Hoping to avoid a certain race in the box is a surefire way to draw them. |

I used to have the following superstition: If the ball is due to land next to the side line from a kick off it usually bounces into the crowd even though it is only a 3/8 chance.
Then I realised that there were actual reasons for this:
1. The client shows the 'unlanded' ball on the nearest square on the pitch when the ball was actually due to land in the crowd.
2. The 'gust of wind' extra scatter bounce on a Perfect Weather roll. |

I see a lot of 'picking tails or the right hand coin' being luckier. I think I can clarify the reasoning behind this.
I too always pick tails, not because tails comes up anymore but because I've accidentally picked heads a dozen or so times and lost every time.....every time! New client, old client another client, it doesn't matter.
So I thought there must be a reason behind this. It occurred to me, that it's scientifically proven that a piece of toast with jam and butter on it, will almost always land jam side down.
(Getting back to the coin toss) So if you look closely at the coin, you'll notice the head side looks significantly more like a jam and buttered piece of toast than the tail's side.
Ergo there is scientific proof that 'accidentally' be that dropping toast or picking heads by mistake will result in the jam and butter side of the coin landing face down. |

I KNOW that if you pause for a long time thinking about a dice roll it will fail, especially if it is a 2+ with a reroll. However if you just go for it without thinking it nearly always works even if a 5+ no reroll.
Also if a game has been a total dicing if you go straight into another the dicing will be even worse |

I do this also. It feels disingenuous to wish an opponent luck if you don't actually hope they have it. If I do and they have good luck then that is my fault  |

I agree with this but I still say good luck. I don't want to say gratz when some one scores but everyone acts like your murdering babies if you don't. I mean you just scored, your winning. Why does the loser need to kiss the winners feet. |

If you use a reroll stupidly, it will fail. Every time. |

If you foul with the ballcarrier, you get an unofficial extra +1 to the armour roll (due to the weight of the ball). |

Pfft. Might as well go for the big one - "I hope the only 6s you roll are for your apothecary" |
