What are your most common superstitions?

[TheCoinGrabber]

I don't know if this counts as a superstition but I don't gamble (not even lottery) if I happen to pass by a wake. It just feels off even if I know that even if there are supernatural, they really wouldn't bother me over that.

Maybe coz it's a reminder of mortality and I lose the appetite for "quick win".

I think the most common superstitions in gambling are color of shirts or accessories that you usually wear when you are going to play at a casino that gives you a good luck to win in gambling. Honestly, when i am following this superstition it is really effective for me because i mostly experienced having a win streak, especially in a game of poker at the casino.

I believe that wearing red when I played brings be luck also having pregnant women besides me while on the game brings me fortune as I have already tried this twice and I won but not all time since there is a luck also that include for the superstitions to take place
But I don’t make this post to encourage people here to do same because this is just a belief and not applicable to anyone specially if you don’t really believe and you only want to ride to win

^ Definitely right, these are very common and I heard these from one my friend before when I was with him gamble at the live casino.
I think this common practice of gamblers will bring them a positive thing and may cause of being a lucky gambler. But for me, I do gamble normally without any belief while gambling. I believe that once you have luck, the winning sentiment will be yours.

This isnt a superstition but rather an analysis plus that intuition that you do made to yourself.You can presume things up and base and making decisions
that you might able to make it work but your brain knows that everything is random so you are hoping for something which isnt sure.Superstitious does involve
chants,charms,beliefs and the thing you had mentioned out do involved some calculations and presumptions which this isnt considered out to be one.

When betting in dice games, I'm crazily believing that after a streak of loss or streak of wins(probably 3 consecutives or more), the opposite will finally come.

This is why I always go all in and then I'll lose the bet, because it doesn't work like that :V.

In my region people used to play cards, it has got different set of games that can be played. This isn't the same as casino games, and here people will never move from one position if they got a winning streak. This is the only superstitious belief that I've seen. As I prefer gambling on online platforms there is nothing to do with superstitions.

Well you're right, in online gambling, I believed that superstitious belief is not effective. That's why online gambling based on luck was totally based on luck. In my country, there are a lot of gamblers who are until now doing these old beliefs, but I don't believe in them.
I understand regarding this matter, this gives them positive energy that you will win, once you have this instinc you are having a high chance of winning I think.

[Oceat]

I think it's a superstition if you are counting the number of wins and losses. At first, i have to sit or watch someone first doing the bet and analyse the pattern of winning vs losing due to the specific spot/number. By then I started to play and gamble but still continue doing to look at the same pattern if it is following to my senses. lol

Although I didn't win that much but I can say that it's quite effective though, for me, but I don't know to anyone here.

The other day I've seen the thread for the voodoo/rituals before gambling on this thread: Do you think Voodoo works in Gambling Games?
And now, other crazy stuffs are coming out hehe.

I think the most common superstitions in gambling are color of shirts or accessories that you usually wear when you are going to play at a casino that gives you a good luck to win in gambling.

This one, yes I think this is the most common, wearing the t-shirt that has the lucky color of the day base on the feng shui experts forecast for that specific day.

Let me preface this by stating the following
When betting on Bustabit for example, I know :

• It's 100% provably fair and can't be manipulated
• Each round is independent of the adjacent ones, no previous results dictate the next
• There's no math to keep the 1.975x average in place, if it's 10 games under 1.5x in a row, this doesn't change the likely-hood of the next being over 2x

That being said, I think it's fun to humor myself and entertaining to play into superstitions.
i.e if it's 10 red in a row, I'm usually more likely to increase my bets as the gamblers fallacy plays out, although I'm completely aware of the math behind it.

I think superstitions are fun to have and entertaining to laugh about, it makes it more interesting.
Some gamblers treat them in a serious way, however I think that's the wrong approach to superstition when gambling overall.

Yup theres math behind not and not more on superstitions. Superstition you bring something with you when you gamble to bring you good luck. Its is something that you do before you make a bet because you think it will make you win like you blow the dice before rolling them, shaking them 3 or more times before rolling them. Not peeking at your card right away after the dealer hands it to you and you do something. Those are samples of superstitions.

[leowonderful]

I often feel luckier on days like Monday or Thursday and/or when I'm lucky in things other than crypto or gambling, even though as mentioned earlier in this thread, there's realistically no mathematical advantage with gambling during these times, and so I almost never gamble more than a certain amount I set for myself every week. I've also got a special computer mouse that I use to gamble occasionally that makes me feel a bit lucker at times.

[samputin]

I'm not a huge fan of superstitions. But I do some things (out of habit, I guess) when I gamble. Like in a carnival where I play the dice game betting on what color would appear after it rolled, I sometimes cross my finger and silently or loudly (depending on my mood and the crowd) repeat the color I bet on. "Red! Red! Red!" Something like that. It works but of course, not all the time. I think it's the law of attraction. You know, you attract what you want to happen. I don't know if that's a superstition but that's what I do. still not a fan of it, though.

We all have our own superstition, it will not do harm if we have one from all our actions, it is part of our belief that powerful hands are behind  on all the things that we do, these superstitions sometimes has an impact on the mind of the believer, mine is a mantra I will always believe that I will win and sometimes wearing a specific color can help its part of our lives and these superstitions have been to us from generation.

[Murat]

I know a lot of people who have a strong belief in superstition, there are also some sport celebrities always maintain some attitude in order to avoid some unwanted thing, sometimes they maintain the same color, they are doing coin toss and sometimes they believe in black magic also, we know that they are taking it very seriously, but I don't believe it totally, for me, some shorts of betting is just like a fun, only matter of entertainment regarding this issue, It's normal calculation for me that if my luck favors me then I will win and if my luck doesn't support then also it could be an entertainment for me. So it doesn't matter at all for me.

[shoreno]

I don't know if this counts as a superstition

thats what i also think  . i dont think what happen to op is not a superstition but it was some kind of a martingle strategy  .  supersition means that you are doing some kind of rituals and you believe that it will increase your winnings  . i do believe on some superstious belief but i dont apply them in gambling however like the op , i do also do his strategy which is martingal where i increase my bets gradually after i got some redstrakes  . sometimes i max it and win big if im lucky

[mersal]

In online gambling more likely we will change the bet amounts after increase or decrease but in a real casinos lot of things might happens,like if you see someone lost on a bet then we can imagine that next game is going to be a win so we will be on it.

The most common misconception here is that it's probably fair. Trust me no game is provably fair and Casinos operate because they are not probably fair their might not be a great edge but there definitely is a small edge in the favour of casino except of the fees. You never have a 50-50 probability of winning it's always 51-49 and that 2% edge goes to casino itself. Moreover in long term there is no way you will end up winning money in a mere luck casino like dice. Say for eg their might be 52 heads and 48 tails in 100 coin tosses but in 1 million coin tosses this deviation would go more and more closer to 50%.

How about those gambling sites especially have dice games that has their source codes public especially the provably fair seeds with verification?
I also saw some gambling sites especially those old ones which has their public data or records especially those players which you can see their total profits or total loss in the gambling platform. If there are some percentage for edge, why some gambling platform seems not telling it to their gamblers?

[Kemarit]

I created a thread about Gambling and Superstition years ago, I guess everyone should scan the discussions there.

But to add something specially on line game, house-edge will really caught up on you regardless it's provably fair or not. So if you had a good streaks and runs then get out, don't chase and don't be greedy!!!
