Tie the bow the opposite direction to the thumb knot. For some reason it holds better than tying both in the same direction.

    The reason is that by tying it the same direction, you have created a complicated granny knot. By tying it the opposite direction, you have created a complicated square knot, which holds better than a granny knot, complicated or not.
