand all the yelling and scream the parents do.

 

[BAINS]

Rico i hope you made your money back!

 

[Rico the wildman]

I end up losing money , but learned some moves and found out how to make great eggrolls , so I cant complain

 

[BAINS]

I also hate missing the start of games, there's nothing worse than turning on the TV and find out your favored by 3.5 and down 14-0, that really sucks.

 

[Skinar]

I'm going to try some of these ideas. I need some anti-venom in the worst way right now. I'm riding a 5 day bad streak.

I'm not superstitious - I'm just cautious.
