Superstitions, jinxes, hexes, etc... are for suckers.

All superstition ever did for me was bring me bad luck.

Goat sacrifices. Winning or losing, it can't hurt. Except for the goat.

I get very angry when announcers say that a player on the free throw line never misses one, because you know what is going to happen. I wish the announcers would not say things like that, are they deliberately trying to jinx someone? Holy molie, miss Mollie! I like to look the player in the eye, so to speak,; and tell him that he is going to make the shot. I really believes that helps. Also I tell the opposing team they are going to miss the shot. Seriously, it has worked.
