Gambling and Superstition

[Casabrandy]

People might believe superstitioun if coincidence happens too often and there sre emotions involved that can cloud ones judgement Deep down we know its nonesense but we want to believe so badly in something so we fool ourselves.

Maybe emotions are involved on some gamblers that's why they believed in superstition. That's why they cant distinguished what is luck and superstition for them. But they all noted that's its all superstition that gave them the winnings not luck or randomness.

Till the day they win they believe that superstition has given victory. The day when they fail the curse will be over the superstition. This is the common nature of human mind. This will not change until their mind accepts that what needs to happen was prewritten. Some say it as fate.

well no matter what will happen its just luck will bring you wins, superstition is just inside the minds of who believes in
but no addition just pure luck who gives things to happen.

It depends on what,how and ,when we play
WHAT- specifically what you want game, is it dice,roulette or slots which depends on luck sometimes, poker in skill and other games in experience.
HOW- does we play with knowledge of how to play it ,or we just play. We need to know the basics on playing what we play ,does it requires skill or experience or just pure luck.
WHEN - did we just play for fun in that day so our mind is in focus of playing, or we just play for we need money at the moment so where too pressured to play. Thus lucky feeling is on us that day.

Its not just luck in other games but most of the gambling games depends on luck too.

Had a friend actually who used to be too much superstitious with his gambling techniques. Whenever he made any bets, he always put his left hand on his cheek and sit in the same posture and watch the whole game until he wins the bet and that's the most stupid thing I have ever seen in someone, I mean how could someone be so deeply involved in gambling in association with such silly superstitions?

That weird. But let him be because of what he believes in. If he won, then its luck not superstition. I also have a lot of friends who believes in superstitious but I just don't say anything to them because I might hurt their emotions. But there are times that I can't really control it, and just laugh at them specially if they loss believing in superstition.

Superstition are thing of tradition and I  don't think it has any thing to do with your success rate in gambling. Gambling is a games of chance because you either make it or lose it. If the gods of gambler is on your side your tents to success effortlessly but if it is against you? You will continuously losing.

it's just funny to see someone do it repeatedly , a lot of people doing that out there looks stupid but yeah let it go , you would get nothing to give them any advice lol it's same like when you have got addicted to gambling , something that doesn't makes any sense could always be the reason to do anything for them. logically doing any ritual would have no influence .

Nope I don't really believe in those kind of things,
I just think it is gambling is just about luck.

Success rate and superstition has nothing to do specially in gambling. Some have positive effect using superstition as reason for their success, while others that lose don't blame anyone, they can only blame themselves. But if someone believe in superstition like wore their favorite shirt, then still lost, then who to blame to? Of course, they will blame it in the old believe that superstition rather than blaming themselves.

I don't believe in those kind of things for me gambling is just a game of luck,
You don't have to blame your superstitious beliefs about your lost or the profit that you gain.

Yes, gambling is luck. By definition.

If there is ever certainty to gambling, well it's not gambling.

But it is very easy for people to develop superstitions because they see "patterns" they do not exist at all.

For example, they think that having 10 reds means that the next roll is definitely going to be green. But in fact mathematically that is wrong. Your 11th bet has the exact same probability of being green than your first bet.

Oh, and the richer you are, the more supertitious you are. Sometimes superstition isn't a bad thing. It allows you to take risks that you wouldn't have taken if there was no supersitition. But definitely not good when used on gambling.

Believing and being a superstitious have both advantage and disadvantage .It doesnt mean its is bad thing as it will only be a bad thing if your superstition result is bad but if it is good as tou earn from your beliefs its good .Supertition is not only present in gambling there are many supertition around that many people believe .

Nothing will be lost if you believe just make sure suoertition bring good outcome in your life .

Mostly, people who believes in superstitious are losing, it will not help actually when you are gambling regularly, no escape the fact that every gamblers are losers in the long run. Of course this will only apply to games with house edge, skilled based games needs skills and one can win over the other if he is good enough.

Gambling is definitely a luck not a supertition that you will be winning spontaneously. It is truly a luck because you gamble by fun to entertain you. It is a gambling that you might lose some you might win some as simple as that.

We just need to respect those gamblers that are also believing in superstitions. But I want to disagree with you, gambling is not just a luck dependent, we know that there are some games that are like that but not all the time it is. There are games that needs skills and others are believing that when backing up with some beliefs that can be more effective.

Totally right it depends on what game,
And also we need to respect what other players believe.

I grew up on a very superstitious culture and just accepted it as a part of life. What I can't accept is that letting superstitions dictate on how you do  things on your life, like gambling. You are relying your money on something unreliable,not really good for your wallet. But i get it, we can't help ourselves to believe that certain actions lead us to winning some cash. It's good but it also fucks with your psyche and concentration when you forgot to do your superstition and it leaves you wrong-footed and distracted, therefore making you prone to lose in gambling. I do not really do superstitions in gambling but I can't say that it doesn't have its uses but in the long run, it's luck with a little bit of skill and common sense that will win us the prize.

[noictib]

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?  

In reality I don't believe in any supertitious  , it is because in the very beginning I was thinking that there exists some lucky things for ever person but when I tried every thing in the Gambling with my lucky number (.That is 8 ) , so here you should be practical and try to see that  the reality is not based upon any type of numbers , atleast it is not profitable thing for our gambling life .
So here I will suggest you to keep your single time earned bitcoin in your wallet instead tp again play gambling , Because your supertitious power will not every time  help you .

It looks like you are talking about poker because other types of gambling don't really need your concentration and the state of your psyche doesn't have much of effect on the outcome. I think to have superstitious beliefs is bad for you in general, like you said, because it makes you even more confused then you are. I think we should rely on our skills not on superstitions, but also we shouldn't forget that without luck no skills will help us to win in gambling.

Why other such types of gambling doesn't need any concentration psychologically? In few games, we need to concentrate over the analysis of the player/team we are betting on, and in others like dice, we still need our concentration levels to be high because we might press the button wrongly and it may hurt if we lose. Being superstitious doesn't mean that anyone would be too much concentrative into what they have bet, but many things come into this. I have seen people not even watching the games they bet on, just because they think that if they would watch, the team/player might lose the match and they may lose the bet.

Well based on my experience and based on what i know there are certain individual bwho are very superstitious with regards to gambling they have this superstitious belief with regards with specific date and day, color of dresses or clothes to wear, money to use when betting from where it came from and to some individual they don't really applied superstition in gambling activities.

Are you one of those people? That's kind of a freaky gambling method, I am sure that it would scare some of the regulars.
