B'ne effect
The B'ne effect is when whatever he bets on dies a fiery death. It’s the universe giving him the finger.
He bets his pet goldfish will win the fish tank competition. It gets eaten by the cat. The universe is now his nemesis.
He bets his math test score will be perfect. He gets a 27. The teacher is now a personal enemy.
He bets his breakfast will be tasty. He gets cereal that tastes like old socks. The universe is mocking him.
