Gambling and Superstition

[peter0425]

I believe in superstition and try to wear those clothes in which I had big winnings and it sometimes works. Perhaps superstitions do work or it's just a strong auto-suggestion.

Gambling works like this - sometime you win, sometimes you lose(more often).
You are saying you wear the same clothes and it sometimes works - logically, because as I said sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
Now, try try to stand on left foot every time you are gambling, i am sure you will sometimes win.

yeah thats correct, we cannot win at all in many times we are going to lose too, we cannot exclude our self from losing but what is important is that we are being trained in many aspects and experiences in life. we are going to be a well trained and skilled gambler, dont follow superstitions it may only fools you, thats the reality.

More likely you will always lose in gambling. And no amount of superstitions will shift the tide on you. Maybe it was just a coincidence that he won because he worn the same lucky shirt but it will not work all the time. Strategy and luck will bring you good results and not superstitions. Only those person that got lucky and thinking superstitions has to do with it will likely lose more than people who are thinking logically in gambling. If you continue to lose eventhough you wear your favorite shirt, will you still continue to gamble wearing it again and again? Logic dictates you should stop from believing but for people who are really deep in their believe in this fallacy, will continue to go on.

Superstitions have nothing to do with your loss or win. If someone has a belief that wearing a blue shirt will earn him some luck on the day, then it is just as worthless as saying about the black cats or the number thirteen. Gambling could only prove to be beneficial if you are really having some luck on your side. Strategies and meaningless beliefs could only bring you a harm and wont’ be valuable in any sense .But in the end, all I have to say is that if you are very much into all this, then it might not be possible for you to favor logics against superstitions.

Lol you have some strange superstition. I guess though that is what superstition is, something strange. I have no superstition at all. Sometimes i feel like a certain situation is bringing me luck but then i remind myself such things don't exist.

What makes you believe in these things or follow through with them ? Probably not fun ? Surely it is out of desperation ?


I think for some it's funny little quirks like blowing on the dice. They know it does nothing but they do it anyway.

Haha! Superstitions have now become a strategy for most of the gamblers. Many people think this way that gambling could end up in winning huge amounts if some sort of strange thing happens to them. It is same as choosing lucky numbers or wearing a specific color to invite luck to your side.  in my opinion, superstitions have no realities and are only a matter of belief of a person. Gambling only proves to be a useful way of earning if you really are lucky rather than just blowing on the dice or crossing your fingers.

Believe in superstition doesn't mean automatically you will get a guarantee to win.
People just looking for an excuse , to blame which one factor that makes you win or lost.
And superstition things be their choice , sometimes it is really doesn't makes any sense.

For me, superstitions is really just a total excuse if you have win or lose. I have seen a lot of gamblers throughout my gambling life and those I meet that believed in superstitions, is only pointing at it as a attempt to lessen the blame attaching to or seek to defend or justify their action. And besides, we all know that it has no bearing to the outcome of the game or the result, so believing it is just pure nonsense.

Yeaaa people just cannot blame themselves , they always feel mad when looking for an excuses.
Think that it was not the day they should play , it is because they wearing a wrong shirt color etc.
But at least they feel happy doing that lol , indeed you should not take it as a serious matter  just take it easy and ejoy every single moment in gambling.

Well, he has set his mind like a superstition, So it is hard for him to left all these type of things in a second. But we should see the right things and i am agree with you, that in gambling we win sometime and sometime we lose. It is a game, gambling has no connect with our shirt or extra something of superstition.

You will see the world turning around you the way you put your belief in it. Miracles happen when you believe in miracles so is the case with superstitious people. However, he cannot change himself in moments or maybe he does not even want to. Still, gambling is a pure luck. There is always same probability of winning and losing and that is 0.5.

I think that's all a matter of perspective based on how you view it as effective or motivating beliefs, although miracles seldom happens to random people but i think it was just a mere coincidence that so called miracles normally result to everyone's life here on earth. So in that case of superstitious belief from people who option to have their lucky charms, just let it be and I know time will make them realize that everything was just a worthless practices. Everything is only lucky chances and not a reliability to expect as certain wins will happen always, because the possibility of success on gambling bets was on 1% out of 100% most of resulted to investment losses.

On the contrary, those believing on superstitions will keep on believing on it eventhough they incurred a lot of losses. It already deeply rooted as part of society and now matter what, they will still stays with that belief. They will not realized that is a worthless practice. They are all stubborn, and the more you try to make they realized that this is a mistake, the more they will argue with you and even shows you proof that it is true. But for most of us who thinks, logically, superstitions has nothing to do with our winning or lossing, its luck on a particular moment that bring us good or bad results in the end.

Well its their lives anyway. And not all superstitious beliefs have negative effects as there are people who avoid gambling already belieiving in bad omens. So it really goes both ways and a person should own to whatever he believes or not

Gamblers will really do anything to influence their luck. But yet it was not proven that superstitions can really bring good luck to us. But for me, It's all about time and timing and the luck of the game. Superstitions had become a basis for future gambling sessions. If the player has won, he looks at what happened during his winning session. This is where a player may decide that a clothing or some other activity was 'responsible' for their good fortune. Likewise if a player loses, he will look to see what may have caused his misfortune and will try to avoid it in future gambling session as well.

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?  

Apart from superstition i hate gambling. It is addictive like drugs and alcohol it will reduce you to ashes. But there are addictive games that do not involve money so maybe a good alternative.

What are those addictive games that doesn't involve? If that is all about play money or free trials, then it is not gambling. As gambling means about wagering of money and doing some bets. And that's why people are striving to have different beliefs, following a lot of superstitions and at the end of it, nothing new is happening.

I think superstition is a way for people to try to find win/loss patterns in gambling.

They try to recreate circumstances identical to instances when they won a game.

This is where lucky charms and other things come from.

The frightening thing about gambling may be there is no way to recreate a win.

There are no patterns and every case is completely different.

[BillCoin]

Well I do have my lucky shirt that I take it everywhere to any kind of event or meeting that is important to me.
I even took it to a date with my crush it went off pretty well.
I  think that it doesn't really matter what you are wearing during gambling but I do it to be more confident with myself.

[tabas]

Superstition is more of a belief like, what day to gamble, what clothes to wear to have more chance of winning. And we humans are creative in so many ways and each of our moves we think that it is depending on superstitions, this only applies to those people who are believing with it. But there will be people that doesn't believe on this thing.

Yes, this is all based on the belief that happens with different users. Very few users prioritize superstition than the skills and the strategy for gambling in a better way and get the profit through winning. Here few people get a coincidence while the rest in a short realize it's purely on luck and nothing can be done through superstition.

In gambling there are many ways to follow the belief. But actually I usually let it happen in playing and comes with a luck. I agree, in gambling if you are lucky you will win the game it really doesn't matter if you wear your favorite shirts or others. Thus, superstitions involve for those who believe in it.

those believers only doing it just to condition their minds that if they have they will probably got a high chance to win but nothing really related
its just luck and your own will that brings you some winnings.

I do not see anything addictive that does not involve money, even playing games involve money.  Care to tell me which addictive stuff that does not involve money?  Physical games still requires stuff that you need to buy to be able to play them.


Anyway,  superstition is always there, I do not think that we can remove that, it is already in every race culture.  Every little things we do there is always a superstition in it, even if we do not noticed it.

I believe in superstition and try to wear those clothes in which I have good winnings. Sometimes it helps, and sometimes not very lucky. Maybe there are some more secrets out there.

Well, I feel funny because your superstitions, I never believed in superstition, I always thought that everything was based on science to explain, although there were many problems that science did not explain but sooner or later, scientists also discover that. In gambling, if you are lucky, you will be lucky and if you are not lucky, you will be unlucky, wear clothes or anything can not change that, you wear clothes that you think it brings luck to you because you have signs of despair, and you need something called trust for you to rely on it
