Have you experienced this kind of gambling

[Wakate]

I think I have seen these kind of gambler before but not for football bets. I have seen this in lotto where there are some numbers which they kept seeing do look like a sign to them that such number could come out a winning number. It do happens in lotto and such kind of gamblers do make some winnings most time. This is mostly based on luck and when they make winnings, they do count it on there ability to read signs from what they see. Especially the ones that appear to them frequently.

[Oilacris]

This one may have always been a coincidence, but a very big one at that. Numbers appearing consistently together wherever you look may look like they are a sign from a divine being or whatever that urges you to bet on it and win lots of money. I myself have believed in this back then when trying to play the lottery. I stuck with that belief that if a number constantly appears (even in my dreams LOL), I should go ahead and bet it on the lottery. But perhaps I was just too much into winning that I made myself belief that these numbers have significance. Since then, when I stopped thinking about winning, I immediately stopped seeing numbers that seem to give something off them and stopped dreaming of numbers too!

As a human being and seeing those patterns and regularities even if you are trying to convince yourself that its coincidence but those appearances will really be having you thinking or doubting that it might

be real and this is something a human behavior which it is really part of our instincts that we might believing that there is really some sort of pattern but we know that it cant just be possible.

On this way, we would really be doing up things in according into those experiences and thinking that it might really be working or not.
We do keep on making things and using up as part of our betting habits.

LOL this is pretty funny and I can't say that I know anyone personally who has done this but I can share a story that would be relevant here. 

If anyone reading this is a fan of the Howard Stern show this would ring a bell for you.  One of the Stern show staffers, Sal Governale has a father who's a chronic gambler.  He will do all sorts of whacky shit.  Like for instance the day his mom died he made everyone in the family go to bed with a pen and pad of paper because he was sure she was going to come to them in their sleep and reveal winning lotto numbers.  He owned an Italian pizza joint and would kick out homeless people for being in his store for too long, but before doing so he would make them write down a few of their favorite numbers to use for the lotto..for some reason thinking they had luck coming due to him.

So there's all sorts of people who do crazy stuff like this!

[alegotardo]

I have experienced some guys who are chronic gamblers making unimaginable predictions from football player's jersey numbers, basket ball, hockey, rugby etc jersey's numbers. I have experienced this and their prediction is only based on these numbers shown on TV sports analysis consistently and regularly.
These chronic gamblers feel that when these jersey numbers keep flashing on your TV stations maybe during the sports news, analysing the jersey numbers on different clubs and display of the jersey numbers may be a sign that such number will appear as draw for the week and they do their permutations on that.

My question is, have you experienced this kind of gambling with Jersey numbers ?

Note: The pictures are just to illustrate my point with the jersey not particular about who was wearing it and I didn't need to link any source because any jersey number will do or can be imagined, at most written with bare hands.

Well, I'm sure of one thing.... This is not strategy but superstition.
People invent "any reason" to have a justification of how to place their bets, if this "strategy" has worked, I believe it's purely luck.

I would tell you that it is much more reliable for you to bet using your knowledge and technique, but we are witnessing in the last world cup very "crazy" matches in which favorite teams are losing by others that we didn't even imagine were being classified for the elimination phase.

So I think we should give "some credit" to people who are using these "crazy" strategies to place their bets.

I think I'll keep track of the shirt numbers of players who are going to score goals in the next round of the world cup and then use that to place my lottery bet. If I win, I'll come back here to tell you.

   I know other people whose basis is like that, there are many of them. But in the field of this gambling industry, I have never seen a winner with this strategy dude. Because, what they think will come out is only in their minds, but the truth is that it is not.

Sometimes I don't understand either, but maybe this is one of the things that can enable them or drive them to take a gambling action as an individual gambler.

[Oasisman]

This betting strategy is kinda familiar to me but of course just like the others not in football or any other sports, and yeah it's for lottery. Chronic gamblers have their own beliefs about something they see on the TV, favourite magazines, or even ask innocent child about a certain set of numbers, and about the things they have dreamt of. Believe me, there's several stories about these that really came true and people do win.
My wife was a good example, she have like 2 or 3 times, she dreamt about 3 sets of numbers and the next day the lottery we have locally that allows you to win with just 3 number combination in exact order, had that same exact result as what she have dreamt of. Unfortunately, she was not able to place a bet (coz she's not really into gambling) on it but just shared about her experience regarding that matter.

[livingfree]

First, the topic is more preferable on the Gambling discussion.

Honestly, with all of my time that I gamble this is the first time of hearing about such strategy. It's unusual to see that there's this strategy that exists and if someone was able to win through this, well, it's amazing.

With lottery I guess, using this strategy is really possible. Even my mother itself used to remember every numbers shown in television or being consistently mentioned in the radio and she will bet on them in lottery. Others have successfully hit a a jackpot prize out of this and some even go for their children birthdates and maintain their bets in lottery.

Well, yeah.

It's plausible if it's going to be with lottery and other gambling games that has numbers on it to play with and is basing totally on luck. I understand and get the idea now.

I'm sure that there are other bettors too that have bet for the numbers that has appeared on their dreams, if there's one any, correct?

I have never heard or experienced this type of gambling style. But I believe this type of gambling would be solely based on luck. This is because their prediction would not be based on history or present performance of any team but just based on numbers on the jerseys they see from the screen. For me I don't think this is a good pattern of gambling but it might be possible that it has been working for them.
 
You also stated that most of the people you saw that engaged in this type of gambling are addict. Their addictions might be why they adopt this strategy because addict can get predictions from unconventional and sometimes unreasonable means without proper considerations. There main goal is just to satisfy the strong drive to gamble.  

[Jawhead999]

Hilarious!

It's just full of lucky if the lottery outcome is same like the picture that they promoted because they wouldn't be stupid to share the outcome of that's round lottery. I never faced this experience when I play lottery in my local country, it's really different with the outcome.

It's better to choose your favorite number rather than choosing the number that comes by a chance.

What is in our minds will not always come true but what is in our hearts can come true. I have experienced this but in slot games. There was something in my mind that said the name of a slot game and I immediately moved to try to play it but apparently, I lost. And another day, I seemed to get another slot game name but this time it wasn't from my mind and I'm sure it wasn't from my mind.

I tried to play the slot game and finally, I won a few dollars from the game. I wonder if this is superstition, conscience, or just coincidence. I never thought about it because after I got the slot's name, I didn't play it immediately but a few hours later.

[Strongkored]

My question is, have you experienced this kind of gambling with Jersey numbers ?

No, I don't and that's because I have never tried gambling in lottery gambling
It seems strange but many gamblers do have strange strategies but it will not always bring victory, and this is certainly for betting on the lottery and some choose numbers based on dreams or ask a child about the numbers he thinks and some succeed and more do not, so it is just a coincidence if he can get a big win or jackpot, and most will be secretive about losing and will scream when they win.

It is obviously nothing but all gamblers fallacy. Not exactly gamblers fallacy, but something similar were they believe particular things "brings" luck. The draws completely depends on your luck and seeing a number regularly isn't a "sign" or anything. The guy that won by analyzing those number just got lucky and nothing else. Don't follow those strategies. You will end up regretting.

[Gozie51]

Wow, that was fun reading it.
Is this real or for entertainment purposes only? 

It was not for entertainment purposes, it happened but if it repeatedly happened is what I can not confirm and this is longtime ago like I already said.

He made it sound like the TV is the crystal ball and it will tell you what the future beholds.

No it is not as such, not the crystal ball. The TV is out of it only that it was a medium that such numbers were shown and then plus other confirmation from soccer news papers that the forecast were drawn from.

Sometimes I don't understand either, but maybe this is one of the things that can enable them or drive them to take a gambling action as an individual gambler.

But sometimes it is our confidence that made us win mate, because positivity attracts luck that is what I learned from my experiences. when my mood is good i often win but when I felt like bad? then losing comes continuously.

so the idea is not that bad at all and what we only need to understand is the timing and the attitude towards gambling.

Had this similar experience when i was young when I dreamed of the local basketball ending in my localities and put a bet in 5 cards and the outcome? i won in all of them.

but does this made me believe about this ? nope instead i believe this is just a luck that gives me something.

But let them have their belief and let us face our strategy .

Chronic gamblers are like that they put everything related to gambling I remember I have a neighbor who look at the cartoon series in the newspaper to see number signs to bet in the lottery because he won third prize many times doing this, so it become addicted and challenge for him trying to see numbers when I did not saw anything, it's like imagining numbers that are not there, maybe it's his subconscious mind working and manifesting through those cartoon characters.
I guess when we are too attached to gambling we see things as something that will bring us the results that we're looking for.

-cut-

It's just numerology combined with apophenia. People would like to see more meaning in chaos and have more control over their their lives and even predict gambling. They can't accept that they couldn't have any control.

Reason why these people seem to win often is because like many gamblers they only count and remember winnings, this becomes especially handy when you need to justify yourself that you are in the right track on predicting everything.

But obviously it doesn't work. They don't even require proof because they couldn't possibly give it.

[Slow death]

in my country there is a lottery game, every day on the tv channel they show the number and whoever bought a ticket with that same number that is on tv is the person who wins the lottery, it turns out that many people have been writing down the numbers every day so that they can see if the next day they manage to match the numbers that appeared on TV, when I look at all that and take notes from several months I realize that there are so many random numbers that to match that number that appears on TV is a matter of being lucky, there is no strategy to hit the lottery numbers, that's clear to me, that's why I don't play the lottery, that's why I don't like games that depend on luck and I don't play those games that depend on luck. I wonder why so many people in my country continue to play the lottery every day

I have experienced some guys who are chronic gamblers making unimaginable predictions from football player's jersey numbers, basket ball, hockey, rugby etc jersey's numbers. I have experienced this and their prediction is only based on these numbers shown on TV sports analysis consistently and regularly.

So this particular guy in Nigeria around 5 years ago followed some Jersey numbers he has been monitoring for the week and according to him 3 of the numbers where consistently and regularly appearing on different TV stations for the week and he concluded some numbers and went to stake them 3/3 in the weekend draws and behold! When the matches were played all turned out draws and this guy cashed out from different pool shops where he did the stakings. It was a big winning story in the area alongside few guys he gave the numbers to try their luck.

My question is, have you experienced this kind of gambling with Jersey numbers ?

For me, I literally see this as a guess prediction work, that is mostly base on luck, because on the contrary, everybody has his/her strategy which works for them, in as much as they believe in it, because the percentage of winning using this method is 1/100 percentage chance, because there are many other factors to make a team win or either lose a match far more than a numerical number on its weekly table predicting which or which will be draw (such as i.e caliber of footballers to play the match, latest transfer news and location at which  match will be played "home or away" and e.t c).

So on summery, I see this strategy as a just mere luck

[jostorres]

I am trying to understand, what is Op trying to explain in this thread, i mean what kind of gambling is Op referring. it seems like you said, maybe he refers to lottery gambling. if true, then what the Nigerian man did is commonplace, a little funny indeed, there are many people who formulate things that don't make sense in their method of placing lottery bets. like the example that Op told in this thread.

Even in my country, many people are still superstitious to get the numbers they want and then they will combine them with the formulas they have. these numbers, can be subtracted or added according to their beliefs to win this lottery. so I'm not surprised, if it turns out that in other countries there are still doing things that are beyond our reason and common sense. however, as long as it is good according to him, and does not harm everyone around him. whatever they do, it's up to them what they want.

This must be a lottery game because lottery involves picking a number. My mother does this before too where he chooses a number that had more meanings to her like her birthday and as well as ours (her kids) and then our father's birthday. There are times that it will hit but it was mostly 3 to 4 numbers out 6 so the prize were only small.

Keno and roulette are games that do also involved picking a number. I think this strategy can also be applied with it. It was great to see that gamblers can also become creative when it comes to gambling. This can make the game even more exciting or can make more sense. That when they play randomly.
