Have to disagree with Neil Hickman too. This was dishonesty: he manipulated the situation and covered up the reason by offering an innocent/false explanation which sought to deflect suspicion. Some may laud it as gamesmanship, but I think it is dishonesty. It was not skill that reversed the odds, it was dishonesty. He was not telling the truth when he said he was superstitious - that was a clear lie, and he accepted that.

Whether or not some regard it as skilful does not change the fact that it was dishonest.
