OK I will tell you both of these weird habits.
I bet some of you have weird habits so maybe since im telling you mine, you will tell me yours.
1) I dont watch nearly every game I bet on but when I do when the game is over if the play wins I will verbally thank the team that won me the bet.
For instance if I bet on the Braves and they win I will say verbally every last time thank you Braves for winning that for me.
Even if there is someone in the room I will figure out a way to say thank you verbally without causing a scene. Yes I know its stupid.
I just have this superstition that if I thank them, they will help me with future plays.
Yes I know. Its insane! LOL but I have been doing it since my first bet ever.
Even if its not a game I watched. If I see the score on the bottom of the screen on ESPN and it won I will thank them while watching sports center.
True story sadly.
#2) Yes this one is worse.
I only do this one when im watching a baseball game on TV that I bet on the total.
It cant be done any other way. Otherwise I would probably do it for all games.
I have only been doing this one for 2 years because it was not possible until the last 2 years.
Here goes.
If you have Direct TV and the MLB extra inning package you know that you can watch the broadcast feed from both teams.
For instance if you are watching the Cubs and the Cards you can take your pick and either watch the Cubs version or the Cards version.
You have this option with every game.
If I bet a total.
If I bet the under I put the channel on the team thats pitching.
After every half inning I switch the channel to home broadcast of the team thats pitching.
The reason I do this is because Im pulling for that team at that moment so I might as well show my support by watching there home broadcast while that teams pitcher is pitching. I want to see him get the other team out.
Then I will switch over to the other broadcast when the other teams pitcher pitches because I want him to get everyone out to.
If the game goes under I of course thank both teams verbally for pitching well and hitting bad.
If I bet the over I will do the opposite.
I will put it on the channel of the team batting because I want them to score runs.
So I put it on the team thats hittings home broadcast so I can support them because I want them to score. I do this 18 times during the game.
Then if it goes over I verbally thank the pitchers for sucking and the hitters for being awesome.
I have several times told myself this is stupid and idiotic.
I have told myself "Im not going to do this anymore"
So every once in while I will force myself not to do these dumb superstitions anymore.
Guess what happens next?
Yes you guessed it. A big losing streak starts so I go back to doing it again.
LOL
There you go.
Does anyone else do anything remotely this dumb?
