Gambling and Fengshui

[michellee]

so far some countries still have traditional local gambling but for feng shui gambling I have not found anymore, now the digital world has developed and more children or teenagers spend their time in front of their computers or smartphones to try to make money with fast.

Maybe feng shui is not used anymore, especially among teenagers or adults, but I think there are still people who still use feng shui and we just don't know it. Maybe in traditional local gambling in countries that still have a culture that uses it because they think that life is governed by it and we must follow these rules, including in playing gambling.

Indeed, there will always be areas that pass down their traditions to their descendants, even though their children are modern, still there are
families who still respect their ancestral culture. Therefore, traditional things such as the use of feng shui are still there who support it and pass on
the culture so that it does not become extinct. Even some of my friends still believe in feng shui when it comes to making important decisions,
including when he plays gambling. My friend has always believed in feng shui to bring good luck. For those of me who don't believe in feng shui,
I can only let what my friends believe. I think if we meet people who believe in feng shui and we don't believe in it, we don't need to forbid it,
as long as the person doesn't force us to believe in feng shui too.

Yes, that's correct. Old people who pass their traditions to their descendants will always say to take care of them and pass it on to their children and grandchildren. And if there are people who still use local cultures such as feng shui and others, we better leave it alone and respect it because it is their culture. It might seem strange, but that's the reality that still happens in some places. We're also free to use what we want and as long as it doesn't get in the way of things, I think that's fine.

I agree with this. Despite being in modern times, there are really a lot of places that decided to maintain and pass on their culture and tradition. There are many people as well who do this despite the technological advancement. There's nothing reallly wrong with it as long as they are not stooping on other people's rights and at the same time causing harm to those around them just because of their beliefs

Others didn't know that many professional and rich business people are applying feng-shui in their daily lives.

Even their respective own establishments always have a touch of feng-shui to bring luck. Look at them now, most are successful in their business. Of course, they don't just rely on luck but they also applied hard work, smark work, time and effort, perseverance, focus, and seriousness that's why they reached their decent status.

That also applies to professional gamblers. These people know that those feng-shui or lucky charms didn't affect their winnings but if they will combined luck beliefs + smart gambling, seems that is effective in the long run so they keep using that way.

Many great people were superstitious. 

For example, the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte believed in omens.  He sincerely believed in rock (fatum). 

This is due to the fact that no matter how smart a person is, he is not able to fully understand the world around him.  The human brain has its limits in the knowledge of the surrounding reality.  After all, the human brain is just an evolved primate brain. 

Therefore, a person fills in the gaps in his knowledge with faith or superstition.  This does not prevent a person from being efficient and successful. 

Therefore, feng shui is very popular (including in the field of gambling).

some people will say superstition, but it all goes back to each individual about luck and fengshui itself, different in my country there are also those that are so like auspicious days, good dates and usually for weddings not for gambling

I don't mind people believing in superstition as long as that belief doesn't affect their surroundings negatively.  Or that belief motivates him to be a better person.  Like in Fengshui, the peace of mind brought by aligning the house decor according to Fengshui brings to the health and good mood of a person will surely make the person friendly, cooperative a good influence to the society.

Well gambling and Feng Shui both originated in China so it is obvious that the gambling industry is also influenced by Chinese traditions thus for the popularity of belief in the effect of Feng shui in the gambling activities

Yes, I think that Feng Shui is not that often used anymore these days because the people these days are so focused in other things together with the advancement of technologies. But in Asia, I think it's still a thing especially for the Chinese people and their neighboring countries.

Feng Shui for me is just a tool to make us confident and feel lucky but it won't be that effective either if we don't work hard for it. Nevertheless, with or without that things, we make our own fate and it's up to us what we want to our lives.

If in construction they trust Fengshui for a better layout, then it proves that Fengshui can indeed be applied in gambling too. It's interesting to practice, I think because they prioritize calm, while in gambling, calm is also one of the factors that must be felt and the atmosphere must be built. At least to make the gambler's own emotions stable because that way, they will have more controlled emotions and that will be good for themselves in gambling.

some people will say superstition, but it all goes back to each individual about luck and fengshui itself, different in my country there are also those that are so like auspicious days, good dates and usually for weddings not for gambling

I don't think it's superstition because from what I've read, feng shui is the science of layout harmonizing with the owner. So by knowing about the person's matters and using the calculation of feng shui, it will get results expected to bring good to that person. But I don't know if it's applied to gambling because I don't know much about it and don't learn about fengshui. But some people call that related to superstition as things are not available in many countries and cultures.

I'm more into superstitious since only believers see the difference while non-believers can't explain how things work, especially inside gambling where most of the time it's about luck and how you'll going to play with your emotions nad controls. Fengshui is available around
selected places where Chinese culture was being adopted.

Not an expert and also not that kind of believer, I will not argue if there's other people who see this as effective as it can be.

Most of the time it's just luck. No need for in-depth explanation. If the jackpot falls unto you then it's your lucky day. If not, then that's different. Feng shui and other beliefs exist to strengthen or condition the human mind to be positive, but it does not, in any way, affect reality whatsoever. It's okay to believe them but not to the point that you'll be basing everything on what a thousand-year old belief system says.

Not really bad to have that kind of belief but pushing yourself for this thing to work then it would be a different story and it is true that you shouldnt really be basing up everything because in gambling then it is really just

pure luck nothingless but there are really people who are really that a fan of following and believing on things but we cant really blame them though as long they arent hurting or affecting someone then its their call.

Sooner or later they would neither realized or not that it wont really be having any effect or anything that could really give out some significant relevance in terms of luck and winning on some games.

It's pseudoscience but its method isn't scientifically based. I guess you're believing that it's science-based because of the calculation. But if you'll analyze the whole thing and also research what it means, you'll find that it's just all about superstitions. As being applied to lives and how to get luck, then it's also applicable to gambling and you'll see gamblers believing on it will say that they've been lucky because they've followed a certain suggestion from feng shui like putting some vase on the north side of the house, etc.

You have to stay focused on the primary goal, win! we must reach victory by our abilities, anything that helps to achieve victory is welcome, but we must not lose the objective and then putting esotericism or luck beliefs at the forefront of your chances of winning.

If you are a professional gambler where there are people relying on your back, yes your main focus must be on the winning side but if you are not like that, I don't think win must be prioritized because your money is the only one that is staked here, you don't have sponsors which can cover your expenses and we all know that its hard to win in gambling.

You will have a tendency to come back and do that same ritual again. That's why I think it's wrong but our main focus in that case is only to get entertained and if we are playing to get entertained we won't risk bigger amounts. We can also control ourselves easily. We don't play again right after we lose our balance.

[Fortify]

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese art of arranging buildings, objects, and space in an environment to achieve harmony and balance

But do you know that Fengshui is practiced and observed in gambling and in popular casino cities? even MGM and many hotels in casinos are following Fengshui, these are just some of the examples

the MGM Grand had to change its entrance, one that formerly forced customers to walk through the mouth of a lion (actually, under its chin, but close enough), deemed to be a very bad mojo by players from Asia.

The number Four is unlucky because it sounds like the Chinese word for “death.” This is why many hotels in Las Vegas skip floor numbers that start with the number four. The Rio Las Vegas, for example, is advertised as having 51 floors, but if you deduct the missing 40-49, it actually has just 41. The Encore is also missing floors 40-49.

So you see even if everything depends on luck and circumstances there are many people even non-Chinese are following Fengshui practices.

How about you? Do you have Fengshui practice that you're observing when you are about to play or while playing

While it may sometimes be aesthetically pleasing to have some spaces shaped around the concept of Feng Shui, in most other places it's just called common sense design practices. Optimizing the layout of every room and making them practical is hardly exclusive to Chinese design. It's a bit of a shame to see an example of how a colorful and creative artistic idea like walking through the mouth of a Lion, which would hardly get much attention in somewhere like America, has been removed to account for the tastes of a whole other continent - but it seems they were willing to drop it for the sake of chasing extra player money. Same with removing numbers to pander to superstitions, should we remove 4's from a deck of poker cards because certain people think they are a spooky number?

This is actually like a suggestion given because indeed when we believe in something like an amulet or indeed a convincing word from someone, it will clearly give ourselves more stimulus to believe there.
Likewise with Feng Shui when they believe there this will give a stronger impetus to believe that they will be lucky even though in fact gambling things like this are very hard to believe.

I would say the only professional gamblers are the people employed by the casinos. They play the same, always, and have a slight advantage compared to the players that bring their money into the casino.

If it were possible to consistently earn a lot of money from the casino, then they wouldn't be as profitable as they are.

The math is clear, in the long term, the house wins.

My Mother is a great follower of fengshui , our house designed fully with fengshui so I think I even manage to take some when i  bought my own house.

But putting this into gambling activities or something in related ? i don't think fengshui will attract luck when it is for gambling.

But yeah  I also observed in some casino houses that  it was designed with this belief , maybe for the Dealers to win over gamblers? lol

I think Feng Shui is still used in China or at least the Chinese people, whether living in China or other countries. Those who learn the science of Feng Shui still use it for various purposes and there may also be those who use it for gambling.

Although Feng Shui is like a tool to make us confident, we should not rely too much on how we gamble on Feng Sui because if the result is different from what we get from Feng Shui, we will be disappointed.

In my opinion, gambling did not originate in China. 

It's just that China is the oldest surviving civilization (China is about 5,000 years old).  But there were other ancient civilizations (Babylon, Mycenae, Atlantis, Incas, etc.) All these civilizations perished. 

However, I am sure that the inhabitants of these ancient countries were also very fond of gambling.  Because excitement and risk-taking are the basic properties of a person.  As far as feng shui is concerned, it is a purely Chinese invention. 

Since China is a very ancient civilization, love of tradition and fatalism are cultivated there.  And in gambling, fatalism is very important.

Many successful people have never resorted to Feng Shui but still managed to make a huge fortune so it can not be a fact that Feng Shui helps to find good luck in business and in gambling. In my opinion, the main factor in achieving a goal is persistence, self-belief and hard work. If in business you can negotiate with competitors and partners and change something, then in gambling you can only hope for luck.

Yeah, for good luck and for the house edge. Well, it's a place where people gather that's why it should look as better as it could be and that includes those who believe in traditional things like Fengshui. If their players will think it's for their good luck, then good. If not, then they could just find another place where Fengshui is not applied.
I don't believe wholly in the perspective but as my friend told me, you lose nothing when you do.
