Pizzas, burgers and hot dogs have been voted as the top ‘good luck’ game day foods, while devilled eggs and garlic bread have been deemed bad omens.

A poll of 2,000 American sports fans found 44% have food-focused superstitions when it comes to a big game, with 85% of those only ever eating or serving certain dishes on game day.

When it comes to wider superstitions, 79% of people that completed the survey have said that they will carry out strict rituals ahead of a game to help improve the chances of a good result.

Of these, 34% must sit in the same part of the sofa for any game when watching at home, while 40% will wear a ‘lucky outfit’.

And to avoid cursing their favorite team, 32% will refuse to watch a game with specific people they deem ‘unlucky’.

44% of American sports fans have food-focused superstitions when it comes to a big game.

More than seven in 10 (71%) of those who are religious with their rituals have gone as far as refusing to watching a game until they have been performed.

Almost three quarters (74%) believe the outcome of a previous sporting event was determined by whether they took part in their pre-event ritual, or not.

Of the 58% who label themselves superstitious when watching their favorite team play, half are this way because of their parents, while 43% developed it themselves.

As 38% will eat a specific type of food as part of their own sporting ritual, 32% of those who have ever hosted a game day party say serving the correct food was their highest priority.

While 69% agree the snacks are almost as important as the event itself.

Making sure the game was displayed properly and having a good mix of friends round was also on the list of must-haves for a successful gathering.

It also emerged that almost half – 48% – admit they have attended a game day party for the food and drink only – while having no particular interest in the game itself.

A further 37% prefer to socialise rather than watch the teams play, and exactly three in 10 only take an interest in it because of the famed half time show.
