Superstition in Number 13, What About the Casino? (Lucky Six)

[Maotezi]

First, I will not offend anyone if he does not know or is wrong in his country, but number 13 is an "unfortunate number" and people do not like him.

Number 13 is associated with the Lucky Six, a game where numbers are drawn before you draw, 6 numbers in particular.
In this game, each of the balls has different colors, and by playing the "case" Plague number 13 is black.
For all those superstitious, this is very bad and brings a bunch of bad things

Now, people never pick 13 when choosing numbers, but I thought more deeply.
Maybe the machine has artificial intelligence that deliberately pulls out number 13 because it knows people are an unlucky number and people won't dial that number.
That is my guess, it may sound naive, but the scratch was 70% correct.

I am interested in your opinions on this, whether it makes sense and whether you agree.
If something is not clear to you, ask?

I doubt they'd actually include that in the algo of the machine though? Like if it's discovered, it can easily be taken advantage of. Plus, this removes the provably fair mechanism in the game, and well, the gambling casino would pretty much be dissed for that. IF the machine actually picks numbers based on past results and determines the most unlikely one to be picked, well, that could be possible, but then the algo for that would be pretty simple so I doubt my explanation is enough to provide the entire machines logic, but it could be a part of it.

It makes sense as a machine could varying algorithms, but in the end, it should end up with how lucky you are though. Just having a guess of it being probable is pretty much you just lying to yourself so you can keep betting.

Did you mean you are 70% right about your fact when you said "scratch with 70% correct"? Then, yeah, high chance you are wrong. Superstition is just false believe. Indeed some people tends to choose lucky number 7 and avoid 13 at all cost. But, no I don't think any casino would be taking advantage of this. If they want their device to be rigged, there are hundreds and millions of way to do so. It becomes risky for them to rigg their casino based on people not choosing this number. If people finds out about this, they will be taking huge advantage of this and the casinos will go bankrupt.

They even excluded that number with floor buildings so it's a very known superstitious belief but I don't think that casinos will ever consider that. Not every gambler has the same belief and some are just making fun of this number and tries to pull the trigger if they want to.

It can easily programmed but I don't think it go as you think.

[Wexnident]

Well, you already said what could counter your opinion. It's a "Superstition". I'd rather believe in my gut rather than some superstitions, to be honest. It defeats the purpose of logic and science, and it's a very intangible matter much like how luck is. People are free to believe in their superstitions, beliefs, and whatnot, but it doesn't mean that they are actually true, more like it is believed by many to be true because they need a pillar of support for that situation, to make it much more explainable. Like how thunderstorms in the old age were believed to be the anger of the gods when in reality it's just the weather acting up.

If casinos did things like that it would be discovered and their reputation would be marked for good.

In my experience only Americans believe that number 13 is an unlucky number. That is not something that is common in many parts of the world. Most people know about it from movies and the stories surrounding Friday the 13th. 

Someone mentioned there is no Floor #13 in buildings. This is true.
When I stayed in US hotels you would have floors 11, 12, 14, 15 etc. And also no room #13 anywhere. 

[swogerino]

I can correlate somewhat to the number 13 as in the Us there is this superstition where if Friday is on the 13th of the month they believe that bad things happen in this date.I think that this is only a superstition and I don’t think casinos rely on these rather they build winning algorithms and softwares for their games that will assure they will be making money in the long run.

So your analysis turns out 70% correct? on how many gambling sites and what gambling sites, every gambling site differs in their algorithm, what's true on one gambling cannot be true on another site, and your findings are very interesting people might wanna try that on their next betting.

So whats the reason for this ? There must be a series of unpleasant events associated with the number 13 and you exclude them from the floor numbering.
But again we still have 13th day in a month, so that will be an unlucky day ? I do not believe in superstitions but need to know how true are the people believes on such things.

I think it's about one or a few religions. Superstition. There's no other explanation. 13 just a number, just like other ones...
I respect then believing 13 is not good choice. But I don't believe.

[ChuckBuck]

And you think an AI chooses a number intentionally  is good, right?

Maybe the machine has artificial intelligence that deliberately pulls out number 13 because it knows people are an unlucky number and people won't dial that number.

I think you're wrong, a casino must ensure it's fairness, the algorithms must be clean completely. And if such an AI exists, it is unfair in a game, and this casino should not be marked for good.

stop fooling yourself with superstitions because as what i've seen in your posting most of this are believing in stupid things.
you always create tread that only you understand or others that has same views in life like yours.but the totality?majority of people here don't get what you are saying so stop it .

I can correlate somewhat to the number 13 as in the Us there is this superstition where if Friday is on the 13th of the month they believe that bad things happen in this date.I think that this is only a superstition and I don’t think casinos rely on these rather they build winning algorithms and softwares for their games that will assure they will be making money in the long run.

lol that was just a movie and nothing in real,it was popularized just to make that movie gain high.and only few believe on that Friday the 13th thing.

actually from my own experience?in friday the 13th?many good things happen and there is no bad things,realtalk mate.

To be honest, I don't know.

I knew an engineer and an architect. They told me that it is not good for them to design or build stairs with 13 steps. I thought this is just a superstition but I never thought that it is also being applied in professional jobs like that. In casino's, maybe people are avoiding it for the same reason. Don't know what is wrong with number 13 but it brings bad luck as they said it.

In fact, this story goes back to the roots of Christianity. Maybe there's a before.

Sorry but I am not sure I understood the whole thing properly. I am in Asia so superstition here is really big, so is numerology.

But I do not believe in it,,, maybe because I am modern. I know friends who gamble with their backs facing a certain direction (fengshui) or some who buy digit games when they see accidents (taking the carplate number of the accident) but it is all coincidence.

Luck is luck, random is blind:)

There is a superstition in every country, every nation, every human being. Only its dimensions are different. The number 13 is a superstitious superstition in western countries. And it's possible to find a lot of resources. This has nothing to do with modernity. I know people who are afraid of frogs.

Completely removing number 13 from their choices doesn't make sense. It could work or backfire for a few times but removing one number that can be picked only because of the superstition would eventually lessen their chances of winning and increase the game's edge. In other cases they could avoid it if they want but in a casino it'll only make you lose much faster.

[Lanatsa]

Each people on different countries do we have something called tradition and beliefs which would really have this kind of numeral bad lack thingy which had been tied up for some people who do gamble
or even on basic things in life.

For me i dont really believe into these kind of superstition because if you lose then your completely unlucky- no questions asked but people would still find a reason or way to blame out things thats why
there are several things which shouldnt really be tagged on would really get involved and been passed up to generation until it become traditional but overall -luck cant really be influenced by anything.

That's because there are too many movies about Friday the 13th, how unlucky it is and how scary if you associated with you, and maybe you are right that these betting sites will try to make the 13 to come up because people don't want to have an association with the number 13, and also surprised that you made a study on it.

[Reatim]

i have watched many movies about this cursed day of Friday the
13th and most are negative,there is death and accidents and
some are horrors .

but personally?i never had experience or even those people around me,
so maybe this is just a isolated cases that there are troubles happened
 in this Day but not in general.

anyway what i believe in Gambling is "the Lucky 7 in which my lucky
number "as well lol
