Fate Baiting

Confidently proclaiming something will not happen, in the hope that by declaring it won’t happen, you’ll coerce fate into actually making it happen.

“Listen man, I just know there’s no way I’ll score this weekend but just in case, I'm fate baiting”

or

“I know for sure I won’t pass that exam next week but just in case here's a fate bait”
