Have you experienced this kind of gambling

[maydna]

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.

For a gambler, it makes sense to find a number that can be used as a sign to buy the lottery because as far as I can remember, I also have some friends and even my distant family who do too. They become addicted to looking for numbers that they think are valid and can come out as winners. But sadly, it didn't come true as they had imagined. We don't know what's in their minds and how they can process those numbers to be used as numbers to buy.

There is no dearth of such people at every level especially those who give more importance to various symbols and numbers to buy the lottery. I have seen many people who give importance to even number of lottery and many people give importance to odd or even number of lottery and sometimes they also give importance to the color of lottery. It is a personal matter. But even if it seems pointless in reality, we have nothing to mockery. Because I think it is suitable for him where he or she has faith.

They will continue to use the methods they have used before because they are comfortable with it. And we also can't suggest anything to them or maybe we can only say that sometimes it doesn't make sense and for the rest let them decide for themselves. And if they stick with it, we can only watch it while placing bets too, if we want. As long as we don't get into a fight with them over giving advice, we should be fine with them.

There must be numerous people following this strategy and when it hit home with one person world comes to know about it. For me, it's coincidence at best.

Numerous people following the strategy? How? Does this look like a strategy to you or gambling within gambling? This is not a strategy but a belief and it will mostly put the people that adopt it into trouble. After reading this thread, I started trying to be practicalizing it, but I realized I was foolish enough to be thinking like that. It will be a true coincidence if it works at times, but it would be one out of many outcomes that would be successful. So, it's not worth it.

Following a strategy like that is just a waste of time, anyone doing this is just trying to create the illusion of control, because even if they happened to win by doing this it would have nothing to do with the strategy being effective and everything to do with just being lucky.

And if a strategy is still relying on the luck of the gambler in order to win, then they might as well just save their time and bet on whatever outcome they want and stop wasting their time.

May be wrong wording, I meant that there must be numerous people who must have followed this 'strategy' mentioned in op, and out of them all this Nigerian guy gets lucky and world comes to know about it. It's like survivorship bias.

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.

[Strongkored]

Have heard of people waking up to go play draws on numbers they probably saw in their dreams while they were sleeping, and another where certain persons also place their belief on getting draws from mad persons on the streets (a situation where they buy food for the said mad man who in turn writes down numbers that would play draw on pool that very weekend), of which in most cases these numbers tend to play.
 But in my whole time as a gambler and even amongst my gambling friends I have never heard of gambling based on jerseys number sign due to how repeatedly they flash on TV. It's quite weird though but I understand that gamblers can pull out every strategy possible just to get winnings anyway!  No matter the strategy anyone uses, what really matters is winning's.

Sometimes people who want to gamble whether betting on sports bets or gambling on lottery can lose their minds so that they do things or believe in things that are beyond reason and will do it over and over again when they can get a win because they think it is the right method even though it is just a coincidence.
In my area there are even those who will ask children who are not yet in school so they can only say random numbers and assume that it is a number that will give victory, strange but real.

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

Such weird number combinations are being used mostly by lottery gamblers, not by sports betting gamblers.
I haven't heard anything about this "gambling method", but I'm not surprised. Many gamblers try to find logic in places where there isn't any logic. Call it superstition or a "strategy", but at the end of the day, it's all about luck. The guy you mentioned was extremely lucky for once.
I bet a million dollars that the won't make any money with his future bets, by using this "jersey number" pseudo-strategy.

[qwertyup23]

So far, I have never tried this kind of gambling but it seems kind of fun. The only problem with it falls on the probability of winning due to it being random. Well, you could argue that it does follow the spirit of gambling, I would rather bet on the sports itself than the jersey numbers.

Personally, I would maybe attempt to try this kind of gambling but I would not make it as my regular game. Maybe others have experienced this type of gambling in some other games and application but I would not dare to make this as my regular game.

It was a big winning story in the area alongside few guys he gave the numbers to try their luck.

The guy was only lucky, but gambling is luck. What I do not use to take in sport gambling is draw, I prefer to go for win or lose. Instead of taking draw, I can just go for win or draw with smaller odds. But in my own way, I have to analyse a match before selecting the players, I do not just because of no analytical reasons select a team to just win, I follow analyses and not that kind of strategy.

First time I am hearing about a gambling strategy based on jersey numbers  sounds fun to be honest, but I wouldn't take it serious. Does he just focused on numbers he saw on the streets the most and bet on these jersey numbers then? So if he did it 5 years ago it was probably a one time strategy and he is not going to repeat it all the time. Or if he does he didn't win big again? To me it sounds a bit like randomness, the same could happen if you pick random numbers of a long period of time. Eventually there is going to be a big win. Another explanation could be that the players who pick their jersey numbers go very superstitious like 3, 6, 9 or 13. These numbers we would see a lot on TV and in real life as people believe they are lucky numbers why itself. I would not be placing large amounts of money on such kind of bets, they seem like fun but long term will probably not lead to a good results. We should rather place bets on the strength of the players and not their jersey numbers.

Sometimes draw happen especially on boxing match so even if we don't like it this one occur especially if both fighter show some good performance inside the ring. Also same as you I always analyze the player or the team before I go bet because its really hard to say we get an advantage even if we bet on top team if we didn't check any injury status or even availability of their star player(on other sports).

A draw is not uncommon in boxing because it is usually due to the score card, and it is also uncommon to win in this type of situation because most of us bet on the most powerful, or the one with an advantage, but there are still people who bets on a draw and the odds on winning on it are higher. But whatever the sport, no matter how strong the team or person we bet on, there are still days that they will lose, even if we check if there are injuries or anything else, so we should bet with caution, but again, losses in sports betting are really part of the gambling. Let's just bet what we can afford to lose, and if we lose, then we need to move on.

As davis196 said, people who gamble on lottery numbers often find such numbers which actually make sense. Because the winning numbers in lotteries are random 0 to 9, and they might match with someone's jersey number, license plate number or phone number.

For example, this 43-year-old woman who gambled on her old car's license number got lucky and won $50k.

A woman from Maryland, U.S., tried her luck when she used her old license plate number to enter a lottery drawing. Luck did shine on her after she found out how ended up winning a $50,000 (nearly Rs 40 lakh) prize.

But, I believe it is foolish to speculate about the outcome of the match based on the jersey numbers of the players IMO. As it has nothing to do with numbers it is totally dependent on both teams performance.

Boxing is one of sport which draw is really rare to happen, also the odds isn't really that high. If you want to bet draw result, football is better choice since there's many matches ended draw and the odds is quite high too. Analyze the player and the injury status is important, but you need to look on the league that they're playing and also look the points they got. I recall on the previous World Cup during group phase, Brazil was intentionally lose to Cameroon since Brazil already secure their place and they're not let their star players to play on that matches.

This could happen but does not fully imply that every correlated number in a given game will show up as a draw number. I do believe in a strategy like this, but not entirely in the sense that it can be called a lucky number. As for the dealer's behavior in assigning lottery numbers, it's clear that the odds are related. How to say it is just an activity like leak rate or some kind of numbers game.

This strategy is more difficult and most people will definitely miss it. After all lottery numbers are more precisely related to luck.

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

This is strange-sounding. In all the years I've bet on sports, I haven't even run into one person who believes this or performs this kind of analysis.
According to the OP's account of the man who bet them on a draw, this is nothing more than a coincidence and an act of pure chance.
But after this, I'll start paying close attention to football analysis to see if I can pick out somebody who shares this outlook or conviction.

I think that was his own strategy Which he discovered and it worked, but funny enough that might have been the very first time it worked out for him that way because everyone has his own ways of trying out luck, but am very sure his kind of strategy is not common and might not be acceptable as well by most gamblers except for those that are used to playing lottery, i think this kind best work for that and not on football gambling.

It may sound strange to most people who rarely associate with people who like lottery gambling. therefore, we cannot compare it to betting on sports. in the world of lotteries, practices like this are commonplace in various regions in any country. to the best of my knowledge there is no analysis like we do in sports betting.

But in the lottery world there is such a thing as a formula, calculations to produce numbers that will later become their bets. we can just assume, this is nothing more than a coincidence but for those who are fond of things like this is not only related to luck. although, I'm not very up on it myself on the concepts like the Op described in this thread. Unlike football betting, which is easy for us to understand, it's not as complicated for us to analyze. but this is the world of gambling, there is a lot of diversity.
