Good Luck Charms?

When I gamble I have this little fish that sits on my computer desk, or I will carry it in my pocket when I go to the land casino.  Seems to me, I usually do better when I have that little fish. Sound fishy? HA, I know but I was wondering if anyone else had a good luck charm to speak of and do you think you do better when you have it with you? Some people carry a token of some sort, some people repeat words, some people rub the machine, etc. What do YOU do to get your luck running?

hehe, i think we all have it more or less, even if we dont even think of it at the time. i dont have a charm, i played football (soccer for u yanks) for about 15-17 years, and my shirtnumber from my first team was 5. i keep number 5 with me still as MY number

I carry a picture of my grandfather, an old time card shark for good luck.  But thats only for the poker.  I have a small turtle for the slots or other things

I have two little glass Budhas and I just feel they bring me luck

Quoting myself here, as I plucked this from my blog:

"There is one habit I’ve developed—a superstition you might say—that I believe may ward off bad luck, though.  Many poker players have lucky charms they bring to the table:  a rabbit’s foot, pictures of family, etc.  I think that’s rather silly, thinking you can influence the so-called 'poker Gods' with your goofy trinkets.  What I always do is bring Lucky Charms, a whole bowl.  Anyone who dares knock me out of a poker game knows very well they’ll be receiving a bowlful of cereal and milk in the face shortly thereafter.  (This is the application of a theory that behavioral psychologists call 'deterrence.')  'Good game and good day,' I say, making my typically classy exit, a true testament to sportsmanship and integrity in the competitive realm of poker.  Why, yes, I do consider myself a great ambassador of the game."

sounds more like you should bring a bowl of valium  :-\

I have a black kitten who insists on parking herself on my laptop, to watch the reels go round, i get lots of free spins when shes parked on me lol

Well as far as good luck charms I have a lil green pair of dice i rub everytime i get a bonus round on a game hey its helped ,i think,lol .I also banish my kids for some reason the more I concentrate on a game the better I seem to do .Good vibes I guess.

I have this whole little ritual that I do I have to have everything that I need an my computer desk and everything has to be in it's place!! Coffee cigarettes my lighter and my candle burning!!  Iguess we all have our quirks!!!!

this thread is making me laugh so much...i would love to put something down here, but i keep sensoring my own thoughts...too funny!

Nalgenie? Thats what I try to do with alot of my posts, just make people laugh, and keeping it fun. I am so glad to know you are enjoying it.  PMM2008

Ya, I'm sure many people have their things, and superstitions..I guess my biggest one is when someone tells me to cash out...I FREAK.  I instantly feel jinked.    It's so stupid..yet so real. ::)

I don't think there is a gambler that does not have some kind of superstition or good luck charm. Sometimes when i go to the casino strangers can be a good luck charm for me. If a person sits next to me and i get a good hit on a poker hand im thinking......omg i hope this person does'nt leave soon!! When they get up i feel doomed.

It also works the opposite for me...sometimes i will see a person lurking around for a seat and i think oh no don't sit by me your a jinx!

My favorite good luck charm is a penny i find and of course i have to say the ole "find a penny pick it up...all day long have good luck". I will put that penny in my pocket and hold on to it when i need that fourth Ace..lol
