A weird belief among some gamblers.

[AicecreaME]

In a maths view perhaps with a lottery it could make sense to collect numbers.   On the basis knowing which number combinations remain unused will increase the payout.   Like anything if your reward goes up for the same money risked, this is a better rate of return a superior yield.   Anytime you can do a bit of maths, deploy some statistics and probability to earn a few extra bucks its worth doing.
   Ideally a computer would manage all this, just going person to person is not feasible by itself but maths 'genius' have deployed such ideas in the past to a profit, unbelievable but true

Math can really be a great edge when it comes to playing and betting. It could be useful when you are analyzing the outcomes of a game and making a prediction. You can take advantage of your knowledge for your benefit. Although this will likely workout if you will do it for games that relies on calculation and data rather than being more on luck-based. Statistics and probability come hand-in-hand so math will really be your friend. Discipline will be your friend once you utilize your skills, talent, and knowledge so you won't fall into addiction.

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 think a lot of that is just mumbo jumbo but a lot of people have some odd superstitions about gambling. I think one of the most well known one is that rubbing a rabbits foot for good luck, or wearing the same shirt every game day, doing the same routine in the exact same way every time or else they think they will lose the game etc etc. I don't think any of these things make a difference personally but to each their own. You have to do what helps you and makes you feel good about your risky behaviors!!! In a way I would say it is a coping mechanism because there is high stakes and lots of anxieties when one gambles.

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?

It's really funny how people would want to believe that such thing as bad luck resulting from some other person staking on your prediction will cause you to loose your predictions. I see it as great superstition rather it's even a person with a bad luck that ends up benefiting from your lucky picks. The game picks are usually made with the bookies so I don't see how some other person's bad luck can change that.

It's better to state clearly that you are not cool with sharing your predictions than excusing yourself with the fact that the person's ill luck may cause your prediction to be a looser, how about punters on X (formerly Twitter) who share their games every now and they and still they win and their followers aswell also win and everybody is cool without been affected by the luck superstition.

Personally I don't share all of my predictions, there are those which I feel very comfortable sharing and there are those I don't, and for that which I don't it's not because I feel anyone's bad luck will affect my prediction but just for personal reasons as they may be high risk games which if I share and it turns out a loss I may be blamed for sharing such predictions so I rather keep it to myself but some other day I do share

The old believe of the gambling is the gambling will ruin the entire asset of the King,but it’s not the true in the modern days.Actually the gambling had a chance of the normal people to live like the king after the big win from the gambling sites.The money is the ultimate one in the modern days,personally money will get from the gambling make you live like a king.The gambler should not addicted to the gambling after the big win from the gambling sites,if they get addicted to the gambling will leads to big loss.So the gambler can play the game without get addicted to the gambling.So he don’t loss huge by the addiction in the gambling.

Luck does play a big part in gambling results, wins or losses. For some people, they feel more comfortable in casino games and they play certain games which they know are lucky for them. Some people may gamble on only certain sports as they believe that they usually win when they gamble on football or whatever sports that they feel luck favours them.

These are all beliefs for the gamblers and there is no logic behind it. These beliefs just give them mental satisfaction and nothing else.

~ Luck does play a big part in gambling results, wins or losses. For some people, they feel more comfortable in casino games and they play certain games which they know are lucky for them.

But you do realize that it's all in their mind, right? Games are not shoes, there's no such thing as more suited or less suited games for anyone.

Some people may gamble on only certain sports as they believe that they usually win when they gamble on football or whatever sports that they feel luck favours them.

These are all beliefs for the gamblers and there is no logic behind it. These beliefs just give them mental satisfaction and nothing else.

Satisfaction in the case of winning. But they can't win all the time, even when "they feel luck favours them". What they can do is forget about their loss right away, and keep remembering only their wins. To be honest I see nothing wrong with that as long as it makes them happy and they don't risk more that they can afford to lose.

No I don't think they just place a bet on a certain sport because they feel lucky on this certain sport over anything relating to gambling and it is not a belief either. They choose to gamble to that specific sport because they know how it works and they know things generally and so that gives them a confidence in placing their bets. It isn't just about the luck when you do a sports betting, it is about analysis. You can't put a bet on an underdog who's chances of winning against another team is so little to non, just because you feel like luck is favoring you. If are doing that, I guarantee you the outcome will not gonna give you a mental satisfaction lol.

Perhaps it was because that those are the sports that they are good at and so obviously they are going to bet on it and not play like slots or roulette or whatever games that they are not familiar with. So maybe there is small chances of luck on sports betting, but still we need to analyze games and maybe we have grown to watch this games and really good at it.

I'm not really sure about mental satisfaction though, I mean it's more of feeling good that you win in sports betting and your analysis is spot on, specially if you think that the underdog are going to win and so you bet on them and just wait for the outcome and everything that you have predicted were true. So it's all about winning and how big you won.

Many people have or carry a rabbit's foot for good luck and it is a popular superstition. And maybe many people still believe in superstition because in some countries, it is still commonly used when they gamble. They believe in these superstitious things and use them to be lucky and win the game. Maybe bringing up these superstitious things can increase their confidence in gambling so that they still use it today. But people in modern countries don't believe it at all and say it is complete nonsense and has nothing to do with winning at gambling. It depends on each gambler because they will do these things if they feel comfortable.

You actually do have a point. Individuals are drawn to what they are knowledgeable about and skilled at. Isn't that just human nature? One would naturally feel more at ease placing bets on a sport they have grown up watching, studying, and comprehending the subtleties of. With a sport you know so well, why take a chance on the wild world of slots or roulette? Playing to your skills, comfort, and knowledge are the three main considerations

Speaking of that mental fulfillment now. Without a doubt, winning is fantastic. However, isn't there a very fulfilling aspect to witnessing your analysis materialize? Particularly after you've backed the underdog instead of the favorite? Isn't it more than just a financial matter? It all comes down to feeling validated and correct. I would like to ask you, though: Is the happiness found in the magnitude of the victory or in the prediction's accuracy? For you, what really matters more?

I think these gamblers can control them very easily and this is the biggest belief among them that responsible gamblers are not limited to one place. They know about all forms of gambling betting requires confidence but too much confidence leads to losses which is psychologically dangerous. Sports bettors can evaluate their performance more easily using units than other bettors but no one can guarantee exact win as luck is involved here. It is also very difficult to fight their urge to gamble and when the prospect of gambling comes the temptation usually wins over their will.

These are all beliefs for the gamblers and there is no logic behind it. These beliefs just give them mental satisfaction and nothing else.

Talking about sports betting, they are not things that depend on luck, they depend on the level of knowledge that people can have about a certain game, you can test this to see if sports betting really depends on luck or skills, do the following: choose boxing fights, bet on all fighters from that event, then bet on the ufc and also bet on all fights from the ufc event, then bet on the main football leagues: premier league, la liga, bundesliga and serie A.

After you bet on these sports, watch how you did putting money into all the games and ask yourself: which of the games were you able to get the most information about before the game and that you put money into and won, then you will start to realize that you will be betting on games you don't like, you don't know anything about its rules, you don't know who the favorites are and why they are favorites, you don't know where to get information about the games, and it's something that's not worth it, so you won't bet anymore in games where you don't know anything about them.

and you will start betting on games where you find it easier to have all the data about the games, you like the games, you watch the games and when you do analysis you can get it right. Sports betting has nothing to do with luck, this is the first thing a person should get out of their head, sports betting does not depend on luck, it depends on each person's skills, and this is something that anyone can test. So I hope you don't waste your money betting on games relying on luck. Don't bet on things you don't like and don't know anything about.

The only thing I will gree on about the superstitious attitudes, actions or routine is that it only builds up their moral giving them confidence to gamble with a settled mind. Anything out of that is an abracadabra because it doesn't mean that when they perform those rituals don't ever lose their games' of course they do, so if those superstitious acts were really effective they are supposed to have worked all of the time but rather at random that's therefore clarifies it that it's just their lucky day's when they win and not by virtue of some rituals done. In my part of the country I see some gamblers walking barefoot into the casino shop regularly believing it increases their luck and chances of winning and such behavior irks me all of time seeing those sets of gamblers behaving so.

Of course because betting on sports where you don't know the basics of the sport will only give you the risk of losing and who wants to bet on sports they don't know about.
Firstly if you bet on sport that you know or like it can make happy because there are favorites there and also make it easier to make predictions or do research so that what you bet on can produce satisfactory results so that your confidence in winning the bet will increase.

But luck is not about belief in particular sport and remember that no one can bring luck on purpose for betting.
Meanwhile confidence can be very useful for every bet and when gamblers have great confidence then they do not hesitate in making decisions even though they have little regret when they fail because what they believed did not match expectations.

Every gambler is gambling from his believe. Someone may have that belief born from a superstition, from someone or gambler's suggestion or from his own analysis. Which is a common occurrence. I have seen some gamblers who believe in superstitions and they give it a high priority. If they are hindered by that belief in their betting then they give up betting for that day. Even if it is their superstition, we have nothing to say because they will be gambling with their own money. I have also seen them win a few bets but they don't always win. Those gamblers still have faith in superstition. But the bottom line is that no matter how a gambler gambles, at the end of the day he must rely on luck.

Sports betting is typically seen as a game of luck. You're right; its much more. Knowledge, research, and passion. Its like knowing your favorite soccer team's strengths, weaknesses, and strategy.

However, its simple to overdo it. We may debate talent vs. luck all day, but prudent gambling is crucial. Set a limit and follow it. Until then, its fun and games.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket." This applies especially to betting. Why risk what you dont know? Focus on your strengths, learn more, and have fun. Anybody notice how most betting advertising make it look glamorous and exciting? That always seemed misleading, didnt you?

If it can give gamblers confidence, they will keep doing it forever because with increased confidence, they will believe that they can win. We will never be able to change the beliefs of those who use such methods simply because we do not do what they do. Maybe they know what they are doing is futile but they believe that they cannot abandon it. So when we see superstition-related things and don't believe in them, we can leave it at that and don't need to say anything to them because they probably won't accept what we say. Maybe they will be angry with us for saying something about what they are used to doing.

Not that they should abandon it but my  irritatiion  about these rituals done by gamblers at gambling places is that why not do it at home while you move down to the gambling house with that same confidence; must it be done at the gambling house in the presence of other gamblers before it works or does the confidence that comes with their rituals has an expiration time!  Not everyone gets comfortable seeing certain behaviours been excercised in by fellow gamblers in the gambling house and if an individual complains about it then they are right to because it's a public space and people ought to consider others reaction and peace while they expect theirs to be considered.

[mirakal]

It may not be a superstition but a requirement for that person.  If they received a tip or some involvement with the players in a match what events will take place, any inside info as to who is sick or missing from that game then he has no choice.   Its quite sensible to protect your sources if you should have any.  
  I'm not arguing with anyone who could say this to me, they cant explain themselves and I dont want the trouble for them or myself.

Yes, it really happens and with that case, we should be responsible not to disclose that bet since it can also put the source at risk, especially if the one you have shared your bet has this attitude to blame others for their losses. Also, I don’t think we owe other people to share our bets to them, we all have our own analysis on the game, and what might work for us might not be working for them, so I think privacy should still be given emphasis, rather than completely sharing what we believe is a winning bet.

Maybe they have done other rituals at home, which they have to do when they want to go to the casino or while gambling so that luck can come to them. We also don't know whether it can really help them win but they are sure it will give them a chance to win. The one who should reprimand them is the casino as business owner so that they won't feel uncomfortable. The business owner must always remind its users to respect other guests. We as fellow gamblers, also can't do anything because we are guests at the casino.
