left foot forward?

Spoken like a true right hander! I mount the bike from the right pretty often. Right foot planted is more natural for me. I end up mounting from the left as well, mostly because of the kickstand on one bike and the direction I am getting out of the garage and around the car in the driveway.

You might or might not find it interesting that I tilt the bike in the same direction to throw my leg over it no matter which side I'm mounting from: towards me if I'm on the right or away from me if I'm on the left.
BH, neat! I thought I’d hit on a universal truth! :D :D OK, I stand (well, mount) corrected!!!!
 
Had to ride a few neighborhood laps to verbalize what my feet actually do — largely without consulting me. L = left foot, R = right.

Mounting high-step: R over rear rack.
Mounting step-thru: R over bottom bracket.
Stopped: L on ground, R up and forward.
Pedaling: R generally pushes a little harder.
Coasting: L down.
Leaned hard right: R up and forward.
Leaned hard left: L up and forward.

That article gives a great historical lens, but in modern matches you have to balance multiple factors. A star player in good form does attract odds movement, but team composition, pitch conditions, and weather also matter. Then there’s the matter of game state—if the team is under pressure, even a top batter might not dominate. I sometimes sport https://crictv4u.com/world/cricketers-who-redefined-betting/ use Odds96 to monitor how odds shift in real time when a dangerous hitter comes in; if the market overreacts, there might be value in betting on undervalued outcomes like “next over runs” or “wickets”.

No real thought behind this. Pretty much happens on its own.
Well, it didn't work out for me right away; it took some effort.
