I have experienced some guys who are chronic gamblers making unimaginable predictions from football player's jersey numbers, basket ball, hockey, rugby etc jersey's numbers. I have experienced this and their prediction is only based on these numbers shown on TV sports analysis consistently and regularly.
These chronic gamblers feel that when these jersey numbers keep flashing on your TV stations maybe during the sports news, analysing the jersey numbers on different clubs and display of the jersey numbers may be a sign that such number will appear as draw for the week and they do their permutations on that.

My question is, have you experienced this kind of gambling with Jersey numbers ?
Note: The pictures are just to illustrate my point with the jersey not particular about who was wearing it and I didn't need to link any source because any jersey number will do or can be imagined, at most written with bare hands.
Well, I'm sure of one thing.... This is not strategy but superstition.
People invent "any reason" to have a justification of how to place their bets, if this "strategy" has worked, I believe it's purely luck.
I would tell you that it is much more reliable for you to bet using your knowledge and technique, but we are witnessing in the last world cup very "crazy" matches in which favorite teams are losing by others that we didn't even imagine were being classified for the elimination phase.
So I think we should give "some credit" to people who are using these "crazy" strategies to place their bets.
I think I'll keep track of the shirt numbers of players who are going to score goals in the next round of the world cup and then use that to place my lottery bet. If I win, I'll come back here to tell you.
