As superstitious brides and grooms inch closer to walking down the aisle tomorrow, the Olympic Games in Beijing prepare to kick off - both on the luckiest day of the year – 8-8-8.

The Chinese believe that 8 is a number that brings both wealth and good fortune, even the pronunciation of the number 8 in Cantonese and Mandarin is similar to that of the word prosperity. So get ready to unleash your inner hedonist, because tomorrow is your lucky pleasure-filled day.

To ensure your good fortune tomorrow and heighten your luck with money, the opposite sex and life in general, follow these Chinese traditions and superstitions that are sure to wok your world.

• Four-Score and Never Again - If you’re using this Chinese holiday as an excuse to slip off to the Trump Taj Majal to double your summer’s minimum wage salary and possibly get laid - avoid hotel rooms with the number 4. The Chinese relate the number 4 to death and unless you want to end up like Patches O'Houlihan in Dodgeball, avoid this number at all costs.

• Better Red than Dead – To some cultures, it’s a provocative color to wear but the Chinese believe that the color red brings happiness, wealth and good luck. If you combine both theories, you get sex! So wear extra red for some extra good luck.

• Do Not Disturb – Although many of you guys hope to be putting up this sign at your hotel room doors, wait until the gambling is over. The Chinese believe that females and sex do not mix very well with fortune and gambling.

• 1 is the Loneliest Number – Stay away #1’s as it means loneliness in Chinese so instead of trying to get lucky with Miss Hawaiian Tropic, opt for a runner-up. She’s probably a very agreeable alternative and a she certainly isn't #1.
