Superstitions and handicapping
Ummm, does anyone else have any?

Nothing really major.
If i have bet a horse named Spot Thedifference (you know the horse well) and i am watching the race from home, it seems to give me good luck by watching it with it on 'mute'. He is 3 from 3 when i have done that When i'm on the track, if i have bet a horse that i considered to be really unlucky and probably should have won (Horatio in the Dewhurst), i will not go near the spot where i watched that race from for the rest of the day. Also, although i have done it previously, i hate betting a horse that has the same trainer/jockey combination as the horse that won the previous race. Unless i really think the horse has a massive chance, i just won't do it. So, in other words, yes..... i am very superstitious

I haven't had a winning day in so long that I am all out of things that bring luck.
I believe that if I have problems even getting to the OTB or track that I will have a bad day. If someone invites me to do something else on Saturday or any other day I plan on going to the races, I turn them down PRIORITIES you know... I will have horrible day. I resent the person that dared invite me to anything. for example this gal at work invited me to her wedding on BC day 2 years ago. Only hit one winner the BC Distaff 1st 2nd and 4th btw ..thanks Steve for the 30-1 shot. anway... I haven't talked to her since Superstituous or actual cause and effect?

i'm not superstitious about anything. i think it's crazy about baseball players for example who won't shave, or wear only certain underwear, things like that. or have to eat the same meal. it's crazy stuff for some people.

I always heard it was bad luck to be superstitious.

I tip everybody. That way it makes the people I deal with winners even when my bets are running 2ond. Never bet Barry Abrams horses when they have a Car wash rag on thier head. Bob Baffert has to has his sunglasses on for me to bet his horse. Mike Mitchell must be in the paddock area before his horse arrives or it's a no bet. I guess these are really rules and not superstitions.
