I have my own superstition that seems to work for me at events. A guarantee for ■■■■■■ unwanted 5 stars. It gave me 2 x 5 stars in 4 pulls; I have posted!
EDIT: apparently synonyms for useless are censored.
EDIT 2 @Ultra, I just realised if I added Springvale, that would be 3 in 9. Master Lepus, Isarnia and Elena love me. The hero academy takes so long to level up.
There is no method … Best spending control is to remove your card’s info from the account.
Myself I’m always testing the streak with a couple of grey and troop tokens, then a couple of coin pulls. Doesn’t always work of course but i like my superstitious ways.
Here we can see a young Bart Simpson using the “8 ball method”. Just ask it if you’ll get a 5* in the next 10 pull. Answer follows and is always accurate.
My censure alternative has been to be happy with what I pull and to just make it work. Seems to be working nicely, for what it’s worth.

In my opinion, the Censure Method allegedly became less effective when it garnered more interest by the community and SG.
Where’s the post?
So a made up thing with no truth behind it was then suppressed by the evil empire who couldn’t care less about it.
If there was a glitch/bug they’d have stamped down hard on it. Look at the people getting free Royal Tabbards from Morlovia. It was a swift response when discovered.
They’ve not reacted to the Censure method in the slightest…ergo, it’s not a thing.
I use the Seagem method. It’s inspired by the Seafood diet. When I see I have enough gems I make a ten-pull.
Note I don’t buy gems.
How the hell did this get past legal? You aren’t supposed to tell. 
A good question? I don’t even know where to start looking for a specific post of mine (I post a lot).
The truth of it is, that there are two alternatives:
#1 I have mastered the art of pulling unwanted 5 stars OR
#2 I have discovered that SG is preferentially flooding people with useless 5 star heroes to stop complaints and to provide hero academy fodder.
Which of those two seems most probable?
Definitely.
Tons of superstitions.
I always use a different one.
I always get the same Bane.
I’ll give you mine. (@DocBrown deserves an answer). This has only worked for me at events, but pump in grey tokens up to ~10. Don’t look for any specific pattern.
If you pull a single 3* feeder and get a troop (or anything other than a 3*) next, give up.
If you get 2 x 3*'s in a row, go straight to the event summons portal and make sure you can do up to 5 pulls.
If you get an event, hero 3* & 4*, proceed, or a 4* & 5*, event, featured or vanilla hero, stop right there.
Pulling a pile of troops during the 10 grey token pulls ‘appears’ positive.
If I still feel unsure, I go outside and check out how limp the piece of seaweed, I have nailed to the wall, is.
Nothing going on that cannot be explained statistically. For some reason, E&P brings out the superstitious idiot in me. I confess!!

I tried my nose picking dance whilst scratching my derriere and look! It works!
I advice everyone to try this method as well!
I just might try it with results like that. But how the heck are we supposed to have access to your nose and derriere?
And again, pull 8, I confess but Alfrike!
Yeah, I’m pretty glad i didn’t give my tabards to Zulag or Mok-Arr.
PS. Att @DocBrown
Guys any ideas for a prayer players can do before summoning to appeal the gods for a bit of luck? XD
The Serenity Prayer comes to mind!
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Serenity NOW … thank you Seinfeld
