as the greatest sports bettor of all time, I can confidently say that superstitions are BOGUS! just do proper research and you'll win, I think I've won 23 of my last 24 bets by doing proper research and following my gut
You might be just manifesting the results from superstitious beliefs. Like thinking that maybe something happened because you did something specific is what strengthens this belief.
Superstitions can be fun to learn about but it may throw you off of your game. Sometimes, people get too anxious about following a certain ritual or method that they end up not doing well playing afterwards.
This is what I am worried about if I think about superstitions.
