Trusting your luck on Friday the 13th?
Do you suffer from friggatriskaidekaphobia? It’s a fear of Friday the 13th and apparently 21 million Americans are affected by it.
According to many, and with not a little support from historical events, this is a very bad day.
Fridays on their own aren’t always thought of as overly auspicious…think crucifixions, momentous stock market crashes and more recently (and relevant to online gambling) DOJ/FBI indictments. The term ‘Black Friday‘ has definitely developed a certain ring to it.
As for 13; everyone knows this is a number to be avoided. Even the wise and learned pay it healthy respect (how many architects refuse to have a Thirteenth Floor on their modern buildings?).
Combine Friday and 13 and you’ve got a recipe for disaster – just ask the poor old Knights Templar.
So for the superstitious among you…is this a day you try your hand at a real money game of chance? I did with a very short game of blackjack that had me think maybe this whole Friday the 13th thing isn’t just a total bunch of malarkey. I’ll sit things out until Saturday I think.
Oh, and if you think trusting in a rabbits foot is going to help you…just consider that it didn’t exactly work for the rabbit!
Have a great weekend all!
