A weird belief among some gamblers.

[Docnaster]

I am not really surprised maybe because in Italy there Is a lot of superstition around gambling and daily Life.
Well, for sure there Is nothing scientific (for what we know nowadays )
Best solution to avoid such situation Is simple: play online

Superstitiousness is created to achieve something. In religion for instance, it is created to make the religion reverend.
If you check cultures too there is high level of superstition. As time goes it will seem that those superstitious believes are becoming real among the believers but only an external body can stand to prove them wrong.
In gambling, especially sports betting, what is described by Op doesn't work.

[Hispo]

Here in my country and many parts of the continent, there is a belief that one should never use money earned through lotteries or betting to buy shoes.

Because, according to the superstition if one spends it one's luck would fall onto the ground, to the level of one's feet.

I have a cousin who alledgely could never win again at sport betting, because in one occasion he got lucky, decided to spend on shoes for another person.

Wow...am sorry Hispo but this sound very funny to me,c'mon I think that it is a superstition belief in your place that has made that happened. So your cousin never won any bet because he used the money that he won from gambling to buy shoes for some one. This means that the person wearing the shoe has trampled on his luck. Superstition beliefs varies from place to place and country to country. If I was your cousin,I wouldn't believe this because our beliefs are what works for us because it is connected to our actions.

Well, I know it sounds rather funny but it is what people believe around here. I have even mentioned that superstition to people who live around and they are well aware they are never supposed to buy shoes with money got from luck.

I also think someone should not take superstitions in such a literal manner, but it is what it is. I think it is a common think in small populations, for them to have superstitions.

The superstitious things are natural in my opinion, because humans have analogy and parable "like" in an action then he found justification for what happened to him in the past, then there were some people who also experienced it so that such a parable sentence Getting justification by others who make it a belief in the next generation because it will be a prohibition for those who are intended not to make luck in others in the future, so that it becomes a belief to this day.

The name of that belief in some ways cannot be analogous because the brain cannot reach at what point is responded by our souls and hearts, maybe this will be fairly funny if consumed by logic, but it is different if we consume it with our hearts.

I think you are pointing out the fact our brains are very good to try to find patterns or association between things, even though they could have nothing to do between them.

So perhaps, someone would bet in a particular match while having a good time with friends, and win. Next time he is alone and turns out he lost his money. The person will start to associate the company of his friends as a "charm" and try to get them all together to see whether he can score a right prediction again or not, if he does (by pure chance) he may become completely convinced of his experiment.

Yes, I agree with your comment. The human brain often seeks to find patterns or associations between events, even if they are unrelated. This can lead to the formation of superstitions and beliefs in random coincidences. Due to such associations, people may start believing in certain charms or rituals based on their past experiences, even if those experiences were purely coincidental. As a result, these beliefs may be passed down through generations.

It would be a continuous cycle and kind of behavior would really be that very common yet human brains do really loves on making up and observing some patterns and on the time that they would be able to experience up
some winning situation then they would really be trying out to remember on what are the things that involved or been really be able to encounter along the way on which it would really be that tending to be included
on the next session that he would really be into. This is a normal approach and behavior on which people would really be trying out to apply and this is where beliefs would be molded out and even with the oddest
kind of belief would really be created.

You cant really blame out someone on creating up something like this which it is really that part of our instinct on having this way. This is why just let those people on having that kind of approach.
Its true that not all things would really be that effective because when it comes to gambling then it all matters with luck and everything would really be depending on chances.
This is why we do really came up with lots of varieties when it comes to these kind of patterns on which people would really be following later on.

[Weawant]

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?

I don't see a problem with sharing your predictions with others and I don't believe if I do it that it'll make me lose. Sharing your prediction with others doesn't change the games that you have already booked so why will it reduce your chances of winning the bets, they're just superstitions.

I don't believe in superstition because the games are global and what you believe in doesn't after those in other parts of the world. It could affect those in your part of the world but has nothing to do with others. Superstitious are also not real, they just boost your confidence.

And they can also make you have less confidence in yourself but this works for only situation when you haven't done the thing you wanted to do but if you have already played the game then the superstition has no effect anymore. Sharing prediction isn't a wrong thing to do.

Well, that kind of belief may work or seems to work for those who believe in them,  just like every other form of belief it's remarkable enough to say that those who have built such beliefs in such superstitions have the life worked around such mindset and whatever happens to them in reality,  they try to ramp it around that line of thoughts because there is no logical colouration between reviling your bet vs the result and there is nothing that can influence the result of the game negative or positive.

This is not the first time I am seeing this kind of situation most especially in physical casinos where gamblers have physical contact.

[QueenVera]

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?

Different  people have their Different beliefs that they feel works for them whether superstitious or not, that believe is what they live by and most times it works for them, left for me I don't think that sharing my predictions with another bettor would bring me badluck because I was introduced into gambling by a friend who has some good strategies of making daily profit from sports betting, to convince me into the game he shared one of his predictions with me and it came out successful and that's what got my attention to sports betting because he was able to prove his winning ability by giving me a predictions that made me win good money on my first trial.
 However, I've also shared some games I got from him to other friends and it also came out good except for the one's who out of greed decided to include some games to the predictions I gave them, now what I'm trying to say is that everyone have the way they picture certain things and most times it might not seem right to the next person but if such things have been proven, like in a case where someone has shared his predictions severally and it turns out bad but didn't share and won he might start developing a mentally that sharing his bet brings badluck and continue with that believe, though I'm not superstitious and I don't believe in such.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

I have heard and seen some bettors refuse to give out predictions they think will win due to the fact that they don’t have money so they feel if they give it out the person who’s going to wager on it will be the one profiting instead let the game end without anyone winning.

We will always have a mixed and contrary opinions from different categories of gamblers because each person has what he's upto in gambling and there's a level to which they can go along with other gamblers in some certain conditions, it takes me nothing giving someone the opportunity to win if am sure about the game and have no money to bet, but someone like me may not accept any offer from other gaamblers because i have my takes being selective.

[Mr.suevie]

That is nonsense, mate. Some people are just so deliberately wicked and greedy that they don't want you to have their luck. I mean, they would not want a situation where if they win the game, you will also win it because of their help. Sometimes, too, some people are just so uneducated (like illiterates) that they end up living with some kind of superstitious belief. So, in either case, the man is probably affected by one thing, either illiteracy or greed. I have not heard of anything close to this; even in my area, you will see gamblers share gambling codes among themselves that another gambler has already predicted and staked.

Well like you have already said, illiteracy is like a disease and it does make people think differently harbouring some strange believe and crazy principle that when you think about it actually looks very stupid and crazy but for this type of behavior I have seen lots of gamblers do this and they always stand on their word about not sharing that if they share they are going to lose and if you check well even if they don't share they still lose so the essence of them insisting on the secrecy of their bet placed is just one whole stupid believe.

I don't believe in superstition because the games are global and what you believe in doesn't after those in other parts of the world. It could affect those in your part of the world but has nothing to do with others. Superstitious are also not real, they just boost your confidence.

And they can also make you have less confidence in yourself but this works for only situation when you haven't done the thing you wanted to do but if you have already played the game then the superstition has no effect anymore. Sharing prediction isn't a wrong thing to do.

Inadvertently creating an echo chamber where people are influenced by each other's ideas and lose their capacity to objectively examine the games is a risk when sharing forecasts. The false sense of security you describe can easily lead to excessive gambling.

Also, its important to remember that despite your rejection of superstitions, people are, by nature, pattern-seeking creatures. The very definition of superstition is the human tendency to see order where none exists and to give significance to chance. It's an integral (though fallible) aspect of the human mind.

You can't prove it when bets don't affect the match, but I remember watching a video about this kind of belief. The video mentioned that sharing your secret way to success becomes less effective when you begin to share or talk about it.

I'd say i'm glad to share my predictions because there are gamblers interested in sports betting but not all have an idea about the sports they want to bet on. More than half of the bets i've shared are probably losers because I don't always stick to one sport.

Not sure what is your problem with it when it is clearly said that it is His belief and you should not care about that? make your own bet slip why ask for His?
and maybe he had been holding those set since then , actually I also do this some time ago , but not in sports bet but in other gambling like lottery or in local gambling like betting for the last digit of basketball scores that we called ENDING.

Sharing prediction for me is sacred, it is only mine to win mate and not with others.

Maybe I will share table in other gambling game but not in prediction one .

[Pierre 2]

Its just another gambler superstition. Gamblers have many of them. I think you can never scientifically explain this cause bet is already done so someone other won't affect its mathematical possibilities. But if gamblers feel violated when they rebet his bets I sort of understand him. The guy probably wants it to stay private possibly because if he wins only person that will know is him. That gives me sort of personal feeling.

We know that there are other people who believe in superstition and there are others who do not. Then it's just common sense, why tell others your prediction because after you did it, it will appear that they can also copy your prediction and get it right, there will be many of you who will share the winnings, at that point will you agree that there will be a share in win?

[danherbias07]

It's not true. In online sports bookies, many gamblers do share their parlays in the chat place. That means anyone could tail it. I actually did it once provided by a VIP platinum member and the odds totaled by x4.00 - 4.99, if my memory serves me right. It won and I thank him, he replied back with "no problem" and then I was shocked many gamblers did thank him too. That means the superstitious curse that you are telling is not true. This is also the first time I heard of that belief.
I don't have anything like that kind of superstition when it comes to sports betting but I know a lot when it comes to casino games. Well, maybe whoever said that before his bet was duplicated must not want his picks to be shared and that's the only reason I can think of because I don't think it's real or true.

Maybe after seeing our predictions, they will have more information that can add to the details of the information they have collected. But to share the winnings, we don't know if that person is willing to share the winnings because we have already shared our predictions with him. It depends on each person. After all, if we really want to share our predictions with others, we just give them and if we don't want to share them, we also don't need to share them with others so that if we win, we win on our own.

For an outcome that neither hard work or money can predict but pure luck refusing to share your predictions because the individual thinks it will bring back luck is just a superstitious belief. On the other hand, I wouldn't blame the person it could be that they have noticed a pattern of loss whenever they reveal their predictions to others. And mind you, this may not be connected to it in any way as the outcome of their predictions is not within their control.

I don't know how the sharing it would be, is this sharing your winnings to someone because you think this is mandatory out of humanity? Or sharing your winning percentage since nothing wrong with this as long as you can get your fair share of winnings since at the end of the day you can talk with those guys with our experiences and laugh on somethings you made and discuss on what would be the next possible bets you do.
