My bets do much better when I don't pay attention to them . Has anyone else had this phenomenon ?

If I'm watching a game or following the game on an app my winning percentage goes down 10%.

If I bet the game and ignore it and come back hours later or even the next day to check the result my winning percentage goes up 10%.

And if I'm at the game and I bet on it my percentage goes down 20%.
I have learned not to bet on games that I attend.

not these exact scenarios but I have my own superstitions...but we both know they are all nonsense....was at casino earlier playing craps today and in middle of good roll, guy holds up game...we all know what came next...and yes I was one also giving him shit, but really that's what caused the bad #?

If I ignore a game and find out I'm winning but the game is still going on I can't help but tune in and more often than not I'll end up losing.

Once I place the bet I won't look at the score for at least 45 min to hour. Whether it's winning or losing I won't watch and I'll check back around 6-7th then won't check again until 9th. If I'm winning and it's close I'll exit out and check back when I know it's over.

I always check the score before I open my account. I've never just opened my account without checking scores first.
