FAN SUPERSTITIONS
Insight: Research of 2,000 people who watch sport revealed 25 per cent will carry out unusual
rituals ahead of a game to help improve their luck for a good result.
Two-thirds of sports fans are superstitious about game days; 40% think a family member is bad

23% of people say they don’t wash their stuff if they win. This is true with athletes aswell
WALKING BACKWARDS
Then there's the unusual superstition of walking backwards. Some sports bettors believe that
walking backwards can bring good luck. This superstition is thought to be derived from the concept
of reversing bad luck or negative energy. By walking backwards, sports bettors hope to turn negative
energy into positive energy and increase their chances of winning.
In some cases, sports bettors may walk backwards to the betting counter or around the betting
centre before placing their bets. Others may walk backwards to their seats or stand facing away
from the game before making their predictions. And get this, some sports bettors even believe that
walking backwards out of a game centre after a win can help them to continue their winning streak.
While kissing a bet slip or wearing a lucky shirt may seem like a harmless and even humorous
superstition, it is important to remember that at the end of the day, the outcome of a game is
determined by a combination of skill, strategy, and luck. Sports bettors should focus on making
informed and rational decisions based on their knowledge and analysis of the game.
Kissing one's betslip is a superstition that has been around for a long time, and it's still popular
among many sports bettors today. The idea behind it is that by kissing your betslip, you'll bring good
luck and increase your chances of winning. But it's not just a matter of simply kissing the betslip.
Many sports bettors have specific rituals they follow when kissing their betslip, such as kissing it
three times or blowing on it before placing it on the counter. Some bettors even carry their betslip
around with them throughout the day, kissing it periodically to keep the good luck flowing. One
example of this superstition in action comes from a professional sports bettor named Billy Walters.
He once kissed his betslip before placing a $3.5 million bet on the New Orleans Saints to win the
Super Bowl. The Saints went on to win the game, and Walters walked away with a massive payout.
CROSSING OF FINGERS
Another superstition that some sports bettors follow is the act of crossing their fingers while placing
a bet. They believe that by doing so, they can increase their chances of winning. This belief is rooted
in the idea that crossing your fingers creates a positive energy that can influence the outcome of a
game or protect their ticket selection.
According to the belief, by crossing one’s fingers, a person may invoke a positive energy that can
help you make better predictions and increase your luck. Some sports bettors may also combine this
gesture with other lucky rituals, such as wearing a specific item of clothing or carrying a lucky
charm. It may seem like a small action, but it can make a big difference for these bettors.

Headline: The cliché is true! Cold weather freezes dolphins
If you'd like to zoom things in a bit tighter, the Dolphins are 0-4 in
sub-40-degree games during the 2020s.
The Dolphins have lost 10 straight games where the kickoff temperature is
below 40 degrees, which is the longest active streak in the NFL
#4 UNDERDOG
Numerology enthusiasts have a field day in sports betting, but some take it to delightful
extremes. Consider the bettor who only places bets based on the Fibonacci sequence:
“Just placed my bet for $1, then $1, then $2, $3, and $5. Let the Fibonacci magic work!
#SportsBetting.” This bettor is clearly banking on a little mathematical wizardry to tilt the
odds.
Astrology and sports betting: a match made in the stars. Some bettors genuinely believe
their chances hinge on planetary alignments. “Mercury’s in retrograde, and my ex texted
me. Only betting on the underdogs today. #Astrology #SportsBetting” Tweeted one
fervent believer. When cosmic forces and past relationships dictate your betting
strategy, what could possibly go wrong?
Falcons led 28-3. 28 + 3 = 31. 3-1. Warriors blew a 3-1 lead
