This is just plainly silly. You could make the same argument for blindly believing in every superstition out there. If stepping on a crack might break my back should I go through life avoiding every crack in every single road I walk on?

im not really very superstitious at all, but when I'm faced with situations where I have an unknown edge sometimes I deliberately try to be superstitious in order to trick myself into extra confidence. I used to do this when I played sports, i think its at very wworst 0EV, and generally I think it kept me in a positive and focused mindframe pregame.
