我们都听说过广为流传的“十三号星期五”迷信传言。没有运动员愿意穿13号球衣。据说从一开始迷信就已经与体育密不可分。运动员和体育迷都有自己一套躲避恶运的方法。
有一些迷信特别奇怪。例如，迈克尔·乔丹（毕业于北卡罗来纳大学）总在公牛队队服下穿着他的蓝色北卡罗来纳短裤，以求好运；棒球投手特克·温德尔在每局之间总要刷牙、嚼甘草；著名的三垒手韦德·博格斯在比赛当天只吃鸡肉，并且在每次轮到他击球的时候都会在泥地上画一个表示“生命”的符号。
以下是一些其它常见的体育迷信。
棒球
在拿起球棒之前对着手吐唾沫据说能带来好运。
球手帽子上粘上一块香口胶能带来好运。
把球棒借给队友，注定倒霉。
有些球员会和他们的球棒一起睡觉，以求摆脱低迷状态或维持最佳状态。
篮球
擦擦球鞋底能带来好运。
在罚球之前先拍一拍球能带来好运。
钓鱼
去码头的路上若有一名赤脚女人从你身旁经过，鱼可能就不会上钩了。
把第一杆上钩的猎物放回去能带来好运。
垂钓中途换钓杆不吉利。
在钓完之前不要告诉别人你钓了多少条鱼，不然你就再也钓不到了。
美式足球
双数号码球衣会带来好运。
职业球员效力新球队时用新号码会走霉运。
吉祥物是一个重要的吉利标志。
高尔夫球
只用单数编号的球杆开始比赛。
衣袋里装几枚硬币以求好运。
冰上曲棍球
球棍交叉平躺在地上很不吉利。
比赛前在衣帽间说“shutout（使对方无法得分）”会带来恶运。
球员相信比赛前轻击守门员的护胫能赢得比赛。
网球
发球时，一次手拿超过两个球会运气不佳。
避免穿黄色衣服。
换场时绕着球场外部走能带来好运。
