Your wierd game day superstitions?

Do you have any?


Ive had a few over the years.Currently, i refuse to watch the eels play live on tv. I just get internet updates. Every now and then i'll watch a minute and then quickly turn it off. Once the game is over, i watch the full replay on kayo. Its been working for me so i'll stick to this.

  • Wow. I couldn't bring myself not to watch it, then watch the replay. Why do you do that?

    I'm not sure I have superstitions but there are a couple of absolute constants:

    1. It doesn't matter where I am in the world, or what's going on in my life, I don't miss the game.

    2. I've never bet a single $$$ against Parramatta, even when it makes sense to. If I think we are going to get hammered, like we did for many years, I take Parra with a ridiculous 'pick your own line'  head start. 

    3. If I'm at home, I always make sure I've got red wine in the house and always end up watching the game standing up and yelling at the screen from about 3 feet away. The pace at which the red wine disappears is phenomenonal too. It's not because I'm trying to get rotten, I just get way too excited with adrenaline and can't help myself. 

    • I think ive still got trauma from 1998

      • Hahaha. Fair enough. 

      • Yer, that bulldogs game, i still have nightmares about it now!

      • I was at that game - still get nightmares......

  • This is one is a bit weird, whenever Moses or any Parra kicker takes a kick for conversion, I like to look away. I don't know, maybe it's just anxiety that kicks in, or I've seen Moses shank a few too many from a kickable range. Close games I'll refuse to watch the last few minutes, the only time I did this year, was against the Sharks early in the year.

    • If the overseas thing is true, just relocate and 1eyedeel will support you overseas 😂

  • If I think its going to be a very tight game, I wear the tightest underpants possible. It seems to have worked a bit lately but my bean bags are paying for ot now 

    • Bean bags? There should only be one bag, two beans and a snag. 

  • Not really a superstition, but I don't come on here until after full time (the next day if it was a bad loss).

     

    My mate doesn't clear PARRA notifications on game day, only trims his beard on home game days and full shaves on away game days, refuses to say the oppositions team name. We tell him he is crazy, but he swears we have won all games whenever he has done them 🤷‍♂️
