Signs you do while gambling

[fruktik]

I am finding you audacious that you write all this without even reading the thread.

I read it, but not the entire thread. Why are you so upset about my post? Yes, it's possible you're simply tired of reading such opinions, but that's part of the discussion on this topic.

It's good that you're against it. You understand perfectly well that it won't achieve anything in the end. If I offended you in any way, I apologize.

It was interesting to read the responses. I didn't notice any special movements during the game.I even asked my friends, and they confirmed it. The only thing I think like many others, is that when I lose, I sigh heavily and roll my eyes thats probably the greatest emotion I can experience. When I win, it's the same as everyone else, I guess.

Hahaha, I want to laugh when I remember a situation where I sighed after losing. This has certainly happened to me, and if I remember correctly, it was because I placed a bet with full hope of winning, but because the result ended in a loss, I sighed.
Furthermore, even when I win, I sometimes sigh. So it's not just a feeling of joy that I experience, but because the game was no longer hopeful and actually led to me winning, that's where I sigh.

Most of the time I let out a sigh out of relief or out of frustration. Whenever I play any game, there’s two scenarios playing in my mind already, it’s either the play go against me or in my favor. If it goes against me, since it’s 50/50 chances of winning, all I do is let out a heavy sigh and move on, if it goes in my favor, I’ll still let out a sight out of relief and suspense.

Your brain will use False Sense of Control to fix stress of chance game when you play such games as Tower. Although result is set by computer, your mind will try to find way out or system when you lose game which is reason why you use Habit based Actions such as crossing your fingers so that you feel steady and reduce worry levels.

Physical sign of brain chemical release, on other hand, such as fist bump after win, gives comeback feel of personal win over machine. Although these actions are common, and it is possible to find people blowing on screens, avoiding crossing their legs, most of serious crypto players are currently focused on idea of Computer based Rules in order to set limit of allowed losses, as well as with Fairness Checking tools that are used to check whether game is really random. So, these habits do not make any difference in math, but are helpful in terms of your mood.

I feel such posts irrelevant to the topic, because I already mentioned that these gestures do nothing to influence the results of the game, yet people keep commenting that they do.

Your comment has arbitrary capitalized letters (just something that my attention went to).

...some body in my neighborhood collapsed and was rushed to the hospital after seeing his betting ticket and realizing he won a very huge amount of money, unfortunately, he couldnt make it, he died and the doctor said it was cardiac arrest..

This sounds comedic — imagine winning huge money and you die before even enjoying it.

... although it's not proven that signs can give more luck but who knows your believe can affect your luck in some ways.

Holy Jesus!

Gambling can put a person under serious pressure at times, I can put one under serious stress and tension and for people with underlying health issues like high blood pressure, gambling under some intense emotional conditions can be deadly, so I understand what that sigh of  relieve actually does for you as a gambler..

But nevertheless, as gamblers, we are still responsible for our well being and should always watch out for when gambling could become dangerous for us, some body in my neighborhood collapsed and was rushed to the hospital after seeing his betting ticket and realizing he won a very huge amount of money, unfortunately, he couldnt make it, he died and the doctor said it was cardiac arrest..
We should always avoid getting ourself under intense pressure if we know our heart is to fragile to coup.

Gestures to reduce perceived tension do seem reasonable. It seems to be a habit that someone actually does unconsciously in any situation, not just in gambling. I also observe my friends when gambling; some tap the table with their fingers, and some bite their nails. Maybe that's their way of relieving tension during the game, or a way to stay focused.

It's true that some gestures like that are meant to relieve tension, but they can also be demonstrative so that other players can see them as easy targets Studying gestures is imperative for those who play poker. It's very helpful when a gesture tells us how the player is feeling whether they're a winner, a loser, or scared. There's always some kind of information that can be used to our advantage.

I guess you're right about poker players because it's a skill based game, gestures and signs can communicate the position of a player, in other sports like football you will see some players coming into the field making a sign of the cross, I believe it is for luck. Anything to boost our morale during a game is welcomed although it's not proven that signs can give more luck but who knows your believe can affect your luck in some ways. I agree that signs reduces tension especially when you are betting big, you know that a lose will be very painful so anything to boost your confidence is a plus to your morale.

When I was in the active gambling phase, I constantly watched streamers, like a guy with a raven named Karl, who was constantly spinning slots, his face visible on camera. He made websites and forums and earned a good income, but he had a huge gambling addiction, so he lived in a rented apartment with his girlfriend. I didn't see anything in the room except a bed; there was probably also a TV. So, when he lost, he'd slam his hands on the table with his laptop and get furious, causing his girlfriend to curse him out. There was a moment when he won $3,500 and jumped around like a monkey with joy, and his girlfriend came running and shouted, "Withdraw this winnings!" and also danced with joy. I think everyone dances when they win.

Just like you, I make that gesture when I want to win or when I hit the jackpot. I think it's a spontaneous response to our excitement when gambling, so we don't even realize we're making that gesture. I think there are so many gamblers who also make that gesture when they're in that state.

But don't ever do this gesture, it's a bad idea

This discussion makes me laugh, in the good sense of the word.
Don't signal is a sign of awareness about what you're doing (I don't signal) I play naturally and so I'm casual on my face too.
I'm confident in what I do and aware, even when I lose I show no signs of anger (even if I happen to have it).
In my opinion, superstitious gestures are just a personal belief. If they brought good luck, I'd go around making gestures all the time. Either I'm the one who doesn't believe it, or they just don't work on me.

I guess those two are common gestures especially the fingers crossed 🤞 - anybody wishing luck would usually do that.
Back in the old days of playing online games in internet shops, I've seen numerous times wherein frustrated players would punch the computer monitors. lol

Yes I have seen a situation like that before where a player got frustrated and just punch the computer monitor and I think this attitude is very common among gamblers especially those addicted gamblers because it is obvious that they are doing all of that just because they are not favoured. Personally I don't make signs while gambling the only sign I think of right now is just laugh because while watching football matches the players might just do something very funny and you know how dramatic this players can be most times, so aside from laugh I don't think of making any sign while gambling or watching football matches.

Now, what gestures you do while gambling?

Edit: I am very well aware that these signs make no difference in gameplay whatsoever.

It's good you've added the "edit," as it will, at least, limit some repetitions by responders.

I am in disbelief actually, because despite the edit, several users seem to responding without heeding it as if they are responding by merely reading the title or first few lines of op, much less talk about reading the comments.

Lol...the moment I saw the "edit," I knew it was for a purpose, people could be repeating the same thing, thereby misquoting you and shifting out of the constructive obvious they should talk about. This is pardonable.

But it's so mindless indeed to still see them responding to the same thing after the "edit." This confirms why some reputable users call them zombies and AI at the Meta section. Unfortunately, they are everywhere now, and the post count is majorly their target.

that is how every Gambler supposed to think and also make a decision knowing that you gambling is about 50/50 chance because there is every possibility that if you are partaking in gambling you may lose and you may also gain and the chances of losing in gambling is higher than the chances of winning, so if you have such mindset and such a decision but you may lose in gambling and they may not lose that will nothing will make you to be emotional or to be depressed whenever you lose in gambling, already you have taken the decision that this particular amount of money using to gamble can be lose at any time so you will never get depressed because of you losing in gambling, I'll see some people who run mad because they lose in gambling and also some people who are depressed because they used a money that they are not supposed to use to gamble and they lost it so we need to advise ourselves before going to gambling
