Gambling and Superstition

[SaShiRaJaVu]

I am not a religious or a superstitious person and i do not bother all these things,so i do not care about all these things and i have not being to a real life casino and even if you are really into superstition that doesn't change your luck and if you are meant to bust you will be busting no matter how careful you are.

Superstitions don't matter. Probability does.

I think all gamblers are superstitious to a point. Maybe not the extreme you are. But i do certain things the same way. I have a friend that before he sits to play at a table he paces back and forth 10 times and won't play at any table that has a odd umber of people playing.

Well, if you heavily trust your luck, then you are superstitious. I don't think in this way you will be able to succeed in gambling, in the long run we will lose if we will not adjust our method though. Matured gamblers does not think that way, they are more concern on how to improve their technique so it could bring them a long term success, which I believe every gambler is aiming.

Yeah i think so too. Gamblers who believe in superstition for me are those that are not too experienced yet. If you've been gambling fir a long time already, i think you'd learn thst these pre gambling ceremonies or beliefs won't be of any help. If you're lucky that day then you're lucky, thats it. Luck is pretty much a random thing and theres nothing we can actually do about it

[bering]

most of people in the world still believe that because they believe number 13 will bring bad luck and superstition and gambling i think for those who still live at 3rd countries still believe superstition and even in the some countries they will visiting psychic before starting gambling to clean the bad things that exist on them and usually there will be things that are prohibited if they do not want to lost but i personally do not believe it

You have more knowledge in games, and you will play all games technically then you will not believe this type of Superstition and all. You will play based on your skills, and if you lose any bet, you will think how to win next bet. But those who have Superstition most of the people will play blindly they will not believe there bet they believe in Superstition.

Exactly, skills is very important as that would help us achieve a long term winning rate. Being superstitious is not bad, so long we are still doing what it needs to be done, and that is to be smart in making a good technique to win in the long run. When you are busy improving your technique, you will forget about luck and being superstitious as you will feel your effort had paid you.

I just wanna know if you guys are supertitious when playing or gambling?

I will admit I'm very supertitious when going to a land based casino.
1. I choose the number of parking slot that I will park. Usually it should have my favorite number 111,777 etc.
2. I don't want to wait for someone if he or she is going to go with in the casino.
3. I wear the same shirt that I won big.

And a lot more..

How about you? are you sepertitious? 

No, I don't believe in superstitious belief, it is only a garbage for me that we inherent to our ancestors. And superstitious had no connection in gambling. gambling is just a game where you are able to play only.

I like to make my bets at the same time as my last winning bet.

Say I win big at 9:25:52 AM today, I would try to bet again at 9:25:52 AM tomorrow.

Just in case the RNG is related to the clock time due to bad coding.

Superstitions don't matter. Probability does.

Indeed this is true but I have seen people who can predict very rightly things and actually I am not talking about sports only but also in real life.

Anyways I don't want to discuss that here .. I think being superstitious helps you in more ways than we think of like being superstitious means that we are never gonna let down in gambling, even after a 1 btc loss we would believe that we can recover.

While a guy who knows that odds is what all matters might give up too soon .. though sometimes its better too because being hopeful can lead to serious loss.

Nice idea, but.. after a few tries I guess you will find out that it is not badly coded. I do not believe in many superstitions, I know there are many out there but I don't believe all of them. I know about the itchy palms and stuff and I trust them because they always worked for me but I don't think the one you said is a superstition

But what's the problem in being a little superstitious and believing more in ourselves than just siting ideally and making bets knowing that I will loose, I will loose and actually end up loosing. Its better to believe something that to become dejected and giving up.

We all know we are gonna die some day yet we trust God, why ? Because these superstitious things give us hope and required attitude to live.

Well there is nothing wrong about being supertitous,
But for me I don't believe in those kind of things,
Like being lucky or unlucky because of your belief.

I have seen people playing roulette and slots talking to the machines like they were alive or they decide their destiny, there is some superstition in gambling for sure.

[Aamir1]

if you are destined to lose then that is going to happen in any way, and if you are gonna win someday so you will win no matter what you wear or what you do.

But I am the one, believing in to superstitions which will support me to find out and maximize my lucky moments so that I will be having some profits.

In other words I believe in superstitions will bring luck and it will change my destiny. Maybe I am completely wrong still I believe into this all the times and not just for gambling. Even for my works, I look for some lucky things so that I will not get big troubles.

You know, there are people in the world who believe in such things, but it is not important that what they get is because of all these, but they are actually going to get them anyway, but just because they do these things and then they win or get something so they start thinking that it was because of that. And that is where the belief gets stronger.

Yup, there are people who are doing that, a friend of mine is doing the same, when he is betting on roulette, he even pointing on the ball on his desktop and seems like wants to point the direction of the ball to the highest hit his bet could win. It's funny to look at them but guess what, they are sometimes winning. I believe that those superstition they are following makes them positive minded when betting.

Haha. I also have a friend who always do that. She is talking to the slot machine and kissing the screen. And sometimes she is like making the sign of the cross and praying that the gods of gambler will give her windfall.

[abonarea]

The number of people believing in superstition is very big especially it is seen very often in gambling community. I have seen in people trying to reach at correct odd through various practices by looking at numbers of cars,counting number of building or even from taking help from starts through astronomy. I personally don't believe in such things and relay on statistics and chances more.

[Junko]

It's bad luck to be superstitious.

Seriously though, when it comes to gambling I don't "believe" in superstitions per se, but I do indulge/take part in some just for the fun it.

For example, at a real life casino craps table, you are never supposed to say the word "seven" after the come out roll. If a roll of the dice hits someone's stack of chips, that means a roll of seven is imminent soon, so people will hold back on adding new bets and even take their odds bets down/turn them off. And my favorite, the female virgin roller. A female who has never rolled before is supposed to bring extra good luck to the table when she shoots for the first time. When a virgin roller is announced, the chips and bets come a'flying at the table.

For me, gambling superstitions are just fun. Some people take superstitions seriously, but who cares. Better than those who pray to their god to help them win in gambling. As if their god has nothing better to do than to enable some degen gambler. lol
