I have three:

1) if my socks or shoes touch a table even by chance, say ironing and being careless - yes i iron my socks and not my shoes but gf has a habit of putting shoes on a resting area (they count) I cannot have  bet that day

2) anyone crosses me on a stairwell at any point, i can no longer have a bet for rest of the day

3) Cannot back a horse with saddle cloth number 13, or form figures are 1 / 3 or trainer / jockey lasts stats are 1 / 3 (if i notice of course)...the varian horse Cameron Highland jumps out as a lay..watch it bolt up now i am swerving it Laugh..although on that respect Michelango is a shoe in job at form figures 3 / 1 ...all aboard at 1.86..crap price..ho hum

hence the irony of my forum name

whats yours?

I always do the form with a certain pen,if it gets misplaced i have a habit of blaming someone else if it goes missing!SillyThere is also ''the jinx'' the person you tell that can stop everything,usually it's the case of them picking and choosing picks and notbetting everything,but they always come back with a moan about the loser.Cool

Won't use a betting slip that's got any kind of mark on it, even an indent.

Oh God, loads

Can't use a pen in a betting shop I've touched with my left hand
Can't use a slip I've touched with my left hand
Have to write time/meeting in top left corner of slip in block caps, and selection in middle of slip in caps again, any error and start again on blank slip (can't have crossings out either so any price change if I take a price means starting again Crazy

After receiving slip off cashier can't touch it with left hand

there are more but I can't remember

Working in a shop as well I know I'm not the worst by a long shot! There are people I know who won't watch races and just listen to commentary, turn their backs on the TVs, idiots who play roulette machines and cover the wheel with their hands and listen to the speaker to tell them what's rolled in Crazy

Just because your shoes touch a tableHappyHappyShocked or you touch a slip with your left hand does not make a quadraped in a distant field run any faster or slower now does itConfused

A geeza in our local bookies in the 90's told me " never rush for a bet" it was not meant to be if you have to rush.

He was an accountant and met a colleague of his a few years later and was told he got killed running across the road to get a bet on the Derby as he was late leaving the office Shocked

i hate having a losing betting slip on me.. when i go on a run of losers, i usually find an old beaten slip in my wallet.. hence i like to get rid of a beaten slip in the bin as soon as its beaten.

I never punt a horse,if he/she has fallen on his/her previous run in public.

obratzov,

Likewise, hate losing betting slips, a mate of mine puts a lucky15 on a Saturday and I go halfers. Despite being told every time, he insists on showing me the losing betting slip for all he knows I can't read it, I don't take my reading glasses out with me when I go for a drink. Angry
