A weird belief among some gamblers.

[iv4n]

We are not all the same, some like to share some don't... and there's probably some superstition involved, but that is inserted in most of us from an early age, do you remember "make a wish but don't tell anyone, it will not come true". Parents and even more come from grandparents.

I know people who don't like to share their betting picks... I don't find it strange, it's a bit funny and I like to poke them about that, but in the end, it's their choice for whatever reason, and I respect that.

[noormcs5]

I was shocked when the young man refused with the excuse that he doesn't share his predictions that sharing it will make him lose his bet.

Yes, many gamblers are superstitious. And yes, believing that someone making the same bet as you will make you lose is just dumb.
Sharing your bets has no impact over the outcomes of the sports game. Unfortunately, some people are mentally challenged.
I have read some study showing that most gamblers have medium or low IQ. Maybe having low IQ has something to do with believing in superstitions.
I have always thought that sports bettors are less superstitious than the traditional casino gamblers and the lottery players.
So far I have never seen a legit research or survey/poll about this topic(gambling superstitions). Most gamblers would try to hide their superstitions anyway.

It's very common that when you tell someone that you are good at predictions and tell the exact prediction, it usually goes in the other way around. I know being superstitious is wrong but sometimes the outcomes are such that people tend to believe in superstitious. For example, if he tells his predictions and his predictions really went wrong, this belief in superstition will be even more.

There is no cure for superstitious unless the gambler keeps on checking if his superstitious belief is true or not, for example, what if his bet prediction is still wrong even if he does not tell anyone? In that case, he should analyze that there is no truth in gambling superstitious.

So why this belief or do you think it could be true? Or is it one of those superstitious belief among gamblers?
Do you feel cool sharing your predictions with other people and how has the outcome been looking at all the times you have shared your predictions with others?

Superstitious habits are quite common among gamblers, I think that everybody is influenced at least partially by believing in good or bad luck that can come from our bets. In my country they made an experiement where they would wait outside the tipping booth and ask lottery players if they would sell their tickets for double the amount. It was an easy profit of 100% and they could just go back and get another ticket with the same numbers. Surprisingly the majority of gamblers didn't take the offer, they were not willing to give away their numbers as they felt lucky about them. The most common reply was that they didn't want others to have the same numbers,because they would have to share their million jackpot with them. This is of course very unrealistic and not a rational behaviour, but in gambling rationality is not always the main decision making. Personally I would only share my predicitions with good friends and not with strangers. When it comes to lottery I don't really have fixed numbers and pick them randomly, so if somebody would offer me money to copy my numbers I would do it.

We can't blame people who don't want to share their predictions with others because they believe they shouldn't share their predictions with others or won't be able to win. Yes, it's more of a superstitious belief among gamblers and I think it's normal if you have or often see it around you.

I once met a person who bought a lottery ticket and hid the ticket from other people so that other people would not know how many numbers he had. He even told me that he kept the lottery ticket in the cupboard so no one could see how many lottery tickets or the number on the lottery ticket.

So I don't think we need to think about other people because they believe in that and we can't change it or even force them to show us the results of their predictions. I'm not sharing my predictions because I'm worried that they might be disappointed with me if the results don't go the way they want. I better keep it with me and tell them to make their own predictions.

I have even seen someone say that after he has done betting his game, he will start having negative thoughts towards the game so that his expectations won't be much so if he actually losses the bet then no hard feelings. You can imagine that, and he always emphasize that thinking negative keeps you on the upper hand so the games would know you expecting much and eventually turn out to favour you.

This is about not having much expectation towards the outcome of the bet and if the outcome is wrong then you won't feel much pain in your heart since you already taken it out from your mind. I think it is another superstitious believe working for different people. I understand it and sometimes we apply this philosophy in our dealings with humans by not expecting much from them so that when they disappoint you, then you won't feel much shocked. This is a lesson carried on to gambling that whatever way our bet turns to, we don't feel the grieve but if eventually it turns to our favour then we take it to be one of the favours that has been done to us. Betting with this kind of psychology will help us not to bother on outcomes but just to move on to the next, like betting and believing it to be game of chance.

There's this scene I witnessed today at a local sport betting house  and I found it very funny and unbelievably true at same time. A certain young man after making his predictions placed his bet and his betting slip was printed to him then another gambler in the house approached him and asked to make a rebet of his games for himself but I was shocked when the young man refused with the excuse that he doesn't share his predictions that sharing it will make him lose his bet. More like having his luck to win reduce or changed maybe because the person he shared his games with could be someone with a bad luck on that day.

Although I have heard of behaviors like this with some gamblers  but I never believe it not until I witnessed it myself today and it was weird to me imagining how you will get to lose your bet by allowing someone else rebet it. In all my years of gambling I believe that a game prediction that will play as predicted will definitely play not regarding the number of people that bet on same prediction.

So why this belief or do you think it could be true? Or is it one of those superstitious belief among gamblers?
Do you feel cool sharing your predictions with other people and how has the outcome been looking at all the times you have shared your predictions with others?

That is just plain superstition and not something that is widely spread among gamblers.Any time I have placed bets in the local lotto club many people around asked me what bets did you make and I showed them my ticket without caring much if it will be a lost ticket or winning one.In fact at the lotto club most of us were the same people going there almost daily many years ago when online gambling was still in its infancy and as such we used to share idea and information together with each other and sometimes we even win it big so there is nothing wrong with sharing information,that guy in the story here is just one superstitious guy.

[Agbe]

That is purely superstition, and one thing in nature is that what you believe always come to pass, when you believe that sharing bet prediction with someone will bring good luck and you hope that it will come to pass and if you think of the opposite it will still manifest. But from the op story, I also say that the guy was afraid to share his game probably because of the way the person approached him if not it is not bad to share prediction though luck differ from one another. And another thing we should also put in place or mind is that we have to respect personal decision, we should not go against another person thought. Because according to the saying "Prevention is better than cure". So he was also preventing his prediction by thinking that the person would bring bad luck to his prediction. So don't blame him.

[Pmalek]

If you think about it, it's the person asking to see the betting slip to place the same bets that is being weird here. The person wants to place wagers on matches they haven't researched themselves. That's a sign of gambling addiction, where you have to bet on anything just for the thrill, even if you don't know what you are betting on.

Superstitions are common among gamblers. Lucky numbers, lucky odds, lucky teams and players. It's all in their heads and has no basis in reality.

Well, as a bettor, you'll have to respect the bet of others and if they're fine sharing it when you ask then you should be happy but if not and they don't want to share it. Just leave them alone.

Maybe a superstitious belief on the side of the bettor but it's like sharing your own thing and if you don't like to share it, you better keep it to yourself. That's what the other bettor needs to understand that he can make his own bet and it's up to him whether he'll share it if someone asks him.

Like what everyone is sharing, to each their own.

[Latviand]

So why this belief or do you think it could be true? Or is it one of those superstitious belief among gamblers?

This belief/superstition regarding gambling isn't true, of that I am sure. I do believe that the reason for that are that of copium and sense of escapism. What I mean by these two is that gamblers are gambling to be entertained most of the time and so these jinxes or superstitions are a way of coping with the losses that they will experience, with that in place, they can detach themselves from the responsibility of losing from that gamble, they can just put the blame that the moon isn't shining as bright as it should. Sense of escapism, as I've said earlier, gambling is a form of entertainment and if they can associate gambling with something of supernatural nature, they escape the realities of life and that of the consequences of gambling.

Do you feel cool sharing your predictions with other people and how has the outcome been looking at all the times you have shared your predictions with others?

I don't know much about this but predictions aren't the real thing until it's proven so I don't see the point of not sharing your prediction to other people, let them rebet on your prediction and you never know that this is how you will meet your next friend. And if there's no rebet, what's the point of hiding your prediction? I would probably understand someone doing that if the money on the line for prediction is crossing the millions of USD kind of prediction.

Once upon a time, I would have considered this behavior very strange. But after all these years of trading, I perfectly understand the person who refused to share his forecast. Now I will explain why using the example of my trading forecasts for bitcoin. When I do a technical analysis of graffiti, then at these moments I am absolutely sure that everything is right and correct. But if I share this analysis with another trader, I will have a feeling that the illusion of my rightness and confidence will crumble. I don't know why this is so, but this phenomenon exists.

I understand the feelings when it comes to trading but I do not think that the same is applied to Sports Betting prediction and in the other hand, during the trading analysis, it is very fine to understand that when too many people are using the same analysis the market could change because there is an impact. But this does not happen in Sports Betting. If the whole world happens to say that Real Madrid will have to win Manchester City, it doesn't change the outcome of the match in anyway.

I think such belief is a superstitious belief of some gamblers who think that if they share their bets with others than they will lose the bets because of the luck of those others, however those gamblers are immature because they don't really know that there are 100's of thousands of other players often betting on the same sports games. Those people should understand that they are not only ones to place those bets and without understanding that thing they won't be able to change their mindset.

Yes, I do feel good to share my predictions with people because I believe that if my luck is good and things are working according to my strategy then there won't be a problem to share my predictions with others, and if predictions go well then we all will win rather than losing the bets. I have never thought of hiding my predictions from others because I don't trust those superstitious beliefs that make us cruel and selfish as humans.

[Outhue]

Imagine someone walking up to you and ask to rebet on your game, wouldn't you walk away from him? Before you talk or judge always imagine yourself in the shoe of the person you are talking about, you will understand things better.

Either the man believe in some superstition or spirits of gambling the answer is still no, This request is enough to get me mad at someone, I am even surprised the man kept his cool and gave him a good answer, mine will be worse.

This is one reason why I can never to go any local casino or gambling house offline, you will probably meet some bad people that will ruin your luck for you that day.

This is absolutely a weird behavior from the gambler this is most common among illiterate gamblers because as a learned person sharing one betting slip or code wouldn't have any effect on the outcome of the bet, however if that is gambler personal belief of course we have to respite his belief probably he had experienced bad luck whenever he is opportuned to share his betting slip.

Personally I believe it's a superstition, though I have never witnessed such since I started my gambling journey, I was very well conversant with sharing of betting slip if betting with the same site or bookies, infact one of the ways of having edge in gambling is sharing of predictions with other gamblers this had help me alot because I my pick I do compare my bets with the shared ones,

[ethereumhunter]

Yes, it's a superstitious belief that still thrives among gamblers. They keep their bets secret from each other. But some like to share their predictions with others so that others can follow their predictions. And if they won, other people would flatter them saying their predictions were accurate. This is more to praise so that the community recognizes it and can be one of the people who share their predictions with others. But for me, because I gamble from home and no one else knows, I don't share it with others. After all, that's my secret about playing gambling; no one needs to know about it.

[mindrust]

People should do whatever they works for them. You shouldn’t lose your bets just because somebody else placed the same bets with you but there is a catch here… If sharing your bets affects you emotionally in a bad way, then it will make you place shitty bets and you will lose money because of it. Let’s just say maybe this player doesn’t want other people to be freeloaders. He spent time to do his research, why would he let anybody copy his bets? And maybe, when he shares his bets, this thoughts affect his betting process. So maybe he is actually doing the other guy a favor by not sharing his bets.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Everyone has things they think make them lose. It could be a person they think is a black cat, sharing their bets, or the sun was red that day. Gamblers aren't rationale basically. If they lose there must be a reason besides they played bad or made a bad bet.

Well, that's the truth, but the question is, if a bet was supposed to burst and the gambler in question never shared the bet with their counterpart, does that mean the bet will never burst again? People can believe that someone is a black cat, like you said, but does that mean that one can transfer their bad luck to you in a game that you have already predicted and staked? I don't think it works that way, unless maybe you are still at the point of predicting the game and the person comes close to you and discourages you not to include some odds or to make some amendment, so perhaps if that game goes bust, you can blame them and accuse them of giving you bad luck, but in a situation where someone has taken their cool time to predict their desired game and staked it, nothing like the luck of the other person will work on your bet. what must be, must be.

In my case, I wouldn't care about sharing my predictions with others, as long as the jackpot is not shared among all winners, of course. For example, if there is a 1M jackpot and you are the only winner, it is a very different story if there are two winners and you have to share the price.

On the contrary, for sports bets where there are some odds that don't vary, I wouldn't care (in fact, I would be happy if I helped someone win his bet), but in the case of multi bets where the prize would be shared, then again, it is a no.

In the case the OP has reported it seems that the reasons are less reasonable (forgive the redundancy) but I'm not surprised because superstition is specially common between gamblers. Typical case of correct answer for wrong reasons

Now, sharing a belief based on the experience that we have gone through has nothing to lose, too. I often share it, especially with my close friends who are also gamblers. As a result, I have never given a high percentage to my friends if they are very interested in trying it. but at least if they try maybe they will meet the same fate as me by getting the win. In gambling, all prizes or wins are general in nature, not intended for just one person, but for those who are really lucky.

People should do whatever they works for them. You shouldn’t lose your bets just because somebody else placed the same bets with you but there is a catch here… If sharing your bets affects you emotionally in a bad way, then it will make you place shitty bets and you will lose money because of it.

And maybe, when he shares his bets, this thoughts affect his betting process. So maybe he is actually doing the other guy a favor by not sharing his bets.

In simple terms, every gambler will have their own luck, how much they win and how much they lose will return to everyone's luck, although sometimes many of them blame the way they play that causes them to lose, but that's just speculation from them. own assumptions. Sharing experiences, or ways or strategies to win bets I think will come back to everyone, if indeed they believe that gambling is luck then they will not hesitate to share the methods they know with other people. I say this for general betting which is actually based on luck and I don't say this for sports betting because we know that we will be able to increase the chances of winning the bet if we do an analysis of several clubs that will compete, for example one of the two teams that will compete has carry out massive maneuvers for his squad so that they have the opportunity to dominate the victory and this is enough to convince a bettor in making decisions.

[Crypt0Gore]

Superstition is real, if this man believe that sharing is game with someone else to bet the opposite can ruin his luck it's possible it will happen, it will only make sense to me if the stranger promises to share half of the money with me if things go his own way   . I mean what do you guys think? Isn't this a wonderful way to gamble too?

I read some posts about people saying they will walk away from him, I won't, I will give him my own rules and he needs to abide by it, if he doesn't like it he will leave, try making money out of every opportunity .

A madman gives someone a lottery number and that same number open door for the gambler.

A gambler dreamt about a lottery number and it become a reality..

If supernatural isn't real why did all these came true?
