Beware of black cats, even if they’re dressed like Gwen Stefani. (i-Pets.com Image)”

By nature, we gamblers are a superstitious lot. After all, if you’re relying on good fortune for fun and profit it can never hurt to have a lucky charm or two on your side. And don’t feel bad – it’s been proven that rabbits can live long and fulfilling lives with only three legs.

Some of the most famous gamblers in the world are also the most superstitious. Author and legendary poker player/cowboy hat wearer Doyle Brunson has stated that he thinks women are unlucky. Phil Hellmuth believes the color of the clothing he wears makes a difference to his luck. He refuses to wear white, and, according to some reports, isn’t a big fan of magenta either. And me? I always scratch off instant win lotto tickets with my teeth.

It’s up to you to decide what superstitions might work for you. Some other popular favourites are avoiding playing poker in a room with a mirror in it, only playing red in roulette when the sun is out and making sure to close your eyes and reciting the alphabet backwards before you hit “Spin” on an online slot machine. (Okay, maybe that last one is just me.)
