I have experienced some guys who are chronic gamblers making unimaginable predictions from football player's jersey numbers, basket ball, hockey, rugby etc jersey's numbers. I have experienced this and their prediction is only based on these numbers shown on TV sports analysis consistently and regularly.
These chronic gamblers feel that when these jersey numbers keep flashing on your TV stations maybe during the sports news, analysing the jersey numbers on different clubs and display of the jersey numbers may be a sign that such number will appear as draw for the week and they do their permutations on that.

This is for example what I'm saying with the jersey numbers not about the person but numbers precisely.

The pictures are different and analysed differently for the week.
Like 7,19
Another week 10,7,17
Another week 10,7,17,10 (probably 10 confirmation of banker  ;D for this week)
Another week 8,7,8,10 (probably 8 confirmation of banker for this week)
Another week 16,15
Another week 10

So this particular guy in Nigeria around 5 years ago followed some Jersey numbers he has been monitoring for the week and according to him 3 of the numbers where consistently and regularly appearing on different TV stations for the week and he concluded some numbers and went to stake them 3/3 in the weekend draws and behold! When the matches were played all turned out draws and this guy cashed out from different pool shops where he did the stakings. It was a big winning story in the area alongside few guys he gave the numbers to try their luck.

My question is, have you experienced this kind of gambling with Jersey numbers ?

Note: The pictures are just to illustrate my point with the jersey not particular about who was wearing it and I didn't need to link any source because any jersey number will do or can be imagined, at most written with bare hands.

First, the topic is more preferable on the Gambling discussion. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=228.0)

Honestly, with all of my time that I gamble this is the first time of hearing about such strategy. It's unusual to see that there's this strategy that exists and if someone was able to win through this, well, it's amazing.

It is really a gambling strategy I consider as a critical and logical reasoning. Sometimes they can add the numbers up and arrive at another number and bet on it. Like the first week is 7,19 so they can add 7 + 19 = 36. That means they either bet on 7,19, 36 or divide 36 in two to arrive at a particular forecast they are looking at.

That is just a pathetic attempt at hitting a huge win.It is the same as going in a physical casino,choosing the slot which has the best visuals and sound and hitting based on how many pictures this slot has on visuals and playing with that number as your bet and to happen that you win the jackpot,see how difficult it is,if not impossible.

That lucky guy in Nigeria I highly doubt he has won another time and that was more of a bingo than a correct prediction because of this guy,it happened that once in a lifetime the superstition worked but keep in mind in 100 years it can happen once or twice so not the best strategy to follow.

Is it for lottery gambling? by selecting from Jersey numbers listed on the sports tv station and adding up all that numbers and randomizing them? This strategy like a natural marker has become the belief of the ancients in gambling, by looking at the date of an accident and then analysis it to be a bet.

I so much accept the fact that one has to be dynamic in gambling and the casinos can also choose to take from OP opinion on gambling with the numbers written on the football players for example among other sports, one could actually place a bet on the particular colour or number (s) written on their jerseys and it will bring about a new dimension to servicing gamblings in varieties when it comes to gambling.

Are you talking about lottery gambling....! What do you mean the lucky numbers 7.10, 8 and so on.

If what you are talking about is the type of lottery gambling, of course we will see that there are lots of people who put lottery numbers properly and correctly, generally it's all just a coincidence. For me it was just coincidence and luck, In my opinion, this type of lottery number bet is misleading, many people take the number trick as you said and there are many other ways they believe they can place the lottery, they don't care about cemeteries, they can even ask for animals and use them as a number guide.

What is clear, I don't trust soccer player jersey numbers, for lottery bets and maybe that has never happened to me, even though those numbers often appear on TV screens and so on, I installed the lottery purely because the numbers that came out in my own brain were not guided by a football player, even though he is a top star.

This was so irregular that it might even be weirder than some usual rituals people do when gambling. Seeing as this is the case of jersey numbers, I reckon the team themselves would be irrelevant. (Since other teams could have the same numbers and show it). Honestly, this is a really far-fetched method of connecting what you've seen to luck, It's really forced so I highly doubt a lot of people would've experienced it. I honestly think the story was just forced so it can be turned into content by journalists or whoever wrote the story, (or maybe even the person himself who did it).

To answer though, nope, and probably never will. There's just no sense in it.

A lot of my friend is doing same strategy or better to call it a superstitious betting. This strategy is purely based on luck and most people that use this kind of bet style are those that doesn’t want to think hard for there bet. This is really a sign of a chronic gambling because you are betting without knowing well on what you are entering and just doing it for the sake of having a bet.

A professional or normal gambler typically don’t place a bet on a match that he doesn’t understand or analyze well because of the fear of losing the money. Chronic gambler doesn’t have this fear already that’s why they can rely on superstitious for the sake of there bets.

I was wondering how lame this idea could be until the OP mentioned Nigeria. That's when it was dawn on me that what the OP was referring to might be true. This is because in Nigeria, people have so many spiritual beliefs, so they could take it towards that betting angle.

Personally, this is senseless gambling that just went in his favour. And if I may ask, how many matches has he used the method to win since then? Something like this is not feasible in persistent practice and could be seen among those that are very addicted and desperate for gambling. My advice for the person is to take things easy before it becomes unbearable for his mind.

This is actually the first time I'm coming across this kind of strategy but if it works for others, then it is good for them and I'm aso happy for them but I really don't see this very strategy as a nice and benefiting strategy because I feel this very strategy is just luck based and the probability of certainty is very low.
Another thing I observed from your writing is the fact that people who engage in this kind of gambling strategy are chronic gamblers and for one to be a chronic gambler, it implies that the fear of losing money recklessly is already gone and who they actually rely on is just luck and don't have that patient to make a bet strategically.

I have never seen or experienced anything like it in my life. I consider this method un-scientific, based on dubious signs and signs. As something close to astrology and superstitions. The Nigerian guy you're talking about must have been lucky enough to be able to decipher the secret messages on the T-shirts. Just a coincidence and nothing more. This sometimes happens in the world of gambling.

Is it some kind of sports lottery? And also, Is it just coincidence? 'coz if it is not, then the gambling game is manipulated then. Most of the time, winning combinations in sportsbetting are 'balled' electrically or randomly. So I think this is something not of a strategy that I could rely on. But if it worjs to some people then it might be. Another thing is the kind of sportsbetting I engage with, most of the time; which us about winning team or player not some sort of number guessing.

This is most of the time present in gambling wherein players are using signs, and relationships between their variables of interest, to come up with a winning bet. But this also has no certainty. That's just how gambling works. If you can accurately guess the outcome then that won't be gambling in the first place.

It can't be a gambling strategy. It is just pure luck that the Nigerian guy wins the draw with a jersey number that constantly shows up on the TV screen ;D.

I do not see anyone using this, but I saw some superstitious gamblers use vehicle number plates. They bet on the most used numbers in vehicles that passed by them. It makes no sense to me, but sometimes they win, but most of the time, they lose. Lottery gambling is all about luck unless you have any influence or anyone in authority.

Going through the write-up of the op I was almost confused because I was wondering how someone will spend some time in front of the television just to monitor the jersey numbers that will be displayed often so that he or she can assume the numbers that will possibly come out as draws but on sighting the word from op permutation, I remembered that in my region there are a lot of aged men who come together to analyze the possibility of a particular number been used as draws they mostly do their analysis using jersey numbers but they do this analysis using news papers but not television as stated by the op I don't know if it is related to the idea of the op.

In gambling anyhow we use in winning doesn't matter,what matters is that we win,as for that gamble strategy it worked for him because that day was his lucky day. This kind of strategy works in number forecast, where you need to predict 3 different numbers that will be exactly as the result the machines will release in the next hours.

Gamblers take their time to study result of previous games for sometimes before forecasting theirs, which they will place a bet on. Some gamblers that don't know how to forecast or study these results,sometimes get their own numbers which they place their bets on either seeing numbers on cloths or on fiat money,this strategy don't work most times because its a try your luck thing

I'm not sure it's all pure luck because I have heard about this too many times.

Seeing a random number can be a lottery winning number, yes this have happened few times before, some are revealed in dreams and some are from the least people you won't ever believe due to their appearances.

There are many things happening in this world today that have no genuine explanations and this is one of them.

Maybe another way that guardian angels are communicating or helping people? I don't know but the stories are real.

I have not had such an experience, but in general I do not see anything surprising in this. There are people who are predisposed to all sorts of superstitions, so they are constantly looking for some kind of signs and, in general, they have a mystical consciousness. Sooner or later, some of them get lucky (not because their methods work, but just by chance) and such cases become widely known.

The lack of strategy I guess will lead to just finding a hint on what flashes on the screen. This is sort of a premonition but true this is a pathetic way of doing it. Couldn't just watch picker since there are many of them on youtube providing picks for every match. they also analyze for speculators. Chronic gamblers wouldn't have to think as they can think for the bettors.

Anyway, I looked at it, and it is just a coincidence it's hard to repeat that more often, we find different people doing things differently when it comes to gambling, they cannot accurately predict the winners or winning numbers so they resort to superstitions and when by coincidence they hit the jackpot they make a big fuzz out of it, thinking that they found their own formula to win.
All I know is if you're lucky you're going to be lucky, but if you are good at analysis then you will not resort to this type of betting prediction.

I have seen a guy try this kinda strategy too.
It was on one cool morning while I was on my way to work that fateful day. I noticed a motor bike operator stared at me with keen interest. I slowly followed his eyes and saw his fixation was on the number clearly written on the T-shirt I wore. He was memorizing the number to go play at his betting spot.
How I discovered his motive was because I passed him at his betting spot while still taking a walk to the junction I would board a vehicle to work. When I told this to my colleague, he clearly pointed out the obvious. He had lived in the neighbourhood longer than I, so I understood better. Hence, why I can attest to this strategy.
If one takes time to observe numbers, I believe one can employ a strategy that may be as favorable.

Such 'strategies', so to speak, are used by people who delude themselves into thinking they have found a good way to make money from gambling. Nothing could be further from the truth.


It is.

Such people also tend to tell you when they win but don't tell you all the times they lose. It happened to me with a friend who said he was winning at slots, until at one point he collapsed because he had lost too much and confessed the truth to me.

Nope, i'd probably used another strategy than relying on jersey numbers since it's way too unpredictable but it's nice to see that it worked out though as it reminds me of the unusual strategies that some sports bettors do before placing their bets. Like the wind chimes guy from the NFL, whenever his chimes would ring it'd mean his team would win even against tougher opponents. There's also that sports bettor where he'd ask his gf that doesn't know anything about sports to pick teams that would cover the spread.

I feel strange about the way your friends gamble, especially when determining the numbers to be drawn. Usually this kind of thing is just a factor of luck because in fact the lottery results are random numbers without the right rules and patterns, so the victory is absolutely due to luck regardless of how the player arranges the numbers.

Many lottery players in my country quite often believe in mystical, dreams or whatever they see in the environment. Sometimes it's right, most of the time it's wrong and they lose, but in the end it's just luck.

Not me but my parents do. They're not with jersey numbers but my father was onto even plate numbers, house numbers and even onto electricity bills. My mother is different especially when he plays onto lottery since they attribute most of her prediction onto birthdays (but likely this are the common thing a lot of lottery players are associating their numbers afaik).

In principle, this is the same as using to guess numbers in a lottery, for example, by the numbers of the first bus route numbers you come across, or asking a friend to just name any number from 1 to 100, here people just trust a randomly dropped number just giving luck to chance.

I knew this kind of strategy existed, but I didn't know people got the numbers to bet from players' uniforms displaying on TV. Commonly, people bet on numbers they dream about or numbers they may find randomly anywhere on their daily life. Some mix of birth dates from close people is also common.

Anyway, it's just superstition. There isn't any assurance you will win because you have been paying attention to the numbers around you in your life. When we talk about the method shared by OP it becomes even more unstable, because image how many teams, players and numbers on their uniforms appear on TV in a weekly basis.

This is the first time in my life I am hearing this. I have never seen anyone gambling or making bets based on jersey numbers.
Does this even work ? I mean are there any players who still bet based on this strategy or has anyone won their bets consecutively from this strategy ?
I don't think there's any math involved here and it might just be luck for some of them.

There is a friend of mine who uses a bet with the numbers he sees and if it looks like a good number or something to do with the previous number he will place it. But all of that didn't work and in my opinion this method is very funny, because betting like that is like lazy people thinking or looking for other ways that make sense.
although just relying on luck doesn't mean you can do it easily, although sometimes you are lucky if you keep doing it you will lose more than you win, maybe 1 in 10.

Personally I am never used to this prediction because I don't focus on such useless things which happens in my surrounding. But I do remember one of my colleague who used to bet on the numbers based on car number plate. Yes, if he feels that a particular number is flashing more often on his eyesight on that day then he choose to bet on that.

FYI, he won couple of times and lost thousands so that's the ratio and it could be a mere coincidence than anything.

Was it a lottery game where from the numbers, he made some prediction about what number would come out? If so, I've never had that happen, and it has something to do with someone's superstitious having to do with something, and he's convinced it has something to do with lottery numbers.

Perhaps, I've seen someone collect the number of vehicles passing on the highway. He took a few sample vehicle numbers and went home, where he flipped through the numbers hoping he could find a connection. And sometimes, he can win, but he also often loses. I thought it had something to do with superstitions. But I am not sure about that.

I had some gambling games every week end. I do mostly after my payment from campaign and salary from my job. Because gambling become a part of my life. Every week I had spend few hours on gambling. My friends are addicted to the gambling, they add me because of my interest on gambling. To bet on the number, we should have a luck apart from the prediction. So you should play on your lucky time. When the people with good knowledge in gambling people should use this strategy for the gambling. Gambling should learn only by the experience by using some funds and easily experienced with minimum budget.

I think without proper show of calculations there's no correlation between jersey numbers and the draws for the week. To be fair the number 7 is a pretty common number to come up with because of heuristics in our brain. It's way easier to notice compared to other numbers and they might've mistook those as causative forces that would determine what the draw number is for the week. If there's more evidence to show that these "permutations" employed by the chronic gamblers you spoke of I would be more than happy to give it a look-see. Coz at this point it looks to me as if these guys are connecting two arbitrary things together. Unless the games are rigged and these are the ways of organizers to let us know, I don't think there's really a connection between those two.

This is very unusual and a very unreliable way to gamble. In ten chances to win the chances of winning like this is very low and unlikely. I have heard cases of how different people analyse games to gamble on, but this strategy of depending on numbers is not advisable and purely based on luck, and since it is very impossible to be lucky all the time, you will loose a lot of money. Practice the strategy in gambling that improves your chances of winning, not the one that reduces it.

This was no strategy all whatever people think it is. It's just once in a year coincidence. There's no way of determining the outcome of a game through this method.
Most people try to predict the fixture through previous meetings, present form, most recent results. I'm sure that guy only won that one time and didn't succeed again with that prediction style while he has tried so many times.

Lol, I do not know about other countries, but any user here that is a Nigerian and have been around gambling definitely would have experienced this kind of gambling or would know some one who has.

I personally have never tried this type of gambling but I know many who has, and I tell you that this is not limited to numbers written on jersey alone, some times, it can be random numbers seen anywhere in the street or even picked from the floor or way side, many have indeed won big From this style of gambling, and many also have lost big, it is all about luck, and not a guaranteed win.

I have friends who are doing that thing believing that it would be an effective strategy which I think is just a myth. Jersey numbers as for me aren't reliable and they could only be a coincidence. When it comes to sports betting, it will be better to rely on the strength of the players and teams than focus on what they wear or their jersey numbers are. Their numbers are chosen and given randomly so there's no sense relying or basing our bets on them.

Yeah, it's logical but just surprised that there's one that's in existence that I've never known of.

Anything on the calculation one may do with those numbers as long as they're exact the same numbers that have been projected on the screen, none other than them.

Well, if it works then it works and so, you just have to continue doing that until you think that it's not working anymore.

With lottery I guess, using this strategy is really possible. Even my mother itself used to remember every numbers shown in television or being consistently mentioned in the radio and she will bet on them in lottery. Others have successfully hit a a jackpot prize out of this and some even go for their children birthdates and maintain their bets in lottery.

Do you have any proof of anyone who is consistently winning in gambling from this strategy? Even if someone won a few times, it's purely because of luck because I don't think there is any logic due to which one may say that this strategy directly links with the winning, or maybe I am not aware of what is the myth of these numbers.  ???

Yes I think this is more on lottery gambling. I know a lot of gamblers who are betting for lottery are doing this kind of strategy. Even if it’s quite odd, but believe me there are really those who are lucky enough and win big prizes out from predicting or maybe creating random bets from consistent numbers that appear on tv. Yes, it maybe something illogical but it’s definitely working on them.

Just want to tell you that gamblling is something that we know quite well that the prediction is something that you can't trust or believe on someone prediction in order to win, any gambling prediction you analysis by yourself or predict by yourself will be more preferable or trustworthy that take a clue from anyone. I don't personally take any prediction from anyone serious because on my mind what I'm thinking off is that prediction of online which you don't know who predicted it might be fake.

I mean betting on the numbers of the players jersey? that's unheard of.

But let me tell you that gambler are very superstitious and maybe that's where this kind of betting arises. So I'm not surprised though.

For sure we have heard this kind of this believed in the past as well, so you may call this gamblers names, but still they just like to find any link to winning that any body else.

My friends use to create their own strategy all the time. Because gambling need of new strategy all the time, So people with knowledge on gambling surely improve their techniques daily. But the strategy of sports bet is easy task, if you are well and good in sports. Mostly it’s a huge benefit for you, you just need to know the potential of all the players around the world. Their are lot of gambling games in the more websites, most of experience people look for the fun by make the investment into the gambling. It’s not a easy one to inverse your money in trading and your money into the gambling to earn money too.

I am trying to understand, what is Op trying to explain in this thread, i mean what kind of gambling is Op referring. it seems like you said, maybe he refers to lottery gambling. if true, then what the Nigerian man did is commonplace, a little funny indeed, there are many people who formulate things that don't make sense in their method of placing lottery bets. like the example that Op told in this thread.

Even in my country, many people are still superstitious to get the numbers they want and then they will combine them with the formulas they have. these numbers, can be subtracted or added according to their beliefs to win this lottery. so I'm not surprised, if it turns out that in other countries there are still doing things that are beyond our reason and common sense. however, as long as it is good according to him, and does not harm everyone around him. whatever they do, it's up to them what they want.

Everyone has probably experienced people who choose "lucky numbers" and in some settings it has no harm at all. Like buying a lottery ticket every so often and choosing the same ones - it has exactly the same chance of winning as any other set of numbers, so there's no harm in selecting the same ones instinctively. However trying to put any depth of thought or logic into what you described is completely pointless. There is no sense and it is just a random coincidence if they happen to strike it lucky a few times. You'll tend to find that certain countries are more superstitious than others, Nigeria being one of them, so it can be more prevalent in such societies. In countries with bigger populations people can also use such ideas as a way to distinguish their random luck in life.

I understand this one you are talking about. The old men usually hangout forecasting through the soccer news paper to analyse on what draws will come during the weekend. It is almost same as the one the guy followed up on the TV because it is also about studying and reading of the numbers appearing that week. He also cross checked his forecast on the soccer newspaper to confirm same numbers. This is years back actually.



Lol such strategy is already a hard work itself. Researching on that daily is not a lazy man's job.

This is really a very common behavior on which bettors or gamblers do really trying to seek or find off on which we do really end up on having those kind of combinations on trying out to
connect some dots and presume that it would really be giving that significant luck and chances to make out some win.
When it comes to number combinations and something related to this, then i havent tested out on making use with sports betting but when it comes to lotteries or something related.

Then i have really just test out this kind of betting behavior but not really that something i do rely or mind off that it would give out positive results anytime.
It cant really be just that possible.

Both were the same, just the difference on the source through which the information is being taken. For me it is something new and hadn't used to it. In what all way we predict using different tactics and strategies, the outcome is kind of coincidence to the lucky one.

Those stuffs are just mere coincidence. It could prolly happen ( I'm not disputing that fact) but it has nothing to do with whoever plays the win for the game, talk more of a draw.
Yunno, gamblers ain't would always find several ways to maneuver; since they loose alot of funds on the long run, trying to triple 'em -- at some point, it feels as if it'll be impossible to make some big wins without a Means to divert; those thoughts would quickly create a decent atmosphere for different calculative designs, -- the likes of this one  :P
The dude was just lucky and that's it.

Sandra 🧑

It is between what he has experienced and also luck at once. Sometimes, the habit can make you more experienced. Like what happened tot he man, he should be really usual with the activities and he believes in it. When you believe in something and then follow it, this may be good luck for you.

I personally never do or even think about considering Jersey as the number accumulation for my gambling, never. This is new for me and I don't think this will work for me, too.  ;D  

^Overall as the result, still that is a baseless prediction or simply guessing the result but if you totally have information of which team you have placed a bet with, you won't choose a jersey number but instead their background. I did not try this because I usually do some research about the team's condition, their background, and the previous match result of how they played. But if you don't have knowledge on which to place a bet, this kind of predicting bet would be also helpful but does not a greater chance of winning.

I have not experienced with this jersey numbers but I have experienced similar thing with it. What I did is to arrange those numbers randomly coming from my dreams, or what I usually saw on tv, or even remembering those numbers with important events. And then bet them on lottery gambling, if lucky enough win a small amount but I have never been winning big prizes with this kind of strategy, but I think others have been making it big.

The truth is, no one gets more profits in gambling because it’s more of a losing game. And some gamblers have known it from the start, but they believe on luck and chances so they always chase for them in gambling. However, with this type of strategy, I believe it’s more on coincidence than just real statistics. No one is fool enough to believe that gambling is played in this way, but because gamblers always find means to win than to lose, that is why others have resort into this type of strategy and some are really seeing it working for them.

We could say its working if we do win on making use of it, but on the time that we had lost then we do tell to ourselves that there might be other way which means that this would be a never ending chasing
or making those kind of strategies that we do really look on which one would be working or not.This is what makes this business so profitable because gamblers are really this way on which we are really that
making those ways or methods which we do really believe that it could give out advantage which it does really give out that kind of desperation instead and ends up on making it as a habit.
Lots had been testing out and its true that if this thing does work then everybody would really be doing this.

I think this is a strategy no one has ever seen before and it does not surprise that is the case as I do not think it makes sense at all, as it is entirely up to the criteria of the person not only what numbers they choose but also how to interpret them, there is not really any kind of methodology which can be drawn from it and since that is the case no one should use it, but how can we explain the success he got? Luck, he got lucky and won but this does not mean his system actually works.

Any strategy does not guarantee the opportunity to win because gambling about high risk to lose than win, but if we always rely on strategy also have a negative impact in gambling because we lose control expect high victory based on the analysis of the strategy for the next bet, the fact is that the strategy does not work and we already Loss of everything in gambling.

Actually what you are saying is real, i believe that gamblling is by luck. Because i have seen or notice that someone that goes into gambling recently and immediately it enters into gamblling betting and it began to win, why people that started gambling since like three to five years have not benefited what someone that started gambling recently has achieve, so do stand to say gamblling is all about luck and research of what you are predicting or doing concerning gambling.

Wow, that was fun reading it.
Is this real or for entertainment purposes only? Because I won't waste money by using jersey numbers as analysis. He made it sound like the TV is the crystal ball and it will tell you what the future beholds.

An analysis is looking at stats, team strength versus their opponent, history of their wins against who they are up to, and just basically checking the roster and making sure there are who are absent on that game.
This type of prediction is not for me, maybe it does work for others but IMO, that's just luck.

This one may have always been a coincidence, but a very big one at that. Numbers appearing consistently together wherever you look may look like they are a sign from a divine being or whatever that urges you to bet on it and win lots of money. I myself have believed in this back then when trying to play the lottery. I stuck with that belief that if a number constantly appears (even in my dreams LOL), I should go ahead and bet it on the lottery. But perhaps I was just too much into winning that I made myself belief that these numbers have significance. Since then, when I stopped thinking about winning, I immediately stopped seeing numbers that seem to give something off them and stopped dreaming of numbers too! ;D

I think I have seen these kind of gambler before but not for football bets. I have seen this in lotto where there are some numbers which they kept seeing do look like a sign to them that such number could come out a winning number. It do happens in lotto and such kind of gamblers do make some winnings most time. This is mostly based on luck and when they make winnings, they do count it on there ability to read signs from what they see. Especially the ones that appear to them frequently.

As a human being and seeing those patterns and regularities even if you are trying to convince yourself that its coincidence but those appearances will really be having you thinking or doubting that it might

be real and this is something a human behavior which it is really part of our instincts that we might believing that there is really some sort of pattern but we know that it cant just be possible.

On this way, we would really be doing up things in according into those experiences and thinking that it might really be working or not.
We do keep on making things and using up as part of our betting habits.

LOL this is pretty funny and I can't say that I know anyone personally who has done this but I can share a story that would be relevant here. 

If anyone reading this is a fan of the Howard Stern show this would ring a bell for you.  One of the Stern show staffers, Sal Governale has a father who's a chronic gambler.  He will do all sorts of whacky shit.  Like for instance the day his mom died he made everyone in the family go to bed with a pen and pad of paper because he was sure she was going to come to them in their sleep and reveal winning lotto numbers.  He owned an Italian pizza joint and would kick out homeless people for being in his store for too long, but before doing so he would make them write down a few of their favorite numbers to use for the lotto..for some reason thinking they had luck coming due to him.

So there's all sorts of people who do crazy stuff like this!

Well, I'm sure of one thing.... This is not strategy but superstition.
People invent "any reason" to have a justification of how to place their bets, if this "strategy" has worked, I believe it's purely luck.

I would tell you that it is much more reliable for you to bet using your knowledge and technique, but we are witnessing in the last world cup very "crazy" matches in which favorite teams are losing by others that we didn't even imagine were being classified for the elimination phase.

So I think we should give "some credit" to people who are using these "crazy" strategies to place their bets.

I think I'll keep track of the shirt numbers of players who are going to score goals in the next round of the world cup and then use that to place my lottery bet. If I win, I'll come back here to tell you.

   I know other people whose basis is like that, there are many of them. But in the field of this gambling industry, I have never seen a winner with this strategy dude. Because, what they think will come out is only in their minds, but the truth is that it is not.

Sometimes I don't understand either, but maybe this is one of the things that can enable them or drive them to take a gambling action as an individual gambler.

This betting strategy is kinda familiar to me but of course just like the others not in football or any other sports, and yeah it's for lottery. Chronic gamblers have their own beliefs about something they see on the TV, favourite magazines, or even ask innocent child about a certain set of numbers, and about the things they have dreamt of. Believe me, there's several stories about these that really came true and people do win.
My wife was a good example, she have like 2 or 3 times, she dreamt about 3 sets of numbers and the next day the lottery we have locally that allows you to win with just 3 number combination in exact order, had that same exact result as what she have dreamt of. Unfortunately, she was not able to place a bet (coz she's not really into gambling) on it but just shared about her experience regarding that matter.

Well, yeah.

It's plausible if it's going to be with lottery and other gambling games that has numbers on it to play with and is basing totally on luck. I understand and get the idea now.

I'm sure that there are other bettors too that have bet for the numbers that has appeared on their dreams, if there's one any, correct?

I have never heard or experienced this type of gambling style. But I believe this type of gambling would be solely based on luck. This is because their prediction would not be based on history or present performance of any team but just based on numbers on the jerseys they see from the screen. For me I don't think this is a good pattern of gambling but it might be possible that it has been working for them.
 
You also stated that most of the people you saw that engaged in this type of gambling are addict. Their addictions might be why they adopt this strategy because addict can get predictions from unconventional and sometimes unreasonable means without proper considerations. There main goal is just to satisfy the strong drive to gamble.  

Hilarious!

It's just full of lucky if the lottery outcome is same like the picture that they promoted because they wouldn't be stupid to share the outcome of that's round lottery. I never faced this experience when I play lottery in my local country, it's really different with the outcome.

It's better to choose your favorite number rather than choosing the number that comes by a chance.

What is in our minds will not always come true but what is in our hearts can come true. I have experienced this but in slot games. There was something in my mind that said the name of a slot game and I immediately moved to try to play it but apparently, I lost. And another day, I seemed to get another slot game name but this time it wasn't from my mind and I'm sure it wasn't from my mind.

I tried to play the slot game and finally, I won a few dollars from the game. I wonder if this is superstition, conscience, or just coincidence. I never thought about it because after I got the slot's name, I didn't play it immediately but a few hours later.

No, I don't and that's because I have never tried gambling in lottery gambling
It seems strange but many gamblers do have strange strategies but it will not always bring victory, and this is certainly for betting on the lottery and some choose numbers based on dreams or ask a child about the numbers he thinks and some succeed and more do not, so it is just a coincidence if he can get a big win or jackpot, and most will be secretive about losing and will scream when they win.

It is obviously nothing but all gamblers fallacy. Not exactly gamblers fallacy, but something similar were they believe particular things "brings" luck. The draws completely depends on your luck and seeing a number regularly isn't a "sign" or anything. The guy that won by analyzing those number just got lucky and nothing else. Don't follow those strategies. You will end up regretting.

It was not for entertainment purposes, it happened but if it repeatedly happened is what I can not confirm and this is longtime ago like I already said.


No it is not as such, not the crystal ball. The TV is out of it only that it was a medium that such numbers were shown and then plus other confirmation from soccer news papers that the forecast were drawn from.

But sometimes it is our confidence that made us win mate, because positivity attracts luck that is what I learned from my experiences. when my mood is good i often win but when I felt like bad? then losing comes continuously.

so the idea is not that bad at all and what we only need to understand is the timing and the attitude towards gambling.

Had this similar experience when i was young when I dreamed of the local basketball ending in my localities and put a bet in 5 cards and the outcome? i won in all of them.

but does this made me believe about this ? nope instead i believe this is just a luck that gives me something.

But let them have their belief and let us face our strategy .

Chronic gamblers are like that they put everything related to gambling I remember I have a neighbor who look at the cartoon series in the newspaper to see number signs to bet in the lottery because he won third prize many times doing this, so it become addicted and challenge for him trying to see numbers when I did not saw anything, it's like imagining numbers that are not there, maybe it's his subconscious mind working and manifesting through those cartoon characters.
I guess when we are too attached to gambling we see things as something that will bring us the results that we're looking for.

It's just numerology combined with apophenia. People would like to see more meaning in chaos and have more control over their their lives and even predict gambling. They can't accept that they couldn't have any control.

Reason why these people seem to win often is because like many gamblers they only count and remember winnings, this becomes especially handy when you need to justify yourself that you are in the right track on predicting everything.

But obviously it doesn't work. They don't even require proof because they couldn't possibly give it.

in my country there is a lottery game, every day on the tv channel they show the number and whoever bought a ticket with that same number that is on tv is the person who wins the lottery, it turns out that many people have been writing down the numbers every day so that they can see if the next day they manage to match the numbers that appeared on TV, when I look at all that and take notes from several months I realize that there are so many random numbers that to match that number that appears on TV is a matter of being lucky, there is no strategy to hit the lottery numbers, that's clear to me, that's why I don't play the lottery, that's why I don't like games that depend on luck and I don't play those games that depend on luck. I wonder why so many people in my country continue to play the lottery every day

For me, I literally see this as a guess prediction work, that is mostly base on luck, because on the contrary, everybody has his/her strategy which works for them, in as much as they believe in it, because the percentage of winning using this method is 1/100 percentage chance, because there are many other factors to make a team win or either lose a match far more than a numerical number on its weekly table predicting which or which will be draw (such as i.e caliber of footballers to play the match, latest transfer news and location at which  match will be played "home or away" and e.t c).

So on summery, I see this strategy as a just mere luck

This must be a lottery game because lottery involves picking a number. My mother does this before too where he chooses a number that had more meanings to her like her birthday and as well as ours (her kids) and then our father's birthday. There are times that it will hit but it was mostly 3 to 4 numbers out 6 so the prize were only small.

Keno and roulette are games that do also involved picking a number. I think this strategy can also be applied with it. It was great to see that gamblers can also become creative when it comes to gambling. This can make the game even more exciting or can make more sense. That when they play randomly.

It is obvious that gamblers will think the way they want to think and there is nothing wrong with that, let them think the way they want to think and just ignore the rest. I personally believe that the best thing we could do is to make sure we gamble in the right places such as Stake and all, and then make sure that we do not gamble more than we can afford to lose and just keep doing that.

I have done that in a million different ways so far and I have never been upset like this. Sure I am upset when I lose, but not go ahead and bother the casinos about it, because it's my own money and I was aware what would be the outcome and I accepted the faith.

For a gambler, it makes sense to find a number that can be used as a sign to buy the lottery because as far as I can remember, I also have some friends and even my distant family who do too. They become addicted to looking for numbers that they think are valid and can come out as winners. But sadly, it didn't come true as they had imagined. We don't know what's in their minds and how they can process those numbers to be used as numbers to buy.

let's just respect anyones beliefs as that is their way to attract luck . I dont know if you have seen a gambler that have a lucky charms since my friends are doing it they have sort of tokens and items that they think its a lucky charm for them, for others they will laugh at it but for us it can attract luck . Lets just respect each other and also gamble what you can afford to lose and mostly play on the casino that is reputable so that you are sure it is a fair casino and also you dont get a problem once you won a game

I have to clear this up that it is not a lottery game. I only asked if anyone has experienced that kind of gambling before. It was a number based that the guy forecast and did research from other sources before having the feeling that the numbers would be the outcome of a weekend pools result for that week. Lottery numbers may not be forecasted, it can be by random selection. So this was a weekly pools result game.

I do not rule out that there are insiders who can transfer insider information to their clients in a similar way (for money). 

But this is possible only in a situation of prior agreement between the insider and his client.  However, betting in a game of chance, just because someone put on a sports shirt with a certain number and it was shown on national television ....

No!  I think this is a very unreliable strategy.

It is really just like this but people do really make it a little bit interesting to look at since its not really that common on this kind of betting where people could make out such bets basing with those jersey numbers.
Just like the rest been saying that it is really just pure coincidence which there's no proof that it would really be having that significant increase in odd chance to win up a particular bet.
I havent tested out or tried out this kind of betting behavior on which you do really see or check with those numbers.I dont know on how they would be putting up
those considerations basing up on just looking or making up some pattern into them.

When you come to that point then it just means you are thinking a lot of gambling, These kinds of people are dreaming that they are betting so they extract their winning numbers on everything they see its like they are hallucinating in trying to see numbers and insist that these are their winning numbers, I also believe in signs they do happen but I never do this often I tend to rely on my analysis and when it comes to luck based games in a casino, I just go for what flashes in my mind, but if they enjoy doing these things then let them be.

It is probably relied on luck just like every other gamble that we do is luck based. To have seen such numbers and analysed them is based on same luck for them to appear at the result. If you look at the world cup you also see some matches and the result not as predicted with the odds assigned to them. This is likewise like the numbers can manifest and become winning games.

Such predictions are not only for lottery but also for roulette gambling.
but this is the first time I heard a prediction using the jersey number used by a soccer player.
it looks a little strange, but it has become a habit for some people to predict the winning numbers at gambling and this prediction I say a forecast.

but I want to try the prediction, it seems I need to try it at roulette. although a little ridiculous but who knows it's our luck. because we know that gambling cannot be separated from relying on luck

It's like those guys who before betting go to a gypsy to tell them their fate or ask the cards about the outcome of the match.

I also know people who read horoscopes before betting.

I think it's crazy and it's adding more variables into the mix.

I never do this and I wouldn't recommend it to others. It only helps if you need to shift the blame for losing on someone else and saying that the person who read cards for you is to blame.

I don't think a horoscope is going to help you if you're going to read it when placing bets. I see that more as pure superstition. There is no reason why a horoscope should be correct. And gamblers come in all shapes and sizes. What is little money to one person may be a fortune to another. Online gambling has undergone a revolution, I dare say. Good thing Corona is almost over, otherwise the gambling world would look a lot different. Also online. No income is no money and also means no gambling.

No, I do not have experienced this kind of gambling actually this is the first time I heard such kind of strategy in predicting the outcome of a fight.  So how precise is the prediction besides the example you gave us?  Does that guy has a 100% win in foretelling the possible outcome of the match? 

As much as I think it was coincidental, I am quite easily persuaded if you give more examples of the positive results of that guy's bet.


Horoscopes are predicted in a general manner, With millions of people with the same horoscope, it hopes to hit at least a few of these people matching their fortune telling.  I agree that it is all superstitious and doesn't have any connection to any result in gambling.  If ever the gambling result coincides with the horoscope, it is all coincidental.

I will admit that I have seen people do all kind of unusual things when it comes to gambling but I do not remember seeing something like what you are describing, I mean when someone looks at the different matches in which he may be interested on betting and they see some factors that make him decide in favor or against a team, such a thing makes sense to me, as we are talking about factors which directly impact the result of the match, but when someone looks at tarot cards or the stars to me predictions they are wasting their time as there is no direct relationship between those two factors and winning a sport bet.

I have no experience with Jersey numbers but I used to list down numbers that I often see in important events like in television or even read in the news. After that, I analyze which set of numbers are more appealing to me and bet them in gambling lottery. Sometimes, I even asked from those lottery experts in town to spare some lucky numbers hoping to win one of these days. But until now, I haven’t won significant amount in gambling but I keep on losing instead.

I've known that do the unusual trick as well but not specific to these jersey numbers but, I guess they also count.

The most common unusual trick that I've seen all of my life is all about the combination of birthdates and ages of the members of the family. If there's a number that do bet on the lottery, that's mostly the source where he'd be getting the number.

I've seen people hit it but not the jackpot.

This will always depend on the team that will play, and this kind of superstition might worth but still its not a guaranteed bet. This is still gambling and honestly, I won’t rely much on those horoscope since I focus on my own analysis and I really do my research before placing a bet, its just that there are so many surprises on this current world cup and we might continue to see more.

If bets are placed because of superstitious beliefs, they're not guaranteed. In fact, any bet isn't guaranteed a win. But it's fun to see how many do things and apply it to their bets. It's making our imagination go that far and we're connecting it with anything that we know of which is actually amazing.
It makes random thoughts become the source of our bets and how and why we'd pick those numbers.

Just don't take it too personally, I guess. There's no technical description about those that we can refer to since everything is unpredictable.

Coincidence or not, no Scientific or Mathematical explanation can explain why gamblers are having a good run using those kinds of "strategies".

Simply, if that is effective for them in the long run and consistently nailing some wins thru it, they will just keep on using it.

Well, each person has their own techniques to make their bets, some appeal to that, I don't know if you remember but Paul the octopus always gave very good predictions, and some players won a lot thanks to the blessed octopus, so these things can be taken into account as appropriate the faith of the player, in my case I would not be guided by something like that, I would only listen to what I think, analyze it and sometimes I cannot deny that emotions influence a person a lot, there are many people who believe in that about the horoscope , in the signs and in everything that has to do with the planets, space, they believe that everything happens for a reason and that reason has a cavity in it.

There must be numerous people following this strategy and when it hit home with one person world comes to know about it. For me, it's coincidence at best.

There is nothing wrong with this since it is our superstition and it won't affect others, so let's just respect it. But if we are only relying on the horoscope and not doing our analysis on the game, then that is wrong as we are not doing anything. The horoscope can make us confident and also attract luck on our bets. It is almost the same as having totems or any lucky charms that you would bring with you as you think that it can bring luck. However, whether we use it or not, we should do our own analysis for each bet so that our chances of winning increase and we are not solely reliant on those factors. 

I don't think that guy you've quoted disrespected your superstition, he's just simply pointing out his opinion regarding your beliefs.
IMHO, the only thing the horoscope or any lucky charm stuff could bring to you is the confidence because you think you're feeling lucky, when in reality is, luck doesn't choose sides. Regardless if you have lucky charm and stuff like that or not.
The most important thing in gambling is to analyze your bet and control yourself from betting excessively, especially when you start losing.

Most likely, I have observed this kind of strategy from those lottery bettors wherein they always remember numbers which repeatedly appear on television or news updates. Not just for jersey numbers alone but even any random number that has significantly involved from important news or events. However, some may work but mostly failed if they keep on relying from this strategy alone without good analytical skills.

Have heard of people waking up to go play draws on numbers they probably saw in their dreams while they were sleeping, and another where certain persons also place their belief on getting draws from mad persons on the streets (a situation where they buy food for the said mad man who in turn writes down numbers that would play draw on pool that very weekend), of which in most cases these numbers tend to play.
 But in my whole time as a gambler and even amongst my gambling friends I have never heard of gambling based on jerseys number sign due to how repeatedly they flash on TV. It's quite weird though but I understand that gamblers can pull out every strategy possible just to get winnings anyway!  No matter the strategy anyone uses, what really matters is winning's.

Yes I believe it will really works in lottery, sometimes I am thinking if how does the algorithm of the lottery works is it really pure random number? or when this certain amounts meets the requirements the most number of people bet that number it will be the winner, or maybe in our local gambling like ending where some sports like basketball is the subject of the play.

Some bettors based their number choices on what they see on television, random numbers that they saw somewhere, dates of their birthdays, and even numbers that were in their dreams. Others have different algorithms but they already consider that as their strategy. Some bettors actually bet with the same number all their lives and I see nothing wrong with that. Luck comes randomly so others apply their own beliefs and mantras.

There are many ways that lottery connoisseurs do this. they can do it in various ways, techniques, calculation formulas, some even relate it to astrology, astronomy by calculating months, they relate everything as described in this thread. there are also, based on dreams, someone can formulate them to produce numbers and then they combine them with their calculation method.

There are many phenomena like this, I don't know for out there. but in my country, this is commonplace, especially for lottery connoisseurs. when in fact, there is no definite formula for getting a number that makes them lucky. maybe, some people accidentally win the lottery from the results of their experiments, then they associate it with the methods they believe in. I'm not going to judge them, especially as long as they find it fun. it's just that, I prefer to analyze football matches rather than having to formulate numbers which I think are 99% uncertain.

Yes, I am not surprised and heard several times and even witnessed it myself in person with everything you said.
In the country where I live it is called a strategy in lottery betting to get the right lucky number with the number that will be issued by the dealer. Events like this are normal and have become a habit for lottery gambling enthusiasts.
But what really doesn't make sense is that of all the numbers that they get from dreams while asleep or from crazy people, there is a percentage of 80% of these numbers that are the same as the lottery numbers that come out. That's why many lottery gambling enthusiasts use this method to bet on lottery gambling.

It can happen, and I think it is a mere coincidence, but it could also happen because one dream can be a clue for us. But when it comes to gambling, I think that sometimes it doesn't make sense because just because of a dream, someone can have a sequence of numbers and buy a lottery ticket then he can win a big prize. But that's the magic of gambling that can give you wins and losses that we won't realize because many people have gotten both. Maybe it's strange for us, but not for people who often play gambling and get clues through dreams or seeing a certain line of numbers.

People who do this are usually desperate in winning something, hence they believe that every single number that they come across anywhere is a sign that they should bet on it or use it as a guide on their bets. Not that it's wrong in any way but it just defeats logic and gives people false hopes to people thinking that every single occurrence of a number anywhere will give them a win. This will surely push them into the corner and will, over time, lose them money. Well lotteries are a money sink anyway so there's that. But on other games? Better use some logic before locking a bet.

Pretty common in communities and countries suffering from poverty, or low quality of education. In the Philippines alone it is considered lucky to bet on the dates of your close relatives/children and spouse if there's any on the country's major lottery. They thought these numbers have a bigger significance than just being plain dates where their children were born, thid leads them to bet and bet until they finally win or they die, with the latter being the obvious case. It's a curse of having a pattern-loving brain like humans. Back then it allowed us to be safe in the wild, now these heuristics and biases hold us down by forcing us to cling upon correlation without causalities.

I believe a lot have such kind of belief connecting to certain events just like what you said, maybe birthdays of close family members.
It is sometimes the way of thinking that somehow affect their decision of betting on it, the belief that there's significance or connection on them.
However, if we will look at it logically, there's no such thing as connection but rather a coincidence if someone got lucky to hit those numbers.
Just like the jersey numbers, it is because the mind of some wanted to believe something for what is really not. They want to cling on such belief.

As for me this your question on number bet is a rhetorical question, because nthe answer is with you already. You know that  gambling is a personal race and it goes with luck, if a gambler uses one method to win games l, xbut that the same method can't be use to win by another unless you are in the same grace and faith of the person.

In my village I have seen gamblers used the different numbers on the Fiat currency to play gambling. They would bring out the currency fold it in their hand and asked the opponent to spell the number that is in the currency if you won you collect the bet. All those are lucky  game.

A very common gambler behavior on which we do touched up things and believe and stick into it on the time we do try something out and then i resulted some wins then we do really
fixate our mind to believe that it is really working until it would be shared up into other people and on the time they had tested it and turns out to be profitable and this is where it
would be shared up or simply it would circulate but honestly it is really just pure coincidences.We do know that on sports betting then it would be either
one losses and one do win which it isnt really just too far off for you to make up some wins in between choices.

This is something new for me, the truth is that a bet like this had not occurred to me, I do know that there are things like pyramids or things that are guided by important dates or even the dates of the day where they do the draw, but everything They are summarized in that they are mere influences due to associated beliefs and when people put a lot of faith in it, they may believe that they win for those reasons, although what I am seeing with its analysis function seems to me to be something correct, perhaps if they are done some settings could have a constant so that all the values are not variables or that if they are all variables it is more difficult.

Majority of the gamblers have found this to be new and were not like a strategy. Till now I had different meaning for strategy and looking upon the numerical strategy it seems to be completely superstitious belief. I've come across gamblers wearing particular colour dress, or gambling from a specific location and so on. Maybe after knowing this new strategy more gamblers will give a try.

You're right. There are people who are using a numbers connected from events of their lives to bet and usually it's for lottery thus this not new to me. But as you've said it's just a coincidence and it has no connection to the actual winning numbers. If you win using these numbers then good, but keep in mind that this strategy is not guaranteed and still depends on your luck if you're destined to win.

There is no dearth of such people at every level especially those who give more importance to various symbols and numbers to buy the lottery. I have seen many people who give importance to even number of lottery and many people give importance to odd or even number of lottery and sometimes they also give importance to the color of lottery. It is a personal matter. But even if it seems pointless in reality, we have nothing to mockery. Because I think it is suitable for him where he or she has faith.

My parents were also doing this if they saw numbers that they kepts seeing everywhere , it is some sort of a sign that you need to bet on this on lottery , even if they are just watching movies if they saw numbers they will bet on it as they want to try if it is working. I just remember before that my mother saw a number from the news after the elections she bet on that in lottery and the result is that she won! Though again it is just coincidence or luck those number but there is nothing wrong if we try it.

Numerous people following the strategy? How? Does this look like a strategy to you or gambling within gambling? This is not a strategy but a belief and it will mostly put the people that adopt it into trouble. After reading this thread, I started trying to be practicalizing it, but I realized I was foolish enough to be thinking like that. It will be a true coincidence if it works at times, but it would be one out of many outcomes that would be successful. So, it's not worth it.

They will continue to use the methods they have used before because they are comfortable with it. And we also can't suggest anything to them or maybe we can only say that sometimes it doesn't make sense and for the rest let them decide for themselves. And if they stick with it, we can only watch it while placing bets too, if we want. As long as we don't get into a fight with them over giving advice, we should be fine with them.

Following a strategy like that is just a waste of time, anyone doing this is just trying to create the illusion of control, because even if they happened to win by doing this it would have nothing to do with the strategy being effective and everything to do with just being lucky.

And if a strategy is still relying on the luck of the gambler in order to win, then they might as well just save their time and bet on whatever outcome they want and stop wasting their time.

May be wrong wording, I meant that there must be numerous people who must have followed this 'strategy' mentioned in op, and out of them all this Nigerian guy gets lucky and world comes to know about it. It's like survivorship bias.

Sometimes people who want to gamble whether betting on sports bets or gambling on lottery can lose their minds so that they do things or believe in things that are beyond reason and will do it over and over again when they can get a win because they think it is the right method even though it is just a coincidence.
In my area there are even those who will ask children who are not yet in school so they can only say random numbers and assume that it is a number that will give victory, strange but real.

Such weird number combinations are being used mostly by lottery gamblers, not by sports betting gamblers.
I haven't heard anything about this "gambling method", but I'm not surprised. Many gamblers try to find logic in places where there isn't any logic. Call it superstition or a "strategy", but at the end of the day, it's all about luck. The guy you mentioned was extremely lucky for once.
I bet a million dollars that the won't make any money with his future bets, by using this "jersey number" pseudo-strategy. ;D

So far, I have never tried this kind of gambling but it seems kind of fun. The only problem with it falls on the probability of winning due to it being random. Well, you could argue that it does follow the spirit of gambling, I would rather bet on the sports itself than the jersey numbers.

Personally, I would maybe attempt to try this kind of gambling but I would not make it as my regular game. Maybe others have experienced this type of gambling in some other games and application but I would not dare to make this as my regular game.

The guy was only lucky, but gambling is luck. What I do not use to take in sport gambling is draw, I prefer to go for win or lose. Instead of taking draw, I can just go for win or draw with smaller odds. But in my own way, I have to analyse a match before selecting the players, I do not just because of no analytical reasons select a team to just win, I follow analyses and not that kind of strategy.

First time I am hearing about a gambling strategy based on jersey numbers  :D sounds fun to be honest, but I wouldn't take it serious. Does he just focused on numbers he saw on the streets the most and bet on these jersey numbers then? So if he did it 5 years ago it was probably a one time strategy and he is not going to repeat it all the time. Or if he does he didn't win big again? To me it sounds a bit like randomness, the same could happen if you pick random numbers of a long period of time. Eventually there is going to be a big win. Another explanation could be that the players who pick their jersey numbers go very superstitious like 3, 6, 9 or 13. These numbers we would see a lot on TV and in real life as people believe they are lucky numbers why itself. I would not be placing large amounts of money on such kind of bets, they seem like fun but long term will probably not lead to a good results. We should rather place bets on the strength of the players and not their jersey numbers.

Sometimes draw happen especially on boxing match so even if we don't like it this one occur especially if both fighter show some good performance inside the ring. Also same as you I always analyze the player or the team before I go bet because its really hard to say we get an advantage even if we bet on top team if we didn't check any injury status or even availability of their star player(on other sports).

A draw is not uncommon in boxing because it is usually due to the score card, and it is also uncommon to win in this type of situation because most of us bet on the most powerful, or the one with an advantage, but there are still people who bets on a draw and the odds on winning on it are higher. But whatever the sport, no matter how strong the team or person we bet on, there are still days that they will lose, even if we check if there are injuries or anything else, so we should bet with caution, but again, losses in sports betting are really part of the gambling. Let's just bet what we can afford to lose, and if we lose, then we need to move on.

As davis196 said, people who gamble on lottery numbers often find such numbers which actually make sense. Because the winning numbers in lotteries are random 0 to 9, and they might match with someone's jersey number, license plate number or phone number.

For example, this 43-year-old woman who gambled on her old car's license number got lucky and won $50k.

Source (https://www.indiatimes.com/trending/jugaad/woman-uses-car-license-plate-number-and-wins-rs-40-lakh-lottery-578863.html)

But, I believe it is foolish to speculate about the outcome of the match based on the jersey numbers of the players IMO. As it has nothing to do with numbers it is totally dependent on both teams performance.

Boxing is one of sport which draw is really rare to happen, also the odds isn't really that high. If you want to bet draw result, football is better choice since there's many matches ended draw and the odds is quite high too. Analyze the player and the injury status is important, but you need to look on the league that they're playing and also look the points they got. I recall on the previous World Cup during group phase, Brazil was intentionally lose to Cameroon since Brazil already secure their place and they're not let their star players to play on that matches.

This could happen but does not fully imply that every correlated number in a given game will show up as a draw number. I do believe in a strategy like this, but not entirely in the sense that it can be called a lucky number. As for the dealer's behavior in assigning lottery numbers, it's clear that the odds are related. How to say it is just an activity like leak rate or some kind of numbers game.

This strategy is more difficult and most people will definitely miss it. After all lottery numbers are more precisely related to luck.

This is strange-sounding. In all the years I've bet on sports, I haven't even run into one person who believes this or performs this kind of analysis.
According to the OP's account of the man who bet them on a draw, this is nothing more than a coincidence and an act of pure chance.
But after this, I'll start paying close attention to football analysis to see if I can pick out somebody who shares this outlook or conviction.

I think that was his own strategy Which he discovered and it worked, but funny enough that might have been the very first time it worked out for him that way because everyone has his own ways of trying out luck, but am very sure his kind of strategy is not common and might not be acceptable as well by most gamblers except for those that are used to playing lottery, i think this kind best work for that and not on football gambling.

It may sound strange to most people who rarely associate with people who like lottery gambling. therefore, we cannot compare it to betting on sports. in the world of lotteries, practices like this are commonplace in various regions in any country. to the best of my knowledge there is no analysis like we do in sports betting.

But in the lottery world there is such a thing as a formula, calculations to produce numbers that will later become their bets. we can just assume, this is nothing more than a coincidence but for those who are fond of things like this is not only related to luck. although, I'm not very up on it myself on the concepts like the Op described in this thread. Unlike football betting, which is easy for us to understand, it's not as complicated for us to analyze. but this is the world of gambling, there is a lot of diversity.
