Gambling and Superstition

[neochiny]

I think its called gamblers fallacy not superstition, superstition is something else. Fallacy is something you think would help you in a good way if you do it, whereas superstition is something you believe you shouldn’t do otherwise something bad may happen.

Might be because most of the superstitions are to ward against unlucky/evil things?
There are some that lean towards the positive as well. There are some that, when you do or see something in a certain situation then lucky or good things would happen.
Like, from my place:
You unexpectedly get two egg yolks when you break an egg then you'd be lucky for the day. Or,
During new years, place some coins on your windows sills then money would flow in for the year. Or
When you dream about numbers then those are lucky numbers and you'd win on the lottery/bets.

People.are only superstition with gambling because it's the only way they believe they will win when really it's just about pure luck. There is nothing anyone can do to win but it doesn't hurt to try and if you have a special lucky coin or necklace I say wear it !! As long as it makes you feel good. It's not so much about whether it's true or not but more about belief.

Superstition is based on their beliefs and there culture.And I considered that superstition is working sometimes like lucky charm that give you a good mood.

agree.. i dont think everyone believe in supertitions. you have a point that sometimes it depends on ones culture. just like some chinese. they have this part of their culture and  beliefs that if you want to be lucky, you have to have these lucky charms or bracelette to wear. so i guess some of them tries these lucky charms in gambling.

It's not that bad if gamblers are going to believe in superstition and there's nothing to lose if they will not believe on it. And what you have been said is a mere fact that we had our very own way of believing which depends on us if that can help us to grow with our gambling career, then just continue it.

Gambling is indeed gives us an advantage, and also things that always make us fortunately is yourself. So what you say is very true, a gambling career depends on those who do. Gambling comes from the moral conditions and self control, if they have good self control then the profits will most likely you've always got. Because it is without self control is good then all of the strategies that we use is of no use
 

It will give us advantage if we are always very fortunate with it but we know that not all the time we are always happy with it. It is why we do such crazy beliefs just to make sure that we can win on a certain gambling game and there's nothing bad with it as long as you aren't hurting and affecting other gamblers.

There is no good in gambling unless if you are rich and you are just halving fun in gambling.. the other people are addicted that can affect their own life or financial problem result..
Self control for addicted gambler it takes too much time before they can relief this time of sickness but if they had a willingness to quit halving vacation far in gambling casino can help you to prevent and slowly stop gamling..

The only good thing there is once you won and that is going to give you satisfaction, it's all about money and satisfaction, we can't deny it. And it is why many gamblers are thinking of strategies and ways of earning there. They/we believe in different forms of action, superstitious belief because we think that we will be making money there.

you have to accept that people will always have different opinion , some people always want to be realistic and ignore everything smells like supertition or any other non sense things and just believe on something that they can prove and see it clearly .

but yes it should not be a big problem whether you believe it or not , the debate are not necessary.

I respect all gamblers that has their very own belief and opinion. It's good to see that there are gamblers that are becoming lucky and believes that is because of their superstition belief. I don't have any against them, as long they are experiencing good result with it and it helps them to have good amount of winning, that's fine.

lol of course it should not be a problem at all , a realistics people just questioning about that non sense faith and sometimes mocking on it. just a fun thing i guess when you believe on some ritual could give you a win , and especially it looks working well.

the realistic one will prefer to gamble on sports or maybe just stake randomly on random games.

I don't believe in superstitious because it is not a guarantee that you will always win if you have your favorite shirt on. Maybe its just a coincidence that you won and have your shirt because if you try to wear that again 1 out of 5 you will lose and will lost more. I think people believe in them like chance, coincidence and luck because it has fascinated both professional and recreational gamblers alike.

Gambling and superstition are entirely different. We should not relate them, because gambling is just based on algorithmic calculations and prediction resulting on winning and failure depending upon the luck one holds. Superstition is something out of the world controling us, which never happens with gambling.

That's the real explanation but there are people who really believe in superstitious especially the older people, I have witness that because my dad does not go in cockfighting when the moon is not full, so it is really existing. However, it's different in dice since it's pure algorithm and we know already that they have an house edge so in the long run we will still lose, and we cannot complain on that.

I didn't meet not a single gambler who didn't believe in superstitions. People try to get odds and hunts from many stupids things in real life just to get winning stakes. Gambling and superstitions go together in hands in hands though many people deny to recognize that they also do believe in this. When I was doing gambling I went through similar situations many times.

According to some experts superstition can increase luck, or can change your aura to possitive. One of the most superstitious character I know is midorima ( In kurokos basketball ). My mom and my grandfather believes in superstition but in gambling I think statistics, mathematics, experience, and intuition plays a more greater role in winning.

Yes they are entirely different but there are people that are applying superstitious belief before they gamble. It's like before you gamble you will wear red t-shirt and jeans to become lucky. That's the point of superstition, it's not about comparison but showing the relevance of those people that are believing in superstitions as a gambler.

Well for me its all in your mind. Being superstitious inngambling makes you confident about playing whereas you can also be like that even if you're not superstitious if you just condition your mind to be like that. Though i don't see anything wrong with it, i don't think it affects the result at all

Alas!!! I have found someone who understands that gambling and superstitious go hand and hand. I saw a lot of members here saying that they don't believe in superstition. But I think most of them didn't know that at one time or another, they apply superstition in betting without knowing it. Like picking their birthdate to put in a lotto is already superstition per se. And I'm not saying its a guarantee for you to win if believe in it, what I'm trying to drive at is that you have something to lean on like you are invincible and because of that positive attitude you attract aura or an intangible energy that helps so in a winning mode.

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? 

While I will admit there is a relationship between gamblers and superstition, the truth is superstition is everywhere, one of my female friends has this crazy idea that a particular outfit gives her luck with the guys so when she really wants a guy she wears that outfit, but that does not have any real effect except maybe a psychological effect on herself.

I don't have any superstitions but I do set rules for my trading such as I set an amount that I'm willing to bet with each week. This is more of an effort to keep from spending all of my money.

Very true but superstition has engulfed some of our generation and they attribute every happenings around them as having connection with something out of this earthly realm.

That's a funny story mate  Maybe its psychological as you have mentioned and just coincidence as well. It really depends on the individuals background perhaps on why people believe in superstitious like the OP. Maybe he was brought up to believe in it while others see it as completely rubbish to begin with. No offense meant to the OP or his family.

You're right there is no wring for being a superstitious gambler if you have a proper mind towards in everything what you do. A too much superstitious gamblers is not a good thing for the effect of being to confident like to continue betting in winning events that many results in losing all of the profit and develop greediness in mind.

[bitcoinisbest]

Not really because being superstitious is the one mindset that me be fit in, thought it may not actually the case be. It could be coincidence that wearing or doing same thing you may win but sometimes you also lose in that like wearing same tshirt, or playing at same casinos and same counter etc.
