Do you think Voodoo works in Gambling Games?

[audaciousbeing]

I have always heard of people who win games with voodoo(charms/certain spiritual power).I know Voodoo is everywhere. They are said to use it to get accuracy in their predictions, permutation, casinos, throwing of dice etc while this will help to reduce to the bearest minimum their risks of loosing.
So, Do you also think this is true?

People would do anything or believe in anything to win rather than understanding the mathematics behind it. Maybe because of where I am resident, I have heard people believe so many things especially when it comes to lottery games. Some have even gotten to the point of following someone known to have mental challenges thinking he would mention some numbers which would make them win, some people have even advertise how they have been accurate in the provision of lottery numbers while they still remain poor. What however they have forgotten is that, for every number any individual picked, it has been recorded and whatever machine that would pick numbers have been configured to know these numbers. Its that simple.

In simple terms, when voodoo seems to work, its purely coincidence and nothing else.

Superstition in gambling is not new phenomenon. Like you say, people will try everything to win, except to try to understand how it works, and possible ways to win. Nobody can say that better, so I will quote you once again, to make it more visible for others:

In simple terms, when voodoo seems to work, its purely coincidence and nothing else.

I can just add more options here, when lucky charms seems to work, horseshoes, rabbits foot, etc..any kind of magic or prayers, or whatever, its just coincidence and nothing more!

But in the end people will never stop searching for ways to win in long run. They will never stop believing in some crazy stories, its in our human nature.

[Oceat]

Lol!
I don't think voodoo is quite effective so does the other charms. Its just that you were like wishing someone to get lost which is somehow looks like you are cheating or something. Well, luck might be the same as charms or something because it increases your chances of winning. Though I don't know how to express this but luck and charms are beyond science.

I voodoo my bets and I win them sometimes while I lose others. So, I think it's again luck.
If people were to win with voodoo, witches would have been the richest person in the world. But they aren't, neither are the future predictors or magicians.
So, it's not hard to realize voodoo is fake.

This is funny and true, if it we're by voodoo, witches would have been the richest in the world of course.
And sincerely, the ritualist are never the richest at any time. There was a time I heard that a footballer uses charm to play shots and the Nigerian footballers leg broke. That was a sign that those things does not help, cutting corners cut one back.

If you force up something which doesnt really works would really result into unfortunate circumstances.Realize it first before pushing it hard
or else you would suffer possible problems ahead.I've seen lots of people or events that do still believe into these charms and voodoo things
but the result wasnt supposed to their expectations.People do believe but soon they'll tell to themselves that they are just following some
nonsense that doesnt really affect results or luck factor.

No. What the hell. Why would you even believe this? Lmao, if this was true, everyone would use "Voodoo" to win in gambling and there would be no losers hence all casinos will go bankrupt! Even if this "Voodoo" was real, just one guy would wipe out every casino that existed.
Stop believing on all these bullshits. Gambling totally depends on luck. You win or you lose. No such external "natural" force can change the outcome.

[carlfebz2]

All things related to chants or beliefs in terms on how to increase their winning chance is totally Bullsh*t.
There's no such thing about increasing your luck or minimizing the risk as small as possible but there were people who are really fan on following these beliefs but i would say that those winnings while using them up is just pure coincidence since we know that luck can come and go away on an instant and if we do win then we do put up on our minds that those chants or vodoo things did actually work and this wont be easily removed when you already got used to it.

chants/beliefs/voodoo let say all of them are unreal but its possible to increase your luck and minimize your risk  . that can be dont when you set the settings in low risk whenever you play gambling or you can lower the number of multiplier/payout on the case of other games  . i agree, that those who believe are lucky to win while they apply these beliefs but the truth is that its only a mere co incident .  they can continue using it as long as it gives them a confidence on thier gameplay  .

No one said that these things are prohibited to be use but doing it excessively will really push you into the boundaries or limits which will cause on wreckage since you do push it hard that they do work which isnt and as said earlier that all things are coincidence on the first place.You do make use some voodoos and you won then you will think that it do work but on next time it didnt work then you will tell to yourself that it might not able to work and there might be something more to be done for it to work until you lose all of your balance and the worst? You end up on going back on the next day trying it again and hoping that it does work and repeat the same mistake again and again.

Believe and not believe, because some of them is win and some are not. Usually in my country people look for number to lottery in graveyard or maybe go to shaman. But one thing that always on my mind is, if the shaman really can guess the number, why he not buy it for himself to be rich. 

Haha, I know about this and sometimes it's funny to know! but if we laugh at this in front of people who do that we can be considered fools. like you said, if a shaman knows something like that why doesn't he enrich himself? this is the basic logic about it, but the people who do it don't think about it. 

They more believe with shaman than other people who told them. Actually i face it because someone in my family did that. That man keep go to shaman, or maybe look for lottery number in place that they believe is haunted. It is funny to know they never get jackpot from it.

Yups sometimes I got to believe in this kind of belief because when I was young there was this friend of my uncle that practice Voodoo and other spiritual belief and when he gamble he is winning mostly(but not all of the time things that sometimes doubt me also)but the thing is I am watching while he as playing and I can see the positive effect of Voodoo on him(maybe it was luck?who knows anyway what’s important is the winning he gets from this)I don’t really understand how’s this happening back then maybe just because I am so young that time

they keep doing it repeatedly without being aware of the fact that what they are doing is not getting any results, even things like that tend to waste time. but again, I also don't have a problem with people like that and they are free to do anything. personally I will think about things with logic first compared to believe with things that are mystical.

In an Asian country, they come to the graveyard, sleep in that place, and hoping that they will dream about the number of the lottery that will be out. And if they dream about the number, they will buy the number with some money.

A few years ago, some of my friends were asking me what number that will come out in the lottery game. As I don't know anything, I give a random number which 2 number and suddenly, tomorrow, that number comes out and my friends are the person who can win some big money.

I think that is not voodoo, but perhaps, that is what people used to win the lottery.

Asians still believe in mystical things in gambling, but there are indeed some people who get results from it. the thing that I think is too scary is to sleep on a graveyard to get a lottery number. even strange things like asking lottery numbers to people who are considered weird "like crazy" when that person mentions a number then they will use that number on the lottery.

[Ucy]

I have heard alot of stories about people using voodoo to steal money from others. Well, I think it is very possible but voodoo can mean  different things to different people. There are lots of unethical but legal manipulations that should be outright voodoo but people don't consider it so because they sound normal... Things like bluffing, magic tricks, psychological warfare, revealing your approved abominable secrets mixed with laughter/comedy etc,. Real voodoo or real magic exist too. Not everything extraordinary is a trick. "superhuman powers" truely exist. There are Good and the Dark powers.

[DaveWave]

Most people from developed countries and educated people won't believe on voodoo. It is hard to believe what can't be proven nowadays as science is widespread in every aspect of our lives.

I do have a ritual that I exercise every time I needed luck, in a long trip, trading and gambling. Because deep inside of me I still believe that there are something that are hidden between us.

Lol sleeping in graveyard is normal to me because sometimes our family members sleep in our grandparents grave place(but there’s a mini house than we can take as place when we are there

But sleeping just to get Lottery number?lno way that’s insane ,just like those people who is asking numbers in wake of the dead person?

I would rather ask the goat or cow but not dead’s

[libert19]

Voodoo do exist but I believe it only works for those who thinks it will work for it. More like what you believe will work for you, will do so. It is more psychological.
Instead of one to waste their time and money in conducting voodoo, they can simply channel their energy and time in developing strategies that will make them win. Come to think of it, if voodoo truly work on gambling every now and then, then I guess every voodoo priest could have been a billionaire from gambling.

People in paranormal stuff do not care about material possessions as much as general population, so I doubt billionaire thing.

[swogerino]

It is funny of what a gambler mind can think of,a gambler always try to find a way to beat the casino and make money.I think that unless you are a magician who ca predict the future you cannot win in gambling,Voodoo is some sort of magic but I don’t think it will work in gambling as in order to win you need to know the future which for humans is impossible.

For me, I believe in superstition when gambling; I'm not that kind of high roller, but anytime that I gamble, I believe in the luck. The first rumor that I believe in gaming/betting is the beginner's luck. I can say that most gamblers believe in luck, but different superstition and perspective like you said some ppl told that they win in a game believing in their voodoos.

Money "flows" when people in dark places do the "proper things", but I doubt they ever have peace of mind. The happiness and laughters are all fake. People who rely on the POWER Above through "faith" will make money the right/moral way. Honest money flows with ease for them

The discussion here is getting weird. I had fun reading the posts. Sleeping in the graveyard is too much of a desperate move already. Why not sleep inside the coffin itself? They will surely be dreaming something.  

Actually, it is not just in Asian countries where belief in mystical things exists. It is also present in other continents. I believe this thing even exists in some parts of Europe.

My only hope is that they will not win after doing all these weird things, or else they will interpret it as a proof that what they are doing is indeed effective. They will be reinforced to do it again instead of coming to their senses.
