Rabbit’s Foot
In many cultures, due to its fecundity, the rabbit is considered a “lucky” animal. If you’re not sure how lucky a rabbit’s foot can be, think of all the tight spots Bugs Bunny managed to escape, and he had all four of his! On the other hand, how lucky can an animal with a missing foot truly be?
Four Leaf Clover
A four-leaf clover is also considered a lucky charm, primarily due to its rarity. Only one in ten thousand clover plants grow four leaves in nature, which are still better odds than those of hitting a keno jackpot.
Horseshoe
Some players believe the horseshoe should always point up “so the luck won’t run out”, while others believe that it should point down “so the luck will pour onto you”. The only place where a loose horseshoe would be considered unlucky is, of course, the racetrack, especially if it came off the horse you bet on.
Acorn
In poker, the player with the best possible hand is said to have “the nuts”. The same can be said for a player carrying a handful of acorns. While some players believe that the seed of an oak tree brings good luck, others believe that such superstition is just plain “nuts”.
Coins
From a “lucky penny” to a new silver dollar, coins have always carried a reputation as a source of luck. Some players even flip their lucky coins when faced with a tough decision. If a player wants to keep his good luck charm, the best move he can make is to keep it in his pocket and not bet it at the tables. If he tries to bet with it, he may see how fast his luck will run out.
