There's this scene I witnessed today at a local sport betting house  and I found it very funny and unbelievably true at same time. A certain young man after making his predictions placed his bet and his betting slip was printed to him then another gambler in the house approached him and asked to make a rebet of his games for himself but I was shocked when the young man refused with the excuse that he doesn't share his predictions that sharing it will make him lose his bet. More like having his luck to win reduce or changed maybe because the person he shared his games with could be someone with a bad luck on that day.

Although I have heard of behaviors like this with some gamblers  but I never believe it not until I witnessed it myself today and it was weird to me imagining how you will get to lose your bet by allowing someone else rebet it. In all my years of gambling I believe that a game prediction that will play as predicted will definitely play not regarding the number of people that bet on same prediction.

So why this belief or do you think it could be true? Or is it one of those superstitious belief among gamblers?
Do you feel cool sharing your predictions with other people and how has the outcome been looking at all the times you have shared your predictions with others?

The gambler has staked already, so there is nothing that can change that, it is just a superstition if true that is the reason.

But we can think another reasons too. If I am the person that someone asked to stake the bet that I have staked, I will not answer the person if the person is a stranger or we do no know each other very well like a friend. I can let a my brother, family or a friend stake what that I staked, but not just anybody.

^ Wow, that is quite a fascinating and humorous story you witnessed at the sports betting house!
It is not uncommon to encounter superstitious beliefs among gamblers, and this instance exemplifies one such belief. Some gamblers may feel that sharing their predictions could somehow alter their luck or reduce their chances of winning. However, in reality, the outcome of a bet should not be influenced by how many people share the same prediction. Gambling is based on probabilities, and each bet is independent of others, regardless of whether they share the same prediction. We know that gamblers do this but I can understand that some gamblers probably feel reluctant to share their predictions due to such superstitions. In the end, gambling is a game of chance, and sharing predictions with others should not affect the outcome.

Once upon a time, I would have considered this behavior very strange. But after all these years of trading, I perfectly understand the person who refused to share his forecast. Now I will explain why using the example of my trading forecasts for bitcoin. When I do a technical analysis of graffiti, then at these moments I am absolutely sure that everything is right and correct. But if I share this analysis with another trader, I will have a feeling that the illusion of my rightness and confidence will crumble. I don't know why this is so, but this phenomenon exists.

The belief that sharing game predictions with others could bring bad luck or reduce the chances of winning is indeed a superstitious belief among some gamblers. It's important to note that superstitions vary widely among individuals, and there's no logical reason to believe that sharing predictions would directly affect the outcome of the bet.

In reality, the outcome of a bet is determined by random chance and the factors affecting the game being bet on, not by whether the prediction was shared or kept private. Sharing predictions with others should not have any impact on the actual results.

Personally, I always exchange predictions with friends while placing sports bets at the local casino, and I don't find any problem at all. I don't feel that the people close to me are unlucky.

I have heard and seen some bettors refuse to give out predictions they think will win due to the fact that they don’t have money so they feel if they give it out the person who’s going to wager on it will be the one profiting instead let the game end without anyone winning.

But as for them being greedy after placing a bet I haven’t seen it before, it probably might be a superstition that they believe will happen if they give out their predictions to others and I call it a BS giving out your predictions has nothing to do with your winnings. People just do it to satisfy their greedy and selfish urges nothing else.

This is really just a belief on which there are really some gamblers who are really that sensitive when it comes on sharing up their bets and possible with those reasons that had mentioned above.
But in overall it is really just that a belief because there's no such thing about factors which could affect your luck because if you are lucky then you would win but if not then you would definitely lose.
It doesnt really matter nor mind on what you are dealing with.I dont really see any mistakes or anything about this kind of behavior since we do have our own approach when it comes to things
on which it would be normal that there might be some things that look odd or awkward but actually there's nothing we can do if they would really be having that kind of beliefs towards things.
We could really be able to see the weirdest of the weirdest around but there are actually people who had been having that kind of behavior or something that they do follow.

Don't blame that gambler for his action, for he might have his reasons aside from his belief and faith when it comes to someone's bad luck affecting them and reducing their winning chances.

If I can recall correctly, there was a year when a local betting platform called "Bet9ja" brought out an option. I can't tell if the option was added by mistake or not, but all I could remember was that some shared that option with others, and everyone predicted using that option, which could have been the downfall of that betting platform if they allowed everyone to cash out their winnings, as they recorded the highest number of winnings in that particular period, and they came up the next day and declared that option as an error and decided to refund everyone who played using that option.

If the person who noticed that decided to hide it from others and played the game alone, and the number of wins was not that massive, would it have been possible for the betting site to detect that and cancel the whole game? This could also be the reason why the person refuses to share his game; maybe there is a special code in it that he doesn't want anyone to know about.

I don't know why you feel this kind of behavior is strange well in my place it's pretty normal among gamblers to be kind of secretive with their bets and I know a particular friend who is found of this of act and the worst part is that even with all the secretive things he is doing he doesn't even actually win although he won't announce if he is actually winning but I know that most gamblers just do this since they don't want to blame anyone for their losses.

I'm shocked to hear this because I always see on many websites and on youtube videos and articles where the guys who do analysis talk about the teams that they believe will win the game and that they bet on that team, I've always seen this for years, so hearing that it could be bad luck is a big absurdity that honestly I didn't expect to hear, everyone or at least most people should know that sports betting doesn't depend on luck so there's no reason for a person not to talk about who bet but it is true that in the case of the lottery for example

I have heard people in my country say that they cannot say they bought a lottery ticket because it could be bad luck and for that reason people in my country hardly say they are playing the lottery, I confess that I laugh a lot about it because people in my country my parents take this belief very seriously that when someone buys a lottery ticket they cannot tell other people because it will be bad luck, they reached the level of when they go to buy the tickets they hide their faces or they arrange for the worker to go buy them but they lie to the worker telling him that the note is for a very distant relative

I won't blame the gambler too much because some negative energy can also affect his emotions towards whatever the outcome of the bet may be, when I was far away from gambling and hard not to try out my luck towards sports bets, I use to chase my friends who use to stake sport bet away from me because I believe that I was giving them bad luck since at that time I hate sports bets even though I haven't tried it before.
Watching football for the fun of it is what has motivated me into active gambling mostly in sports bets, so as far as I know, some gamblers have their personal beliefs or privacy protection and we must respect that right.

This shows your personal belief on certain occasions, but luck will play a great role on this.
You may have had such belief because you may have had experience it and hence, forming in your mind that there's some factor in play.
However, it may very well be a coincidence why such luck in that route of betting. But who knows? So you try to follow such route every time you bet.
Whatever belief you may come up with, it is better to share it with your family or close friends rather than strangers, which may not know what they are thinking after you share it with them.
And it all comes down to respect of each other's beliefs. It may not be true, but let them believe what they want. If you are not up to it, just politely decline whatever he wants you to do.

When we are in the gambling house affiliation or relativeness ought not to matter with sharing your already staked game with a fellow gambler. At that moment we are gambling we are with same interest and that interest sought of bind us together against the gambling house for that moment alone a brother-like bond is in place. If you win, I win we  exchange handshake go home smiling

As far as I know, many professional athletes are very superstitious and have whole rituals before a match. Maybe that sentiment carries over to sports gamblers as well. I mean, we've all heard about players wearing lucky socks, following specific routines, or even eating the same meal before every game. It's like they believe these rituals bring them luck or help them perform better.

What do you mean if it could be true? Why would it be true? I mean it could be true that he believed what he said, but other than that, it has no basis on reality.
And i am not sure what's the issue here. Guy was most likely superstitious. Everyone of us sort of have magical thinking as we are playing against better odds to win more.

Or it could be that he didn't want to be the cause of someone else losing, this is the reason i am not giving any advices for my friends about what they should invest in cryptos. Because i don't want to be the cause and have that awkward conversation when they lose everything.
And there's always a change for that he was so sure about his winning but he didn't want to anyone else to win.

This is one of the gamblers' fallacies that sharing his prediction will nullify his luck.  We all know that this kind of thing is not true since prediction results can go either way depending on whose team is performing better and sharing information about the bet does not affect that result.

I am not comfortable sharing(talking about) my prediction with unknown people or strangers but I gladly talk about it with my friends.  But if I am asked politely I would probably tell the person my bet without explaining why.

There are some precautions we should always take care of whenever we are gambling because many can affect us and can be trickish on us especially when we are not used to the way some gamblers relate, there's no edge in sharing thesame game with someone, you can make suggestions or get them other alternative to gamble aside the exact link and game you've played, anyone interested so much in gambling should learn instead of relying on others, don't also make the mistake of misplacing your slip of allowing them have access to it.

It is weird but it's not the weirdest, one of the reasons he doesn't want to share his bet is he doesn't want to share the pool money in case his bet wins, there are a lot of superstitions when it comes to horse racing some of the superstitions are looking on the horse for a sign or looking for the weather because there are horses that are good on a type of weather and some looking on the jockeys, they don't only bet on the record and the combination of the horses and jockey they also look for outward signs like betting on particular hours before the race started.
Every horse racing bettor has a sign that they follow and the other bettors respect this belief, it's to each its own when it comes to belief and bettors' tradition.

That is nonsense, mate. Some people are just so deliberately wicked and greedy that they don't want you to have their luck. I mean, they would not want a situation where if they win the game, you will also win it because of their help. Sometimes, too, some people are just so uneducated (like illiterates) that they end up living with some kind of superstitious belief. So, in either case, the man is probably affected by one thing, either illiteracy or greed. I have not heard of anything close to this; even in my area, you will see gamblers share gambling codes among themselves that another gambler has already predicted and staked.

No one knows whether it's true. The truth of the matter is that everyone has their beliefs which often solidifies if it works for them. But IMO? It's not true (my belief differs from the gambler in question). In my experience, I get the same luck whether or not I share my predictions with people. There are macro factors that determines the outcome of these events that might not necessarily be linked to or tied to our beliefs.

But if it works for him, he should keep it that way.

People tend to believe that they are at the center of the world and they can change everything around just by hoping or praying, and attaching everything that happens to them as either luck or unluckiness. Luck is only a term used to describe a combination of favorable outcomes while unluckiness is the opposite. For instanc having string of negative events may lead one to feel unlucky while positive experiences can make you believe and feel lucky.
In the other hand betting on a football games or sport in general won't inflect its result in any way, and those who think otherwise they are so wrong and are just influenced by their obsession to gambling and believing everything they hear. Logically if that man in your experience have shared his choices it’s very obvious the results will stay the same.

If it does work for him then he would really be sticking into that idea and belief and would really be just like that and there's nothing we can do if they wont really be sharing it up well its their beliefs and choice on which there's nothing we can do if they do believe  on such stuff.It might be weird but this is where they would really be believing and would be following with their gambling methods and ways and behaviors.
Lots of things on which gamblers do really believe on some things which arent really supposed to be that realistic but since each person does have their own perceptions on things then just let them be and
they would really be sticking and believing into that. Weird belief we would say? As long they arent affecting other people or really that stomping someone then it would really be just fine.
Cant really blame out someone though when it comes to this situation because people get used to make out their feedbacks on everytime that they do saw something unusual.

Superstitious beliefs were all around the world. The same being followed by the gamblers isn't a big surprise. Earlier he might've experienced win following this. If not someone who is already superstitious believer might've given the suggestion to practice and experience the difference. Some day these people will understand there is nothing to do, everything is happening out of the information we've got related to the sports as well as the luck we've got.

How could he reason that way, did he knows how many people that bets on that same or has predicted same games as well, I think the bettor is too naive to have reason that way or possibly do I say he doesn't want to share same slip with anyone probably if his game all played and wouldn't want to go into argument with anyone to go withdraw first or what?

Then what about those that sells game so, is simply means that those people who bought the games may not win because they had tens of people who bet on that game? Does it mean he is the only person who knows how to predicts matches correctly or is he by any chances in the fellows mind to determine the kind of game they wanna gamble if not the same with his own, let me not waste my previous time as I know such person is a greedy gambler and such people often lose matches because they refused to be that open and free for being stingy about games.

In the casino roulette players who only play roulette can write down the numbers that have been drawn. People are sometimes very self-confident that they and only they know how to beat a casino or a bookmaker. But everyone who knows how to calculate the RTP or the logic of a particular gambling establishment understands that any bets according to the rules of the casino at a distance lead to a loss in 100% of cases. Even if you win the jackpot millions of dollars and continue to play, your bets will progress and you will lose 100% sooner or later. If only everything was that simple. To beat a bookmaker or a casino, you have to play by your own rules.

Well, everyone has its own belief either its superstitious or something like called principle of his own, in gambling its always the good and bad luck. Well, even me have this kind of something to follow when i bet lmao. It might be weird to some, but lets just respect this decisions and actions, people should think about that.

You can't take that away from gamblers this is gambling its a game of chance even if it is a horse racing where the factors can be analyzed like handicapping, the horse and the jockey's track records the condition of the race track their belief will still have a factor, it's just so weird to know how they first established it.
I have a friend who believes in the powers of the colors he's wearing because he first won his first winner-take-all bet wearing a particular color, and it established that after he won again wearing that particular color.
Some gamblers are particular about things that contribute to their winning that it became their belief.

No, I don't really like sharing my prediction to other people with no exception my friend. I don't know what the purpose is. It's not good in my opinion, because when I win, my friend will know I won then he will ask me to invite him to eat or go clubbing or he will beg for money from me. Even if I lose, no one is laughs, and no one laughs at me when I am stupid as a predictor. So, I am good when everything is secret. predicting a match will be my privacy. but if it's a match outside of my bet, I will give a hint.

That is their belief and that is something I wouldn't take from them. They can be weird as hell or sometimes feel creepy for their rituals but if it works for them then good on them. After all we're meant to enjoy gambling as it provides us entertainment and not solely a means to just make money as it's a game of chance.

Everyone has things they think make them lose. It could be a person they think is a black cat, sharing their bets, or the sun was red that day. Gamblers aren't rationale basically. If they lose there must be a reason besides they played bad or made a bad bet.

All of those both sharing your bet slip with someone else or having your trading analysis shared and it turns to bad luck are all superstition. People tend to believe that way because they are unfortunate that during the time they shared the bet, that they lose the bet and probably it occurs for sometime. These are all superstition, it has not been scientifically proven. Gambling majorly luck based so you don't expect to keep winning. I have heard some gamblers believing so many things but I don't subscribe to much of them.

Just another supertitious belief of gamblers. It's not new actually because I bet many gamblers have their own belief that can bring luck when they gamble. It's not proven to be true but there's nothing wrong if you try.

Well, I have not tried it yet but if ever, I will not share it regardless of the reason of the person on why he/she wants to rebet my predictions. It's just that, i'm not comfortable doing it and besides it's not hard to predict your own.

Could be superstition, and could be true, it is commonly said that the spiritual controls the physical, and for most of us that believe this, we can not just throw away such believe by calling it a superstition, you could be doing yourself a lot of harm by doing that, i have seen a situation where a gambler copied the same game from another gambler, and later, one gambler won and the other gambler lost, and the both played the same game, how was that even possible in the first place? ask me and i will tell you what happened..

There are evil spirits every where out there to steal good luck from men, so to be on the safer side, never share your bet slip with strangers, people you don't know from Adam, or have never seen before, only share your bet slip to family and friends only, people you trust will not share the bet with people they don't know as well.

It's not weird for me, as I've heard this all the time, but it is double meaning: the person who is lucky will not want you to win or others because he just wants only one to win. Ive also heard from multiple people when sharing his prediction, as he is really lucky, but it turns out both of them lose. Well, that is his belief, and there are tons of other beliefs that are weird, like that a person will not take a bath because it could wash away his luck. Most of these beliefs are heard in the crowd of people in the rooster fight (I know this is a confidential topic).

Many people just state so many theory about how they feel about betting and what way it favours them by doing some of kind of thing. I have even seen someone say that after he has done betting his game, he will start having negative thoughts towards the game so that his expectations won't be much so if he actually losses the bet then no hard feelings. You can imagine that, and he always emphasize that thinking negative keeps you on the upper hand so the games would know you expecting much and eventually turn out to favour you.

You said so yourself. They are superstitions, nothing more. Superstitions have no rational basis, let alone anything to do with reality. The outcome of his bet has nothing to do with whether he shares the paper or not. I would bet that person loses a lot of money betting.

Superstition ofc. It can make sense, and at the same time, it can't. Simple as that, that's just how superstitions always are. I don't have any superstitions with sharing my predictions, but I don't particularly favor sharing them as well. It's data after all, who knows, the man may be collating and trying to come up with numbers and figures to do some math sht that I would for the love of my life never understand, but maybe he can, and maybe he can do something with it.

And in the end, most gamblers when trying to bet aren't really rational. I mean, it's about luck, I hardly doubt being rationale would help so might as well try to go to something you can work with.

Yes, many gamblers are superstitious. And yes, believing that someone making the same bet as you will make you lose is just dumb. ;D
Sharing your bets has no impact over the outcomes of the sports game. Unfortunately, some people are mentally challenged.
I have read some study showing that most gamblers have medium or low IQ. Maybe having low IQ has something to do with believing in superstitions.
I have always thought that sports bettors are less superstitious than the traditional casino gamblers and the lottery players.
So far I have never seen a legit research or survey/poll about this topic(gambling superstitions). Most gamblers would try to hide their superstitions anyway.

This is done because there is a suggestion that is actually owned by a gambler himself, some gamblers don't even hesitate to get angry or say harsh words when someone else forces them to see and wants to bet the same as he is betting.
I myself don't really believe in that sort of thing because victory is based on luck and luck never knows whether he shares predictions or not.

If someone really believes and wants to imitate the prediction that I made, I will welcome it, but whatever the result of the prediction, I will not be responsible because the name of the prediction is just an attempt to guess the result that is at stake, so there is no guarantee that you will win.
Sometimes that makes us a little angry when someone joins our bet but in the end loses and blames us.

The point is that other gamblers may not undermine the beliefs of other gamblers, because in this modern era of technology, not everyone forgets superstitions, so just respect their decision not to change their bets, because there is nothing wrong with respecting their beliefs, local gambling like this is common in villages. which has not been touched by modern technology like in a city, so it's only natural.

We have to understand things like that because as long as it's a belief that has been adhered to for a long time it doesn't matter, after all there are many who believe in superstition, for example in my village the government still believes in the superstition that someone can move the rain so they have to hire someone to chase away the rain so that sporting events took place without rain, all countries in the village must still have something like that, so it's only natural that after all, the bet that has been made cannot be changed.  ;)

We are not all the same, some like to share some don't... and there's probably some superstition involved, but that is inserted in most of us from an early age, do you remember "make a wish but don't tell anyone, it will not come true". :) Parents and even more come from grandparents.

I know people who don't like to share their betting picks... I don't find it strange, it's a bit funny and I like to poke them about that, but in the end, it's their choice for whatever reason, and I respect that.

It's very common that when you tell someone that you are good at predictions and tell the exact prediction, it usually goes in the other way around. I know being superstitious is wrong but sometimes the outcomes are such that people tend to believe in superstitious. For example, if he tells his predictions and his predictions really went wrong, this belief in superstition will be even more.

There is no cure for superstitious unless the gambler keeps on checking if his superstitious belief is true or not, for example, what if his bet prediction is still wrong even if he does not tell anyone? In that case, he should analyze that there is no truth in gambling superstitious.

Superstitious habits are quite common among gamblers, I think that everybody is influenced at least partially by believing in good or bad luck that can come from our bets. In my country they made an experiement where they would wait outside the tipping booth and ask lottery players if they would sell their tickets for double the amount. It was an easy profit of 100% and they could just go back and get another ticket with the same numbers. Surprisingly the majority of gamblers didn't take the offer, they were not willing to give away their numbers as they felt lucky about them. The most common reply was that they didn't want others to have the same numbers,because they would have to share their million jackpot with them. This is of course very unrealistic and not a rational behaviour, but in gambling rationality is not always the main decision making. Personally I would only share my predicitions with good friends and not with strangers. When it comes to lottery I don't really have fixed numbers and pick them randomly, so if somebody would offer me money to copy my numbers I would do it.

We can't blame people who don't want to share their predictions with others because they believe they shouldn't share their predictions with others or won't be able to win. Yes, it's more of a superstitious belief among gamblers and I think it's normal if you have or often see it around you.

I once met a person who bought a lottery ticket and hid the ticket from other people so that other people would not know how many numbers he had. He even told me that he kept the lottery ticket in the cupboard so no one could see how many lottery tickets or the number on the lottery ticket.

So I don't think we need to think about other people because they believe in that and we can't change it or even force them to show us the results of their predictions. I'm not sharing my predictions because I'm worried that they might be disappointed with me if the results don't go the way they want. I better keep it with me and tell them to make their own predictions.

This is about not having much expectation towards the outcome of the bet and if the outcome is wrong then you won't feel much pain in your heart since you already taken it out from your mind. I think it is another superstitious believe working for different people. I understand it and sometimes we apply this philosophy in our dealings with humans by not expecting much from them so that when they disappoint you, then you won't feel much shocked. This is a lesson carried on to gambling that whatever way our bet turns to, we don't feel the grieve but if eventually it turns to our favour then we take it to be one of the favours that has been done to us. Betting with this kind of psychology will help us not to bother on outcomes but just to move on to the next, like betting and believing it to be game of chance.

That is just plain superstition and not something that is widely spread among gamblers.Any time I have placed bets in the local lotto club many people around asked me what bets did you make and I showed them my ticket without caring much if it will be a lost ticket or winning one.In fact at the lotto club most of us were the same people going there almost daily many years ago when online gambling was still in its infancy and as such we used to share idea and information together with each other and sometimes we even win it big so there is nothing wrong with sharing information,that guy in the story here is just one superstitious guy.

That is purely superstition, and one thing in nature is that what you believe always come to pass, when you believe that sharing bet prediction with someone will bring good luck and you hope that it will come to pass and if you think of the opposite it will still manifest. But from the op story, I also say that the guy was afraid to share his game probably because of the way the person approached him if not it is not bad to share prediction though luck differ from one another. And another thing we should also put in place or mind is that we have to respect personal decision, we should not go against another person thought. Because according to the saying "Prevention is better than cure". So he was also preventing his prediction by thinking that the person would bring bad luck to his prediction. So don't blame him.

If you think about it, it's the person asking to see the betting slip to place the same bets that is being weird here. The person wants to place wagers on matches they haven't researched themselves. That's a sign of gambling addiction, where you have to bet on anything just for the thrill, even if you don't know what you are betting on.

Superstitions are common among gamblers. Lucky numbers, lucky odds, lucky teams and players. It's all in their heads and has no basis in reality.

Well, as a bettor, you'll have to respect the bet of others and if they're fine sharing it when you ask then you should be happy but if not and they don't want to share it. Just leave them alone.

Maybe a superstitious belief on the side of the bettor but it's like sharing your own thing and if you don't like to share it, you better keep it to yourself. That's what the other bettor needs to understand that he can make his own bet and it's up to him whether he'll share it if someone asks him.

Like what everyone is sharing, to each their own.

This belief/superstition regarding gambling isn't true, of that I am sure. I do believe that the reason for that are that of copium and sense of escapism. What I mean by these two is that gamblers are gambling to be entertained most of the time and so these jinxes or superstitions are a way of coping with the losses that they will experience, with that in place, they can detach themselves from the responsibility of losing from that gamble, they can just put the blame that the moon isn't shining as bright as it should. Sense of escapism, as I've said earlier, gambling is a form of entertainment and if they can associate gambling with something of supernatural nature, they escape the realities of life and that of the consequences of gambling.

I don't know much about this but predictions aren't the real thing until it's proven so I don't see the point of not sharing your prediction to other people, let them rebet on your prediction and you never know that this is how you will meet your next friend. And if there's no rebet, what's the point of hiding your prediction? I would probably understand someone doing that if the money on the line for prediction is crossing the millions of USD kind of prediction.

I understand the feelings when it comes to trading but I do not think that the same is applied to Sports Betting prediction and in the other hand, during the trading analysis, it is very fine to understand that when too many people are using the same analysis the market could change because there is an impact. But this does not happen in Sports Betting. If the whole world happens to say that Real Madrid will have to win Manchester City, it doesn't change the outcome of the match in anyway.

I think such belief is a superstitious belief of some gamblers who think that if they share their bets with others than they will lose the bets because of the luck of those others, however those gamblers are immature because they don't really know that there are 100's of thousands of other players often betting on the same sports games. Those people should understand that they are not only ones to place those bets and without understanding that thing they won't be able to change their mindset.

Yes, I do feel good to share my predictions with people because I believe that if my luck is good and things are working according to my strategy then there won't be a problem to share my predictions with others, and if predictions go well then we all will win rather than losing the bets. I have never thought of hiding my predictions from others because I don't trust those superstitious beliefs that make us cruel and selfish as humans.

Imagine someone walking up to you and ask to rebet on your game, wouldn't you walk away from him? Before you talk or judge always imagine yourself in the shoe of the person you are talking about, you will understand things better.

Either the man believe in some superstition or spirits of gambling the answer is still no, This request is enough to get me mad at someone, I am even surprised the man kept his cool and gave him a good answer, mine will be worse.

This is one reason why I can never to go any local casino or gambling house offline, you will probably meet some bad people that will ruin your luck for you that day.

This is absolutely a weird behavior from the gambler this is most common among illiterate gamblers because as a learned person sharing one betting slip or code wouldn't have any effect on the outcome of the bet, however if that is gambler personal belief of course we have to respite his belief probably he had experienced bad luck whenever he is opportuned to share his betting slip.
Personally I believe it's a superstition, though I have never witnessed such since I started my gambling journey, I was very well conversant with sharing of betting slip if betting with the same site or bookies, infact one of the ways of having edge in gambling is sharing of predictions with other gamblers this had help me alot because I my pick I do compare my bets with the shared ones,

Yes, it's a superstitious belief that still thrives among gamblers. They keep their bets secret from each other. But some like to share their predictions with others so that others can follow their predictions. And if they won, other people would flatter them saying their predictions were accurate. This is more to praise so that the community recognizes it and can be one of the people who share their predictions with others. But for me, because I gamble from home and no one else knows, I don't share it with others. After all, that's my secret about playing gambling; no one needs to know about it.

People should do whatever they works for them. You shouldn’t lose your bets just because somebody else placed the same bets with you but there is a catch here… If sharing your bets affects you emotionally in a bad way, then it will make you place shitty bets and you will lose money because of it. Let’s just say maybe this player doesn’t want other people to be freeloaders. He spent time to do his research, why would he let anybody copy his bets? And maybe, when he shares his bets, this thoughts affect his betting process. So maybe he is actually doing the other guy a favor by not sharing his bets.

Well, that's the truth, but the question is, if a bet was supposed to burst and the gambler in question never shared the bet with their counterpart, does that mean the bet will never burst again? People can believe that someone is a black cat, like you said, but does that mean that one can transfer their bad luck to you in a game that you have already predicted and staked? I don't think it works that way, unless maybe you are still at the point of predicting the game and the person comes close to you and discourages you not to include some odds or to make some amendment, so perhaps if that game goes bust, you can blame them and accuse them of giving you bad luck, but in a situation where someone has taken their cool time to predict their desired game and staked it, nothing like the luck of the other person will work on your bet. what must be, must be.

In my case, I wouldn't care about sharing my predictions with others, as long as the jackpot is not shared among all winners, of course. For example, if there is a 1M jackpot and you are the only winner, it is a very different story if there are two winners and you have to share the price.

On the contrary, for sports bets where there are some odds that don't vary, I wouldn't care (in fact, I would be happy if I helped someone win his bet), but in the case of multi bets where the prize would be shared, then again, it is a no.

In the case the OP has reported it seems that the reasons are less reasonable (forgive the redundancy) but I'm not surprised because superstition is specially common between gamblers. Typical case of correct answer for wrong reasons :D

Now, sharing a belief based on the experience that we have gone through has nothing to lose, too. I often share it, especially with my close friends who are also gamblers. As a result, I have never given a high percentage to my friends if they are very interested in trying it. but at least if they try maybe they will meet the same fate as me by getting the win. In gambling, all prizes or wins are general in nature, not intended for just one person, but for those who are really lucky.


In simple terms, every gambler will have their own luck, how much they win and how much they lose will return to everyone's luck, although sometimes many of them blame the way they play that causes them to lose, but that's just speculation from them. own assumptions. Sharing experiences, or ways or strategies to win bets I think will come back to everyone, if indeed they believe that gambling is luck then they will not hesitate to share the methods they know with other people. I say this for general betting which is actually based on luck and I don't say this for sports betting because we know that we will be able to increase the chances of winning the bet if we do an analysis of several clubs that will compete, for example one of the two teams that will compete has carry out massive maneuvers for his squad so that they have the opportunity to dominate the victory and this is enough to convince a bettor in making decisions.

Superstition is real, if this man believe that sharing is game with someone else to bet the opposite can ruin his luck it's possible it will happen, it will only make sense to me if the stranger promises to share half of the money with me if things go his own way  ;D ;D. I mean what do you guys think? Isn't this a wonderful way to gamble too?

I read some posts about people saying they will walk away from him, I won't, I will give him my own rules and he needs to abide by it, if he doesn't like it he will leave, try making money out of every opportunity ;D.

A madman gives someone a lottery number and that same number open door for the gambler.

A gambler dreamt about a lottery number and it become a reality..

If supernatural isn't real why did all these came true?

I dunno, I'll just assume it was all pure luck. however, it is a gamble. if you are given a number from a madman or from your dreams it all depends on your beliefs. maybe you will bet but there must be doubts that make you also bet a small amount.
everyone has their own beliefs and thoughts. superstitious or not, in gambling we always have the principle of luck.

Maybe a one in a billion chance happening and the bettor happened to just get it due to sheer luck? I don't believe in premonitions, clairvoyance, or anything superstitious, so my mind will always elect to say that it's out of luck that's why it hit and nothing more. If that's out of one's dream, then why would other dreamers win the lottery all the same?

The human mind will always believe what it wants to believe. It can and will fabricate stories of superstitious nature to give explanation on things that doesn't need any explanation at all.

Who’s in the right mind that will think this is true. Copying someone’s bet doesn’t affect the result of the game. The only cons of doing this is you might split the profit to other gambler that copy it which you will not like. I think not sharing betting slip on lottery is really the best thing to do since you are all competing on a single prize pool while sharing it doesn’t give you any advantage.

But believing that you will lose if someone copy your bet pick is absolutely absurd no matter what belief you are holding.


No.

That sounds like pure Superstition to me. From the perspective of a rational and logical thinker, it is just a weird, personal ritual that people do in order to make themselves feel better about losing the bet completely later on. They basically need to fabricate an excuse why "it did not work".

Superstition is rampant among gamblers. Especially in many Asia countries. But every country has its own tradition on luck and how to summon it. Obviously none of them work and its all just ridiculous. Just like star signs or special rocks.

But there is a huge industry which can be taken advantage of, if you know the country's culture and know the superstition rituals. For example, the number 4 is considered bad luck in Asian countries while red can be considered a lucky color. 

You can easily use that information for marketing purposes.

This is a typical superstition of gamblers who believe in all sorts of prejudices and signs, but do not want to believe in the theory of probability, which, by the way, is not on their side, and also that any casino or bookmaker is a business in which everything is already mathematically calculated and it is almost impossible for players (most) to win. It's funny when they don't believe in common sense and reason, but believe in superstitions and omens. Such is the typical gambler who dreams of hitting the big jackpot. It is this dream that casinos use for their own selfish purposes and earn quietly.

This is another superstition among gamblers, because it is not possible that your single action will affect the outcome of a game and the bets of other thousands of gamblers. The man must have gambled at times when he showed people his game and the games went bad, and then some other time when he kept his game to himself and he won. This is why he has the false belief. There are many superstitions and you do not have to blame these people for it, they are just doing what they think works for them.

Lol. This is one heck of a hilarious story. The gambler that you are talking about probably comes from a superstitious family who think way too much about certain things making life difficult for themselves.

Also, I have no idea why the other guy wanted to copy his bets since that is really weird if you ask me.

I personally don't believe such superstition especially on gambling. There's no way that a bad luck can be passed to you by letting someone copy your bet. Allowing others to copy you can affect the profit that you can take on rare cases like your bet being copied by a high roller that can adjust the odds by the amount of his bet. These supersition is common on physical casino. One example is coming to a casino with a girl, I believe that this is common even on movies, we can see this as they treat the girl to be their lucky charm. Though I still don't believe such superstition.

It can be right or wrong depending on each person who believes in that superstition. If they don't believe it, they will share their predictions with others and still wait for the results together. I once shared my prediction with my friend, but the result was lost, so we just accepted it. And sometimes, my friends also share their predictions with me, and sometimes the results are winning, but sometimes the results are also losing. But that doesn't matter to me because gambling is entertainment, so whatever the outcome, I will accept it.

I'm not sure that's the reason why the young gambler refused to make a rebet of his bet. If he explicitly said that then cool, but I think I know the reason why he refused the old man's requests.

For one, there must be a fixed prize pot at stake for gamblers to claim after they win, having more than one winning bet will divvy the pot's prize amongst these people, he may want the pot for himself only should he win the game. Another reason would be to avoid troubles with other gamblers. I would assume he never knew this guy his whole life and would rather decline an old man's request and steer away from potential trouble if things go awry, than grant him what he wants and face discrepancies in the future. I'd say it's wise both ways and if I were in his position I might do the same lol.

I have seen this kind of belief among many people in different places and not only gambling. Now can't blame this person for his belief, since he doesn't want to show his prediction to anyone else it's not bad. He is only a gambler, there are many players who believe in good luck bad luck, before entering the game they do all the things that proved to be lucky for them in the last few matches. I have also heard that many players sometimes start believing their particular shoes and bats to be lucky. So there is nothing surprising here, because I have seen this kind of behavior before.

Nothing is impossible, it might be true that some luck changer or destiny changer can use your own bet against you. I believe that it is also another way that bettor is using to tell the other guy a big NO. So that he doesn't see him like a bad person that don't want to share his game with him. I don't also like that idea too because it isn't good to rely on people's prediction before you stake your bet. What assuming that first bettor wasn't there wouldn't him predict his own results. Gambling is fun when you meet with some strange gamblers with their strange behaviors.

because you already have the right understanding regarding gambling it won't be a problem. because betting will definitely have the possibility of winning and the possibility of losing.
maybe there are some gamblers who are still superstitious, it doesn't matter because they are actually also betting for a chance. it is not certain that these superstitions will actually give them victory. a fortune maybe while trusting something that was accidentally given to him for a bet and then wins.
I personally don't believe in superstitions.

It is a superstition, crystal clear. What you've experienced is just a coincidence. You'll have a different perspective if you won that bet. Try it again, place bets, and let other people be aware of it. Let's see if you still lose the bet. If you still do, do it once again until you win.

The thing is, the outcome of your bet won't be affected by whether people knew it or not. It is solely dependent on the game and the players.

i don't believe in superstition when we give gambling advice or predictions to other people, our chances of winning will decrease, but i won't share gambling predictions with other people because it's not useful at all, if that person wins then I will be hurt, but if they lose then i will be blamed on him. 

sharing predictions with other people is actually not kindness, that person may have already made another bet but he is curious about what predictions you have.  so instead of hurting you, don't mind people who ask you for gambling predictions, especially the lottery.

Obviously it doesn't work that way, that's why I say some gamblers aren't really trying to think rationally. They want to believe there is a reason they lost a bet and they should never lose if it weren't for bad luck.

Sharing the bet information will lead to a discussion as to why he chose which team. Maybe he just doesn't want to get to that point. But I wouldn't mind if I share my picks. I don't think there will be bad luck in sharing it. There is always going to be a winner and a loser, If I happen to lose then my pick is just not good enough.

These bad luck superstitions are common beliefs in mysterious Asia. If it's true I would be calling the Indian gods all the time to bless my stake with luck.

Hahaha, now that's a tale that would go down in betting folklore! I've seen a lot of superstition in my time, but this takes the cake. As if good fortune were a scarce commodity that needed to be guarded at all costs!

The young man you speak of appears to be immersed in a world of fantasy populated by irrational ideas and worries. Similar superstitions are held by those who wear lucky socks to interviews or who try to avoid passing beneath ladders.

I have made several forecasts and shared them with others. The kicker is that... I woke up to a new day with nothing out of the ordinary having happened. The outcome of a wager is entirely contingent on the accuracy of your forecasts, the circumstances of the game, and a pinch of luck. It has nothing to do with the amount of identical wagers. The odds of winning a bet do not behave like a slice of pie, where they decrease as more people acquire a piece.

I am not really surprised maybe because in Italy there Is a lot of superstition around gambling and daily Life.
Well, for sure there Is nothing scientific (for what we know nowadays ;D )
Best solution to avoid such situation Is simple: play online ;)

I'd say this was superstition, not greed. He thought that showing his bet to another gambler will somehow jinx it, because the other guy betting on the same thing would not make him win less. I mean odds can be influenced by the amount of people betting on the same thing, but one or 2 people don't change anything. These statistics are measured in hundreds of bets, unless this was something small, like horse racing at a local track where every additional person winning can further split the prize, but I doubt they were betting on something like that.

This behavior is a product of superstitious belief. Most people feel that someone can make them miss their luck. They believe that people can transfer bad luck to others. They think that showing a ticket to an unlucky person can change the fortune of a game destined to win. So it is better to protect the game from everyone to avoid contact with an unlucky person.

Another aspect is that humans are naturally self-centered. Some people that just don't want to assist people always hide their game. They feel that after they have spent time forecasting and analyzing games someone will just come and copy from it freely. They feel that they are been cheated. While others just want to win alone so they always keep their prediction secret.

I can even post my gambling ticket on social media for the world to see. The number of people that replicate the bets will not affect the outcome. I even derive joy from making people win bets. I will gladly give anybody my bets to copy from because it does not harm me.

I can't remember the statistic of the outcome of predictions people copied from me. But many people have lost and won using my prediction.

Yea, some gamblers don't like such thing by revealing their bets to people. I am cool with allowing someone to copy my prediction and bet the same with me because who knows if I win,then he can also win and he will see me like one pro. The outcome of the game remains the same when you show someone your slip or not

Although, this kind of thing do happen if the first gambler sometimes predict rightly and he has been known in that area that he has good knowledge or luck of his games. Apart from this, I don't see any reason why someone will want to copy the prediction of another gambler. This means that the game copier doesn't understand what why he is gambling.

This is just dumb, I don;t get why he wouldn't share it, but I've seen such behavior at least once, where people would fight over a slot machine, because someone was playing there, went to the bathroom and left something like a hat on the seat and someone else came by and moved the hat thinking someone had simply forgotten it. The other guy came back and thought the hat meant the machine was taken...

Anyways, people should be a little more friendly towards each other, especially when it doesn't matter who sits where, who bets on the same team as you, and all that. People turn into beasts when money is at stake.

What I think is that there are people who are very jealous with everything that has to do with betting, some are selfish, because if they win then they are Saying that thanks to them they won, others like to win only them and the others lose In the world there are people who have that type of thought and are happy being that way , I don't understand it but they are like that, but if I make a bet, it happens to me just like you, if they Copy it , it's not bad, it just makes me It would be a shame if you Don't win because it would make you lose money, but if you win it would be the best Because we Would win thanks to my criteria and I like that Everyone wins.

Well, the truth is that some people still copy bets from random people, as well as some gamblers still share their bet slip with random supposed gamblers as well, all this happens in the betting hall or betting shop, whatever its called or referred to in your locality.
First thing is that, sharing bet slip with unknown people is not a bad thing but to be honest, its not advisable, I mean, i see nothing wrong with doing it, but somehow, I just feel its not right, and also, copying bets from random people is also not advisable because you as person do not know how good such person is or have been with winning their bets, so its always bet we get good knowledge of sports so we can place our own bets, all only copy bets from close friends or relatives.

This seems highly odd and I don't understand how it could be true. Why would one random customer walk up to another random customer to steal their betting ideas? Everyone in that setting is trying to beat the system and think they are capable of outsmarting the bookmaker odds, so to copy another player makes little sense. Was there some sort of knowledge that this person was good at picking winners? You might as well pick a bunch of random odds and you'd probably achieve the same outcome. Copying someone elses bets is just symbolic that you have no ability to pick winners by yourself and should be nowhere near a place where you can gamble your money away.

Generally, predictions are personal in nature where you are the ones who had created them. Most of the predictions made by gamblers are carefully planned and thought about by considering several factors that can affect the outcome of the game. While some may find it weird, I think the gambler is completely in the right in refusing to share his detailed information by re-betting his current one.

I agree- again, bets are personal in nature and they should only be casted by the gambler himself. But if the person asking for the re-betting is someone close to me, then I would consider re-betting in by considering the circumstances of the situation.

Here in my country and many parts of the continent, there is a belief that one should never use money earned through lotteries or betting to buy shoes.

Because, according to the superstition if one spends it one's luck would fall onto the ground, to the level of one's feet.

I have a cousin who alledgely could never win again at sport betting, because in one occasion he got lucky, decided to spend on shoes for another person.

That’s really funny, why Will sharing of prediction make him lose? If you are going to lose then you will lose, no matter how you hide your prediction if you are wrong you are still going to lose, he is just giving a rubbish excuse, maybe he those not want to share his prediction with the person, but that those not mean if he shares it he is going to lose. That’s really a very bad assumption, if you place your bet online and nobody sees it, if your prediction is still wrong you are going to lose without anyone see your prediction.

I haven’t even heard about it before, this is my first time and am sure it’s really wrong, no matter the amount of people that used your ticket to replace their bet, if you are luck and your prediction is right, then everyone is going to win, and if your prediction is wrong, then everyone that follows you is going to lose, that belief is a false belief.

I won’t stop anyone from following my predictions, but I will caution the person first. Follow my prediction at your own risk, incase if my prediction is wrong, you don’t have to blame me for that, incase if the person is still interested then I will show the person so that he can place similar bet.

goes to show that each of us have weird beliefs not only in gambling but to other aspect of our lives. what we can do here is that respect each other's beliefs, be tactful if someone will ask you to do something but against your beliefs. for sure, each individual has their own take when it comes to gambling. some have no basis at all but they will firmly believe on it. you can't do anything much about this, but we all just need respect when we talk about this kind of gambling approach.

As we know that Gambling is a game of luck, so yes many people find different ways to believe in luck. These superstitions are also seen in players. Some play using hand bands, headbands, some use scarfs in their heads etc. They do these as they believe doing so will be beneficial for their games. So yes the young player did whatever was his way of believing in luck. I cannot say whether these always works, but yes one should always follow the methods through which he gets these winning bets.

Wow...am sorry Hispo but this sound very funny to me,c'mon I think that it is a superstition belief in your place that has made that happened. So your cousin never won any bet because he used the money that he won from gambling to buy shoes for some one. This means that the person wearing the shoe has trampled on his luck. Superstition beliefs varies from place to place and country to country. If I was your cousin,I wouldn't believe this because our beliefs are what works for us because it is connected to our actions.

This really has to be done because some people actually blame us when they follow what we are betting on.
But there are also those who can really think well where when they follow other people's bets and lose, they can still accept it gracefully without getting angry or blaming other people for making these betting choices.

There are many cases where gamblers who follow other people's bets actually blame the person because the bet they made lost, even worse, until a dispute or fight occurs over the matter.

There are still many superstitious gamblers, especially gamblers who often gamble in offline or small local casinos. They often use mystical things in the hope that they can get something useful for them to win from gambling. So I'm not surprised if, in the future, there are still gamblers who don't want to show the results of their predictions to other people because they still believe in these things. Indeed, there is no guarantee that mystical things can give victory in gambling, but it will come back to each person.

Why this belief is because a lot of them gamblers are superstitious. And I actually don't think it's because they are gamblers, but rather because most people are superstitious. It's just when they gamble it becomes more obvious.

Could it be true? Well, I think you know the answer. Some cultures believe that photographs steal part of the soul? The logic behind not sharing your bets is pretty much the same, I think.

Every gambler has their own belief at times. Others may find it strange, but it is not for them. What that guy did is comparable to what I've heard about psychology: don't tell people about your plan since the more you tell others about it, the less likely it is to happen. That individual might be thinking that if anyone sees his bet, it would put a jinx on him. That sort of thing. Gamblers are also superstitious because gambling is always, if not most of the time, based on luck.

A variety of strategies work among gamblers. Many gamblers also start believing in superstitions to win at gambling. Since no one gives any guarantee in gambling. Everyone bets their hard-earned money so i will not disrespect any gambler's belief because if he can win in gambling through that belief it is up to him rather I want to respect every gambler's belief. But what I believe in is luck. If luck favors me I will win, otherwise I will lose. I do not support the notion that exposure to any other gambler will result in losing my bets.

Doubtful - but I respect their beliefs because who knows exactly if that attracts luck and wins the jackpot prize. In fact, some gamblers ware their lucky charm when gambling, it means that they believe in something that gives them luck because we never know that was the thing also he did before and then win.

It is for you to believe it or not but in gambling, in a situation where we rely on pure luck - everything we did never assure winnings nor it increases our chance. Well, anyways, at least we do something.

I often share sports betting predictions with my friends who want to place bets and I also often receive betting predictions from my friends. there is a pull.

Bottom line: I have never and do not want to change the slip that I have placed, I want to receive predictions from my friends for other bets, for example: initially I installed clubs A and B, if my friend says a prediction for the same club, of course I don't want to change or reset my bet slip, I will say give another prediction besides the club that I installed, I stand my ground, in case it's an unlucky bet.

thus predictions can be right and wrong, what's the difference between friends and me, for example my friend's prediction is lucky and my prediction that day is unlucky, but that's not a regret for me.
Conclusion: predictions received and divided, but different bets, not for the initial bet slip. as you can see, it is strange, inconsistent, indecisive and doubtful.

That's very common; that's what you call a superstitious belief, and these are practices of people who believe more in luck than their skills. Also, you can't blame the man; even if I were in the same situation, I would not share my bet as I would just like to keep my privacy.

In sports betting, we choose a team based on our analysis, and if you share it with someone, that will only make you liable to explain your bet because some would ask why you came up with that bet. The only simple rule I follow in sports betting is "my money, my rule," so I can choose any bet without the responsibility of sharing or explaining it.

Superstitiousness is created to achieve something. In religion for instance, it is created to make the religion reverend.
If you check cultures too there is high level of superstition. As time goes it will seem that those superstitious believes are becoming real among the believers but only an external body can stand to prove them wrong.
In gambling, especially sports betting, what is described by Op doesn't work.

Well, I know it sounds rather funny but it is what people believe around here. I have even mentioned that superstition to people who live around and they are well aware they are never supposed to buy shoes with money got from luck.

I also think someone should not take superstitions in such a literal manner, but it is what it is. I think it is a common think in small populations, for them to have superstitions.

The superstitious things are natural in my opinion, because humans have analogy and parable "like" in an action then he found justification for what happened to him in the past, then there were some people who also experienced it so that such a parable sentence Getting justification by others who make it a belief in the next generation because it will be a prohibition for those who are intended not to make luck in others in the future, so that it becomes a belief to this day.

The name of that belief in some ways cannot be analogous because the brain cannot reach at what point is responded by our souls and hearts, maybe this will be fairly funny if consumed by logic, but it is different if we consume it with our hearts.

I think you are pointing out the fact our brains are very good to try to find patterns or association between things, even though they could have nothing to do between them.

So perhaps, someone would bet in a particular match while having a good time with friends, and win. Next time he is alone and turns out he lost his money. The person will start to associate the company of his friends as a "charm" and try to get them all together to see whether he can score a right prediction again or not, if he does (by pure chance) he may become completely convinced of his experiment.

Yes, I agree with your comment. The human brain often seeks to find patterns or associations between events, even if they are unrelated. This can lead to the formation of superstitions and beliefs in random coincidences. Due to such associations, people may start believing in certain charms or rituals based on their past experiences, even if those experiences were purely coincidental. As a result, these beliefs may be passed down through generations.

It would be a continuous cycle and kind of behavior would really be that very common yet human brains do really loves on making up and observing some patterns and on the time that they would be able to experience up
some winning situation then they would really be trying out to remember on what are the things that involved or been really be able to encounter along the way on which it would really be that tending to be included
on the next session that he would really be into. This is a normal approach and behavior on which people would really be trying out to apply and this is where beliefs would be molded out and even with the oddest
kind of belief would really be created.

You cant really blame out someone on creating up something like this which it is really that part of our instinct on having this way. This is why just let those people on having that kind of approach.
Its true that not all things would really be that effective because when it comes to gambling then it all matters with luck and everything would really be depending on chances.
This is why we do really came up with lots of varieties when it comes to these kind of patterns on which people would really be following later on.

I don't see a problem with sharing your predictions with others and I don't believe if I do it that it'll make me lose. Sharing your prediction with others doesn't change the games that you have already booked so why will it reduce your chances of winning the bets, they're just superstitions.

I don't believe in superstition because the games are global and what you believe in doesn't after those in other parts of the world. It could affect those in your part of the world but has nothing to do with others. Superstitious are also not real, they just boost your confidence.

And they can also make you have less confidence in yourself but this works for only situation when you haven't done the thing you wanted to do but if you have already played the game then the superstition has no effect anymore. Sharing prediction isn't a wrong thing to do.

Well, that kind of belief may work or seems to work for those who believe in them,  just like every other form of belief it's remarkable enough to say that those who have built such beliefs in such superstitions have the life worked around such mindset and whatever happens to them in reality,  they try to ramp it around that line of thoughts because there is no logical colouration between reviling your bet vs the result and there is nothing that can influence the result of the game negative or positive.

This is not the first time I am seeing this kind of situation most especially in physical casinos where gamblers have physical contact.

Different  people have their Different beliefs that they feel works for them whether superstitious or not, that believe is what they live by and most times it works for them, left for me I don't think that sharing my predictions with another bettor would bring me badluck because I was introduced into gambling by a friend who has some good strategies of making daily profit from sports betting, to convince me into the game he shared one of his predictions with me and it came out successful and that's what got my attention to sports betting because he was able to prove his winning ability by giving me a predictions that made me win good money on my first trial.
 However, I've also shared some games I got from him to other friends and it also came out good except for the one's who out of greed decided to include some games to the predictions I gave them, now what I'm trying to say is that everyone have the way they picture certain things and most times it might not seem right to the next person but if such things have been proven, like in a case where someone has shared his predictions severally and it turns out bad but didn't share and won he might start developing a mentally that sharing his bet brings badluck and continue with that believe, though I'm not superstitious and I don't believe in such.

We will always have a mixed and contrary opinions from different categories of gamblers because each person has what he's upto in gambling and there's a level to which they can go along with other gamblers in some certain conditions, it takes me nothing giving someone the opportunity to win if am sure about the game and have no money to bet, but someone like me may not accept any offer from other gaamblers because i have my takes being selective.

Well like you have already said, illiteracy is like a disease and it does make people think differently harbouring some strange believe and crazy principle that when you think about it actually looks very stupid and crazy but for this type of behavior I have seen lots of gamblers do this and they always stand on their word about not sharing that if they share they are going to lose and if you check well even if they don't share they still lose so the essence of them insisting on the secrecy of their bet placed is just one whole stupid believe.

Inadvertently creating an echo chamber where people are influenced by each other's ideas and lose their capacity to objectively examine the games is a risk when sharing forecasts. The false sense of security you describe can easily lead to excessive gambling.

Also, its important to remember that despite your rejection of superstitions, people are, by nature, pattern-seeking creatures. The very definition of superstition is the human tendency to see order where none exists and to give significance to chance. It's an integral (though fallible) aspect of the human mind.

You can't prove it when bets don't affect the match, but I remember watching a video about this kind of belief. The video mentioned that sharing your secret way to success becomes less effective when you begin to share or talk about it.

I'd say i'm glad to share my predictions because there are gamblers interested in sports betting but not all have an idea about the sports they want to bet on. More than half of the bets i've shared are probably losers because I don't always stick to one sport.

Not sure what is your problem with it when it is clearly said that it is His belief and you should not care about that? make your own bet slip why ask for His?
and maybe he had been holding those set since then , actually I also do this some time ago , but not in sports bet but in other gambling like lottery or in local gambling like betting for the last digit of basketball scores that we called ENDING.

Sharing prediction for me is sacred, it is only mine to win mate and not with others.

Maybe I will share table in other gambling game but not in prediction one .

Its just another gambler superstition. Gamblers have many of them. I think you can never scientifically explain this cause bet is already done so someone other won't affect its mathematical possibilities. But if gamblers feel violated when they rebet his bets I sort of understand him. The guy probably wants it to stay private possibly because if he wins only person that will know is him. That gives me sort of personal feeling.

We know that there are other people who believe in superstition and there are others who do not. Then it's just common sense, why tell others your prediction because after you did it, it will appear that they can also copy your prediction and get it right, there will be many of you who will share the winnings, at that point will you agree that there will be a share in win?

It's not true. In online sports bookies, many gamblers do share their parlays in the chat place. That means anyone could tail it. I actually did it once provided by a VIP platinum member and the odds totaled by x4.00 - 4.99, if my memory serves me right. It won and I thank him, he replied back with "no problem" and then I was shocked many gamblers did thank him too. That means the superstitious curse that you are telling is not true. This is also the first time I heard of that belief.
I don't have anything like that kind of superstition when it comes to sports betting but I know a lot when it comes to casino games. Well, maybe whoever said that before his bet was duplicated must not want his picks to be shared and that's the only reason I can think of because I don't think it's real or true.

Maybe after seeing our predictions, they will have more information that can add to the details of the information they have collected. But to share the winnings, we don't know if that person is willing to share the winnings because we have already shared our predictions with him. It depends on each person. After all, if we really want to share our predictions with others, we just give them and if we don't want to share them, we also don't need to share them with others so that if we win, we win on our own.

For an outcome that neither hard work or money can predict but pure luck refusing to share your predictions because the individual thinks it will bring back luck is just a superstitious belief. On the other hand, I wouldn't blame the person it could be that they have noticed a pattern of loss whenever they reveal their predictions to others. And mind you, this may not be connected to it in any way as the outcome of their predictions is not within their control.

I don't know how the sharing it would be, is this sharing your winnings to someone because you think this is mandatory out of humanity? Or sharing your winning percentage since nothing wrong with this as long as you can get your fair share of winnings since at the end of the day you can talk with those guys with our experiences and laugh on somethings you made and discuss on what would be the next possible bets you do.

There are a lot of people with a lot of different superstitions like these, and this is just one of them. There is nothing like someone else's luck will make you lucky as well and make you win, and similarly, someone else's bad luck cannot make you lose, it's all about your own luck and if it's not going to work, it won't work even if another unlucky person isn't betting on the same outcomes as you, so this is simply illogical to think that you will lose the bet if another person with a bad luck bet with you as well.

A lot of people think that if they gamble on a certain day or a certain time, they will lose and if they do it on another day, they tend to win more. Now, none of this basically makes any sense but it is just because they think it works that way, and they follow these things thinking they can maximize their winnings and minimize the losses.

I dont know if this is just a coincidence or its like superstition but I once experienced something that made me confused when betting on esport predicting every game and starting to bet there and the next day I saw the bet slip I won all but when I predicted some bets again and tried to tell the prediction I told some of my friends and they followed my bet and finally lost the bet. after that I tried again to predict and bet without telling my friend but in fact my bet won and tried again and told my friend but at that time my prediction was wrong.
after that I paused and thought about what the problem was and was this just a coincidence or was this like a law of nature that you dont need to have a mind telling other people about your predictions but if you think about it logically its just about luck but this happened several times and I concluded that actually sharing the results of predictions is not necessary because there is definitely a risk of losing and if people who imitate our bets also lose it will be like a loss so until now when I predict most of them I keep it to myself without telling anyone except when Im a little hesitant to ask for people consideration other than my prediction.

It's difficult to be in a situation like that, for example, if you know for yourself that the chances of your prediction happening are high, you will share it with people you don't know, imagine that you put a lot of effort into that analysis and then the majority will benefit, that's okay with me if you are close acquaintances but you don't know them, the result seems to be that I am the loser and they are the winners without difficulty. :-\

If gamblers knew a way to win, they would always maintain the secret, but no! It doesn't work that way; even if you practice Vodou or possess some sort of superpower, if the odds aren't in your favour or luck isn't on your side, then that ticket isn't for you. Is there something similar to reducing someone's chances when gambling? That would be like praying to God for money when you worship him every day but are reluctant to tell someone how you speak with him out of fear that he won't hear you; that would be foolish.

When you share a betting code with another bettor, nothing happens. I have duplicated certain codes and bet them, which hundreds of gamblers do every day just to keep themselves occupied, and they win as well. When the initial bet is lost, the rest of the gamblers lose as well. In addition, bookmakers and sportsbook platforms include this booking code for a reason, in case you wish to share your ticket and games with other players; it does not add or subtract anything from the initial stake.


When you really examine and examine these kinds of gamblers, you will notice that they rarely have a winning ticket in their lives when it comes to sports predictions, and they never win anything because they are constantly attached to that superstitious belief. I'll share my booking codes with my friends, and when they win big, they'll share me as well. There's nothing mystical about winning; it either happens as it was intended to or it doesn't.

That's just how frustrating luck is. Gamblers are having belief that a 'particular thing' might cause or yield to unfortune. But technically it has no direct relationship with the outcome. We all have our own fallacies on almost everything. But on the same instance of sharing your prediction, some people are not open into such thing simply because they know how hard it is to come up with a win and those who would be getting a share of the prediction, especially if it turn out to be right, is somehow getting a shortcut which could hurt the pride of a gambler even if they turn out to be both winners. This is jist how I understand things with regard to prediction sharing. On my end, I don't mind doing so but that's just me being me. Contrast is valid.

Gambling is always risky whether we know that the bet we are playing is going to be risky or not, we are to get in the train not minding what will be the final outcome. Normally the man thought that day will be his lucky dey but not knowing that the contrary will happens. To be honest, the man was not supposed to that move when he knows that he doesn't have money to pay for all his bets.

 Whose knows whether that is the way he had be going to the sport bet shop to bet without holding fund to pay and keep winning. That day was never his lucky day to be precised. We don't need to rubbish ourselves and personality doing something that can make us look selfish or bad in the society.

People are just more open in their bets since nothing will really change logically if he shares his bet choice to some people that excludes high rollers. People believe in this kind of superstition but we can't blame them because it is their life. Imagine those people who actively share their bets in this forum. Did they actually lose all their bets because of sharing and catching the bad luck? No, they really helped many gamblers here who are finding other insights about the fights.

That could be true to some but in my opinion this is something that really happens in the real world, especially in local casinos with limited prize pots, people wouldn't to share the pot with someone else so they make up insane superstitions to derail the conversation, when what you really want is to keep your bets to yourself so that if you win, you get to own the pot to yourself. In massive online casinos like Stake.com this doesn't really happen since first and foremost we're a community right there, and another would be the fact that there's just no point in keeping your bets to yourself since prize pots are relatively larger in online casinos due to the sheer amount of active players at any given day.

I believe you've gotten answers to every questions you asked already... AFAIK, most of the experiences we post about aren't really necessary since you can possibly understand that by yourself... How does rebooking a bet reduces the chances of getting a win? ..
I'll say ; except the former uses diabolical means to get his predictions - Which in so many cases, doesn't workout well - then it could have any effect if he's really got that as an etiquette behind whatever diabolism he did... Even with that, whatever predictions that was meant to show up won't change automatically for everyone over a single man's diabolism.

Gambling activities come with their own assortment of beliefs, and we have our own notions about how to begin profiting from the system. I don't believe in superstition; rather, a legitimate gambling technique will result in substantial amounts fortune. There are numerous techniques available; the only thing remaining is to have a good entry on the games, either a confident win or an enhanced style of play. There is no such thing as gambling on a specific day because you believe that luck favors some days and bad luck favors others. The games favor you as long as you stay on the proper track.

The odds of sports betting I think are more predictable than other types of gambling. And I'm not surprised by the strange phenomenon by some people who are thick with superstitions, they really believe in certain powers that can intervene in match victory.

Sounds strange but, bettors can be free to guess in ways and variations that even use their culture.

This behavior does not really makes sense at all, I could understand this if we were talking about the lottery and you were about to make your bet, if the person instead played your numbers and they were the ones to win millions of dollars then that could be an incredibly upsetting experience, however when it comes to sport bets this does not happen as both gamblers will be paid the same in the case they happened to win, so this is just a superstitious behavior that seems completely irrational to me.

Maybe by sharing predictions and at the end we win, we can celebrate together because it will be fun to get together and party because we have won. But yeah, that will depend on each one because if we share with close friends who have won bets together, it will feel even more beautiful. And maybe we will predict other bets to find one more prediction that we can place as a bet and hope we can win with them again.

If I were him, I also wouldn't share my predictions with others, it's not because I believe that when I share my predictions that I will lose, it just bothers me a little when people ask for my predictions for their bets. And the main thing is that I don't want to feel guilty when they lose when they use my prediction, because you know that we don't know for sure that the prediction is right or not, so I prefer not to share it with others.

That is really good if people are like you, but mostly on where I am right now, most of them are keeping silent and not wanting anyone else to be successful, and they are just selfish people; they don't share their predictions, and sometimes they won't be giving tips when they win. It really depends on the person because we are the same. I always share because if both of you win, that person will do the same with you, and you'll be both good friends and company while gambling.

I talked to some sports gamblers and they said the possible reason is because the sports bookies won't let a duplicate win. One winner only and it must be different.
But this kind of belief will only be effective on long parlays because with singles there will be a lot of duplicate bets.
I kind of understood it when explained to me but I doubt the bookies can control what will happen in one sport that is why I still doubted it is true.
A win will always be a win if you predicted it right, even if someone copied you twice or three times, it won't matter to the bookies because the outcome is decided by how good the sports players will play and not because the bookies said so.
But we are gamblers, we can believe whatever we want, to avoid being copied I guess looking for an empty queue will help. In online sports gambling, this cannot be avoided.

Yes I think sharing predictions will never give good results rather it will make the situation much worse because it is very difficult to give accurate prediction in gambling. No one can tell when it will go in which direction, many times depending on luck, if it goes wrong, blame it. That's why it's better to do it yourself. Even if you lose here, you don't have to listen to anyone. It is not possible to get good results if you believe in all the powers. Have faith in yourself and move forward. The faster the result in the game, the more likely it is to become addictive

Gamblers come in a shapes and sizes or I can rightly say that gamblers come will their different personal beliefs, superstitions, behavioural dispositions and what have you. Before I provide my thoughts on the OP, here is another strange belief that a gambler told a friend told me. He said his friend notices that 7 out of 10 times when his uses another person's money to gamble he wins but if he uses his own money, the odds of winning is just 2 out of 10 times. Weird isn't it? Okay, from the OP's narrative I think that what is happening there is basically someone exercising his beliefs from personal experience and preference. There is nothing superstitious about it.

not as easy as you might imagine. something related to money, especially if you have to bet combining money with your friends, maybe we imagine sharing predictions is beautiful, but in reality, when the predictions you share lose, maybe your friends will get angry and your friendship is destroyed. you can see from the other threads of this case as this kind of problem has happened a long time ago and it's better for me to close the prediction for myself after experiencing my past experience.

It's pretty simple. Gamblers don't want to admit that they are wrong with their predictions. So instead of clarifying it to themselves and accepting the fact that they are wrong with their analysis, they do create a new belief that will blame other people or other circumstances. It is sad because it only affirms the gambler's lack of accountability.

It's easier to say "It is because of other people" or "Because that guy rebets my take" than admitting "I am wrong."

When situation like this where they insist to bet base on your prediction then make them understand that it will never be a 100% accurate so that they can accept the result when unexpected result came. Blaming will be the result if they don't understand the situation and they are just always go for the win then count already their profit while result still not showing up yet. Best be realistic to them and for sure they will never get angry to you and bet again because they see how fair you are as a bettor.

And it is their right to do whatever they wanted since it is their strategy and their number combination so why care if they wanted to share or not?
this is the problem nowadays in people that they keep making problem those things that isn't really a problem at all lol.
and this is not a belief for me that person just dont wanna share His numbers thats it.

Any gambler has the right to keep their strategies and predictions in private. We don't have to force them to share it if aren't really comfortable sharing it. There are also gamblers who don't feel comfortable sharing their techniques or even their number combination as it is part of their mantras believing that it could affect their luck. It might sound weird but we only have to respect their choice of keeping it.
I don't really think it is appropriate to call them selfish or what because we all have our personal techniques and strategies and it is our personal choice whether to share it or not and it is not our obligation to share everything to others.

Gambling is also a game of luck, so we cannot deny that there are a lot of gamblers that have their own beliefs and even have traditional superstitious beliefs. I don't mind them but I respect them. Not a big deal at all. I believe people that are bothered by these kinds of styles are new to gambling. We know there is no science behind those beliefs but let's just mind our own business because it won't harm us.

Personally, I do not have my own gambling beliefs. Since my college days, I always thought of buying a lottery ticket every birthday because I might get lucky. I haven't done it yet, not even once though.

it's important that they don't blame when they make the wrong prediction, they must be warned in advance that every guess and prediction can be wrong and not 100% accurate, so you also have to understand the risks, sometimes when a friend wants to take my bet, I don't refuse it, but I don't have a problem if I lose and it's not accurate it's just that my friend probably won't accept it so it's better to bet for yourself without others knowing.

Our friends are like that, always thinking that it will be accurate and imagining winning results that have not been obtained, it is common, so it won't be strange if there are friends or people who want to share predictions or they want to follow our predictions, I'd rather gamble for yourself and bet without friends and other people knowing.

Some gamblers could be very trickish, especially when they are demanding something from you, if you're not wise enough they will use that thing they've got from you as against you, if two close friends can bet together and they won, before you know it that the other partner with the betting slip has went ahead to claim the morning and departed to somewhere else where he could not be found, this means under the sun, there's nothing new again, we must learn to be reserved, self dependent and be very wise.

I can't say about others and what happens to them but if I talk about my personal experiences, I've never experienced something like this nor have I seen it happening with anyone else, so I don't believe anything like that exists. It all can be a coincidence where you and your friends were destined to lose the bets that you guys lost and won what you were destined to win, and the losses were not only because you've informed your friends about them.

These are all superstitions and it is all because our minds think about them that way, otherwise, if we don't think that way, it's a normal thing to lose some bets and win some, and these are pure coincidence that you are losing your bets when telling others and winning when betting alone.

Have you ever heared that "the secret is the key to the business"? Maybe it applies to the mindset of those gamblers. When you have a plan going on, you shouldn't tell others any detail about it. It applies to gambling, business, private life and so on... I don't know if it's superstition or not, but when you tell people what you are doing and what you are aiming, it seems things start falling apart, like they envied you, maybe not intentionally, but unconsciously. If you don't believe this kind of thing, go ahead and conclude by yourself.

Personally, I prefer to not risk, because I believe we, as living beings, absorb and disseminate energies which can be good or bad, depending the kind of stimulus we receive.

Yeah, I think some gamblers might feel that way, thinking that sharing their own bets could make their luck go down. I don't believe it's true tho, as sharing your bet with someone doesn't change anything. However, everyone has their own beliefs.

To be honest, personally I don't mind sharing my bet with anyone but I don't like to share the strategies I use with random people. I consider my strategies to be personal and believe that everyone should develop their own strategies when it comes to betting.

So from your story, it's better for us to share it with them so they can later share it with us when we can't find any clues. It can also be a way to find a good friend because if they won't share their predictions in times of trouble and only want predictions from us, they are not a good friend. And we have often met so far that we don't need friends like that. And that corresponds to giving and receiving with others so that if we can win, we can feel it with them and vice versa.

Well, it's not as easy as we imagine but it's up to us. If we want to share our predictions with them, we can do so but if not, we also don't need to share them with them and maybe we can hide our predictions. And if we win, we also don't tell them that the winning money came from our predictions, but we can celebrate with them without telling them about our victory. And if we want to share it with them, we need to explain to them that this prediction can be right or wrong so we are not responsible for the outcome so they understand it.

In line with that, I find it amusing when some people tend to believe that my bet got more chances compared to them, it's not that I'm an expert to such games but they wanted to bet on what is mine in certain occasions because they know that I well updated to the news and the speculations as well about which team or player got more chances. Although they know that it is really guaranteed but I still keep on reminding them that sometimes it much more fun to bet on what they think would win rather than putting their money on me as they are just taking out the interesting part which gives them thrill.

This is not rare at all, when it comes to trading we have a whole industry revolving around that very concept, people pay high sums of money in order to know what other traders are thinking about the current market conditions and what they would do, and some take this even further and they use copy trading to mimic the movements of other traders, and just as in your example by relying on someone else instead of using their own judgment not only those people waste any chance to improve, but they also waste the thrill they could get by obtaining positive results by themselves.

what is certain is that when sharing your predictions with friends or other people, always give the words that there is always a risk in every bet, and this is not management advice. but for myself its better to be an introverted bettor than having to share predictions because for me its very risky for myself.
because I've seen someone share their predictions and show the amount at bet and when a big win the news spreads to all people and these people come to ask for parts or ask for accurate predictions on sports betting and that I imagine how tormented he is when many people come to share his predictions.

Well, I do believe on some superstitions including in gambling because my own money is at risk here. As long as it doesn't involve hurting our self or other people, I think it is fine. Nothing will lose anyway if we believe on it but there might only be a gain. I do believe in bad luck or good luck and I do believe that it can be passed on so many ways, not only by letting someone copy your bets.

If let say a high roller is going to copy my bet, then maybe I can give an exception because I assume that he will tip me huge once we both get lucky and win our bets. Another common superstitious belief in gambling is like you said bringing a girl but I think many of us can do that without minding the superstition. We just want to have a company with us and we like seeing our girl at all times.

Superstitions and gaming are as old as gambling. Believe in lucky charms? Why not if you're having fun. People also think chocolate milk comes from brown cows, so who knows?

A high roller copying your bet deserves a huge gratuity, so why not throw a parade? But what matters is if it makes the game more engaging for you
Whether you bring a girl for luck or merely because you like her, you decide. After all, it's your game, rules. The only guideline is to play your way, whether it's luck or chance. Since nobody counts chickens, don't count them before, after, or ever

Whether we do like it or not on which there would really be those people who would really be following up something on what they do believe whether it would really be that supertitious ones or really that basing up with some common behavior that they known on which they would really be trying out to follow because they are really that believing that they could be able to increase their luck on which is really that something a common approach on which a gambler would really be doing.Even on the simplest method or thing like wearing up a specific color of shirt on the day that they would play.There are things which we do really always have in mind even though its not really that totally supertitious but still be considered to be the things that we are following because we do really believe that it is something that relevant or factor that could affect out your luck on the time you do play. This is something a behavior on which cant really be changed out on which people would really be
following it out and despite of being not effective then due to desperation and strong belief they would really be pushing themselves more than with their limit on which i could tell that its not something
recommendable.

Gamblers are one of the most superstitious person that you find in the world. Perhaps he doesn't want to share because he believed that it will just bring bad luck to him. As for me, I don't care, I will share my predictions here or with my friends and others.

So it's going to be a win-win for us. Obviously if I hit my bet then they will win as well. And there are moments that my friends give me nice tip for sharing my bets with them. But for others this might not be the case and it could be interpret as somewhat being greedy person, but for sure he has his beliefs and we can't take that away from that guy.

It’s their bet and they took their time to make the analysis before placing it, so even if they decide to not to share it with anyone it’s normal, they worked for it and they can decide not to share it, but why do they have to say sharing of prediction makes him lose, he shouldn’t beat around the bush, he should have just been direct that he those not like sharing his prediction with people and am sure everyone will understand him, he might even request for money from people that are planning to use his bet slip to place similar bet.

I know we all have choice but I still see it as selfishness, they didn’t request for the technique or the strategy, all they requested for is just the bet with he has already placed, they wanted to place similar bet, so I don’t think he is going to expose any technique or anything to them, but as I just said it’s a matter of choice.

Casino platforms have many experienced people who make predictions and they are correct most of the time. But not always the predictions of those gamblers are right, maybe some are more against the odds than if they are right I think. Many gamblers won their bets and he claimed that he had predicted that game and he was able to win the bets from there. But there are many experienced people who make betting predictions and they are mostly accurate, some gamblers do not share their predictions with others. But not all gamblers are the same there are many gamblers who make predictions about gambling and share them among people I think this is very good aspect and his behaviors are considered extraordinary. Of course if I were a gambler where I could predict casino games I would share them with other people on how to make these predictions. Because I want those people who bet with their hard earned money not to lose, so if I can make predictions I will share them with them. I will share my predicted results with everyone and I will definitely take it as good behavior and I will definitely feel calm if I can do this.

I don't have a problem sharing my bets as well, the bets has already been placed and there's no influence on the games if I showed it to thousands of people or not, superstition only works if you believe in it but I don't believe any superstition because I'm not a spiritual person.

Gambler's are believers of superstitions because they need luck to win their bets and when they believe in something it's easier for them to believe that they'll be lucky playing that particular bet but this has nothing to do with their winning, superstition are just for confidence.

I don't believe in superstitious but still there's some pattern I established for myself that I used before playing any game and sometimes it works for me while others times it doesn't work so I don't depend on that patterns to play my bet but I still use them to boost my confidence.

Sometimes when I share my predictions with friends, I always say that these predictions are just predictions. No one knows whether this prediction can win or lose and so far, they have known about it and can accept it. It's true that the results don't win often so they feel that it's just a prediction and if they don't want to follow it and just want to know my prediction, that's fine too and I'll still give it to them. But many of my friends have managed to win from the results of their predictions but I don't know how they predicted like that.

That's a strange belief other gamblers are proud to show to the public their bets like Drake, I know many gamblers who are too showy and boastful about their bets, these people are confident and good at what they do but some gamblers are too superstitious many of them come from a country where they practice superstitions on every they do, they remember everything that brought them big winnings like the dress they wore, the time they bet and much other superstitious belief, but there's no harm in applying their belief it's their money anyway and they are happy doing that, so its mind your own business when it comes to betting.

Everyone has their superstitious that they follow.  That one isn't really that wierd.  After giving your picks to someone else and losing and then next time not and winning will start to make people lean towards not sharing lol.  There are far more rediculous ones out there I'm sure.

I have noticed that this kind of superstitions are more common in communities which are more inclined towards religion and folk culture than in big cities or metropolis.
For example, in my city I have never heard of anyone talk about strange gambling believes, however, in small towns I have listened to people mention how they can predict lucky numbers by remembering their dreams or can predict outcomes depending on the numbers the dream of or the animals they see in their dreams.

It all sounds wacky enough, but there was people in my family who took it seriously, enough to wake up in the morning and write down whatever number they saw.

@len10 from what you said it makes much sense and easy to deal with your reasons why you don't subscribe to the idea of sharing your predictions which are for the sake of your security and to avoid certain disturbances too. Moreso I thought am the only one that frowns at that behavior of people coming around you to request for a small part of the amount won and this is normally experience in a traditional casino setting.

But just as @ethereumhunter has also expressed, I still think there's nothing wrong sharing your predictions to friends or fellow gamblers as they are just like every other normal bet predictions is either we all  win or lose.

Wait what? Do people believe in this kind of thing? I have never had any issues sharing my predictions. But nowadays, I like to keep things to myself. If people take that prediction and bet on it, they might lose. Then who is to blame? Obviously, they will blame me. So for that reason, I don't like to share it anymore.
But I didn't know that people would not share for this kind of reason. This is quite new to me. But I like to do it on my own. I don't ask others for help or share mine to help others. It's just that I don't want to be anyone's bad side. Or blame someone for my losses. Doing it on my own, I can blame myself and focus on improving my skills, rather than depending on someone else entirely.

This topic is very good, because on several occasions people may believe their predictions and what will happen , I think I have already told it, but I want to bring it to this thread because I think it is very interesting, where I live people look to do raffles, be it cars, other items of that style, so when the raffles are very famous things get good, because they choose 4-figure raffles, and that is quite difficult for you to win that raffle You have to be very lucky , however when they sell many tickets, I have witnessed the raffle owners talk and whisper among themselves to go to a person who smokes tobacco so that they can do a "job" for him so that the number does not fall among the people who bought the raffle, because if so they keep the prizes and continue to do more raffles with the same cars , motorcycles, etc.

I couldn't help but listen to this, because I found it very Funny the fact that People look for witches, shamans and that kind of help so that they interfere in a lottery, obviously when people here go to those places they faithfully believe in the person who gave them He takes large amounts of money for doing that, the most important thing is that after that, and the winning number comes out, one of the tickets that someone did buy does come out , so this type of belief is based on the faith that the person places in it, but it is not something infallible that is going to happen as such. I really do not know whether to classify that belief as nonsense or something like that , it is Preferable that you start doing probabilities and statistics that is much more credible and closer to Reality.

So, this raffle thing with shamans and all, yeah, that's something interesting; no doubt about it. Using "magic" to influence a draw is just something, right? People seem to be striving to make reality meet their desires, even if it's not genuine. The point? Things are done because people believe them.

Maybe it's preferable to believe numbers and stuff. Probabilities and math exist. If you understand, you can count on it but not touch it. I suppose people can believe in witches and things for raffles, but statistics are more reliable. Raffles, numbers, witches, and other things mix together, but it's good.

Actually such belief system used in gambling is nothing but a nonsense belief. If the person they ran to for magical means for them to win the raffle draws really does has the power to influence the draws to their favour why didn't he uses same power to make himself rich too through the raffles or does it mean the witch is satisfied with the little amount paid to him by those who came to him seeking for their ticket to be the one to win the raffle.

I am sure if those magician  does really have that power they would buy a ticket and use their power  to influence the outcome in their own very favour to get the raffle prize. Like who doesn't want money?

Sharing the predictions with your friends is your own opinion,Most of the people had this habit of sharing with their friends.Some prediction of yours will suitable to some people,but it also leads to loss for some friends.So the predictions is fit for the shorter period,So recreate the new prediction on every week.Because the program of the gambling is not the fix one.Every gambler should update himself to the new technology to find the winnings at all his prediction.So it's better to share your valuable prediction to other people.

I think the person is just making excuses especially when he is betting in a lottery.  His aim is to solo the winning amount if his ticket won the lottery.  it is really a huge difference in a lottery games when several person have the same number combination and won.  Like when there are 10 people who happen to have the same number combination and won the lottery, the prize then will be divided by 10 unlike when there is only one winner.  So I find it reasonable if someone who is buying ticket for lotter does not want to share his number combination because of the said reason

I went through a very sad and regrettable situation, last year I traveled to another city and in the other city I was living at my aunt's house, it happens that I was in a room with my cousin, well in the first week I was doing my analyzes and sports betting, so he constantly asked me what I was doing and I refused to tell him what I was doing, as he taught me a lot so I relented and told him, he started doing sports betting, at first he only placed 1 $, as it was a very low value I thought: it's not something for me to worry about. week passed and I continued doing my analyzes and bets as I always did

until I started to realize that he started to criticize me and encourage me that I should put a lot of money in bets, and I asked him why, then he replied telling me that he had put 50$ in a barcelona game and lost everything. I was shocked, honestly it was something quite obvious that barcelona would lose in that game and he always said that he only put in 1$, so those two pieces of news started to make me very worried mainly because he starts acting strange. until he started watching the games with very loud sound. man my concern only increased, so he suddenly shouts: I won; I ask you: what have you gained?

he tells me that he won a multibet bet that had 15 games, the guy was celebrating every night and the next day he went to drink beer and sleep away from home, days passed and he was betting with the hope of winning more and more, what you saw and he kept losing, until one day the guy shouted again saying he won, but this time he hit a multibet bet with more than 15 games and had put more money, and as expected the guy took the money and went to drink beer and just came back the next day. The fact is that he spent more than a month making that kind of bets and he didn't win anything and he started asking me for money to play and when I didn't give him he kept hating me, that all made me feel guilty. I was in front of a person who was addicted to alcohol and possibly started gambling addiction

In gambling varies types of gamblers around us. Some gamblers try to hide their gambling and some of the gamblers prefer to reveal their bet money to others by presenting their betting performance. They try to focus they are big gamblers. They feel proud of themselves by doing this work but on the contrary, it makes the work look daunting. Gamblers may differ but no one can be held responsible for this. Because a gambler what he will do is right.

The odds are fixed after the bet has been made, some systems of betting however do change according to the overall number of similar bets made so it can only be a hangover from that I think.  Either its that or its like a wish, you cant tell anyone or it will never come true.   That would be funny but also possible people just prefer not to say exactly how they are betting, I guess there is some logic to it along the lines of play your cards close like its a poker game :D

True, each person does have their own approach when it comes to things on which some might really be that too mindful about their bets and doesnt really end up on sharing it out and there are ones who doesnt really care
since they do know or been wary that it would really be requiring still that luck factor on every bet that gamblers do make. There's no such thing that could be able to alter out or would make out some sudden change like
been copied by other gamblers or would re-bet but of course we do have our own beliefs in life on which we do follow and lets just respect others people perspective because we do have that different mindset and different set of things that we do believe and just let them be.Its not really that totally something new that people do have those kind of behaviors on speaking about affecting their luck or having that kind of
steps or whatever things that they are doing. Sooner or later they would really be still sticking into that idea whenever they would really be having that gambling session.

We win when it's our time and losses when the system worked against us. The whole objective of gambling is for us to come out on top, which is a simple short form of wagering on games. Luring individuals to gamble with your own strategy is not recommended because it is unimportant and leads to their blaming you when their attention on games does not go as planned. Weird beliefs among gamblers? It's probably possible to make accurate forecasts on games for your colleagues, and it's free. We shared our games, which have a 50/50 probability of being explored or disregarded.

What is said by @ len1 is normal when someone wins and the news spreads to many people so they ask for a little of their winnings. And that has happened everywhere so it's up to us whether we want to give them something or buy something that can be enjoyed together.

We can tell people who ask us for predictions by saying that this is a prediction that we don't know whether we can win or not. We must explain that each bears the risk and should not blame us if the prediction is not correct. That way, they will understand the risks and try to analyze them themselves.

As long as people can accept whatever the outcome will be, I think it's okay to share predictions and maybe later in the future, we also need them and ask for their predictions too. So this can become a friendship relationship between us and them so that we can establish a relationship by sharing these predictions. But each one must know about the risks of the predictions we get from others so we won't blame him.

Gambling aims to attract more people to the casino by providing promotions. Becoming the top in the casino is not required because it is an achievement that every gambler can achieve but they don't need to achieve it if they feel it is too much. But by making predictions and then sharing them with others and being able to give winning results, that will make us one of the experienced tipsters and maybe that's what can get us into the list of top tipsters in the gambling business.

If you are engaged in an activity that requires luck for being successful, it doesn't provide you an excuse to be superstitious. I mean, you can be, it's your right, no one should be judging you for what you believe, but being superstitious can become problematic, and it surely never helps. Don't do that to yourself.

It's delusional to even think that anytime you gamble, money is expected to double, gambling doesn't work that way. When you do, you will be left disappointed and the fun of it will turn to hate. As a gambler, any money you want to use to bet should be seen as a forgone, it should be that way even if you know in mind that something can be won at the end of the day and when the game comes as expected, that's fine and if it doesn't, that is also fine, that is the fun of gambling in the first place but situation where you expect return and it doesn't, you wouldn't even think about playing the next; I think in summary, Gambling is not an investment because is only in an investment you will expect money in returm.

it is only a suggestion that strengthens the choice for betting. no one can really control how someone will win the bet or the lottery. whatever beliefs gamblers have, I believe it only strengthens their choice to place bets. it adds confidence to a person. but I'm sure a lot of what they follow ends up losing.
successful or not, luck will not come in succession to gamblers who trust any suggestions from other people.

That's sad man. I can imagine what you are going through now. Maybe you are blaming yourself for your cousin's current situation. But trust me. It was all his own doing. He went on betting without taking the necessary steps. He does not have control over his own actions. He became addicted because of his low control over himself and his emotions. You shared your knowledge, that's on your side. On his side, he can either use it in a good or bad way. Never blame yourself. If you want to help him thinking it will give you some peace, then you are more than welcome to do so. But if it's out of your control, then leave him be.
And it's human nature. As long as you are useful to someone, they will love you. The moment you turn your back on them, they will hate you. That's how this society works. Just ignore him.

Gambling will not be able to provide a multiplier for its money because it is a business that does not provide benefits to its users but to the casino owner. And if there are people who can double their money, it's just their luck and not many can get it. But as gamblers, many still try it because they often see people who manage to get big wins and feel curious and want to try it. This makes them keep returning and playing in other gambling games in the hope of getting that big win. But in the end, only a few people can get that big win. And if we don't want to lose a lot, we have to control ourselves because gambling is not a place to make money.

Each gambler has the belief that luck is on their side in every game and bet, but in reality luck doesn't always come and it is this belief that makes gamblers keep trying and betting.
Having faith is a good thing because a person can be more enthusiastic and not give up, but if belief is used in a gamble, I don't think it's the right thing because gambling gives uncertain results, so whatever the gambler's efforts when they are unlucky in the end will only end lost.
Sometimes gamblers don't care about the losses and risks of gambling when they are sure what is at stake is the right thing, it's just that the awareness that gambling requires not only belief but also luck is often ignored by most gamblers.

What I think is that there are always people in the world who believe in these things, in fact I know that bad things exist, because I have seen cases where people hurt others through these things, maybe bad energy , people who do not know how to handle some things, but these types of people are the ones who most believe that through witchcraft or commanding to do work with spirits or something like that, influence something like lotteries, chance, they are things I don't believe them, firstly because in the spiritual world what matters least is money, and then things like that, well, they shouldn't play because they can awaken bad things that become demons and things that harm the people around them. all.

Now, things when it comes to lotteries, raffles, chance, this is something that should be studied in another way, I have always said that things related to mathematics, logic, will always be associated with the best that can be done, a good analysis mathematical, statistical, sometimes even logical, but it requires a lot of study, because in every lottery there are many hours in which they are played, that is, I have seen lotteries that are played at various times in a single day, it is difficult to make statistics of the same lottery, the hours and the forecasts and statistics varied a lot and it is somewhat hard to make those calculations, if it were a single hour in the day it would be easier to predict, but since the same way is always used for all lotteries it is It's hard to do it, of course, that's what I thought, there must be many ways, through mathematical modeling, there must or can be a pattern that can be approached, although this random ingredient usually enters here, which can change anything at a given moment, Since there is nothing certain, even in the statistics books they say so, the probabilities also show it, it is difficult to do something like that or get close, there may be approximations, but the study for something exact does not exist.

That is a false belief as well that not only people have when they gamble but they hold it as well in almost any activity they perform, to this day it still surprises me that many people live their lives as if things are always going to go their way regardless of what they do, so it is obvious those people are assuming that luck will always be on their side, and this is simply not true and it is because of this we need to have all kinds of provisions in the case things do not turn as we want them and we have to overcome all kind of obstacles on our path.

Believing that luck is with them is okay as long as they also have to know that luck won't always be with them, so they only play gambling for fun and do not chase the win. But if they get too excited and don't give up, just thinking that luck is with them, they will only suffer loss and the loss will only get bigger when they lose control of themselves. But that's what happens to many gamblers so it's like a strange belief that gamblers have that they can't see the reality. If gamblers realize that what they believe in gambling will not always come true, they will always be careful when playing gambling and not recklessly use their money. It is better for them to play it safe than to lose much money to gamble.

Beliefs, antics, and things like that does not really attract luck. I just don't believe in that, but I don't deny that I've been doing it before more often than now as I just realized that It has zero effect on your bets. However, it would somehow make you calm and composed all throughout the gambling process and that help you get rid of reckless betting when you're upset and frustrated. These beliefs are similar to one the religious people that believed in their Gods, where in times of troubles they will just look up and pray, do their antics and that keep them calm to avoid breakdown. Though beliefs and antics don't magically work, but will definitely help you mentally and emotionally stable while gambling.

It's basically nothing more than superstition to think that you lose your bets if you share them with others, you should have enough confidence in your research and analysis and know that even if you share it with someone or not, you are going to win, and if you lose even after doing a lot of research and analysis, it simply means that you were unlucky and it wasn't only because you have shared the bet with someone else and they were unlucky and made you lose as well.

So someone who has a mindset like this should basically keep their bets to themselves and shouldn't share them, and then they should see if they keep winning or not. Your wins and losses are totally dependent on your luck and the knowledge and experience that you have about a particular sport.

Even if the activity requires luck, some of us are still superstitious. For example, when we watch a sport game, we can see that a player prays first or do other things/gestures. Some of it may not be familiar to us but they do that because they think it helps them to win and reach their current position.

If being superstitious can cause us to be problematic then we won't do that again or we will move on to other superstitious belief that has less draw backs. Being problematic can mean that we will be disappointed because we don't win but even without a superstitious belief, losing is still possible and we still can get disappointed. If we can't handle it then it's better to just stop doing the activity.

I think we need to ask ourselves what does it really mean to be superstitious? As per the actual definition, being superstitious means "believing in and acting upon supernatural or irrational beliefs, often without any empirical evidence or logical reasoning". Therefore, based on this, we can conclude that all of us who gamble and "believe" in luck are somewhat superstitious. We decide to gamble, hoping that we will be lucky and win, even though we know very well that this is illogical thinking and that the odds are not in our favor. How else to explain it if it is not superstition?  :D

Totally superstitious and there's no such thing about having that kind of disruption of your winning on the time that you would be able to share it up with others whether intentionally or via accident and basing up on the situation on which OP had mentioned or been told then it is really just that too over reactive for someone who dont tend to share out about his bets into other people or simply copying it just because they do really believe on such thing which its not really that true or right after all.We do know that gambling is really talking about chances and odds on a random manner and no matter how well you do make out analysis on certain bets or sports which it doesnt really ensure that you would really be winning whether you would be sharing it or would really be taking on your own.

Well, its our own business and its our own full rights on what are the things that we do believe and what we dont.There are really just that those people who are really that being too mindful or in concern on things which they do really believe.This is why it might look out that absurd but it would be just that better if we do leave and respect on what are the things that they do believe or having in mind. As long they arent really that affecting people around or do make out some acts which arent that good then it should be fine. We do have own approaches and insights in everything and lets just respect on what it is so that we would be able to avoid
some conflicts and chaos in between.

Having the believe that their prediction is actually going to be correct is what almost keeps every gambler playing and no one actually feels that they might enquire a loss in their prediction but the sad truth is that loses is a must and every one who gambles must be prepared and ready for this because loses must come and we must treat it with care so that we don't end up having too much believe that winning is a must and in all making you chase over your losesm

Maybe it was a parimutuel pool, so the guy didn't want people to bet on the same outcomes as him to avoid lowering final odds. People often do this kind of thing for horse racing because they are usually using parimutuel system, so they are often reluctant to share their conviction.

One of the weirdest beliefs among gamblers to me is the fact that most of them think that the harder they stake bets the more chances of winning which I think doesn't work that way.
Another belief that I find too weird is the fact that some of them predicts the result of games and still possess the confidence that the result is gonna match their prediction

If you think that's weird then try this out, most gamblers believe in the backward theory meaning that after Staking or placing a bet they start thinking negatively towards the game with the hope and logic thats backwards psychology will help their prediction to be accurate and this believe comes after when the gambler must have experienced lots of losses from actually having positive taught of his game from the onset of things.

lol I don't really understand how you found this hard to believe. People are fucking weird, and they do all sorts of odd things, and being superstitious about their gambling habits is really far from one of the more outrageous things that people tend to do.

Personally for me, I would be annoyed at some random person asking about my bets. It really isn't anyone's business, so just out of privacy concerns I'd probably tell them to buzz off too. 

Maybe it is superstition or it can also be true because some people are still superstitious in gambling and we cannot force them to change it. In conducting research and analysis, we can only find out which team can win without knowing the truth because the reality will only happen after they have played. And regardless of whether we want to share that prediction with others or keep it for us, it depends on each person.

Want to keep it for yourself or share it, that's not a problem because other people certainly don't bother to keep asking you about it. And if you really don't want to share it with them, they will leave you and try to ask other friends. And our win or loss indeed depends on the results of our analysis and luck.

Bro, I totally agree with your post that gambling is not about making money - it's about fun and challenge. However, I have some tips for you on how to really profit and win at gambling if you want.

To increase your chances of winning bets in gambling, it is important to focus on improving your playing skills instead of relying solely on luck. Plus, it is very important to avoid reckless gambling and instead create opportunities for yourself to come out on top in every game.

Gambling scammers often find success, but only if they have the finesse to disguise their tactics. so cheating can make you profitable in gambling. However, if you are caught, you will be exiled by your opponents and forbid you from returning to the casino. Your sneaky skills need to be top notch to avoid such an outcome.

You have to be cunning if you want to profit from gambling. It is important not only to rely on your skills, but also to constantly look for vulnerabilities to exploit in the system. Every method has its drawbacks, no matter how perfect they may seem.

Sharing them with others may be a disadvantage when you are playing with people in makeshift casino, this is where the hustlers are who are organized to cheat in cahoots with the people watching from around the poker table.

Most of the superstitions are from the guys coming from countries with shaman culture. People from Africa or from mysterious Asia do have some lucky charms like jade stones or simply a bracelet given by their nana.

This type of image is often seen in many sports where a player prays to his lord so that he can win. I wouldn't call it superstition. Because everyone knows that if creator is kind to someone then he can fulfill his dreams. Since praying to God for anything is a personal matter. I never look down on such faith. But beyond this, many people go through various superstitions to win in gambling. I think those superstitions have no basis.

Beliefs will always be here for some bettors, so just accept and respect whatever belief someone has.
Each of us has our own faith, no matter what you have, respect is the main thing to approach on this matter.
I think this kind of mentality won't be totally avoided when it comes to betting because we have our own cultures,
our own beliefs, so we have some sort of feeling that we need to do before placing our bets, even if it doesn't affect the outcome of our bets.
So long you are not harming anyone, you can practice whatever belief you have on your bets. Much better if you are discreet about it so no one will comment or contradict your way of betting.

With how outrageous people can be, being superstitious in gambling is the least thing I'll ever worry about. There are people offering literally all sorts of weird and crazy things to whatever god they worship to just to win something. With that said, I still wouldn't let other people see my bets. I don't want to be on the receiving end of blame if they even copied my bets.

People are indeed crazy no doubt, I mean they can do and believe all sort of nasty stuffs just to feel the urgency of satisfaction. I have said it before that some gambler even go as far as wishing their bet to be loss thinking it would turn out the opposite of their wish although when you come to look at the overall gambling experience from different people you will then know that most of these gamblers have been really frustrated to actually start thinking all this weird stuffs .

Improving skills is the way to win gambling, but don't forget that we also can't always win in the bets we place, so we can only make better analysis. And to prevent big losses, we can reduce the amount of money for the bet so that our loss won't be too big if we lose. This is important because many of us still place big money bets and believe in the analysis we make or get. But the reality is that many matches don't go according to our predictions, which causes us to lose.

But our cheating can only be successful sometimes because the casino or the opponent will be suspicious and examine us in more detail. And if they find out that we are cheating, maybe we will be banned from gambling at the casino and no one will want to gamble with us because they are afraid that we will cheat again. But thanks for the tips and suggestions.

It often happens that they can conspire to make us lose the bet after we place the bet. And if we don't know that, we must think that it's because we're unlucky but that's not what happened.

While it is superstition to us, it is not superstition to them. They feel more confident doing superstitious things so they stick with it. And it is a common thing to do in those countries where gambling is still associated with superstitious things. But sharing predictions with other people might not impact our bets because they are just predictions.

No doubt, everything they need to have they will believe even if it sounds and looks crazy.

Yeah, I was like that before too if I am thinking and wishing to win then the opposite happens. So, what if I wish to think the opposite of winning which is losing and from there maybe I'll start to win but regardless of what I choose at the end losing is inevitable and I just have to control myself whenever I have got enough wins already.

Talking about playing sneaky or cheating in gambling, I honestly immediately wondered in my mind how to do it? Moreover, it is done in an online casino, is there a kind of hack or something else? I never thought about it before, because even if we can do it, I think the casino will first know and detect that we are cheating in their game, and as a result it can have an impact on permanent account suspension.

The ability to analyze can only be done in certain gambling, like sportsbets for example, and for games like slots I don't think it works.

Praying before a match is a different thing entirely. It can give additional strength to the athlete and he/she can perform better then. It's because in sports your ability to win depends a lot on your emotional state. But praying or something before playing a game totally based on luck is stupid, to say the least.

I think sneaky or cheating in gambling is when the gambler is broke the rule or maximize something that isn't allowed. Even you're know there's a fixed match and bet in the option that has biggest odds in order to maximize your winning, it's a cheating for the casino's side.

Usually they have a rule to not participate in group betting etc, that's what the fixed match is.

thank you again bro... without ruling out that indeed victory does not come all the time but we can create opportunities to win at any time after we know and understand the tricks to win it but this is for certain types of gambling and betting games while slot gambling has no special tricks is to win the game and rely entirely on luck. and if someone says there are special tricks in slot gambling, in my opinion, that's all a lie. because in slot gambling those who play carelessly can win and those who play seriously and use tricks can lose.


And if you get caught and are not allowed to return to the casino that is the consequence when you cheat. and this also shows that your ability to disguise the fraud you are committing is not yet proficient. There is always a high risk to get a big profit.


In online casinos it is very difficult to find loopholes to be able to commit fraud because the security system is quite tight and you cannot play with friends so you cannot commit collusion. But if for example you are smart enough you can outsmart it by hacking security in online casinos. And when there is an account suspension as a result of the hacking attempt that you did, it is the consequence for the gambling adventurer.

Our beliefs shoudn't be called weird because people don't understand them, we're all free to have superstition that we follow and if those superstition aren't causing a harm to others we're free to believe them as much as we want beside not everyone is comfortable sharing.

When you share you bet and it gets copied by other gamblers and it up been wrong, you'll be blamed and some gamblers don't want to be blamed that's why they don't like sharing their bets and not because of any superstition but they're using that to cover up the main reason.

Some gamblers are always too quick to put the blame on others and not ready to take the responsibility of their losses and when you share your bet just give them the opportunity they needed to have someone to blame when they lose, it's always better to avoid this situations.

I think it's more about either hacking, finding a loop, or even using others as well. There are a few methods but all of them are known and I think it is going to be something that would be simple to recognize and thats why there are a lot of people who end up getting caught and they come here to complain. They keep talking about how they were right to get their money but then it is proven by the casinos that they just cheated and that turns out to be the issue.

I think it's quite important to realize that we can't do anything cheeky and end up seeing any love from the casino. If you are not following the rules then you are not going to end up with anything good and the casino will eventually catch you and take all your money.

I also don't know how. It looks like there's a bug they're exploiting to win or something and I don't think about it either. I don't think it will be easy to cheat the casino because after all, the casino will know what we are doing. And if we get caught, the casino may ban us from coming back to the place, let alone gambling. It will hurt us.

That's why, if you want to have a chance to win, you can try betting on sports betting but you have to have good analysis so you can find the team.

It might work for sports betting, but we must remember that we can't win every day because the situations in every match can also change. But for luck-based gambling games, we will find it difficult to win, even if we try it every day it also won't be able to provide more opportunities. We might experience more losses that we won't even notice. So we can choose the gambling game we want so that we can be comfortable playing gambling and the important thing is that we are not fixated on getting a win. We are just trying to enjoy gambling that's all.

That's why we don't need to cheat when we play gambling in casinos. But even so, there must be people who want to try to cheat because they see an opportunity to cheat. But it's true that we have to know the consequences after committing that cheating and finally getting caught by the casino. Casinos also definitely won't let us return to playing at their casinos. They will probably blacklist us and spread them throughout the casino network so we can't play at any casino.

That is true for most reputable and casinos who have a lot of budget.There was a case here which I don't remember the thread that some guy had found a bug in a slot provider,they didn't say which slot provider but I can say it quite confidently that most likely it has been Bgaming as this provider had the most hacks and loopholes compared to most other providers.To make a long story short some guy withdrew a huge amount and some other guy told them that he had found a loophole and wanted a bounty for finding this bug which he never got and most Bgaming slots were put into maintenance mode.The casino where it happened is not one with a huge budget.

My point is that loopholes will always be found but it is the duty of the provider and the casino to conduct regular maintenance checks to avoid such situations.

I agree that these strange beliefs of gamblers lead them to more losses because gambling has both positive and negative aspects. No one can predict the future with certainty besides, gamblers have a role to play they are now betting more on the market strengthening. Gamblers are seen to be so optimistic about the market. Betting comes before us in different forms at different times but we have to proceed considering the loss side. Whether any gambling product is good or bad depends on how the user is using it.

Yes.. this is where we need to distinguish between the types of games in gambling, which are luck-based gambling games and which are gambling games that require the use of skills and knowledge. Don't let us spend time analyzing the game and deepen our abilities even though the game is based on luck and vice versa we carelessly make bets even though the gambling game must be analyzed first to get the win.

Everyone wants to play fair but over time when they lose too many times there are several possibilities that will happen; First, they evaluate and improve the quality of play. Second, they decide to leave gambling because they think all of this is futile and provides absolutely no benefits. Third, it can make them fraudulent players so they can benefit from gambling.

Well honestly I totally agree with you. A gambler must be able to see what he will bet on, and for sports betting itself it does not 100% require luck but on the other hand we also create luck that comes by doing some analysis first about one of the clubs we choose to then bet on it, with this they will be able to increase their chances of winning. And then for other gambling such as slot machines or other similar it really requires pure luck in it, whatever you do like doing it with some strategies or patterns that you have honestly in my opinion it will not have any influence, it will not guarantee your victory in the end, because gambling like that purely relies on luck alone and nothing more than that. So look first about what kind of gambling you are going to do, if you have the opportunity to increase your luck then do it.


That's right, and that's why most of them are stuck there because they often lose a lot and some even do it with some cheating. It's nothing but because it's hard to get lucky in it, and also I think maybe most of them will continue to chase the victory until they are at the worst point in gambling. In my opinion, it seems that few then evaluate to improve their game, when someone is controlled by lust then they will not be able to think normally, only victory will be able to treat it but it is difficult to get. And the choice is two, first they will continue to pursue victory and the second they stop doing it for the reason as you mentioned that they consider all this futile.

It's really unfair if they will resort to cheating, but I guess we can no longer control that and that's entirely up to their moral if they will continue to do such to attain their goal to win and bring home the prize, or just don't do it. Sometimes, player just really needs to sort things out like their strategy and timing of bets and plays to improve their chances of winning. It's a combination of assessing their plays and having luck combined. It could work so long as they will be determined to find a way that suits their gameplay. Meanwhile, it's not futile if they decide to just quit because the moment they don't see it as something useful or adding value to their life, it's justifiable.

Referring to the title of this thread, the problem of belief is a phenomenon that is familiar to me personally. In Asia, there are various cultures and beliefs that are adhered to. no exception, when involved with gambling. I personally, have no problem with beliefs that are called strange by some gamblers who think more intelligently and modernly.
But believe me, even we will never understand something that someone does with his gambling that involves strange beliefs in gambling. but certainly, they exist and as long as it becomes a principle for them, or is part of the culture. everything is legal, even they have the right to express what they believe  like what we do, which puts forward something that is more realistic and logical. but in fact, those who believe in superstition have never opposed the modern style of gambling.

As I said at the beginning, in Asia there are many cultures that some people believe can be involved with gambling, especially regarding the lottery. they will try some methods, tricks, methods, which involve the beliefs we call superstitions. but anyway, it all depends on how we interpret it. if we don't believe it, just let them do as they want to do. most importantly, no one is disturbed and harmed. I personally am more realistic, especially when talking about football betting. research and analysis, is a part that I believe in when it comes to betting.

Even in today's time, we see it in boxing matches where they wear necklaces. For some, it may be weird but for them, it's not weird they just respect what others are doing. Pacquiao for example wears the Christian rosary beads in his early career after some time he had that necklace with a cross to which he also bow down in the corner before fighting. The Mexicans also do this afaik.

Khabib the MMA champ has a fur hat for a lucky charm and it seems very lucky, he retired without loss.

If we are not smart enough some people are ready to take every possible advantage in our slerckness and use them against us in gambling, there are smart guys around, with varieties of manipulating skills that can be used to deceives us and chance us from an opportunity especially when it comes to wining a bet in gambling, there are gamblers left with no choice or hope for winning and are ready to ensure you both are in the same boat about to capsize.

That is not new anymore to me mate. A lot of gamblers I know are greedy and even selfish that even their bets are carefully kept and never shared because just like what you said, the luck will gone out if it’s been disclosed to a lot of bettors. That’s the reason why most of these gamblers are secretly losing too and only announce their bets if ever they won, but most of the time, losing is inevitable.

I believe gambling is very unpredictable. That’s why I don’t believe any of this superstition. If you lose, it’s possible that you don’t hit the winning bet, not only because that you don’t have the luck that time.

Gambling is unpredictably rewarding, with both earnings and losses. Luck is another thing that fueled up our profits process, with luck achieving enormous earnings is guaranteed. Running out of luck suggests that massive losses are on the path. We gamble and make good money, but when the losses arrive, we scowl. Gamblers developed certain bad characteristics that would cause them not to bet, but some are constantly eager and impatient to push the gambling button, believing that they will have a great aspiration of gaining, which will result in losses at the end of the day.

Many are the gamblers will not share the real bet to their friends and selfish for getting the money from gambling.Only few are the legit people with unique all together opinion and share some ideology to their friends.They are like the win together type gambler.Gambler should work like a team and help at the bad situation of others.Some people think,their luck will move to other on sharing some ideas.But it's not the true one,it's like the convective ideology from some old ideology gamblers.Some people with some experience will not share the loss to his less experienced gambler because they see this like a shame to them.

Indeed. The result of the game won't be determined by the number of people who bet with the same prediction. It is quite funny that there are people who think in that way, I never have friends that refuse others to have the same prediction. But we always remind the people who want to follow the same prediction that don't blame us if the prediction will go wrong.  :D

Sure, it is just superstitious belief, it has nothing to do with the result of the game.

Agree. Gambling is always unpredictable, no exact way to determine the result. That's why we can it as luck-based game. Although there are skilled-based games, but we can't deny that the luck will also have a role in that games. Moreover, it is betting, we all know that the luck is the most factor to determine the result.

Yes, we've seen those things but most of the time it is really just been neglected or ignored out but we do know that those things does have that kind of significant meaning for them on which they would really be that believing that it is something that would really be their lucky charm on winning up a fight. Lets not make out some those negative insights and comments on what other people been believing whether it would really be that something realistic or not but its their choice and something that they would really be believing on. It is really just normal that people would be having that kind of consideration specially if they have noticed up something like on the time that they do fight or on the time that they do deal up with something which would really be needing up whether a loss or a win. Gamblers behavior does have that kind of never ending kind of approach on things on which they would really be that believing into something that they do look for it to be that relevant.

I don't believe in that, but I respect those who believe in them.
The result of the game is usually based only, or most of the time, on chance (luck or bad luck)... so, realize that there is a very large "space" for people to believe that there is something supernatural/mystical that can influence this result.

For those who believe, it's very difficult to explain this to other people... And for those who don't, could you prove that in fact there isn't something beyond what we can see influencing the outcome of the game? That's why I respect anyone who believes that.

That is if he or she is surrounded by some people whom his friends that are also gambling like him, but if it's the opposite? Where his friends doesn't gamble that much or don't even gamble then sharing it will just be a waste of time because they don't even like gambling or they don't know that you're gambling because they doesn't have to know as well, I mean it's no secret but for me I don't really share my gambling activities. Sharing something like an ideology or techniques is only applicable if you have some friends who does the same thing with you and of course, it's much more enjoyable if you win together and know that bets doesn't have any certainties therefore there will be no blaming afterwards.

I think many gamblers have belief in certain things, and in my opinion it's just a suggestion to believe that when you do something it will ruin the bet or vice versa. There are many beliefs that are even more strange, such as believing that you will win if you bet with a certain coin, you will win if you only make a deposit according to what you believe, if it is more or less then you will lose, and there are definitely things that are even weirder.
Haven't we ever read news about lottery winners who always put the same number three times and win it three times also? I think that also includes the belief that only those numbers will be able to give him a win. Source (https://nypost.com/2023/04/20/man-wins-lottery-for-third-time-in-a-year-using-same-numbers/)
I occasionally share my predictions, and I don't think it affects anything like making me win or vice versa because it's just a myth, and I am not a person who believes in such things.

You are right; it is like telling a kid that you are gambling and this is your strategy, which they can't understand. Mostly in your friends, it is good to share good things that gambling happened to you, like saying you've won this amount of money and somewhat use it to buy stuff. Just a little info to share to continue the fun that your friends are having, but don't dive into more details on it because either they can't relate or they will be critiquing you because of your activities.

but what OP trying to ask is about that belief of taking it to nothing in which for me is stupid because if you are going to win no matter what number combination is that ? you will still win depend on how Luck will gives you.
i find it stupid for those people that still has belief in gambling but until now a loser and never gain best for how many years even.

Yes, that's why we have to find a gambling game that suits us because the advice given by other people might not suit us. And by looking for gambling games, we can know the types of gambling games we are looking for so we only play gambling in the games we like. This will also allow us to find out how much luck we have in playing gambling. And if it is a skill-based gambling game that matches our skills, our chances of winning will probably be greater than if we play a luck-based gambling game.

For the first time, they will keep playing but may not evaluate and improve. As for the second scenario, maybe they really left gambling forever because it didn't give them good results because they couldn't win. And third, there may be people who cheat to profit from gambling. And for the third time, they will be caught by the casino and get punished by the casino.

I believe it, friend, what you said is really happening at this time, they are enjoying what they play in gambling, even though they continue to experience defeat when gambling, but I was very surprised and got statements from several sources related to gambling, regarding settings that have been set by gambling sites around the world whether online or offline and later the player will be given a win in playing only once and will be given continuous defeat without the players realizing it, whether it's true or not I got this information from some outside media, at least we can avoid sites like that even though there will always be defeats in gambling, it's true what you conveyed in this discussion and everyone has their own portion and only plays for what's appropriate.

They can blame you all they want, but it's their own fault and no one else's that they lost heir bet. You can share about your working out and someone can follow you and break their leg in the gym. So, who's to blame? Or should we stop sharing our experiences only because some unfortunate people might hurt themselves following us? I don't think so.

I beg to differ as gamblers are basically addicts who have a tendency to lie. In regards to their downfall as an addict they would find another lie to reason their downfall. I have been comparing gambling addicts with alcohol addicts ans you would find the same behaviour. To an extent that these two addiction are more so similar with their addiction habit. They both hide their addiction, they hide themselves when they are satisfying their addiction. The steal money and they would kill anyone to satisfy themselves. Getting addicted is so bad that they even destroy their families reputation and the bond that holds the family together.

Gambling becomes addictive when its use becomes compulsive and out of control, because the brain system has been exposed to stimulating gambling. in my neighborhood a lot of people are already addicted to gambling, which has led to the superstition of placing high hopes on slots or gambling. and it is very difficult to awaken people who are addicted to gambling to the point that they have lost great wealth to the point where they have nothing. although I am a gambler not as bad as things that are self-defeating

This is the dark and worst side of being a gambling addict. It's hard to acknowledge these, but it's the truth. Most often, those who are addicted to their vices do the vilest things just to satisfy and fulfill their desire. Moral compass is no longer on the table for them the moment they want to achieve something. It's harsh, but it's the reality. When these people no longer prioritize their needs and no longer cares about their surroundings, things will get chaotic even more for them and for the people around them.

Hence, medical intervention is needed in order to combat gambling addiction. If there would be no proper move to resolve it, it will just worsen and God knows what will happen next. Self-destruction is one thing, and perhaps they can go low as you mentioned like destroying their loved ones lives or doing illegal stuff just to be able to gamble.

Even very serious people are subject to superstition. These are not necessarily gamblers. For some reason, we all want to believe in higher forces that control everything around us, and we are only insignificant and small. That's why we enter into all sorts of rituals, as the author of the topic described, for example. There are many Serbian professions where people are also subject to superstitions, for example, my friend the train driver does not play at the casino, but he is very superstitious and he has certain rituals. I think every person will never refuse to believe that he can influence his fate. That's why when the dice roll on the chair, even atheists will pray.

You reminded me a great joke which is from a country near Serbia in the Balkans,in there they say when the plane is crashing down even atheists will become avid believers and that shows how small we are compared to the world we live in.In this context everyone has their own superstitions but in gambling and among gamblers we will see a lot of them,we even see in F1 the drivers kissing their car for good luck so all sort of superstitions in all kind of different people.I think this is not beneficial though,we should know that we control our fate when we don't roll the dice or go to the casino as this way we avoid losing money as a sure thing compared to rituals of superstition that supposedly can help us win money.

Follow what you want to do. Not all people blame the one that give them inspiration to do the bet but yeah it can have some effect on the people who shares their bet especially if they get some negative feedback. I would probably won't care about people who suffered losses because I shared my bet, I didn't obliged them to follow my bets and if they lose, surely I lose to.

Gamblers are on the right mind to do what they want and it is their responsibility for their bets, at least they should make their own research to convince themselves. There are gamblers who just blame people because it is their coping mechanism and it's bad.

You are correct, of course, when it comes to the negative consequences of gambling addiction. This beast has the ability to devour lives. But let's not delude ourselves: vices have always been a part of the human experience, have they not? Every civilisation has its share of diversion and intoxicants.

Ethics compass? Come on, it has always been pliable. Today's "moral" might not be tomorrow's. Like everyone else, gamblers are simply creatures of evolution, with a natural desire for gain. And if they go beyond bounds? That's just the character of humanity reflected in that.

medical assistance? It is, indeed, a patch. The true problem, though, is innate in us. Regarding the statement "God knows what will happen next," history has repeatedly demonstrated that mankind is its own worst enemy. Thus, rather than blaming gamblers alone, examine society as a whole.

Every business, including gambling sites, is in it for profit. Do you honestly believe these sites would function if every Tom, Dick, and Harry came out winning?

Now, the idea that sites give players one win and then continuous losses is a captivating conspiracy theory, but where's the concrete proof? You trust "some outside media" like they're the holy grail of truth? Cute.

Let's be honest: Gambling has always been a risky venture, and yes, while some sites might be more honest than others, the notion of a vast global conspiracy is a tad too Hollywood for me. Play responsibly, and don't play at all if you can't handle the heat.

Yes, if they gamble and they lose that is not your responsibility nor your accountability. Every gambler I think has their own belief and their own thing about this thing , some have their myths some have their own lucky charms . But the thing is they just need to enjoy the game nothing else, they dont need to follow other people's tips and tricks or other people advices.

I know that football players have a lot of strange and funny rituals. And there is nothing surprising in this, because if you are trained, and a lot depends only on luck, then you will definitely perform a couple of rituals, because a lot of money and sports victories are at stake.
Did you know that Antoine Griezmann loves Spongebob cartoon?
Therefore, in important matches, he wears underpants with the image of this cartoon character. And it seems to have worked, he showed himself to be the top scorer at Euro 2016. It's hard not to believe in such rituals after this.

Lol, this may appear or come out to be funny, but sincerely speaking, how do you attribute the phrase "enjoy the game" to people who bet on such games with lucky charms, or by one myth or the other? Isn't it obvious enough that such people are not after the excitement In the game, but much more (particularly) interested in how they can make money off the games?

Anyways, honestly and seriously speaking now, not everyone betting on game are doing so out of excitement or fun, we still have many people who are in sports solely for money, and some of this people most of the time go the extra miles just to be able to predict the outcome of matches correctly, even if it means doing diabolical stuffs.

It's a totally different thing if a casino is not loyal to its customers and has rigged its games or settings so that the players win some money initially and then lose continuously, and this is the reason why it is not recommended to use unknown or not very famous platforms since the chances of them manipulating the outcomes are high, but when you gamble with a platform that is trusted and has a good reputation among the community, you will be safe.

However, if you are gambling on a trusted and reputable platform and you still experience things like that and you feel like it's happening all the time, then I would simply say that you are just being superstitious and nothing else because the outcomes of gambling are only based on luck.

In my opinion, not everyone who plays gambling is superstitious. Superstitions are often even used in things like medicine. If the person is playing gambling in a superstitious way, in my opinion this is something very stupid and a waste of time. Of course this will also be detrimental to ourselves because in gambling we cannot predict when we will win or lose.

That's right, and it happens because they are too ambitious and put great faith in gambling, and also they assume that winning in gambling is easy but they have to admit that getting a win is very difficult, why do they assume that winning is easy to achieve? it's because before most likely they have won that they themselves do not believe that they have won, even though they did not do anything significant but the victory came by itself. This means that it is very clear that gambling is only about luck that will answer all the results in the end, there is no way that can increase their chances of winning except to reduce the rate of defeat by doing some self-control. Previously I also said that gambling runs under the subconscious of people, they are too happy to do it until they unconsciously lose their mind and all they want is to continue gambling to pursue victory like in the past. Therefore, I hope you don't put too much ambition in gambling, keep thinking of gambling only as an act of fun and leisure, because if we take it too seriously, it is likely that it will be like what you said here that they will experience superstition with too high hopes of winning.

Yes, but all the same, there will always be such people who believe in various external forces, talismans and other nonsense. And no one can convince them of this. Superstitions in medicine can do more harm to human health than in gambling. Although in some small cases in medicine it is possible to cure some psychological diseases through self-hypnosis. Including gambling addiction.

This is why it's important to set boundaries so you won't get swayed and eventually be lost in the process of gambling. If you are lucky enough to experience several wins, be contented and do not aim for more especially if you know it to yourself that you don't have what it takes - the skills, information, and luck needed in order to win. Because clearly, being so hopeful can bring you down as well. If you won't stop being ambitious and greedy, you'll likely taste losses first hand.

Yes, not everyone, let alone people in big cities, most of those who still believe in superstition are usually village people who used to gamble on the lottery, they usually get lottery numbers to bet on psychics or something like that, this has been going on for a long time, even today it is still there are those who still use something superstitious in gambling and that is really out of sync with modern technology today and still use techniques like that.

Some people might still use it for sports betting too, even though technologically we can use AI technology to analyze and predict the strength of each team even if we are lazy to do research we can use that technology, but people think it's easier to use superstitious methods a powerful way even though it would definitely be a waste of time and in vain.

Gambling superstitions are different from sacrificing things that already exist and end up being lost, but if superstitions of other things might be better, big hopes change a different fate. hope that fate will change in the world of gambling, only a few percent of bookies have power, the hope of wanting to win every day is impossible.

It is normal that we may still see such superstitious people and we cannot change them to let go of superstitions. It was their belief that nothing could influence them to leave.

But sometimes, there are superstitious things that many people can't accept, but in reality, it can happen in some areas. I don't know how it could happen but it really did. But I don't know, I also don't know superstitious things like that. But I've heard of people going to certain places or talking to a medium to ask for her help in winning something. As for the result, I also don't know because I don't know the story.

Well, feeling like one lacks the skill, information or luck needed to win all depends on what the gambler is playing, for those playing slot or casino games, they need non of those you mentioned aside luck, luck is the major driving factor when it comes gambling, even in sports betting, the knowledge, the skill,, the information might be there, but then, the gambler still need some little amount of luck to win, no luck means no win, and this is why some illucious gamblers, who believe in charms or other superstitious stuff go extra miles to acquire powers that will supposedly make sure they are always in good luck, and whether this stuff actually works, I can't tell, only those who have tried it can tell if it works or not.

Superstition isn't always related with psychological disease, I think almost everyone have such believe because it's related to experience, people always remember something based on their experience. That's why when someone carry a weird stuff, I'm not really surprised because when you ask them about that weird stuff, they can explain how the stuff can give a luck to them in the past.

But don't be surprised if they will avoid and keep a safe distance from you from knowing what their bets are because that's also one of their beliefs where they strongly believe that it will contradict to their bets and get unlucky if they share their prediction which will lead them to more losses. I guess you don't want to get blamed for that :D  
So, let's just respect them for that because that's their life to begin with and nothing will make them change mainly if they are already accustomed to it.

Out of curiosity what country are you from and what games are your neighbors addicted to?
When you talk about your neighbors, you mean those you are in charge of their households (the adults) or do you mean people who is relatively young and are supposed to be at school?

I ask because I have always had the theory that people living in far-away places and towns where there is relatively high poverty, are more prone to become addicted to all sorts of gambling as an escape to their bitter reality. It is something I have witnessed myself in my home town during a very difficult period of time when there was not much food and money.

Thanks in advance !

Do we really need to go over this again because discussing on the role of luck vs skills and games dependence have always been misconceptions on the games that need luck or skills,  I understand that some games only need luck to win them such as dice but more also,  majority of other gambling games require some form of skills to win them and in doing so one also need to rely on luck to be able to make the right decision and taking the right stride at each hit. Take sports, for example, you need to have the skills to analyse the teams and thereafter you need luck in your game selection to win since football games are highly unpredictable.

If you beg to differ, then I will say that you are wrong, first for generalizing gamblers as potential addict, I gamble too and I lost some money today, I have stream Netflix and I have forgotten I lost money today and for today lost, that's all till next week, and I will only play if there is a good match for me to pick, I play and don't expect anything even the ones I do have high hope of making good result; if it fail, I move on. There arw gamblers who are also like me and we are not addict, just play and have fun of it and cashout the days it's favours us.

Alcoholic person is one of the most transparent people you will ever meet, they will spew everything including all their problems to you and wouldn't find a reason to lie because when you drink farment drinks, you become sober and find people to talk to especially when you have much on your head that you think about, gamblers are quite different people and not like gamblers.

because of the feeling of hoping for a big win to make a deposit without calculations that makes people lose control, of course these are people who are already married. and up to divorce cases to suicide because of being in big debt because of playing slots. I, as a neighbor, say that family solutions are the main need, not gambling slots are the main thing. but the advice is useless for people who are already addicted.

As a gambler then it would really be that impossible that you cant really be able to distinguish in between luck based and strategic ones on which we know that there are certain types on which of games on which we could
really be able to deal with on using up that strategic approach which you could really be able to increase up your winning chance if you have done it well or you do really have that experience on doing so comparing on dealing with pure luck based games on which we arent that dumb not to notice that it would really be requiring that luck factor for us to be successful on winning. This is why its always been that ideal that you shouldn't really make yourself that desperate when it comes to this kind of approach on things about pushing yourself on winning despite of the huge risks and odds that would really be going against you.It all matters with being lucky
on speaking about gambling which we should really instill into your minds.

Sure, if there is a gambler who follows our bet, it is not our responsibility when it end up with a lose. As long as we don't invite them, they can't blame us. Everyone gambles with their own intention and with their own responsibility. It is strange if someone blames us because he gets a lose by following us. He mustn't gamble if he doesn't want to lose.  ;D

Indeed. Any gambler can have their own belief. But it is untrue if a gambler blames other people because of the wrong belief. Wins or lose won't depend on the belief, it is all about the luck. So, every gambler can trust their own belief but never try to blame others. I really hate the gamblers who blame other with nonsense reasons.

Yes, the main purpose is to get entertainment, don't forget to have fun. We must trust our own way in gambling, we don't need to follow other gamblers' ways. No guarantee that those tips/tricks will work with us. Since it is mostly luck-based games, we must believe our own luck laying on our own way.

In general, the world is full of inexplicable and strange phenomena that we, even being atheists and skeptics, cannot explain. For example, hypnosis, which introduces people into special states, or, for example, the techniques of Shaolin monks who stand on one finger or do not feel pain. But this has a direct relation to the superstitions through which people introduce themselves into special states. Or as if they protect themselves in this way, through actions, symbols and rituals. Therefore, I will not undertake to deny that all this does not make sense, statistics know many cases when false superstitions helped people in their affairs, including gambling.

Yes, superstitions are not always related to mental illness because beliefs, suggestions and also one's experience can make superstitions more real and are believed by most people to be able to have luck or victory.
Many things like that happen anywhere and in several countries, even the majority of gamblers still really believe in help from superstitious or mystical things, although some also don't care or don't believe in it.
For example, when someone has a dream or sees a strange discrepancy, they immediately link it to get a lottery number, which ensures that this is a form of symbol or a natural code to be able to get luck or win.
It's no wonder that we find some gamblers doing crazy actions to be able to get help with their belief in superstitious or mystical things.

That's how it is when it comes to luck in gambling, in some bets maybe our skills will be needed to make an analysis and then increase our chances of winning, such as in sports betting, but that doesn't mean it will be separated from all luck.
I will give an example during the Qatar World Cup some time ago, when Argentina faced Saudi Arabia. Who would have thought that Saudi Arabia would win the game, especially after they were 1 goal down in the first half? But that's how luck came in when Saudi Arabia managed to score 2 goals in the second half.

After all, one should not be surprised at these things and talismans among such people. They wear what is important to them. Still, this has been going on since very ancient times, so we can say that it is inherent in the very human essence. Therefore, this is still found in the information age, with the Internet and other high technologies today.

I won't even be surprised if I have some kind of talisman in the near future.  :)

And I am sure there are a few people out there who claim they knew that Saudi Arabia would turn the game around because they made such a good analysis. :P That's the downside of being incredibily lucky. It leads people to confuse skill with luck and that happens more often than one would think. Poker is a great example for that as well when someone is incredibly lucky all the time and beats everyone and then thinks it is because he is such a good poker player. Superstition is no thing I am into at all. If someone wants to copy my bets, feel free to do so. Why would I think that it could impact the outcome? :D

You are very right, I initially did not understand what you meant, or let me just say that, I understood you the other way round, and was going to disagree with you, but I had read your comment all over the second and third time to properly understand  ;D.

You are very correct, the Argentina verses Saudi Arabia game, which saudi Arabia won was as a share result of luck, no body, and I repeat, no body, not even the Saudi Arabians expected their team to win that, I personally watched the like show where the coach of the Saudi team was interviewed, he said it himself that, they were just lucky, that they never expected they will beat Argentina.

Those who bet on saudi arabia did so just incase the unexpected happens, and luckily for them, the unexpected happened, any one who said they knew saudi will turn the game around to beat argentina is just lying, and like you said, confusing luck for skill.

Superstitions are but a scaffolding for the frail human psyche! Are they necessarily a sign of mental illness? No. They’re a coping mechanism, an attempt to explain the unexplainable, just like our ancient ancestors did with thunder gods and sea monsters. You bring up gamblers; they cling to superstitions as if these beliefs are their last life vest in a sea of uncertainty. This isnt some romantic notion; its desperation masked as belief. Humans try to create patterns out of chaos because facing the idea that their success relies on mere chance is too crippling for them. Superstitions are for those who cant face the raw brutality of reality

I don't know whether it could be checked anywhere, but I guess when Argentina had the 1-0 lead that it wasn't even possible anymore to place a bet on Saudi Arabia winning the game. If it was still possible, I am sure the odds must have been around 100.

But the craziest thing about Saudi Arabia beating Argentina is not only that they won this single game, but that they had actually beaten the eventual World Cup winner. This combination makes it even more unbelievable. It shows how coincidental some outcomes can be.

And everything that's happening seems to be confounding some of the analysis. You said that those who bet on Saudi Arabia because they were on guard for the unexpected, and just on guard without any of them believing that this would happen.
Usually the people who say that they predict Saudi Arabia will win are the ones who are looking for security ahead of the match. Similarly, I have listened to interviews with some "football analysts" who have said things that do not favor Argentina, but also do not make Saudi Arabia the favorite. Then at the end they claimed that they had predicted the outcome of the match.

That is the world we are living in today there are a lot of belief systems that have left people with a lot of misconceptions and convictions that will ordinarily sound wired to others who may not have the same belief system as them and this is what has played out in ops own situations,  I have witnessed a lot of similar occurrence in physical booking house where a gambler will approach the cashier with a code he believes is a secret winning code and will not want to share the secret with other gamblers present I the casino at that time.

I don't know if this works for them anyway but I have seen the reality of some of them who most times end up losing the bets despite all those superstition bbelief ssystems andit will still fail them in most cases.

However, there are some people who have mental disorders, if they can be associated with superstitions, it's just that not all of them experience the same thing about superstitions. Talking about superstitions is something like what our ancestors did, it can indeed be said as superstition because of a belief in objects or other creatures that considered to have power like a god or considered a god who could provide good luck or other matters related to safety.

However, here we are discussing superstition in gambling, not like what our ancestors did by worshiping foreign objects or other creatures, but more about someone's belief that he can get good luck if he carries or has a mystical object or item that brings good luck.
This kind of belief has existed since ancient times but most have forgotten it, while this is one of the cultures that still exists today.

The same superstitions belong to whole nations, and hundreds of thousands of people succumb to them, because they are imposed by their parents. It turns out that there are also superstitions about casinos inherent in players of any countries: for example, such as: the "luckiest" place is the one facing the door, the unluckiest one is facing the back to the fireplace. It turns out that most players believe this and pass these superstitions on to each other. As it turns out, players do not like the presence of dogs and cats in the casino. That's probably why I've never seen them there. It is believed that because of dogs, you can quarrel, and cats can not be touched. I think this is strange, but I am sure that in countries where people are especially superstitious, these superstitions are observed more strictly.

One of the effects of gambling addiction is that it leads to unconsciousness in the mind, so that it makes some statements that seem completely unreasonable where they put excessive trust in a victory and it is just a superstition but it is strange that they can be so sure about a victory that is very unlikely to be obtained. If someone is already experiencing phases like this with an unreasonable mindset then it is very dangerous, it is likely that they will sacrifice their future just for gambling, meaning that if they continue to do or pursue victory in gambling with such high confidence then it will only make them worse from anything, especially their finances, and their future will definitely be destroyed if they don't stop all that.
Gambling is all about luck, but we can't bring superstitions to increase our chances of luck in gambling because it's just nonsense and will only be an excuse if we lose in the end.

For people who live in such an environment, it is not surprising because there are still many people who use charms and believe in superstitions to be able to win at gambling. But many people don't believe in it, especially if they don't live in that environment or come from developed countries with no belief in superstition. So they will wonder and question why they do things like that instead of just using the ways that people usually do.

We also can't blame those who still do it because maybe they still believe in these superstitious things so they won't leave it. And that's not surprising because these superstitious beliefs still exist today in some places, so if we find them, we also don't need to be surprised or surprised to see them because our cultures will all be different.

Mascots can give gamblers psychological support and reassurance, which can have a positive effect on their psychological well-being. People who believe that their talisman brings good luck are mentally healthy. I think wearing talismans for many gamblers can be a way for them to find the confidence and support they lack in their normal life.

I agree with you. As far as I know, superstitions are much like rooted in cultures and sort of a practice that we do in order to avoid bad lucks. Which, in my opinion, should not be  involved in our gambling activities. For instance, if I saw a black cat, which means bad luck in our country, does this mean that I have to not engage in any gambling related activities in that day? or if my hands are itching, which means good luck in our country, does it guarantee that I will win my bet? If this is the case, then the person might end up losing great wealth for relying on superstitious beliefs. So, I believe that superstitions and gambling should not be involved with each other. This is just my opinion, it is still up on us.

until whenever such superstitious beliefs will always be something mysterious to gamblers or in the world of gambling and it will never go away. like some people I know while sleeping in a grave to get dreams and to be used to guess the numbers that will be used to buy lottery tickets and after that its lucky that person can get the jackpot from the lottery and sometimes I think is this a coincidence or is it true that dreams give something which we cannot see.
so that habits like this or even about talismans for gambling will definitely become one of the beliefs of certain gamblers and even in a country something like this has become a tradition or belief that brings good luck.

What you have said about dreaming numbers on a lottery ticket may come as a shock to someone. He could also spin around himself 3 times and think of the first numbers that come to his mind.

And if this person is lucky, he will tell and brag to all relatives and friends. And they, in turn, to everyone else, hence such superstitions are born. I won't judge them, it's perfectly natural. Moreover, I think that belief in superstitions and talismans will always exist.

That's how humans have the nature of trust in something that cannot be seen and prove in real, including superstition and amuits that he believes can provide luck and so on, and also rituals that make no sense like that will always be there, we who have A common sense about getting a blend of numbers with such rituals will certainly laugh, but they believe that the subtle nature gives them instructions, even though it is only hallucinating itself.

I found some people who did that, some were lucky with that method and gained a big victory, well as usual they would brag and believe that they had a good method, even though they were only lucky.

it's just a coincidence, if they are asked to repeat the same thing then the guess is not necessarily correct. I think they are also pretty good at guessing and have confidence that their guess is right, well it could happen but it also might not happen. the presentation remains the same will be 50:50. meaning it's not something strange, it's normal in my opinion.

I am also thinking that it's just a coincidence or just a personal belief that no one should take and copy his bets.

Yup, it's not strange especially today when there are a lot of betting groups that are passing their leaders bet to the members. And as the members see the notification, they're going to copy what has been bet by that group owner.

So, there's no difference from the online and offline type of betting. We see people wanting to copy bets because they think that you're good in picking but you're all free to deny and reject them if you don't feel that you're going to allow them copy yours.

One thing I've observed among gamblers and especially the chronic ones is that they're always very superstitious in their beliefs about gambling. They can believe anything that'll grease their decisions in putting more effort in gambling in other to get huge winnings which are most fallacious.
Gambling in my own opinion isn't about how experienced one is but how lucky one can be b t most of them thinks that their experience and knowledge about gambling can help them in winning their stakes

I also find it funny that many people who are hooked on gambling have lots of fallacy.  They even think that pregnant women are lucky when they play card games so most of people in our community let their pregnant wife play in a card game.


It depends on what type of gambling the gambler is playing.  If it is a luck-based game then sure it is about luck but with skill-based games, experience and knowledge have a great effect on the possibility of winning for the gambler.

There are people that are very good at guessing and if we eventually bet with them, we can make big loses if we are not careful. There are some gamblers that are very good at making predictions and most time they do have a 70% win rate  which can be very profitable for them. There are some games that can even give us an 80% win rate but we can keep playing that king of game and still losing. We gamblers we need to know our ability and how far we can go as a gambler or else we might end up being a big loser without first knowing how it all started.

more correctly. hope for something that will change fate, but hope too much and believe. it will just self destruct in the end. it could be true, superstition and hope this seems to have become a culture of people who want to have great luck. there is no speculation in such a world there is only ruining the wallet

This is ridiculous indeed, and as hard as it is to believe, things like this still happens, Ive had a similar experience when I was selling in a shop with a friend of mine, when one evening around 5 pm, a mad man walked into our shop and went straight to my friend, he was the owner of the shop, the mad man gave him a piece of paper that has some numbers written on it, the mad man asked him to go play those numbers in a lotto shop nearby, my friend collected the piece of paper, when the mad man walked out, my friend threw away the piece of paper, a customer passing picked the piece of paper and went and played the numbers, and by the next day, we heard he won over a million naira(in my country's currency).

So some time, things like this are really hard to believe, but then, they do happen.

That's why we can't ask them not to believe in such superstitious things but they still can't because it's a part of their culture that they can't be separated from. Those who believe in superstitions think that what they do can sometimes give them victory because several of them have proven it. So there's nothing to keep them from using superstitious things like that as long as they still want to use them. Well, that's okay too because it's based on what they believe and of course, we don't have to think about things like that because we don't believe it ourselves.

Because some people who already believe in superstitions may have difficulty explaining it in gambling because they think that by using superstitions they will get great luck, but on the contrary if someone who does not believe in superstitions then what he will say is just nonsense.
Of course, we also cannot blame other people if we play gambling with such beliefs, because everyone has their own views on gambling and in the end everything will come back to themselves.

watching slot gambling people or games, thinking that slot patterns can control winnings is just nonsense. because I watched my friend gamble twice at different times with the same pattern, it was considered that winning ended in losing. and thinks it's the best strategy for his trust. I just stay silent with respect not to spoil the mood they do when they lose or win

Some may believe that there's something rituals to do so that they may find comfortable upon gambling. Some other don't but at the end of the day we should respect individuals belief since if that can make them gain confidence and positivity towards on the games they play then I can say all if fine then nothing wrong with those superstitious matter what other people believe. But if we look at it on scientific perspective well we can say that there's basis on what other extra activities they do and winning chances still the same.

Well there's no such strategy or pattern in slots to make you win, so if you still think like that you need to open your eyes and read about provably fair system. If there's a strategy or pattern in slots, you must be rich since you know how to beat the house and you wouldn't lose. Since you're lose by trusting your friend's pattern, you can't blame him since in the end it's your decision.

You've got a point about gamblers being superstitious, clinging to whatever beliefs make them feel like they've got an edge. But let me tell you, gambling isn't just some roll of the dice; it's not merely luck. The best poker players, for example, know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. It's about strategy, observation, and making calculated decisions

Don't underestimate the role of knowledge and experience; they're invaluable assets in gambling just like they are in the business world. While luck plays a role, sure, saying it's all about luck oversimplifies the skill sets involved. Gamblers, chronic or not, who rely solely on luck? They're the ones who end up penniless

I'm talking about a friend of mine who superstitiously believes in pattern strategy and ends up losing. of course no bookies want to lose to gambling members who always win. in terms of playing gambling calculations that often occur minus, that too is different for each person big or small number of people who often play gambling

yes, I believe for sports betting, cockfighting and other similar types of gambling, a 50:50 ratio of defeats and wins in this bet we only need to improve our analytical skills and also absorb information.

But I believe there are several types of gambling games that rely solely on luck, such as slots. I never use any special pattern to play it and it is totally depend on luck. In this game I only control the amount of bets and spending so I don't cross the line.

a lot of people do things like that, but whether it's a coincidence or how I don't know..? but many people do just that.
but what made me wonder, instead of people rushing to help people who had an accident, what they did was they were competing to record numbers.

I would agree with the member you quoted (I didn't feel like including all that text in my reply) if he'd written "problem gambler" instead of making a statement about gamblers in general.  It's the same thing as a problem drinker possibly being a true alcoholic--it all depends on how prone a person is to addictive behaviors and how far he/she continues the problematic behavior.

Not all gamblers are addicts or even have a problem with gambling.  But man, I've met alcoholics and serious gambling addicts and they are very similar in how they think when they're in their active addiction--and the devastation a gambling problem can wreak is no joke.  People can and do lose everything.

I understand what you mean, and it seems like what was said before was not in that game. Allow me to give an opinion on this, experience and knowledge for analysis are needed in some types of betting, for example sportsbet, but for other games such as slot games for example it can be said to depend on luck completely. Maybe some people will play on slot games that have a high RTP, but does it work? not everyone succeeds by applying it and again luck plays a role in it.
Unlike the case with sportsbet, we can definitely see which club is most likely to win, it can be seen from the strength of the two parties who will compete, but that is also still the influence of luck.

it was just a coincidence that made his friend lucky. even though some people believe in such things, but still in the game there will be winners and losers.
and the numbers only give suggestions and belief in someone. I'm sure if there was a similar incident and his friend repeated that kind of thing he wouldn't have the same luck either.
something like that will only foster someone's obsession with winning.

Yes, we can predetermine the probability of winning a particular club, but the probability of winning is directly related to the odds assigned by the bookmakers. Also, as we all know, fixed matches, accidents and unforeseen circumstances happen from time to time. So the results in sports betting are very dependent on luck. Of course, this can also be compensated, but then you need to understand sports very well, which is not given to each of us.

But if they have proven it then they can much believe it because it actually works for them because I know in the world today people are basically living by their belief system and if any gambler seem to have a particular believe that works for he or she then maybe the person can even share a bit because I desperately need to believe in it too because my own believe system doesn't work for me again  ;D

yep, thats right. and there is another strange belief of gamblers right in my city on a certain day there was a group of gamblers who gathered in a hidden place to do poker gambling and when I saw one of the gamblers carrying a lizard in a used drink bottle and I asked that person what was the function of bring the lizard. he replied that this lizard was lucky because the lizard had a forked tail and he said getting a lizard like that was very difficult.

and after I paused to think about how ridiculous this kind of belief was in the end the gambler could get a winning streak but unfortunately he lost again because he did not stop the bet.

really really ridiculous things like this but however true what you say until whenever this kind of thing will always be there.

The belief plays huge role in many things,it also included the gambling.Many gamblers will keep bet the small amount from their income and wait for the big win one day.It may take time,but the process is more important one.The gambler keep their gambling bet by believe the luck will favor them one day.I had a friend who had won 50k dollars from gambling after gambling for seven big years.He mayn't spend 20k dollars in this seven years,but his gift is more then twice of the spending money.It mean he had gained 150 percentage additional profit for his belief.

It really take a long time and a lot of patience before we reach what we're aiming for. Some people are even betting all their lives with the same number combination believing that they could get what they want in time. I have known someone who has been betting his birthday number combination for many years and hit the jackpot after 20 years.

We really need to be firm with our belief and trust the process though it will take a lot of patience and effort before we reach what we want and things will also rely on our luck. Sometimes, our belief and manifestations attract luck and there's nothing wrong with being too hopeful as long as we know our limitations.

Maybe with what happened to your friend we can only provide an explanation that not everything will end well with a belief, and with your silence I think it's better for you to respect his steps in gambling so as not to cause problems that will harm you. friendship, because everyone who plays gambling has a different mindset, but the goal is the same, namely to win.

The best thing fo do in this situation is to try as much as possible to avoid gamblers that have such beliefs system because with such a mindset,  he/she may never be able to make any accurate intellectual analysis of the game he is about to bet on and he may even base his games selection based on perceive dream that that will be the winning team even if it clear the team lack what it takes to win such match.

I have never seen anyone that has such belief becoming successful and winning a good amount before, All their predictions always end when I lose and still, yet they keep believing in such tasks as this.

Not sure if they really all rely on the lucky charm, when they gamble they also analyze how to play the game. One famous poker player wears his lucky charm while playing and wins. They do learn strategies. Even players who play luck-based games use a strategy to win.

What I can believe that only his lucky charm made him win is if the player wins a bag with the only money he has in his pocket and is ready to go home when he loses. Like a man who bet in a parlay with just $10.

We're opportune to know how easy it is make money online from gambling, which is tender risky but some of us still go ahead and take the bold step. Every day, we keep repeating the same amount of energy, but winning will undoubtedly cause us to increase our gambling standards and continue to record increased earnings as well as losses. The majority of gambler continue to bet on games because they have a complete goal of winning someday. We cast our wagers and wait for the outcome, which can be profit or loss, which is simple to comprehend. Everyone has different perspectives regarding the system.

Yes, they won't be able to explain it in gambling, let alone to other people who are curious why they use methods like that because it certainly won't make sense to those who accept the explanation. Those superstitious things will still exist and be used by people who are used to them even though we don't understand whether they can provide a greater chance of winning. But for them, it can increase their confidence in gambling.

That is their belief that we cannot blame them because when they first started gambling, they used methods like that. And it could be that they got it from their family, elders who used to gamble in the past so they still wear it today.

Some of them have succeeded in proving it while others still try it and think that something is wrong when they want to place a bet so they can't win. They may be willing to share their stakes with others but they also know that not everyone who sees their bets will believe what they are doing so they won't force it on those who see it either. And if someone does win, people will try to ask again how that could be possible but it will be difficult to prove because superstitious things like that are difficult to explain rationally. We can only leave it up to them even if they are still going to use superstitious things like that. We have ways to analyze and get results that will work.

Yes, we can only leave everything to those who still believe in those superstitious things because only they know how to use them. For us, it's better for us to stick with the methods that we are used to so that we can also choose what we think can win. And we will see who can really win and lose so that later we don't have to convince others that our way is the most correct.

If someone really believes in things like that, we can't do anything and just let it go and as long as they can be responsible for themselves, it won't matter if their bet loses later. Some people may have managed to win by using such beliefs, but we don't know who it was.

      -    It's just like this: let's assume the jackpot is 1 million dollars and you are sure to win 100% with your prediction. The question is, will you tell others that you are sure your prediction is right? What is my point, then? We each have our own prediction that comes to mind; whatever it is, maybe we don't need to tell others what it is.

Because as a gambler, if your goal is to make money and hope for the winnings you will get here, there is no reason to share them with others, especially if you are sure. But if you only want to have fun and not get a prize for betting, maybe in this matter it is possible to say that it is okay to say or share it with others.

it is very true to maintain friendly respect so that it is always good, just by being silent don't comment much. because someone's pleasure if disturbed will make angry and very difficult to recover. as friends or other people, of course we have empathy for seeing friends, family being oppressed in the world of gambling. but it's not easy to awaken people who are addicted, the best position for ourselves is to just keep silent so that communication is always good

Yes you're right, sometimes situations that happen on the pitch will make a lot of difference, for example the favored club has to play with 10 men because one of their players has to get a red card and has to leave the game early, it makes the situation change. But I also won't deny that I won more bets than I lost when I bet on sportbet, but I also lost a few times due to unexpected situations.
That's if I do single bets, but it's different when I do multi bets, which is more difficult than single bets.

Unfortunately, I think that's not how it works because sometimes, if not, most instances, we have our own unique beliefs and if you don't have one then I guess you should find that yourself because in that way, you will know what will work perfectly for you and is the most suitable for you. Knowing that their specific beliefs works to them doesn't really mean that it will also work for you, that is why we should find it on our own.

everyone has their own way of carrying out their work, somehow the tricks they do to make money. and I believe that because of the tricks played by gambling, each one is hidden and not spread to anyone. dice gambling games are a mainstay for me because many people use the easiest calculations in dice games (not easy but with a mind that finds loopholes)

Well, I think that people or players want things that go beyond reality that we simply see and know, because it is something that is within their rights, we do not know if there are people who have talents or things above others can do things so that they can achieve certain goals, I don't know if people in Europe, the USA, or those countries are capable of doing things like that, but personally I think that many do have those sperstitions, or those beliefs, I don't know, but some They also put it in as religions or as things that can be seen as very legal and good, however they are cases that I don't get involved in because I respect those things and the beliefs of each person a lot, even though there are many people who seek these things to help themselves to have more luck, to look for and get more money, but I am one of those who believe that when this type of thing is done and they are charged, it is only to take away their money, for nothing else, because a person who actually has gifts, those things He does not charge them, because they are gifts, so as a person charges for doing these things, he loses that power or that gift, because he is lending himself to do things that are not in the proper order.

I have seen many people who seek witchcraft to win, and that is something that I do not accept, because apart from the fact that there are some things that are something to do, or some practices, some people invoke evil beings, demons and energies that sometimes neither they themselves can control, so in this order of ideas things should not be that way, they should do another type of practice, and I am not saying anything that they use mathematics, logic, some mathematical modeling tools to be able to arrive to previous results, and this may bring them closer to reality, but in chance, in lotteries, raffles, sports bets, these things do not influence, because they do not make any kind of sense, just imagine that games of chance are handled and manipulated through witchcraft would be unheard of and unlikely.

Everyone with there own opinion about betting and some with contrary views. Gambling has it own rules and some persons do think that we they share there bets with others , it could reduce there chances of loses which might be true. We all have different dogma and how we see things and if it's not proper, we can ask questions which could enlighten us about the necessary thing we need to know about what other people think about luck when it comes to gambling.

Yes I've seen people like that a few times, but I've also never seen someone like that really always succeed in their game. If someone is successful with a belief system like that, it is certain that he will eventually end up using that belief and its methods to become a fraud.
I feel that it actually looks and sounds like something that is ridiculous and makes no sense at all, but I see that sometimes it actually makes them win a game and adds to the confidence of a gambler to play.
I am not someone who believes too much in superstitions and charms to be able to win a gambling game. But I still respect the way and the beliefs that they do.

Those beliefs don't work in gambling and if anyone win it means that the odds and the luck are for him at that time, One of the things I don't believe in is such things as charm or incantations,  using such in gambling is no longer gamble be magic and anyone that perform such magic should be disqualified from games if discovered.

.manipulation is not part of gambling and anyone that involved in such is abusing the system and should be called to order.

I agree, playing gambling is basically a fortune that will befall someone whether they win or lose later, because playing gambling with belief in mystical things is certainly doubtful and someone who does it will most likely keep it a secret. so people don't know about it yet, if a trick like that is found then I think many people will laugh at it because in gambling what is used is a real trick not in a mystical way.
However, if someone who uses witchcraft, for example, instantly wins and she tells someone else about it, it is more likely that person will become curious and follow her lead. I think it's very difficult to blame or be disqualified from gambling.

yes maybe it's true like that, they are too obsessed with getting victory and I agree with the opinion you put forward. But it seems we have to avoid excessive obsession with winning, because otherwise this will be bad for us.

when someone is obsessed with winning they are willing to do anything to get victory like doing mythical things to get the numbers to be installed. the bad thing is when someone doesn't succeed in getting a win, what happens is he will feel excessively stressed and anxious.

There are several questions in life that cannot be answered unequivocally. So there is a bad side to such a feeling that victory is nearby. Gambler understands that he should already be lucky, because no one has canceled the probability theory, and the percentage that the desired result will come true more and more, you just need to repeat, losing money at the same time. And there is still no win. Although there should be. It looks like a donkey with a carrot tied up in front of it. And it turns out that the donkey follows forward and forward, but there is no result, although it is visible at a close distance. Therefore, it is very important to know how much money you plan to spend at a particular time, and not to cross this threshold, so as not to turn into this donkey. You need to be able to recognize that if you are unlucky now, you need to step away from the game, and not continue uncontrollably.

         -    There are also other gamblers because even if they only put a small amount of money into a casino, they believe that they can increase it by hoping that they will get lucky playing gambling, as others have read and found out. won a lot of money. Most gamblers always think this way. Even though it's not like that in reality.

This is what I have noticed, because it is especially among gambling players that they have made gambling a profession because it is said to be easy money, which in fact will also disappear quickly when bad luck strikes them.

This gambling thing is very hard to understand, no body can detect the outcome of gambling if you the lucky time isn't that time, unfortunately even we the gamblers we don't really know the lucky time untill we starts winning so those gamblers that hides their games for others to see are not even sure of their own bets, having such believe in gambling is a selfish misdemeanor and it's not good to keep, share a bet with others is totally good because the one that might get the game lost the next gambler can see it and tell you to change the option or remove it.

Hope is the only thing that gives a gambler the mind to stake a bet, if it wasn't for home people vwho don't take gambling as fun wouldn't have been gambling, moreover it can take time for a gambler who wager small amount of money on he's or her stake wins big is just like accumulating your money for it to get bigger so at a specific day which you don't have any mind for winning you can end up collecting it back by winning them.

Such stories make me smile, but on the other hand, I wouldn't want people to use forked lizards (especially keeping it in a bottle) or any living creatures in general that will bring them luck. I hope that person didn't do anything wrong with the lizard after he got unlucky. Or maybe he even let her go and stopped believing in all this (hope this result).

Over time, the tendency to use living beings for good luck will decrease, but there will always be those who will spend time looking for them. I would like people to use inanimate objects for these purposes.

obsessed with winning big is usually triggered by something that causes that thought to appear like for example someone who after seeing a streamer win big or see a friend who gets a big win so that triggers someone to do anything to get a big win like you said.

regarding the mystical things that are involved in gambling, it will still be an oddity that is out of mind, but however, sometimes when luck comes, after doing this mystical thing someone gets a big win, it will make it even more difficult for gamblers to leave gambling, they will even become greedier

I used to change slot machines once it had hit feature a few times, furthermore observed other patrons playing to see if they had a dry machine. Once the dry machine had gone on for a while, they leave and I'd jump on expecting that the roi for the feature was closer than before, giving me an edge ;D ;D

We also used this strategy when we had the opportunity to gamble in land-based casinos. Now I have the opportunity to gamble only online, so this strategy is no longer relevant. In fact, using this strategy can really increase the chances of winning, at least we managed to win several times almost immediately after the previous gambler got up from behind the slot machine.

That happens when we see a streamer win big because it will make us think that we too, can get a big win like him. We will continue to try it even using a lot of money because we believe that we can win big one day. But it's not worth doing, especially if we gamble using a lot of money, especially when we don't know when we can win.

There are still people who use mystical things like that because offline gambling can take place in offline casinos or illegal casinos where we don't know where it is. In illegal casinos, maybe we can still find people who still believe in superstitions that can give them victory. Yes, we can only smile watching them read something to get a win, and we can't say that it won't increase their winning chances.

It will likely give you that specific result if you're too obsessed with winning that you as the gambler already forget the possibilities whenever you are in the middle of gambling, loses are normal and that is something that we cannot do to prevent it because it's inevitable. You can have some wins along the way because that is also a part of your chances but it will be too much if you're only hoping for the positive without even having some troubles in the process and that's just impossible which will lead is to an unwanted road.

It is a real strategy funny enough. Perhaps in the online slots, you'd find the highest RTP game and play it till feature, change games then play till feature again and swap

Don't take my word it though, gamble responsibly! :)

the same as my country uses a lot of magic practices asking for help from demons. those who use magic are very private, and I think it's natural because of the lust factor of someone who wants big money. Remember, on the other hand, Satan sometimes can't always give victory, or it can be the other way around. but behind the agreement with the devil has a big risk.

I think people (gamblers) are too serious in the matter of strategy, they strongly believe that it will increase their chances of winning, but I would ask is it true? honestly I don't really believe in the various strategies they use to play gambling, I've tried it several times but still it has absolutely no effect and all will return to the basic concept of gambling which is just about luck. And also for the RTP itself, well I am one of the gamblers who always pay attention to the RTP percentage before playing, if the RTP is high then I will enter the game and vice versa. But I say don't trust RTP too much, because it's not uncommon for casinos to keep fraud there, I mean not always when RTP has a high percentage then the spin will also be good, it could be just a trick from the casino itself and I experienced it. So the bottom line for RTP is that some are accurate and some are not. But in my opinion don't rely too much on anything, gamble with the feeling you have because it's just about luck.

Take "economic equilibrium," when supply matches demand. Despite being a fundamental economic concept, economies rarely reach equilibrium. No gambling method, no matter how developed, guarantees a win. RTP is like economics' 'perceived value'. Even low-value goods are often sold at greater prices. Why? Because of their apparent value. Casinos may be using high RTP percentages to attract players with higher rewards.

And yeah, if I had a $1 for every time I tried to use strategy alone during poker nights, I might have halved ,y debt! So, my buddy, balance strategy with gut feeling and gamble properly.

Do you know how many times it happens that we see a high RTP game but as soon as we enter and start playing that game, we start to lose that game?

In my gambling experience, I have come to the conclusion that no strategy, or trick works with accuracy. Some tricks may work for some gamblers for a limited time but then it is not because of the trick that they are winning the games but it is only the luck which is making them win.

I believe that only in betting or poker (well, or in any card game) you can try to make the result victorious by adhering to your own strategy. You need to be an excellent mathematician, counting everything and knowing all the events.

But regarding gambling - How many times in the articles of publications I have read about the study of martingale, its analogues, as well as modified versions, but all this does not help. There is only luck here, and you will not affect the result in any way. If, according to the laws of mathematics, a unit should fall out in roulette, for example, then your only chance to predict it is to know that a unit has not fallen out for a long time, there is no other way.

That's why I like card games more than roulette slots, etc.

Paying for magic and demons to win favor with the chances of winning a game is not one Ive heard of before but I know people in general can believe themselves favored or not so it figures for a game also.
   The game running dry on a slot machine and jumping on is the old tactic of a barman I used to watch regularly take advantage of his long hours alongside a slot machine at a pool table hall.   It worked for him I think, sometimes he could double his days take home pay just collecting the money put in by clients who left.   Slots is a difficult one especially modern games because its not really fixed in its behaviour, my take there is 3 cycles of win/loss macro to micro ongoing to keep track of; everyone wants the big win of course and thats over a whole day cycle at least.

That's how it is in gambling, we see victory getting closer but difficult to achieve, so without realizing it we run far to chase losses. And this is where it's important to continue playing calmly, don't get carried away by emotions. And I always hate playing alone because I can't be completely sure if I am able to control gambling activities, therefore I always ask other people to accompany me to play in the hope that someone will enlighten me when I lose control while playing gambling.

It was a reply to my post and I too found it unfair treating all gamblers as problem gamblers. Problem gamblers constitute only a small percentage, about the same as alcoholics among those who drink alcoholic beverages. So, maybe it's not about the activity that brings you pleasure, gambling and drinking alcohol in our case, but more about self control.

We should always remember that we are humans, not some laboratory mice seeking pleasure all the time.

Well yes, these things are true when it comes to demons and things like that I kind of stray far from that, because dealing with bad things will never bring good things to the person, the people or things are always the ones who benefit bad, well, I think that sometimes they ask for things in exchange, and sometimes they have to pay with their own lives, when people mess with that kind of energy, strength, demons, it's quite old, because that shows that they need to solve their problems through things that do not belong to this world and that seems bad to me, because it is thanks to those people that demons remain out there, it grabs people who are weak in their spiritual level, people who are considered weak and are bad people, all this kind of things are the ones that have to make a pact with the devil, demons and things like that, because no matter how hard it is, the socsas don't work like that either, it's Better to use the Mathematical Tools, leave Everything to luck , I've Seen how people here use the black Magic and a journey of things that I really don't see meaning in, there are Some who call themselves Saints, because they are what they call "Santeros" and one Recognizes them because they wear white up and Down with a white cap, the truth is It seems to me that they are very stupid things , but Everyone with their Beliefs.

In this order of dides , I wonder, when people use this type of thing, do they Find it? Does all that sound good to you? if they win? Do they get the expected results? And those who work for him, what will they lose? because they pay for these things in some way, and it's not with money and with scarifications and I don't know how many other things, there are people who practice these things and use they are spirits that they call them saints, which for me are simply spirits, and there are others who do other practices that these spirits put into them and those who speak are supposed to be saints, these things Seem to me to be a very dangerous practice, but they still do them and I don't know what Benefits they have , but all this has its ugly risks , until now I have not seen Millionaire sorcerers , quite the opposite.

When we realize that it is difficult to achieve, we don't have to bother to keep trying to get it because instead of getting it, we can experience many defeats that we might not be able to afford. But it turns out that that didn't stop gamblers from continuing to try it because they felt they could still try it and would even try it with the additional money they deposited into their gambling account. Seeing this, they should be able to control themselves by immediately getting out of gambling and not continuing to play because it will be difficult to get.

And there are times when someone feels they have a clue to place a bet and try it. And it turns out he managed to win it. This kept him waiting for the clue even though someone else had told him not to wait for it because it might not come again. It's a strange belief from people that will still exist forever as long as that person still believes in it. We also can not prevent them from continuing to believe and do it.

You simply don't believe in yourself that is why you would want to go with someone to the casino and share your bet with them to get approval of the bet you want to play. It is not bad to share your game from time to time but to always do that with the way you have said it, it means you are not a regular bettor. This is unlike those who like to keep their game secret from others, those gamblers believe they have the magic game and so won't like every other person to partake from the bet. Anyway, it is just the way we feel best and anything that is best for the winning is acceptable.

You are right @Gozie51, Josu14 isn't a gambler that do take his time to study games and make research on his own, or I will say that he can't be comfortable gambling alone since he feels that he needs other people to make him do better in gambling or controlling his gambling activities. When you have a sure bet that you have used from previous results and some skills to get your predictions,you wouldn't even want to share that bet with anyone. I have even seen someone that collected a game from his friend to bet on,refused someone else from betting with the same predictions.

Superstitious beliefs were found everywhere. Gambling isn't an exception, because at some point they could've won out of some calculation. In reality those were just coincidence, and the winning person's mentality defines it according to the way he had understood. Most of the time gamblers look for specific place and dress code, colour of the dress while gambling and this is little different from the regular way of thinking.

Gambling was consider as the luck based game,but it had a capacity to win the gamblers who made the correct calculation for the particular game.The most of the time the winner may get to know by using their own tactics for the game.Some times the gamblers use the same dress code on all the game,So their opinion was the dress alone giving them the good luck in the game.Mostly this type of gamblers will wear the lucky ring at every game.The ring or clothes was based on the every players,Some gamblers won’t trust in this things.So their will be some hot arguments between this two types of gamblers.But wearing their lucky rings is the own wish of that gambler.

Tactics could work to some extent, beyond that tactics never give hands. This is why gambling is said luck based winning thing and not of the skill based one.as in the previous post some believe on colour and other factors to bring win and gets stuck to it. Even the lucky win is connected with the superstition, which is not the right thought.

I agree, in reality, there's no such thing as increasing our odds in winning if we have some beliefs or superstition that are followed. It's just a mere coincidence that made the people think that those kind of beliefs, whatever they are, are working on them and so they start doing it for the purpose that their chances are much higher.

The good thing is, these things aren't banned because it's already personal to the gambler. And as long as things are working fine for them and they aren't messing with the other players because of the said fact then the casino or any other platforms won't stand against it.

These are only superstition believes that you will lose or win a bet if you wear certain colour clothes. Also the belief of the gambler mentioned in the OP, also reflects the same as he was unwilling to tell his predictions to other gamblers.

Although these things have no link with the outcome of the match but still people have experienced win and loses based on these observations and they become stirct to it and believe that they will follow them and get a win.

Better we should not follow these superstitious therioes and know the facts and reality of gambling.

I'd say, anything that is best for our entertainment is acceptable, including sharing our bets or following others' bets. Because we cant know what is best for our winning. If we knew that, we would be millionaires, right? If you find it entertaining to keep your bets in secret, do it then. No one should judge you, it's your right. But if seriously, it won't help you to win more. Daniel Negreanu openly shares how he's playing, and it doesn't make him to win less.

Because after all, superstition will be part of some gamblers, and we cannot judge it as something wrong. They will still hold it very firmly and will never want to let it go.

This superstitious theory will probably exist forever, but it also depends on the gambler. In the future, when no one wants to believe in superstitious things, that could be when superstitions will no longer be used.

We'd better let those who believe in superstition continue to use it because they still like it. And we also stick to what we use even though sometimes we wonder how much confidence they have in using these superstitious things.

I don't believe this to be true as he might not be telling the truth, why would someone carry someone to the casino just to show the person your game. Is the person he carried some kind of expert for him to look for his validation before he'll be confident of his game pick.

I hate it when someone sees the game I picked, I don't have some belief that my game will go bad if someone sees my game but I just like to keep them to myself Incase the game doesn't go as planned I don't have someone mocking me as that what I hate more than loses.

If I play a game and I lost, I can take the disappointment but when someone else knows about the loss, I always feel like they'll tell others and that makes me uncomfortable. I would rather gamble online on my mobile phone than follow someone to casino to play games.

And that will just mean that we're only in for the money and not the package that should comes with it if we play and bet on our own because if we're only gambling to follow other people's bets then where's the fun in that? That's not an entertainment to me anymore as it will just be a boring one as you have already put your fate in other people's hand without going through the struggle and fun in obtaining the data needed to provide a possible outcome.

If it is RNG certified by a known provider I don't think you would have to worry too much about "Fraud" even though it may feel like that is the case when you're literally never hitting those features.  But you are right - it is all mainly simply luck and there are days when you hit and days when you don't, only when you decide to cash out do you truly realise your profits, the same as in any stock or crypto.

I absolutely agree with you. If we manage to predict the outcome it makes us feel good, and that's why we are making our predictions. The money we win with the right prediction is not big, because if you don't want to risk big amounts, you never win big amounts either. It can be something around $10, not a life changing amount, but it's a day changing amount for sure. You feel good that day and that's what counts. Indeed, as you said,  "if you follow other people's bets then where's the fun in that?".

A lot of people aim to make money - hence following people's bets has even become a business where people sell betting tips on sports. On a side note - I agree with you on the point of gambling the amount that would brighten your day and not cause a sharp pain upon loss. That to me is what I would define as "recreational" gambling.

Gamblers have all sorts of superstitions. And worse they refuse to agree that it is a superstition when it is pointed out to them or even change it. They are the incorrigible sets of persons on the planet. Show them a glaring evidence or try to persuade them to change their view point and they'll immediately pick an offense.

Telling someone what you staked and them making the same bet isn't going to change the outcome. It is just like me betting that we'd there is going to be a storm and someone else placed the same bet as I did on the weather. This isn't going to change the outcome of what the weather would be...that it why it is a prediction.

If I know the gambler, there is no problem if I tell him my prediction. But even if any of us here are gamblers, if they don't know each other, they won't tell a stranger among us either. But there are other times that we see from other gamblers that when he always wins, it's good to be with him because he's lucky. I experienced that here in our area, where no matter what his prediction is, he always hits. You know what he wants, so to speak. If I depend on my prediction, I always lose, but with him, I see that he always wins, so it's good to be with him when that happens, and where he bets, I will also bet.

That's right and it's best if they don't gamble because we won't have fun. Maybe they can find out other people's choices, but that is just information and they still conduct their own analysis to find their choices or compare the data they have so they know which one to choose. And if they really don't know which one to choose but know other people's choices, it comes down to their decision. But at least they know the risks they will get. But it seems that if someone else follows someone's choice, he probably won't place too big a bet, especially if he doesn't know the other person well. He may feel worried because he only follows other people's choices and not because of his own analysis.

It will be weird if some random stranger will give you a prediction out of nowhere and tells you to follow his lead. Personally if this will happen to me, I will find it out of place because everyone is entitled to their personal space and not everyone is extroverted to have a conversation and acknowledge an unsolicited opinion from a stanger regarding a bet. Foremost, we don't know each other so why will I trust you. Second, there's a chance that you the fellow player is not interested himself. Lastly, we should really just tell our predictions to those who are close to us to avoid being labeled as creep or feeling close.

I don't know why some people cannot just be independent in their way of gambling, that each time they are going to the casinos they have to go together with their friends, though it's not something bad to always have a company of friends gambling together but it will get to a stage we may want to have some privacy about our livestyle in gambling when we would have also consider the influence we get through this friends we have.

If it is a friend then yeah, maybe you will share your bets, but I will assume as per the OP's post that the one asking to copy someone's bet is not even related or the person didn't know him. that's why he refused his bets to be copied.

As for going with friends in casinos, I also don't like to go solo, I go with friends, it makes gambling fun and even if you win, for sure you have the right to give some to your friends or not. If you want privacy then you should go online and at the comfort of your living room, just saying. Playing at landbase is more entertainment if you bring some relatives and close friends with you.

A normal reaction i should say on which even myself if im on the feet of OP when someone do sees your bet slip and asking out to copy then i wont really be that confident to agree since you dont know each other.
Im not really that a kind of person on whose really that easily go mingle on someone who i dont know so i could say that it is really just that a normal reaction which you would definitely refuse or reject of such request
and not on the sense that your bet might be that affected or your luck because there's no solid proof that sharing up bets could alter out bet results.Its not written on the stars on which you could really be making yourself that confident.For some then it wont really be an issue on letting others see your bet slip because they do believe that if your lucky then you win but if not then you lose as simple as that.

Each one of us does have that kind of belief whether you do get from other person or you are making your own one and there's nothing wrong with that because it would really be that common
that imagination or thinking would really go into those extents that we might be saying that it is already non sense.  :D

Well, we all have different preferences when it comes to betting. Some of us prefer to gamble with our friends to make the experience more fun and exciting while others prefer doing it solo in the comfort of our homes. It all depends on a gambler's personality but of course, even if we choose to play with our friends, we should still know how to put control and limitations in all that we do.
If we aren't comfortable sharing our strategy or gambling style then it is our right to keep it.
I personally like going solo wherein I can gamble alone and focus on what I want without the influence of other's decisions. We all know that when we're with out friends, temptations to bet more could possibly happen.

I saw them selling, but never saw someone's buying. Did you? Or, maybe you bought a sports betting tip yourself once? How it went? And yes, I'm all for the recreational gambling. You can turn your a job into fun, but don't turn fun into job.

Anyway, fearing of sharing your bets with others is weird indeed. It has something to do with superstitions, I think.

Gamblers like that that doesn't take the admonition not even from those fellow gamblers close to them as friends they're usually a hard nut to crack, and if they eventually falling into addiction it's very hard for them to accept and retrace their steps even when they are heavily bearing the cost of their addictive attitude. I can't deal with such people so I learn to stay away from them that I don't get use to being offensive all of the time we meet.

Except for ignorance I don't think a gambler would be scared or refusing to share his predictions with another gambler. If we win we win together likewise if we lose we lose together it has nothing to do with a twist of fate affecting the outcome of predictions. So it's just a behavior  fed by ignorance.

It may not be a superstition but a requirement for that person.  If they received a tip or some involvement with the players in a match what events will take place, any inside info as to who is sick or missing from that game then he has no choice.   Its quite sensible to protect your sources if you should have any.   
  I'm not arguing with anyone who could say this to me, they cant explain themselves and I dont want the trouble for them or myself.

If you have a leak of some sort, it's really crucial to contain the information to yourself and to not publicize nor share it to anyone else because the insider might lose his job or might be compromised in return of doing a favor for you. I really do not condone this act, but it's happening regardless so I'm just here to advice. It will be a messy situation and it will be a big disappointment to the person who trusted you to be as your source just so you could have the higher chance of winning on your bet if the identity will be disclosed.

Additionally, you aren't really sure if the source is saying a true information unless you verify it yourself so spreading and sharing it might even harm other folks for receiving a fake news.

Even though we think like that, their response may be different from what we think. They may not like sharing their predictions with other people because they think it could reduce their luck, even though each person's luck is clearly different. They must try to understand that even though they share predictions with other people, it doesn't mean that other people will win because they might win together and can celebrate together. But we also can't force them to share their predictions with us. If they object, we just leave them with their predictions and us with our predictions. Let's see who can be luckier and win the match.

It's obviously a superstition that a lot of people have. They believe that they will lose a certain bet if they share it with someone else who is unlucky, and when they don't share their bets, they manage to win. It might have happened once or twice in their life coincidentally and now they think that it is actually something. Some people have utterly foolish superstitions about gambling and you start getting annoyed when you see or hear about them.

A lot of people believe that they win in gambling during a certain hour within the day and they also believe that this certain hour works better on a specific day within the week, and I find that stupid because your luck doesn't have a time and gambling is completely based on one's luck.

The wield believe among gamblers is that despite the times you've gambled and failed,you will definitely win one day.They say winners don't quit,while quitters never win.This motivation has kept them going,believing that in as much as they don't quit,they will come out smiling some day.I personally used to have this believe,and this is the only thing that makes me continue betting and gambling despite the fact that I'm losing often.I know if I strategies well,do the right thing,I will definitely win big someday. Some gamblers also believe they can earn a living through gambling,but it doesn't make sense to me,because gambling is something no one is supposed to rely on.

You can't blame other gamblers who play gambling either. I remembered that before I gambled, during those times I always lost, and then the person next to me who also gambled always won. He rarely loses, which is the opposite of me, who always loses when he bets.

So what I did was, because I could see that he always hit even when he bet, I imitated where he bet, and after that, I gradually recovered my loss, as if that day I said I could only recover my loss because I hated it, and before I hated gambling, I grew even more because that day the person I was following who bet was really lucky.

Probably yes, to protect himself as well and we can't blame that gambler, and with that if we have received some inside information and tips, for me we shouldn't shared to the gambling public.

Just bet on it and then go home and see if it hits or not. If you won then good for you, no need for others to hear what you have heard of. It's enough for you to win that game and enjoy it and don't try to explain it to others as well.

I think it goes back to each gambler, if indeed they always want to be accompanied by several friends to go to the casino it is not a problem, because maybe he really wants to have fun there with many friends, gambling while laughing maybe that's the goal in order to relieve fatigue from some defeats maybe. Some of them always want to keep their activities private and some of them are so dense with their friends that they are always together wherever they go, maybe like that. And well what you experienced I also really experienced it haha, on the other hand it is not wrong if we go to the casino with some friends and play together, but what makes us a little annoyed is when our friends always win but we always lose, it is very annoying with some ridicule from our friends because of our defeat there.

Maybe it's a pretty good way to recover your losses by copying what your friends do there, if it's useful and effective then go ahead. But other than that, I wouldn't trust your friend's method too much, I wouldn't fully and clearly say that there you also got lucky friends who have managed to recover your defeat slowly, I think you are really lucky.

Lots of sports gamblers share their picks and discuss why one team will win and the other will lose. ?Just look at the sports threads in the forum, like the UFC prediction where they share screenshots of their bets. I help a bettor decide which to put their money on.

I think it's true that basketball players themselves also have some belief that they bring their luck charms while playing the game and win. It gives them the motivation or at least they believe they'll win when they have those jewelry with them.

Yes, we can't blame the gambler for not sharing his bet with us. But if he wants to share it and says his bet is to only share it with us and not share it with other people, we have to really look after it because it is a matter of the trust he has given us.

And I agree that we can place a bet and just see the results. If we win, it is our luck, but if we lose, it is our defeat and we should not regret it. It's enough for us to know about it and don't tell other people because maybe it could trigger problems with other people.

There many weird beliefs that most gamblers does share but the one I find most weird among all their belief that revealing their bets to a third party before the end of the games they staked in will likely stop them from winning the revealed bet hence the decision to always keep it to themselves. They superstitiously believe that if they should reveal their bets to another person, the bad luck that follows that particular person is gonna stop them a possibility of winning such bets and that I find too weird

I think this is a really weird belief that many people in the world have. In my country they did a test where they would ask lottery gamblers for their numbers and they were all secretive about it, probably only 1 out of 10 people was willing to share his numbers openly. Even more interesting, they started to offer money for their lottery tickets, like 2-3 times the value of the ticket. And still the people where not willing to give away their number. This is a very irrational behaviour, because the people could just buy a new lottery ticket with the same numbers. The only real explanation was that the people didn't want to share their winnings if they really win the jackpot. But with such a small chance of winning the jackpot I would always take save money if it was offered to me. Another thing is that I don't have fixed money when it comes to lottery, I always choose random. Being superstitious is not a good idea when it comes to gambling in my opinion. Starting to believe in pattern that are not there can make lead to be big losses and we should try to stay as rational as possible instead.

In a maths view perhaps with a lottery it could make sense to collect numbers.   On the basis of knowing which number combinations remain unused will increase the payout.   Like anything if your reward goes up for the same money risked, this is a better rate of return a superior yield.   Anytime you can do a bit of maths, deploy some statistics and probability to earn a few extra bucks its worth doing.
   Ideally a computer would manage all this, just going person to person is not feasible by itself but maths 'genius' have deployed such ideas in the past to a profit, unbelievable but true :)

Yes, it's a very dangerous situation when following your superstitious beliefs you win coincidentally and then you believe in that crap even stronger. It's better for you to lose all the time than this.


I don't want to support superstitions, but I think it's important to note that there is a big difference between superstitious gamblers and superstitious athletes. The former are just dumb. Since the outcome of the game does not depend on their mood in any way, it doesn't matter how they feel. With athletes, on the other hand, their mood is important. So, if they believe, even wrongly, that something might help them win, it can improve their spirits and indeed help them win.

Math can really be a great edge when it comes to playing and betting. It could be useful when you are analyzing the outcomes of a game and making a prediction. You can take advantage of your knowledge for your benefit. Although this will likely workout if you will do it for games that relies on calculation and data rather than being more on luck-based. Statistics and probability come hand-in-hand so math will really be your friend. Discipline will be your friend once you utilize your skills, talent, and knowledge so you won't fall into addiction.

I think a lot of that is just mumbo jumbo but a lot of people have some odd superstitions about gambling. I think one of the most well known one is that rubbing a rabbits foot for good luck, or wearing the same shirt every game day, doing the same routine in the exact same way every time or else they think they will lose the game etc etc. I don't think any of these things make a difference personally but to each their own. You have to do what helps you and makes you feel good about your risky behaviors!!! In a way I would say it is a coping mechanism because there is high stakes and lots of anxieties when one gambles.

It's really funny how people would want to believe that such thing as bad luck resulting from some other person staking on your prediction will cause you to loose your predictions. I see it as great superstition rather it's even a person with a bad luck that ends up benefiting from your lucky picks. The game picks are usually made with the bookies so I don't see how some other person's bad luck can change that.

It's better to state clearly that you are not cool with sharing your predictions than excusing yourself with the fact that the person's ill luck may cause your prediction to be a looser, how about punters on X (formerly Twitter) who share their games every now and they and still they win and their followers aswell also win and everybody is cool without been affected by the luck superstition.

Personally I don't share all of my predictions, there are those which I feel very comfortable sharing and there are those I don't, and for that which I don't it's not because I feel anyone's bad luck will affect my prediction but just for personal reasons as they may be high risk games which if I share and it turns out a loss I may be blamed for sharing such predictions so I rather keep it to myself but some other day I do share

The old believe of the gambling is the gambling will ruin the entire asset of the King,but it’s not the true in the modern days.Actually the gambling had a chance of the normal people to live like the king after the big win from the gambling sites.The money is the ultimate one in the modern days,personally money will get from the gambling make you live like a king.The gambler should not addicted to the gambling after the big win from the gambling sites,if they get addicted to the gambling will leads to big loss.So the gambler can play the game without get addicted to the gambling.So he don’t loss huge by the addiction in the gambling.

Luck does play a big part in gambling results, wins or losses. For some people, they feel more comfortable in casino games and they play certain games which they know are lucky for them. Some people may gamble on only certain sports as they believe that they usually win when they gamble on football or whatever sports that they feel luck favours them.

These are all beliefs for the gamblers and there is no logic behind it. These beliefs just give them mental satisfaction and nothing else.

But you do realize that it's all in their mind, right? Games are not shoes, there's no such thing as more suited or less suited games for anyone.


Satisfaction in the case of winning. But they can't win all the time, even when "they feel luck favours them". What they can do is forget about their loss right away, and keep remembering only their wins. To be honest I see nothing wrong with that as long as it makes them happy and they don't risk more that they can afford to lose.

No I don't think they just place a bet on a certain sport because they feel lucky on this certain sport over anything relating to gambling and it is not a belief either. They choose to gamble to that specific sport because they know how it works and they know things generally and so that gives them a confidence in placing their bets. It isn't just about the luck when you do a sports betting, it is about analysis. You can't put a bet on an underdog who's chances of winning against another team is so little to non, just because you feel like luck is favoring you. If are doing that, I guarantee you the outcome will not gonna give you a mental satisfaction lol.

Perhaps it was because that those are the sports that they are good at and so obviously they are going to bet on it and not play like slots or roulette or whatever games that they are not familiar with. So maybe there is small chances of luck on sports betting, but still we need to analyze games and maybe we have grown to watch this games and really good at it.

I'm not really sure about mental satisfaction though, I mean it's more of feeling good that you win in sports betting and your analysis is spot on, specially if you think that the underdog are going to win and so you bet on them and just wait for the outcome and everything that you have predicted were true. So it's all about winning and how big you won.

Many people have or carry a rabbit's foot for good luck and it is a popular superstition. And maybe many people still believe in superstition because in some countries, it is still commonly used when they gamble. They believe in these superstitious things and use them to be lucky and win the game. Maybe bringing up these superstitious things can increase their confidence in gambling so that they still use it today. But people in modern countries don't believe it at all and say it is complete nonsense and has nothing to do with winning at gambling. It depends on each gambler because they will do these things if they feel comfortable.

You actually do have a point. Individuals are drawn to what they are knowledgeable about and skilled at. Isn't that just human nature? One would naturally feel more at ease placing bets on a sport they have grown up watching, studying, and comprehending the subtleties of. With a sport you know so well, why take a chance on the wild world of slots or roulette? Playing to your skills, comfort, and knowledge are the three main considerations

Speaking of that mental fulfillment now. Without a doubt, winning is fantastic. However, isn't there a very fulfilling aspect to witnessing your analysis materialize? Particularly after you've backed the underdog instead of the favorite? Isn't it more than just a financial matter? It all comes down to feeling validated and correct. I would like to ask you, though: Is the happiness found in the magnitude of the victory or in the prediction's accuracy? For you, what really matters more?

I think these gamblers can control them very easily and this is the biggest belief among them that responsible gamblers are not limited to one place. They know about all forms of gambling betting requires confidence but too much confidence leads to losses which is psychologically dangerous. Sports bettors can evaluate their performance more easily using units than other bettors but no one can guarantee exact win as luck is involved here. It is also very difficult to fight their urge to gamble and when the prospect of gambling comes the temptation usually wins over their will.

Talking about sports betting, they are not things that depend on luck, they depend on the level of knowledge that people can have about a certain game, you can test this to see if sports betting really depends on luck or skills, do the following: choose boxing fights, bet on all fighters from that event, then bet on the ufc and also bet on all fights from the ufc event, then bet on the main football leagues: premier league, la liga, bundesliga and serie A.

After you bet on these sports, watch how you did putting money into all the games and ask yourself: which of the games were you able to get the most information about before the game and that you put money into and won, then you will start to realize that you will be betting on games you don't like, you don't know anything about its rules, you don't know who the favorites are and why they are favorites, you don't know where to get information about the games, and it's something that's not worth it, so you won't bet anymore in games where you don't know anything about them.

and you will start betting on games where you find it easier to have all the data about the games, you like the games, you watch the games and when you do analysis you can get it right. Sports betting has nothing to do with luck, this is the first thing a person should get out of their head, sports betting does not depend on luck, it depends on each person's skills, and this is something that anyone can test. So I hope you don't waste your money betting on games relying on luck. Don't bet on things you don't like and don't know anything about.

The only thing I will gree on about the superstitious attitudes, actions or routine is that it only builds up their moral giving them confidence to gamble with a settled mind. Anything out of that is an abracadabra because it doesn't mean that when they perform those rituals don't ever lose their games' of course they do, so if those superstitious acts were really effective they are supposed to have worked all of the time but rather at random that's therefore clarifies it that it's just their lucky day's when they win and not by virtue of some rituals done. In my part of the country I see some gamblers walking barefoot into the casino shop regularly believing it increases their luck and chances of winning and such behavior irks me all of time seeing those sets of gamblers behaving so.

Of course because betting on sports where you don't know the basics of the sport will only give you the risk of losing and who wants to bet on sports they don't know about.
Firstly if you bet on sport that you know or like it can make happy because there are favorites there and also make it easier to make predictions or do research so that what you bet on can produce satisfactory results so that your confidence in winning the bet will increase.

But luck is not about belief in particular sport and remember that no one can bring luck on purpose for betting.
Meanwhile confidence can be very useful for every bet and when gamblers have great confidence then they do not hesitate in making decisions even though they have little regret when they fail because what they believed did not match expectations.

Every gambler is gambling from his believe. Someone may have that belief born from a superstition, from someone or gambler's suggestion or from his own analysis. Which is a common occurrence. I have seen some gamblers who believe in superstitions and they give it a high priority. If they are hindered by that belief in their betting then they give up betting for that day. Even if it is their superstition, we have nothing to say because they will be gambling with their own money. I have also seen them win a few bets but they don't always win. Those gamblers still have faith in superstition. But the bottom line is that no matter how a gambler gambles, at the end of the day he must rely on luck.

Sports betting is typically seen as a game of luck. You're right; its much more. Knowledge, research, and passion. Its like knowing your favorite soccer team's strengths, weaknesses, and strategy.

However, its simple to overdo it. We may debate talent vs. luck all day, but prudent gambling is crucial. Set a limit and follow it. Until then, its fun and games.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket." This applies especially to betting. Why risk what you dont know? Focus on your strengths, learn more, and have fun. Anybody notice how most betting advertising make it look glamorous and exciting? That always seemed misleading, didnt you?

If it can give gamblers confidence, they will keep doing it forever because with increased confidence, they will believe that they can win. We will never be able to change the beliefs of those who use such methods simply because we do not do what they do. Maybe they know what they are doing is futile but they believe that they cannot abandon it. So when we see superstition-related things and don't believe in them, we can leave it at that and don't need to say anything to them because they probably won't accept what we say. Maybe they will be angry with us for saying something about what they are used to doing.

Not that they should abandon it but my  irritatiion  about these rituals done by gamblers at gambling places is that why not do it at home while you move down to the gambling house with that same confidence; must it be done at the gambling house in the presence of other gamblers before it works or does the confidence that comes with their rituals has an expiration time!  Not everyone gets comfortable seeing certain behaviours been excercised in by fellow gamblers in the gambling house and if an individual complains about it then they are right to because it's a public space and people ought to consider others reaction and peace while they expect theirs to be considered.

Yes, it really happens and with that case, we should be responsible not to disclose that bet since it can also put the source at risk, especially if the one you have shared your bet has this attitude to blame others for their losses. Also, I don’t think we owe other people to share our bets to them, we all have our own analysis on the game, and what might work for us might not be working for them, so I think privacy should still be given emphasis, rather than completely sharing what we believe is a winning bet.

Maybe they have done other rituals at home, which they have to do when they want to go to the casino or while gambling so that luck can come to them. We also don't know whether it can really help them win but they are sure it will give them a chance to win. The one who should reprimand them is the casino as business owner so that they won't feel uncomfortable. The business owner must always remind its users to respect other guests. We as fellow gamblers, also can't do anything because we are guests at the casino.

And they are right about that. :) You always have a chance to win as long as you are betting. Everyone, regardless of the rituals performed. I personally wouldn't mind if it were happening somewhere around. It would make the atmosphere more exciting, in my opinion. Especially when people win and think it happened because of the rituals. They are so genuinely happy it's amazing.

Yes, anyone has a chance to win and talking about beliefs or rituals among gamblers is not strange, at least we respect other people's beliefs with the rituals they believe in, because in all places there are people like that so it doesn't seem like a strange thing, so why do you have to look at it like a joke, after all it doesn't harm anyone, the point is that what you say is true, that just seeing them win with their belief already looks fun.

Never disturb anyone in an offline casino just because they have beliefs or seem to be doing strange rituals, respecting all gamblers will make the casino feel full of diversity so don't let anything disturb them with their beliefs and rituals. gamble for yourself and they gamble for themselves

Its all in good humour, so whatever, if someone thinks a little ritual gives them the upper hand. Gamble on, I say! However, given the rational odds, isnt it hilarious? Gambling is a mix of chance and, well, more chance. In some games, strategies can be used, but most of the time, the universe rolls the dice.

Your point on respecting others' gambling habits & rituals in the casino is perfect. After all, it does add flavour to the game if their amusing small rituals, beliefs, and habits make people around them smile while doing no harm. However, lets also remember the responsible gambling to keep our play within limits and the fun alive!

I think everything here is much more elementary and has a simpler explanation. Superstitions, signs and rituals arising from them are an atavism of our rational thinking. When we see lightning, we know (based on experience) that in a few seconds we will hear thunder. Such observed patterns are sometimes true, sometimes not (an event following another event may simply be a coincidence), but our brain is always looking for some kind of pattern. I think those gamblers who adhere to certain rituals and signs came to them after a certain experience and their behavior is based on it and not on the desire to keep the source of insider information secret. From the outside, this behavior seems crazy, but for their subjective experience these rituals matter (they give results lol, at least it seems to them that they give results).

I don't mind either and usually, I don't care what they do either. I can't forbid it because I don't own the place and am just a visitor like everyone else. It may be true that it can make the atmosphere more exciting because some people still use methods such as rituals. And it will provide a different moment for all of us being in one place together.

I feel you both there. I have my own superstitious beliefs too and I do respect those who do the same thing in front of me because who knows if it could really work and that boosts the confidence of that gambler on his bets which I think is a positive vibe for everyone around him.
I think superstitious beliefs have been part of the gambling world for a long time. When I was young I heard from the old ones who were playing cards that the man with a bit of bad luck should wash his hands because it has a bad odor and that is why he is getting a bad card hand too. It was kind of funny but I don't see them laughing and I think they seriously believe it.
Having clean hands means having a clean hand of cards too.  ;D It's kind of weird but maybe it did work before and the belief was stuck and still known to some gamblers, especially the old ones.

As long as your ritual doesn't make you go overboard with it, I think it's fine. As long as your ritual doesn't hurt you or anyone else while also doesn't make you gamble more, then what harm could it do? Like let's say that you bet a normal amount of money on some game and you feel like you need to take a shower before the game starts as a ritual, I give this example because I know someone like that, in that case it doesn't really feel like it would be all that bad, you could do that if you want to.

I believe those kind of things do not really matter that much and should be something that we could live with. I get that it may feel a bit weird in the end but that's just fine, we shouldn't really consider it as a bad thing. It's only a bad thing if it hurts anyone.

Some gamblers engage in some form of rituals to increase their chances of winning, this could be done at home before coming to the casino or some do it in the game house or casino, they may do it before or after staking, whichever it's just for the purpose of tilting the chances in their favour, some times they happen to be lucky and the other times they are not.

This said rituals been carried out by the gamblers can be considered fine if it's not affecting others but if it does then it should be regulated especially the once who do in the casino, the casino management could place an order in the casinos to stop or regulate this gamblers who carry out such activities especially if its making other players uncomfortable.

But then if it's not harmful and if it doesn't cause anybody discomfort they should be allowed to do their thing as it may be fun to others and create another atmosphere.

You are right. We can accept their superstitious beliefs because they have been used to doing them for a long time and cannot be eliminated no matter what. They believe in these superstitious things because they have seen what happened to people who have used them in the past or they have received advice from older adults in the past. After all, gambling is one of the oldest cultures that has existed. Hence, it is possible that superstitious beliefs already exist, especially in countries in Asia which are very steeped in culture.

But what you said about washing your hands before playing cards makes sense because with clean hands, who knows, our luck will come and give us victory. Well, there are still a lot of superstitions out there, especially those who still practice them.

Yes, it all depends on luck because such rituals cannot guarantee they win even though they are sure they can win using that ritual. We can't blame them because they've been using it longer than we thought and as long as it doesn't disturb other visitors, it's fine. But if it becomes disturbing, we can report it to casino security. And it depends on them because if they don't want to be advised, the casino has the right to prohibit them from gambling at the casino and they have to look for another casino that can accept them.

When rituals or strange things like that are done, since everyone has their own beliefs and their ways of doing things, it may be that the ideal is to do them as they believe, what I do not conceive is that the people seek to do things where they Smoke tobacco and They ask strange and dangerous beings for favors, because they would be playing with energies that they do not control and do not know and well what they can awaken, sometimes things cannot be given, when a person does that and does not use so much, it may be good for them. It happens, but I don't approve of them doing things or invoking spirits so they can win, because that doesn't work, well I'm sure that doesn't work, and as I say, if they invoke something that has a higher level of danger, it's irresponsible because The things that are done like this are not worthy of being able to bring them to a good conclusion, I do not recommend it and the truth is that it is not only recommended, I believe that we should all believe in a God who is all powerful, and that no spirit is above that. God who is all powerful.

Many can do things, they can make invocations, but things that are purely to annoy or disturb are not okay, they can make prayers, they can even make Songs, they can do all kinds of things that are not going to disturb anyone, nor that they awaken strength or energies that are Non-Controllable, because if that's the case it's better that they don't mess with that, and if they mess with that, then the truth is the responsibility of those people, but one thing I can say, that that didn't work, what did work In these cases it is the numbers, the probabilities, the mathematics and the statistics, the mathematical modeling and everything that has to do with that part, we as good players who have some experience in this field, we cannot advise the perosans and tell them that Do that and you can do your best to make it work for you, knowing that it won't work for you, it will be a Waste of time, money and everything.

It's quite funny that someone still holds such antiquated beliefs in this day and age. How can someone lose their bet slip if they give it to someone else? How does it work or connect? Anyone who holds such illogical beliefs needs to be examined to determine what is wrong with them(the state of their mental health). 

A normal person will never think in such a way. He would ask you to assist him in determining whether the forecasted bets had a possibility of winning or not by analyzing the betting games. It will now be up to you to place your bets on the games as instructed or to adjust particular aspects of the bet games.

You cant tell a person is already crazy on having that kind of belief and lets just respect on what are the things that they do have in mind as long they arent harming someone or bothering then it would really be just fine. Just let them be able to realize on what are the things should really be needing  to be done or to do so for them to increase their winning chance rather than on following something which it isnt really that something realistic on doing so. There are really gamblers who do have that kind of belief when it comes on being realistic then it turns out to be a joke or something funny
which if we do make out that indepth understanding about correlation then you could be able to say that it doesnt really have any connection and that what makes it funny.

There's no such thing on this world that could really be able to influence or could really affect on how lucky you are.There's no such thing and this is where
people would really be making out some step or actions that they do believe that it do really make some influence but well its their on their mind
and just let them be on what are the things that they are believing.

Another interesting believe from people here in my country is to write down whatever they see in their dreams which could help them to effectively win at gambling, specially the lottery or animal roulette.
Animal roulette is a very popular gambling game here in this region, where instead of numbers, people are supposed to pick up or choose an animal which will be randomly selected by the end of the day, depending on the wager and the gambling mode, one can get a decent earning.

Anyways, here superstitious people whenever they have a dream with an animal or an specific number, they may wake up in the morning and directly write down what they saw before they forget about it. It is something I have seen people in my family do, for the sake of money.

Honestly, I have never done that, because there is not such gambling place near my home and also, I am not that superstitious.
Allegedly, it is something which works and has lead an important percentage of the population in this country to believe in it.

Whenever you say someone you dreamed about some specific numbers, you would be almost certainly asked whether you plan to gamble on them or not.  It is one of those folk traditions or beliefs which make a country rich in myths and legends.

Right, but of course their rituals shouldn't disturb other gamblers around. They should be peaceful, their rituals, right? Although nothing affects the outcomes of games like slots and roulette, I wouldn't want some making a sacrifice around while I'm playing slots. You know what I mean? :)

If their rituals can be done in silent like on their own mind, for sure it would be allowed, cause for sure every gambler has done the same thing, having their own ritual. For example, whenever we do something like twitching our fingers and wishing we win in our mind, then we suddenly have a win streak, things like that. Cause if there's ritual like you'll to chant it and speak it, in an actual casino, I think that wouldn't be allowed in terms and regulations for not disturbing anyone in the establishment. But let's respect other's beliefs and rituals, like what you have mentioned, because it would be a dumb thing to do if you do such many process just to win in slots and roulette.

The happiness and enjoyment they have after they win and think it was because of what they did is obviously worth watching. Still, it's true that a lot of people are not really interested in seeing such things happening around them when they are gambling, some may even join the fun if they have jolly natures and are always smiling and happy when they see others happy, however, that's not the case with everyone because most people are usually short-tempered when they are losing in gambling.

That's why, in land-based casinos, the management would probably have some rules that one cannot go against in order to stay within the establishment, and people with weird beliefs and superstitions might face problems in such a place as the management will probably not let them do something that might disturb others around them.

We might think it is funny because some people still hold such antiquated beliefs, but it happens in some places, especially those who frequent offline casinos.
They still use antiquated beliefs like that in betting and that gives them confidence and self-confidence because they have seen that someone can win and they also win with those old-fashioned ways.
It seems unreasonable to us but not to them because we can't blame them for still using old-fashioned ways of betting.
We often find things beyond reason when we want to place a bet or on other things and we can only let them continue using methods like that.
And if they don't interfere with others in using their methods, that's fine and we can move on to placing the bets.

Gamblers though is one of the most superstitious person that I have met in their life. They think that everything around them can influence the outcome of their bet. But we all know that this is not true. However, for me I respect those person, if that is what they believed in, they I don't question it.


But if you put logic on it, doesn't make sense right? Because there is no divine intervention that can tip the result in our favor. We can pray to gambling Gods and then hope that they are going to answer and make our bets win.


- I think this is quite common. I recall reading a statistic about the superstitious tendencies of gamblers, and this tendency is particularly strong among people with gambling addictions. Such beliefs give them added confidence when they're betting.
- Some gamblers even translate their dreams into numbers and use them for their wagers. These become their emotional foundations.
- The crucial thing is, we can't say for sure whether these methods have worked well for them. If these practices have indeed been effective for them, it only solidifies their beliefs even more.

There are still gamblers who believe in such superstitious things due to several factors. They think these superstitious things can help them win at gambling, so they continue to use them. They believe that if what they are using isn't working well maybe it's because something is preventing them from winning. And it is true that there are gamblers who translate their dreams into numbers because I have seen some old people who sit in a place and talk about their dreams so they try to interpret them into numbers. And indeed, some people managed to win from that interpretation but others experienced loss because the numbers were reversed. That is why many people still believe in superstition when playing gambling because they have been using it for a long time. They have seen that some people can win, and so on, so they still use it.

however, behavior like that sometimes becomes one of the beliefs of some people who live in a society that believes in superstition, I mean sometimes we dont know where the gambler comes from, sometimes gamblers come from a society that believes in something that can bring us good luck and Maybe what I am saying has been said before by other people, but the way to still respect other gamblers who practice these strange beliefs is a very wise way and as long as these superstitious beliefs dont harm us or dont bother us, there no harm in respecting this behavior because sometimes there are a gambler who performs a ritual before gambling because it is believed to bring good luck but this effort annoys other gamblers so the wise way to respect it is simply to avoid moving to another casino.

I think that this often happens where a person is not at all sure of his bet and bets solely on luck. Then she doesn't want to share her luck with anyone else :) It's strange, yes, because the probability of winning will not increase or decrease from that. But if a person is more relaxed that way, then let him

Not everyone does that, I can assure you. I myself believe that no ritual can help you win in slots, but I do respect those who thinks otherwise. If it makes experience  better somehow, who am I to be against it?


As I said, no way disturbing other players should be allowed. But if there were a room with a sign "Any rituals allowed here", I would probably visit it once in a while. :)

Although this post has been a little bit long but I just came across it now and I want to share my experience too. That belief is nothing to write home about other than just superstitional belief among some gamblers. There was a betting group I was once part of some years back where they share booking codes for public. I was actually a ghost observer in the group and one day they posted a ticket and I objected for a certain game to be removed in the ticket but they all disagree with me. Unfortunately, the game enter bush and everyone was accusing me that I caused the misfortune by objecting in the first place. Lol

That day, I discovered that I'm not sharing the same belief with those gamblers and I quietly left the group for peace to reign. It's true that some people believe in such and it work for them since the outcome some time coincide with what they believe in. This belief has nothing to do with the winning or losing of gamble.

It is a very natural thing to bet and hope for luck, although it is still not certain whether someone will really be lucky. Because people who bet without expecting to win or get lucky are just people who are having fun with gambling, so it wouldn't be strange if someone who bets doesn't want to tell other people about their luck. Because this kind of thing can actually be done by anyone who has the courage and ability individually without having to depend on other people.

When it comes to gambling, it's a personal choice, even when the gambler borrows money and used it to gamble and possibly lost it, he or she will still pay the money because, gambling is a personal thing.
So when involved in gambling, it is absolutely up to you as the gambler to let other people know about your gambling activities or not.
Like myself, I choose to keep my gambling activities a secret to myself alone, except on rare occasions when I come across people discussing their own gambling experiences and I decide to join them and also share my own experiences too, and this people must be people I have not known previously, and may likely never meet again.

When it comes to family and friends, I keep my gambling activities to myself because I don't like people pork nosing into my private affairs, even when they aren't the ones financing that for me, so clearly, it is never mandatory to let people know about your gambling activities most especially, when they are not the ones giving you the money to gamble with.

Some individuals believe that gambling follows a specific pattern and that they possess the knowledge to succeed in this game of chance. Perhaps they have been influenced by the stories of those who have struck it lucky. Regardless of their beliefs, we must respect their perspective. After all, everyone is entitled to their opinion and approach to gambling. If someone chooses not to share their bets, that's completely fine.

Exactly, it's not like you have control on how the team that you're betting on will perform, your control stopped when you've locked it in and now it all relies on the skills of the team you've put your bet on. To be honest, most betting should be easy especially if you just bet on the one with the lowest odds, it's common sense that betting sites will put lower odds on the teams that's likely to win so why not just go with your common sense and secure an easy win?

Indeed, this is a natural thing because they feel that sharing their bets with other people could reduce their luck, even though if they did that, it would not have any impact. This means that if they are lucky and win, that is their fate and vice versa. But if he wants to keep his bets private from other people, that's up to him and we shouldn't force him to keep sharing his bets, especially if we can analyze the match. We should analyze the match rather than pinning our hopes on other people to get the choice.

It doesn't work like that all the time. Most times teams win the higher odd loses so it's best to predict based on the current performance and availability of all the players. Some teams are built on the strength of a particular player which whenever he is present there are 98% chances of winning the game. Whenever he is not available you may see such a team losing form but their odd on bet site will still be high. What affects most gamblers is the lack of information on the present happenings in the games they play. Another scenario is where a team is topping the league they might as well reserve players for an upcoming stronger game, at times the team with the low odds wins. In football line up and formation are brought out an hour to the match time and during that period betting site will check the length of the line up if the team with the highest odd line up is not as strong as before they will reduce the odd because they see a lower chance of them winning.

Well we can't blame them, I myself have my own beliefs whenever I play gambling games, its like my ritual or what I want to do before I start its just like a habit of mine. Some may think I'm weird or others like you think that what we doing is not relevant to what we bet or play, but for us gamblers who holds a ritual in our own accord it satisfy something to us, more like a piece that we need to do because if not we think that our preparation before gambling is not complete. Well the thing you can do is just accept or just respect gamblers with belief or ritual, we have our own ways to win. Anyways I respect your opinion and you do have a point but sadly it will not affect does who have their own belief as that what they believe.

Everyone who gambles certainly has their own way of getting their winnings and it is also very important that the luck they get to be able to win the bets they play without luck I don't think they will get the win they want, especially the bets they play. cannot be predicted so luck plays a very big role in being able to win the bets they play. Maybe only some people keep their bets in gambling a secret because if they have gambled a lot, of course they will share how they placed their bets in gambling.

Yes, that it depends on each gambler's method, if they believe in their beliefs and don't want to share their luck, I don't think it's a problem. We ourselves should have our own beliefs in betting on sports betting by choosing a favorite team or choosing a player who is favored by many players. bookie so that we can achieve the opportunity to win at gambling. In fact, in most sports betting, if we choose a team with a bigger chance of winning, we only get a small profit, but there are also people who have their own confidence in choosing a team with big odds in order to get a bigger profit. they use various methods either through rituals or by doing something so that what they prediction is correct but it seem that this rarely happens because usually gambler who bet on sport prioritize their own tactic and analysis without believing in superstition, but there is no harm in believing in things like that because in the wide world of gambling, we don't know that if we have never seen someone like the OP said.

It's never an easy win. Less than a year ago there was a case when a guy bet $1 million in USD on a team that had 1.01 odds, meaning it should have won almost certainly, right? He thought it was easy to win $10k with that. And the team didn't win, and he lost his entire million. I can't even imagine how much money won those who bet in the outsider, but my point is, even with  1.01 odds you can lose sometimes.

When it comes to betting game, it's true that there's no easy win, some bettors lose so many times before they get to win, it's just that you need to lose almost half of your money before you get back the money that you've lose. It's a matter of luck and some winning strategy that you build in yourself.

Yes, I remember that thread about someone betting at 1.01 and thinks it's a sure win, unfortunately it's not. But then we have seen someone also bet on a parlay with just small amount and the odds are like 100x or higher and then won that bet. And we have lightning roulette or even the crazy times game by Evolution wherein you can win as high as 1000x if I'm not mistaken.

So it's not that easy to win that huge amount and it will take big risk on your end. Others doesn't want to go that route of beating $1 million with a odds of 1.01 because the chances to lose that big is still there.

As far as gambling is concerned, there's no  sure game because even the very unexpected things still happens in gambling. The possibility of winning a particular bet might be very high because of the odd but that doesn't mean that it's a guarantee that you're definitely gonna end up winning the game. Some time last season when a particular big team was scoring a lot of goals and beating almost every team they face, some placed bet on their match against a smaller team that a goal will be scored in that game but after 90 minutes, it ended in a goalless draw.

In gambling, there are no easy wins. Often gamblers have to experience quite a lot of losses before they can win. Unfortunately, their winnings are not enough to recover their losses, so many gamblers continue gambling to recover their losses. But that will not guarantee that they can win. They can suffer more and more losses, making it difficult for them to win again. If they intend to continue gambling, they should be able to think that it will never be easy to win, so it would be better for them just to stop gambling rather than experience more losses. That's what wise gamblers should do so they can only lose what they can afford.

I won 151x  of my bet recently

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/11/11/tOtKP.png

but I lost around 80 of similar multibets before that. And I think I was very lucky to win that 151x. This might not have happened in the next 80 bets and I would be in the red. You should never count on getting your money back like it's guaranteed to happen when you make a lot of bets.


See my post above. I did bet with just small amount and the odds were actually more than 100x. :)
