Gambling and Superstition

[blockman]

Me and my family do believe most of the time in superstitious but right now when we are getting wiser with the usual ways. And with gambling, I still manage to believe with it just like with lucky numbers, on what day is the best day to gamble. What do I need to wear to be lucky, just like Chinese believes for wearing polka dots.

If you think your clothes are bringing you luck than i suppose you are wearing the same lucky clothes every time you gamble and you are winning all the time, right? 
And how many times did lose when you had your "lucky clothes" on?

I don't want to mention on how many times did I lose with my so called lucky clothes because I can't even count them all. I don't know why I keep on believing with this thing though it's proven that it doesn't have something to do with winning. Well we are really influenced with our Chinese relatives about this matter.

If you think that superstition will help you in gambling I suggest you stop immediately and don't gamble at all. These so called premonitions have made people lose millions of dollars in casinos. I have seen in person in a casino where a couple of middle age 40-50 years were saying this will be our lucky spin and they kept losing until they lose all of their money. The sum were about 17.500 dollars if I remember correctly. Superstition is only a way to lie to yourself and cannot help anyone in gambling.

how we cannot be sure about our luck same way we cannot be sure about superstitions will work all the times. But people to believe on superstitions will maximize the possibility of being lucky that is the reason they are following superstitions and they are pushing their luck to come and work for them to find profits in gambling. Not just in gambling I believe people are using superstitions everywhere.

That is right to say, people are following superstitions everywhere so they just come as per your point why not for gambling also ?

When gambling is all about luck then superstition is a method of finding our lucky day, why not we use superstition to make a day as a lucky day. Similar to luck factor, people switching over to different superstitions every day when they are not finding one of their beliefs is not working.

Being superstitious is actually very dangerous in gambling field because people just become too lazy and they bet on those predictions given by people.

Being superstitious is of two kinds two like one is before I make a bet I will just pray to god, which is not bad at all, while one is that before I bet I will give one third of money to donation which as it does sounds is horrendous. Don't laugh guys I have seen some people who pay some "astrologers" like 10% of their earnings they make in an year.

l agree that superstition cannot help anyone in gambling if it is your luck it is your lucky day but if not then it is now.
Just do not risk too much of it so it will not be regret in your part if you lose big amount of it. Gambling is fun and risk. Take as much risk as you can afford to lose.

Lots of players are praying before they bet, and i bet the other side is praying too.

while one is that before I bet I will give one third of money to donation which as it does sounds is horrendous.

Wow, you raised superstition to next level where you donate money before you even bet
EDIT* don't get me wrong, donations are great, but your reason is wrong.

Don't laugh guys I have seen some people who pay some "astrologers" like 10% of their earnings they make in an year.

Also if you ask astrologer who will win between to teams who are not even playing against each other I am sure you will get answer on who to place bet

I believe in luck while gambling but i am not superstitious. Wearing same tshirt doesn't make any sense, you need to be lucky to win some good amount in gambling and also you have to cashout at right time after winning, if you continue you will loss all at end.

But wearing that t-shirt if gives you a special feeling of winning and ultimately a positive energy and attitude which is very good to have in gambling. While I also never believe these things but sometime they seem to work like when I gamble against one of my friend I loose always while against another I mostly win, and yes I take same choice almost everytime ( sports betting )

That's correct and now the price of bitcoin is getting higher and it will be much higher in future so instead of wasting bitcoins in gambling its better to save them for future as now we cannot afford to loose even a small part of bitcoins.

A lot of gamblers grossly misunderstand the concept of probability and its relation to gambling, such as the belief that if they have lost a couple of times they're more likely to win the next or vice versa.  I find that some even believe the opposite, that they can have a "lucky streak" and that if they keep going they can keep winning, but what they don't understand is that the house will always win in the end no matter how big their wins are so they need to pull out as soon as they start for their own good and not take their wins in the short term as evidence for the future.

i think these are just the supposition and there is no reality about this. most of the addicted gamble consider different activities or material as good or bad for their gambling result but i do not think there there is any reality.

Believing superstitions is good but to an extent, I mean if you just gamble all your money because some "pundits" ask you to.

You should use your own brain and intelligence to determine whether it's worth to bet on that.
I have seen a lot of pundits in my county who even have an accurancy of 90% in sports betting, but actually they themselves are not in profits overall so how they can help you ?

I would probably focus on developing my skills than finding my luck, I'm not a superstitious guy because I live in the present world and I only believe on what I saw except believing in God even if I do not see him. What is more important is the statistics and the trend and all the information you can read as that is your only basis and your key to be successful in gambling.

There is nothing wrong in having some superstition while you are playing gambling. Although on the other hand this may lead to other gambler to be disappointed when the result are not from their expectation

Actually, when we have superstition in gambling and if sometime we win behalf of our superstitions than we apply this superstition in every matter of life. So in this way, it make our life difficult. So better is that avoid these things and play gambling with like a good gambler.

This is true we do apply it connected to everyday living when we do believe a particular thing specially on playing gambling if you saw it worked you will surely repeat and believe that thing all over again which you would create your own belief because you already experienced that it works for you. I can't say it's prohibited to follow but it's better not to be dependent on those beliefs at all.

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? 

Lol this doesn't matter when im playing it will not tell your fortune because of this not because you choose your favorite number does not mean you're going to win the game. It will based on how you played the game and how you will use strategies on this how if you don't own car? and your single in life no family? Hows that? Lmao

You cannot be certain of superstitions to be used as your reference on gambling as your signs for winning because, in reality lucky winning is coming from your real ability to win with the gameplay. You must be experienced enough to play with your favorite betting games in order to be skilled and build a knowledge and not relying on the superstitions which you believed for a long time, that is not helpful for us.

that is kind of an obvious statement in my opinion but that never stops gamblers from going for any kind of superstitions. you see many people do many different and strange things for their "luck" to come to them. and they never have any explanation for it. and since gambling is all about luck and randomness, it sometimes work and sometimes don't so they never are sure.

and what you are saying about the skills, is only true about certain number of games and not all of them. and it is rare and hard to do so. and also in the end those games are also depending on luck.

how can a supertition makes your life difficult? lol it wasn't the reason.

supertition just another thing makes the game more attractive , some people believe on some ritual before play a game as it could always bring them a luck. soundslike wasting time indeed , but when it works , your happiness get doubled. nothing wrong with it i think.

No!  Superstition should not be relied upon when making decisions.  If the superstitious acts, such as wearing the same shirt, has no effect on the decision making process then the acts can be entertaining; however, such acts may precipitate a false sense of confidence which may effect the decision making process in a subconscious manner.  Unbiased thinking and logical reasoning seem to be the safest way to gamble.
