Is this true or some superstitious believe about gambling?

[ethereumhunter]

I boarded a bus going home from the bank yesterday, then I remembered some football match had few minutes to kick-off then I brought out my phone from my pocket to place some bet, immediately I opened the bet app a man sitting next to me, tapped me and said that gambling is Satanic and I should desist from it, at first it sounded so funny and made me laugh but with a serious face he further said that it's manipulated by demons and that's why the house would always have the higher edge. He said he used to be a gambler but stopped when he discovered that and that there are demons helping the casino and sport betting owners to manipulate people into becoming addicted and getting more money from them, they give to selective people knowing fully well more people would lose and they'll gain back what they lost when more bettors lose the old man made it sound real but I don't believe that, i think he's lost too much in gambling before he stopped and is looking for anyway no matter what to discourage people from being like him or he's just being too superstitious. What's your opinion about this please?

His experience may have been very real to him, and although it may sound absurd to you, it is important to realize that each person has a different way of understanding and dealing with their bad experiences. Even though the guy has strong views and they may sound strange to you, he may just be trying to help in a way he thinks is right. In the meantime, it is important for you to remain rational and not be too swayed by extreme views, but still respect any concerns he may raise regarding the risks of gambling.

We have different views about gambling. Maybe that person have bad experience from gambling so he say like that. But for those who can use gambling as an entertainment will not say like him because they can treat gambling as well and they has limits when they playing gambling. They will not breaks their  limits because of chasing the wins because they knows that will gives them  much chance to wins. They'd rather to choose playing gambling moderately using the money they can afford to lose and always avoids the big lose by limiting their money in gambling. That's why if we wants to playing gambling, we should cares about our money and time so we don't spends too much money and not too long playing gambling to prevents the lose not to becomes bigger.

I'm not into a religious matter because we have different believes on it but most of the time people linkages the gambling as related into evil because of its effect again at the end of the day it's people's choice what they will do with their life if they want to get addicted or being a casual player of gambling so no related into religious matter.
Gambling can form to a person an negativity power so people thinks gambling are the root of it but no it's the person who made the decision.

Yeah right, don't be too naive on something if it's because of your own mistakes in making decisions, honestly what kind of person is gambling why he hates it so much because he lost a lot of money in gambling, it's because they are looking for money in gambling, spending money that he can't lose, which causes him to lose more money because of chasing defeat, gambling may be for people who are not able to control themselves will be very detrimental because he will be controlled by the ambition to win himself which eats more money in gambling to feel that gambling is very bad for him.
It's about yourself, why blame the outsiders that they don't tell us to push the button and gamble, they just offer fun, and if you're lucky you'll get a reward, simple as that.

Gamblers always want to blame something for their reckless gambling life, instead of accepting the fact that they were gambling to make profit and that made them to keep on chasing their losses and losing over and over again. It is when they gave realized that it is impossible for them to win back their losses and for that reason, they will quit gambling because they never wanted to gamble for fun but for money.

Such people will always come up with excuses to make you feel that they were not chasing their losses but was gambling responsible. A responsible gamble will know that he will run at loss and doesn't care. This is why he only gamble with little amount of money that is nothing to him.

It’s normal reaction to blame something after losing because it channels your inner negative feelings towards the things that you are blaming. Most important is you don’t take it personally and move on after the blaming part. I usually do this when lose, I blame my luck when I lose that’s why I can easily accept my fate.

Realization is easy to achieve if you don’t have any burden on your chest when loss since it’s very hard to accept it immediately if the loss is still fresh.

Such people will always come up with excuses to make you feel that they were not chasing their losses but was gambling responsible. A responsible gamble will know that he will run at loss and doesn't care. This is why he only gamble with little amount of money that is nothing to him.

Responsible gambler is not all about the size of your bankroll. It’s about knowing your limit and just like what you said, know when you will need to stop.

The house edge favours the casino in the long run, this is an open fact and there are no second thoughts on it. But still people gamble, why ? Because despite all the facts, there are chances that the gamblers will win too and they win.

The games are probably fair and its a matter of probability and demons have no roles in all this   This should not be considered as it is not due to supernatural forces but rather the mathematical principles behind these games.
It's common for people who have had negative experiences with gambling to develop strong opinions against it. We cannot change the mind of people but we should not believe in everyone's point of view. Its better to use common sense and believe only in things that seems logically true.

That is the worst behavior of humans not just gamblers, they always blame the outside for their own mistakes, and they deny themselves that they are doing wrong, and that's what makes everything look guilty in the eyes of people like that, I think there are not a few people who do that, and most of them hate other than talking about religion because they don't know how they limit themselves to something that can damage themselves, even like eating, drinking and others without knowing how much the body can accept then that person will quickly enter the pit of disease, this is the same as in gambling in my opinion.

I know the losses that make them depressed, but my annoyance is why they don't read themselves, because all of that happened because of their mistakes in gambling, gambling responsibly will be very difficult for people like that.

I don't like going by all what we see others say to be true, we sometimes also have to use our own understanding and discernment in judging over some situations in other not for us to allow them take advantage over us, if no one has ever known about someone being a gambler, i believe such word will not be uttered out to that person that gambling is demonic, we say some things all because we are aware of the situations, what about the ones we know nothing about, aren't they demonic as well, we should just learn to despise some weird advise and focus on doing what is right, having fun through gambling is never worst to that extent of calling it being demonic.

He said he used to be a gambler but stopped when he discovered that and that there are demons helping the casino and sport betting owners to manipulate people into becoming addicted and getting more money from them. Well he said crystal clear haha and if you ask Is this true or some superstitious belief about gambling? I would say everything is back to you frennn and if you are believer then or most of people will straight away believe it. I mean in my religion gambling is prohibited and something prohibited sometimes has a connection with demon or something like that.

[Unity for Humanity]

There may be some superstitions about gambling in some places but the world has become very modern and people are now trying to keep up with the world. People now laugh at things that people used to believe in. Science has made our life much easier and science has taught us to think about everything much more simply. Although some people believe in some superstitions about gambling, gambling has spread all over the world and gambling is now an accepted game in most countries of the world.

[adpinbr]

But me I just believe you should do what you think that is right and do what you want in gambling, though the person had a bad experience, it doesn’t mean he should apply the theory to you gambling because your gambling and his gambling is different. You have to understand it on your own way. You don’t need to use another man belief to analyze your own belief. Just have to take his experience and the energy to do the writing that is all you need to do. Gambling is on all about risk.

It sounds very ridiculous when they think or think that the casino owner is helped by Satan to be able to win in the long term or makes many people addicted, actually I'm not sure about this, because I think that they are addicted to it because of themselves, if blaming it on gambling is absurd. Apart from that, I don't think there is any element of casino owners forcing any of their players to gamble continuously and become addicted, by placing advertisements it is a natural thing because the casino they own is a business that is being developed, but the mistake is that many people are hypnotized by deception. from the casino owner. If they can think well where casinos are a business where the goal is to make a profit, they should be able to gamble appropriately.

Even though gambling is prohibited in some countries, I don't think it has anything to do with Satan, because this is just a business where smart casino owners can take advantage of technological developments, and those who are trapped in gambling like they are addicted to gambling are those who are stupid because they believe in easy wins. obtained while they do not see that casinos are a business.

Basically, the person may have had a bad experience with gambling which is why he warned you about gambling. In some cases the results are hard to accept and such results may seem miraculous. But such superstitions have no basis because we cannot believe such superstitions in this present age. Gamblers gamble and the result goes against them due to their mistake or lack of luck, in which case the result is not considered a miracle at all or we should always avoid all these superstitions.

What's your opinion about this please?

Hahaha...I can't stop laughing in Chinese here I hope you thank the man eventually. That would be a polite thing to do. Frankly, he is right in a way whether you like it or not because in any avenue where money could be wasted, the devil could be a tool there just to punish someone and make his/her life miserable. So we should not totally disregard that, spiritual things are real even if we are either ignorant of them or do not care about them.

However, I will not go there further than that because many of these things they relate spirituality to are merely psychological things which can also be proven psychologically. We have different human natures, some are very weak and gullible, while some are very strong, smart and wise, it depends on the one in question that determines how they give in to gambling and also manage themselves and are cautious towards it.

In another aspect other than gambling, you see how some people exhibit folly that would have cost them so much if it were to be gambling or other serious affairs. So some people could be foolish and weak on their own and I so much expect such people to become miserable in the hands of gambling if they dare it instead of people always relating spirituality to it.

Just because we can't control our urges doesn't automatically mean a spirit is controlling us.

That's hilarious !! Isn't it disgusting to see people falling for their illusions and allowing it to control them. For me, that's just you being daft; Spiritually has nothing to do with real life event, trauma, games and sports, movies etc... You gotta be way too slow to avoid things that you should enjoy, simply because your religion prohibits it.. shitttt!

It is when they gave realized that it is impossible for them to win back their losses and for that reason, they will quit gambling because they never wanted to gamble for fun but for money.

Exactly! When they begin to incure unnecessary losses, they blame them on things that doesn't even relate with the fact that they choosed on their own to indulge in gambling... How incoherent that sounds!

Edit: Unless they change their mindset towards how they perceive things, they'd never be free from mental slavery

Superstitions may certainly exist in Sthanaveda but accepting those superstitions would certainly be foolish. If we arrive in 2024 and believe such superstitions, we must be fools. The person may have found something similar to the incident that led to the claim that miracles happen in gambling.

Maybe some people believe about this since they are live on environment that believe on super natural things that's why they always think about that there's something they can do to change the result of the game that's why some of them always came up with idea that some rituals or their beliefs will work to counter the possible result then turn the results in favor with them. I maybe find it sounds crazy but still I respect their believe

No, no, there's nothing crazy in that at all. Respecting the beliefs of others isn't a bad thing, in my opinion.  

but what I really think that there's no other thing that can change the result of each game whatever extracurricular things they do since the result will always come up random.

Yep, I'm saying this all the time myself, because I want to help people to not lose a lot of their money in gambling. I mean, if their stake is $0.50 they can believe whatever they want and make that bet, but if it's more than they can earn in a week, their beliefs may hurt them.

But if they play on skilled based maybe they can change something especially if they try to familiarize the game and create a good strategy to get increase a little bit their chance to win.

In skill-based games it might boost their spirits and help them win, that's true.

The demon that manipulates people is the advantage of the casino or bookmaker, as well as the laws of the game that force us to make wrong decisions, lose our bankroll and ultimately lose. In general, it is not surprising that for this superstitious person, mathematical laws were transformed into obscure forces of nature, into evil demons. This is magical, archaic thinking. If you follow it, then you need to perform magical rituals before spinning roulette in a casino or betting on a football team to win. Previously, shamans used this way to cause rain.

In my religion, gambling is also strictly prohibited, and Satan's job is to trick us into gambling so that we are addicted or even Satan will lead us to shirk by believing in natural codes such as buying the lottery from dreams, or vehicle number plates from accidents and so on. makes us fall into things that are beyond logic. Even though we know, gambling games have a system or programmer so they have nothing to do with demons or anything supernatural.

However, whether we realize it or not, in modern times like this there are still many people who gamble, believe in things that are supernatural or related to natural codes to win a game, even though gambling games require mathematics, analysis and strategy to be able to win. I don't believe in superstition in gambling, but we can't deny that there are still many who believe in it, especially in lottery games.

Indeed, it's an archaic thought. And gamblers may not be able to maneuver the ways the casino work easily by using mathematical laws. Although, good mathematicians seems to know how dice works. But, in a slot machine, which may have been designed by advanced mathematicians, it'll only require lots of efforts to manipulate the results we get as players. However, the house actually should be the ones in possession of those laws and implements it on the machines.

But, while most of the demonic sense are diminishing in current eras it's probably not right to think of the casino as a game being controlled demonically. It only defines how lowly informed the man is, regarding gambling. The house edge has already been designed to be that way, and most gamblers are aware of this, so if the man in question knew about the house edge he wouldn't have been referring it as demons. Op would have corrected him, that it's the house edge causing the numerous losses not demons.

Shamans used this way to deceive people that they could make it rain. Or they were believing it themselves and thought when rain actually occurred after their rituals  that it was because of them. Same with gambling, since by chance anything can happen, sometimes those superstitious beliefs "work". Sometimes people think that lose because of demons, other times they think they win because of them. But in reality it's all random. No demons involved.
