I don't believe in superstitions and think that winning and losing, even in sports betting, really depends on random stuff.
While most in gambling are based on luck, sports bet is different, sure it still based on luck but on the player's side. And you choosing your bet based on odds is based on some facts, analyzing stats, and of course a little luck. Unless you just bet a random sports then choose who will win then you got luck to win. Lol

If everything were so simple, the best sports analysts would become the richest people in the world. But this is far from the case. They also make mistakes in their forecasts. But they make mistakes not because they devote little time to analytics, but because there are cases when underdogs beat favorites due to random circumstances and random mistakes of favorites. It is in such matches that luck plays a huge role.

Personally, I still remember the Argentina - Saudi Arabia match at the 2022 World Cup. Then Saudi Arabia beat the clear favorite with a score of 2-1 precisely because of a random coincidence. Analytics in such matches is powerless, no matter how strong it is.
