Do you think Voodoo works in Gambling Games?

[Zanzibet]

Desperation to win can make you fall for anything but i am sure that it has nothing to do with voodoo or black magic but rather its a matter of chance.

[bhabygrim]

I don't think that it has any effect in gambling those superstitious belief,
I just believe that it is all luck but who knows maybe those really works .
I once believe in those kind of things to be honest back then I won numerous times,
But I don't really think that it has anything to do with it ,
Those win was just a pure luck not because of those beliefs because after that I would lose some times too.

[Reatim]

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?

I have no idea what Voodoo is all about and how does ho it works,what I only knew is superstitious because my uncle use to bring me when i was young to the churches or other places that he needs to go before going to cockpit arena.since he was a Cockfighting enthusiast and go there weekly after weekdays of work.what I noticed is he won most of the time but when he missed the ritual surely he will lose.

But of course there’s a chance that it was luck?but until now I’m still believe that it’s the superstition than making him win

Well they seems to be not in desperation when playing but they are more serious

But whatever we may say?still it’s their experiences and beliefs that makes them either win or lose because that is gambling after all

[gabbie2010]

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.

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

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.

This crazy idea of sleeping in graveyards to get some sorts of revelations for gambling is also common in some part of Africa in fact this mystical idea of winning big had assumed  dimension where wining numbers are being sort out from mentally unbalanced or mad people, while some people believed this idea works well for them, personally I see wining any of their bet or gamble as a coincidental and luck this is weird and absolutely crazy idea of becoming rich at all cost.

that does sound absurd but some people do, I don't know the reason either. I also think things like that are crazy actions, in this world there are indeed many strange things, maybe this is the manifestation of many differences in the world.

Voodoo does not work in gambling games,  if it truly works I don't think that there will be any gambling company out there anymore because,  everyone will just be winning and there will be no loss,  which will result to fold up of gambling company,  those that used voodoo and said that their games were won are just mere coincidence.

[STT]

Theres superstition and theres good practise and confident gameplay, they all could be related and have some founding to them.   Confidence counts for alot in life so I dont discount anyone who follows whats given them good luck in the past, some of what people 'know' is subconscious.
  Voodoo from what I know of it can only work on people, so vs computers and everything being online I dont see how it can work but then I dont exactly know the details you refer to specifically.   I'd never write off anything a person has belief in but this might be stretching the scope of the feasible unless somehow it puts the player in good spirits then it cant be any worse then drinking and smoking while gambling which is what most of the western world does.

Gamblers really are a superstitious lot. Personally I don't believe on the supernatural when it comes to gambling. It's possible that they just really were lucky and had that streak but it can't go on forever.

I do think there is money to be made providing voodoo or whatever services to these gamblers. Superstition is a lucrative industry, just look at feng shui experts.

Regarding voodoo or any other "magic" and "spells" ideology, I absolutely do not believe in them.

You mentioned correctly gamblers are a superstitious bunch of people. Superstitions are spread far and wide in all walks of life from people involved in many activities including education, sports, acting, politics and so much more. Gamblers probably like to follow certain routines before/during/after placing bets but in the end it does not affect the end result of a win or a loss.

There is a market though because there will always be people willing to pay others in the belief it will help them and there will always be those happy to receive free money in exchange for giving their "advice".

^ The line that I bolded above was definitely right, that's all about coincidence and nothing happens on superstitious belief. But the fact that we can not blame those gamblers of what they believe is. Voodoo is something give them the strength to have good luck while having gambling. But the truth they are not making any sense at all. Nevertheless, nothing's lost with you if you are a superstitious believer.

lots of gamblers still believe that voodoo works for gambling,  I don't believe in superstitions , and  I know it's mere coincidence,  what other gamblers needs to know is that,  if voodoo truly works initially,  the gambler who won with voodoo will keep doing the voodoo in order to continue his winning streak,  but always loose when they try it again which shows that it's a mere coincidence

Desperation to win can make you fall for anything but i am sure that it has nothing to do with voodoo or black magic but rather its a matter of chance.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I guess someone experienced some hardship or losses that lead them to think that a voodoo doll or something would help them to win in gambling by any means. Chances are still the same even if there's no voodoo and charms but if it is a skill-based game, chances of winning would depend on them.

One of the things on where you would fall out if you do plan or force yourself for these voodoos to work out since you do have some fixed of mind

where you do plan to follow up some behaviors then you will end up on a desperation situation which isn't good.Yes, all matter with chances and this
should be the thing where these kind of gamblers should realize about.

Just to increase the odds of winning and luck but it has no relation. Last time, I've seen those beliefs like wearing 'polka dots' to win which really I find it odd and somehow but I respect their belief. If they are confident with these kinds of belief and don't harm others, I think it is fine on my end. But I don't believe with such thing like that. It isn't all about the chance but you've got to be wise too whenever you play those games that requires thinking.

That is not a crazy idea because from what I heard, they always come to the graveyard and slept on a specific day. Their purposes are to get some of the revelations as you said. Some of them can hear some whisper that told a number, some of them can see a sign about the number. Many experiences from them but most of them are not share what they've got.

The old people who played traditionally gambling always did that to get the right number. But after that traditional gambling was prohibited, I don't hear some people are continuing to go to that place. Besides that, the generation of people after that old people don't want to follow them because they think that is ridiculous. They prefer to use the other method.

Well, that's crazy enough for me. If sleeping on a graveyard on a specific day to wait for a revelation that will come through a whisper is not crazy, I don't know what it is. A combination of horror and funny joke perhaps? 

What's even funnier is that on the nearby graves, there are also other people who are sleeping waiting for that number whisperer. And what if they heard different numbers in their sleep? Or the other saw a sign of 45 when the one sleeping on the grave next to him dreamed of 28?

Some old practices are gradually dying because they are plainly irrational, no scientific explanation, no empirical proof, and most especially no one has become rich out of it. If that were true, they should have already won millions in daily lotteries.

Well this thing is exist in my country. If a team can't make a goal, some people will said a voodoo was casted on that team and vice versa. Tbh i never trust that voodoo thingy because i always think logically and something can happen is not because of voodoo but because of the player itself (i'm talking about the soccer match).

[Reatim]

Voodoo does not work in gambling games, 

Well we have our own perspective in each thing ,but I respect yours

if it truly works I don't think that there will be any gambling company out there anymore because,  everyone will just be winning and there will be no loss, 

This is a good point because surely every gamblers will tend to learn about this Voodoo thing just to compensate from gambling that for sure will be effective

which will result to fold up of gambling company,  those that used voodoo and said that their games were won are just mere coincidence.

And also Luck I guess?well what ever the reason still gambling companies are standing strong and bagging gamblers money hour after hour

Well yet skilled gaming in gambling still not considerate because how can you use skill over your opponent if Luck seats beside that player?this is something to think of before trusting our skills

Voodoo in popular culture
People fear the unknown, and as most people do not know much about Voodoo, it is used to frighten and its practices (Hoodoo) are portrayed as evil. Voodoo is shown in many horror/suspense movies and has come into American pop culture through music, movies, art, and many other mediums.

Source: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voodoo

If voodoo works in gambling then the way its works is to scare opponents in gambling (e.g poker games), is there a gambler who afraid of his opponents? most gamblers are afraid of losing not their opponents, so voodoo wont work in gambling.

People who believe in voodoo are irrational people, different from gamblers who use their ratio to calculated lossing or winning chance even basis of their game is luck.

it’s quite unfortunate that people are ready to go to any length to win and i feel this is shameful. If it was even very real that voodoo works in winning gambling, i would never use it because i believe there are better things it can be used for and not just for a game of pleasure, how much exactly can be won from gambling that we can’t work for, so why the stress or why do we then depend on irrelevant things to win gambling.

I find it even very unbelievable that there are people that would really use voodoo, it does not sound appropriate to me. I know that some gamblers can be quite desperate but using voodoos, charms are all wrong. Desperation should end at spending money uncontrollably in gambling and not by using charms. This is the first time i am knowing about this anyway and somehow something within me tells me it is impossible and this can never be.

its not the belief that makes us win but our dedication that attracts luck

we must not believe that much on those yet its their way of telling itself about the good vibes inside them so in some cases they are winning but not constantly

wee what can we do if thats their faith?we cannot take this from them and we have our own way of luring luck so their ways and our own ways in the end its whom to success and not
