People still have 'lucky' rituals they perform before the game-- even people who aren't actually participating engage sometimes. This kind of nonrational performative behavior is common with all humans, even today. It's because we live in a hyper-rational age and we actively resist superstitions that some find it strange. It's just a human psychology thing, though, so everyone is subject to it. In 500 years they may look back and find some of the things you do are just ridiculous ignorant superstitions to them.
