I never heard of this, so I digged around on wiki:

"In the past, gamblers considered two dollar bills to be unlucky. The idea comes from the "deuce" being the lowest value card in a card deck. Gamblers often tore or cut a two dollar bill's corners to counter the bad luck that might occur."

Looks like putting a little tear in the corner should work!!!

LMAOWTF, you americans are wierd.....

Now, if I saw a single magpie on the way to the casino, that would be reaaaaal bad and scary -- unless of course, I saluted it and said "Hello Mr Magpie, how is your wife?" or said "I defy thee" seven times. You see, there is allways an antidote/counter-spell to the bad luck!!!!!
