Does gambling has anything to do with spirit or testing people’s fate?

[bitLeap]

Just today I saw two guys arguing, and one of them was very angry. I was curious to know what the issue was because the other one was trying to compensate him with other stuff. When he left, I asked the angry one what the issue was; he said the other guy was a "messed up", and he proceeded to tell me the other guy gave him a parlay ticket last week, and he used very big money to stake it and he lost it.

Then I ask him why he was so confident of the game to the extent of using big money that's beyond what he can afford to lose, because it's obvious he couldn't afford to lose the money. And he said he always tries people's spirit, and this guy has always failed him.

I am making this thread to know if you all have come across such a situation and how possible is this spirit stuff is. Because he can't stop being angry with the guy that gave him the ticket.

This is what happens when gambling isn't balanced with rational thought. Unrelated things are often used as mystical/spiritual benchmarks, etc., and this occurs when gamblers become overly delusional, feeling they have control over their bets, believing winning is theirs. In fact, they have lost their sanity and can no longer distinguish between luck based and skill based gambling.

Gambling outcomes are governed by probability, payout structure, and house edge, not fate or spiritual favor. What's real: bankroll limits, stake sizing, stop-loss rules, and session caps. "Fate" is not. Believing in destiny often leads to chasing losses and delayed exits.

In casino games, expected value is set by rules and odds; over time, negative EV dominates. Short winning streaks can feel "destined," but they occur naturally in random sequences.

What does this even mean? Is that angry guy trying to find a universal prophet among people? Moreover, this angry guy is ready to spend his money on this "prediction testing", although losing it upsets him so much (which means the amount of money is critical for him). It's a very strange story. I don't understand the meaning or the purpose.

Honestly, this sounds as one of the most ridiculous stories I have seen here on the gambling board. Why would anyone even ask for the services of someone who allegedly has the power to see the future or the destiny of others?

Obviously, gambling does not have anything to do with spirits or fate... it is random number generation and entropy (slightly favoring the house), otherwise casinos would be drained by people who have those abilities. In reality, those people who say to have special powers to see the future, destiny or to communicate with spirits in order to get privileged information would all lose their money if they are before a slot machine.

In the end, it is about mathematics, the same mathematics which allow people to live a modern life thanks to technology...

It's very irresponsible of this kind of gamblers to mingle external structures like spirituality with gambling which is very unrelated. Humans always believe in things they can't see or understand and try to use it for their life experiences, in cases like this it's best to add it up to be a sign of compulsive gambling.

So two idiots are arguing on the street... One idiot has a winning combo, and the other has money. It's like in a movie, and some movies with idiots can be funny, at first.

Does gambling has anything to do with spirit or testing people’s fate?

Yes! And OP described how it works... you blidnly decide to test people's fate by spending money on their crazy ideas. And if it's their fate, you will make some money, but I guess in most cases those are fails... but here & there, some crazy idea will pass.

By the way, every bet is some kind of test... we make a bet, and after we see the results, we can talk about good or bad luck/fait/spirits/etc. If we win, we can thank those spirits... and if we lose, we can curse them. And for all the good & bad in our life we can blame them...

Sometimes taking responsibility for our actions is uncomfortable (hard)... and it's a lot easier to blame "someone or something" else.

The straight answer is a no, that is what I can conclude because relying on some random events and term them spiritual impact can be misleading. If gambling have anything to do with spirituality, then the metaphysicians and other spiritualists would have been leading in gambling but the record of jackpot winners in history does not include any of them. That shows that gambling is a game of luck that is not controlled by some spiritual forces.

.... And he said he always tries people's spirit, and this guy has always failed him.

This post is looking like something is missing here. He has tried the guy before now if I can understand what always failed means, so why going through such again and expecting his spirit to work on the it. First, there is no believe in the spirit of someone who give you a game to play that it will be successful because if it were to be successful then the person will choose to play it himself. There is no magic in gambling and to think that a supernatural influence comes on gambling is superfluous and unrealistic. Gamblers should learn to be physical with the games that they play, they should do research and analyze games even if they were handed down to them.

Does gambling has anything to do with spirit or testing people’s fate?

In my view, humans often feel mental pressure, such as stress, facing a financial crisis, pressure and so on, which is what everyone who is involved in the world of gambling feels.

So talking about Spirituality, yes gambling has something to do with humans/gamblers themselves, where humans need inner peace, peace of mind, where they are connected to nature, strength, fellow human beings and so on, every human being carries out spirituality which is formal religiosity in the soul of every human being, regardless of whether they are aware of gambling or other things.

I've seen many cases like this in my country. People here post photos of their bets before the games start, and unfortunately, this has led many other people to copy every bet. When they win, they praise the person who posted the photo of the betting slip, but when they lose, they criticize and threaten the person who posted the betting slip. This has nothing to do with any spirit or test of faith. It has to do with the lack of intelligence of these people who bet money they can't afford to lose.

Gambling should be done by your own betting choices and not relying on other people’s betting choices,I haven’t heard of this testing people’s spirit before in the gambling space,I think this is the first time I’m coming across such statement.People would always blame you when the outcome of what they derived from you failed,that’s why I don’t decide for people in terms of their betting choices because if the result turns out negative I would be blamed for it.But there’s one thing there I still find funny in the Op’s content,this same individual has been giving him odds but still he’s keeps failing,why don’t he desist from taking unsure odds from the individual?

I think situations like those described by OP are the result of a combination of people who are both too irresponsible to take accountability of their own choices and also are desperate for money to the extent they are willing to trust whoever tells them there is a guaranteed way to get it.

It is unfortunate, but there are thousands of people who are both greedy and irresponsible with their own money, and they are taken advantage of by quacks and fakers.
If I was in my power, I would allow people like that to continue to risk their money in gambling, until they get more mature and understand what gambling is actually about.

There's nothing that concerns spirituality with this, the fact is that he made a mistake by staking above an amount that he can afford to lose while trusting the instincts of someone else. All I can say is that he's a beginner gambler, the more he gains personal experience and starts learning things for himself his mentality will begin to change. He wasn't forced to bet based off someone else's idea so he has no right to blame the other fellow.

Spirit I don't get what you are trying to say man, because gambling is a physical thing and their is no such thing like spirit, if you say luck then I can agree with you to some extent, but spirit on the other hand is something that people can just manipulate and frame up if you give them so much attention on that, and that been said, the angry guy should be a newbie in gambling if not, he should have known better that there is no such thing as eternal forces controlling gambling results.

It is never wise to blame others for your own mistakes. The person who gambled out of greed or self-confidence is the one who made the mistake. When he lost, he could not bear the loss and now he is blaming others, which he should never do. I have a question for those gamblers who blame others for their mistakes is that If they win big bet, do they give any part of it to others? If they give part to others, they can blame others, but that is never the case. Moreover, they have not been as careful as a gambler should be when gambling. They should never bet more than they can afford to lose. If a gambler does something like that, I think he is rather destroying his own personality.

It is also obvious that the gambler in question is not a responsible gambler, if he's a responsible gambler he wouldn't have stake with a huge amount of money. It's a pity that he trusted other gamblers bet, what be should have done when he received the bet was to stake with a little amount that he could afford to risk and not just go all in.
In gamble I do not trust any spiritual things, other gamblers might have one or two things that made them believe that there are spiritual involvement in gamble that is making them win, but I don't think so.

[Finebone]

And he said he always tries people's spirit, and this guy has always failed him.

If the guy has always failed him, should that be about spirituality? That should be about common sense and logic. Someone has been given him matches to bet on, he has been betting on the matches and he is losing but he continued to use the guy bet to bet and he continued to lose. There is no spiritual about this, gambling is risky.

Exactly man, you have just said my mind here. When reading through the op I was just wondering how come about the spirituality when it was very clear that the guy that gave him the game is not that good at analyzing games.

Their is no way a gambler will run into trouble if he or she is gambling only with what he can afford to lose, but once you gamble with what you can't afford to lose, that's where all the problem lies. I have heard of how a student in my locality went ahead and gamble with his school fees and lost everything, so because he doesn't know how to face his parents and break the news to them, he went ahead and committed suicide. So gambling responsible is a healthy practice we all should endeavor to practice if we don't want to be broken by gambling.

I also think the player relies more on their own feelings, trying to draw conclusions, avoid repeating mistakes, and so on. I see very little spirituality here, and it's minimal. The player tries to progress from simple to complex, gradually, although, of course, many begin to believe in trials of fate and other spiritual concepts because luck has such a fickle effect on players. Frankly, there are so many different situations where a player lost a lot and then won much more and became rich that after that, you could believe in anything, including spirituality in the game.

I am pretty sure that would translate to testing his nerves or their friendship. Because otherwise i don't make heads or tails on what you are talking about with "possibility of spirit stuff".

Everyone has their limits and breaking points on how much crap can they take from a friend, and if that friend has long history of "messing up", why would they need to be calm about it?

Also, why would someone gamble with an amount which is beyond they can lose? They are literally counting on the fact that they could lose it. It can be found from the definition of "gambling".

Simply a superstitious belief. I hope he has learned his lesson never to put his trust on humans. I wonder where your friends keep believing him when the games always bring losses.

I would prefer to do my analysis, check predictions on several platforms, and make my predictions. I don't think anybody has spiritual powers or gifts to always predict games accurately. Gambling is determined by experience and luck
