What are your most common superstitions?

[jrrsparkles]

@Darker45 - I'm also once gambler who fall for that kind of believed, as long as I'm in a winning streak, I I don't take a bath until I break my run.  

Oh, my! Really? How did you start falling on that obviously absurd superstition? And how many days was your longest streak?

This would be a total disaster if you are a lucky man. What if you are having a winning streak of 5-7 days in poker, which is totally possible? It will not only be the other players in your table that will be distracted in their games because of your odor but the whole poker room. Unfortunately, that would be your edge.  

I guess he managed the things with perfumes.

Thank God I ever thought about bathing as superstitious belief,but I thought about the clothes will bring luck to me.

• Each round is independent of the adjacent ones, no previous results dictate the next

Not sure about bustabit, but this is not a superstition in case of dice. Every dice bet you place is actually independent of the previous bet. No matter if you win or lose, the next bet result does not care. It is actually true for most of the gambling games out there.
Yeah, there are people who believes that having a bad streak, there is a good chance of winning the next bet thus increasing bet size. All these are just gamblers fallacy.

Edit: My bad. I read it wrong.

I have seen people changing their client seed to some "lucky" numbers. They think it might help them win bets.

My suspicion is gambling varies with what type of gamble, if it's sport betting I have a believe that lower odds always get the win, if it's dice, balls my believe is that even number are Likely

My is simple, when am about to play, i do usually tell myself 'This game will make me a millionaire' 
Also, i try to shy away from second attempts. I do most times believe that i won't win through it.
I know a friend of mine who believes that weekends (mostly Fridays) is his lucky day, so he plays only then and also a friend who totally avoid gambling on Sundays.

There are many superstations in gambling and most of them are commonly practice by gamblers. But there is one worse superstation I want to share and that is not to take a bath if you are in a winning streak to avoid your luck being washed out.

I don't mind doing that as long as its effective, not talking a bath will not destroy your health but if you can continue winning, you can just skip taking a bath and just do it later when the streak is over. Although I am not doing this but I can always try if I see somebody said that this kind of superstitious practice work for them.

now, the second question to ask after this is:
for how long would you keep doing it?

24h without a bath may be doable but if your winning streak goes for 7 days it'll be quite hard to deal with you, I guess.

No need to emphasized and explain playing gambling, playing gambling need selfcontrol and play gambling for just having fun I spent money betting into the gambling what I have I am not gamble money over my my budget came from salary to avoid addiction.

I do hakuna matata, when I decide to play I just do play with the amount I allot before I start or extra amount just to chill or If Im feeling lucky. The rest that will happen is hakuna matata. If I won those free time then that's my day, If my alloted money all lost then that's it hakuna matata.

I have the same gamblers fallacy as the op, and that i have bad days and good days, and sometimes i feel like i need to take a brake to win again. I know that all of these are not based on anything but on my own superstition, and still i see myself as somewhat rational person. Ironically trusting my own rationality and gambling at the same time kinda proves that i am not rational.

My superstition involves me believing, placing my bet exactly 1 day (after having a football related dream) before the game week begins give me a fair chance of predicting the current outcome of the game. In the current premier league prediction pools, the only week the above statement was achieved I got most of the 10 games prediction closely right and won the week.

I don't know normally gamble much, so most of my gambling activities revolve around sport betting mostly football and premier league to be specific although, sometimes I purposely leave my comfort zone to bet on other league like champions league or La Liga.

You are bringing lion king here, lol.. honestly, I just know the word hakuna matatata when I saw the movie that I have mentioned.
for those who did not understand, that means no problem. 

If I won those free time then that's my day, If my alloted money all lost then that's it hakuna matata.

This is very important, this showed how discipline you are as a gambler and hope that everyone will do the same.

But if we have some superstition that we might believe, it is somehow necessary to use it as a safety especially when betting. Though it is not proven true, but gamblers are noticing it through the patterns that they can observe while playing.

Some people do that because they believe in one thing that can help them to win. I see it in my friend too, but I don't think that is because he saw something in that day. Maybe I will believe that his luck will come on that day but not always happen to the same day every week. But people who don't believe in superstitions will laugh at them and say hm, I cannot believe what you say. Well, many things happen in people's life related to superstitions.

[Casdinyard]

Should we blame our ancestors for all of these? HAHA!
Reality is even we know that superstitions don't have any basis yet we still choose to believe those, besides we don't have anything to lose.

Superstitions has already been in our life and we just laugh about it whenever we think we did something stupid and gross.

One of my basic superstition is when I play a dice game. If the first two rolls are a loss I won't be bothered to stop playing, I don't know if I'm the only one doing this but I feel that it will be a straight loss and I will be defeated in the end. It's also my way of reducing my addiction to gambling, Somehow it works on my way of reducing my gambling actions.

I used to multiply the bet value if I loss the very first roll. The second roll decides whether I'm lucky or I need to quit it for a while. If I'm lucky I'll get the loss recovered or else the loss will be high. Even by this I won't be quitting most of the time. But such scenario serves as a bad start for playing.

What are common things you're superstitious about when gambling?

Not just with gambling, I'm almost following suppositions everywhere because I am believing that could be true because this is how Gods may talk to us. In my culture that we are having auspicious times and good and bad symptoms which could be reading from our surrounding events like people's sneezing or animals sounds and movements (for example, cat crossing).

Other than those, I believe into color of my shirt and on which direction I am facing while gambling and for trading. Also I do follow auspicious days to gamble as well as for trading.

I am not making big money with gambling even I'm following many of those superstitions but I'm sure I'm not losing big these days in gambling. At the same time, I making good money from my trading. But, please note I'm not too active on those things as I'm having a regular job.

It isnt really bad to follow up on what you do believe because the most important thing is you do know on how to control up everything which you dont
fully rely on what you do believe which would possibly result into disaster.If you do believe to those beliefs then i respect that because we have our own
views and insights on different things.Luck cant be increased nor be influenced by things and this is what i believe the most.
