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

[Vaculin]

Looks like if you can't be lucky with gambling, then maybe other people are. But hey, this is gambling, the real edge is only in the house. That is why we are called gamblers, because we take the chance to gamble our funds and create outcomes without no winning guarantees.

However, if you are fond betting through relying other people's fate or luck, that's also your own strategy. But what if those people are no longer around, will you leave gambling then? This is the reason why I do gambling on my own, and not involving other people around.

It turns out that there are still many people who believe that spirituality can help them win. Logically, if for example this method guarantees victory then it is certain that the other person who gave the ticket will do it themselves and will not tell other people about the method. This means that the person has been cheated. Gambling is about luck, although skill is quite helpful in this type of sports betting, but in essence the ones who win are those who are lucky, therefore, never try to gamble with money beyond your means.

Mystical assistance is usually a short cut to people who would not like to come to terms with the bitter reality of statistical odds. It is my opinion that a secret technique can hardly be freely shared on the internet in case it was indeed effective. We also need to be firmly cemented in the reasoning that good luck is just one cause which cannot be tampered with by any ritual. I concur with the fact that cold wallet is the best means of self-protection in order to have a stable life amongst us all.

When gambling, stop putting pressure on yourself over what is not it, don't try to invoke spirituality into gambling, things doesn't work like that and if others are doing it and you are being informed, better don't follow their same kind of mentality and decision to also do the same, if you're not in for gambling to have fun, then you probably may not go for it at any time, as you are scared of taking the risk of losing.

If one wants to gamble because of fun, they will never pay much attention to the game predicted by others, and they will also not try to attach spirituality to something that has nothing to do with spiritual, and even if to some extent they try to believe in someone who gives out games with the knowledge of gambling and knowing how unpredictable it can be, it's better to stake responsibly than to go high and look for who to blame later.

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.

Winning or losing through gambling depends entirely on luck, there is no such thing as supernatural power here, if the gambler really thinks that a supernatural power worked behind his loss and he lost by gambling, then I can assume that the gambler really does not have a proper idea about gambling. The gambler starts gambling only in the hope of making money without understanding anything. Winning or losing through gambling depends mostly on luck, there is no other hand behind it or there is no supernatural power.

This is a gambler who isn’t confident in his ability to predict games but is very open to the idea of accepting predictions from other people. I don’t have any sympathy for such people, you should know the risks involved and shouldn’t blame others when you lose. He claims his friend has always failed him, so why does he keep doing it?

Very well, but we should remember the popular adage that says that common sense to annoy common so for that reason,

What does that even mean?

[Ugeh002]

Honestly, I didn't quite understand what you meant by your question, "Does gambling have any connection to the soul or to testing people's destinies?" What does gambling have to do with the soul or people's destinies? I don't see any connection.

I don't know what the story you told us has to do with your question. I mean, what was so important about the story that made you ask this question? Because I don't see any connection. The point is, if this person is constantly disappointed, what does spirituality have to do with it? The mistake is primarily his because he chose the wrong person, and not only that but he continues to choose him despite failing every time.

The mistake most people do is putting blame on people or destinies. What is important in the game understanding the risk. To be honest I don't see any connection here, gambling has to do with Risk and not soul or people's destinies .  gambling is based on people mindset and predictions. Maybe the point should be, depending on the person but constantly getting disappointed despite believing his predictions.

  He believes on his ability, forgetting that the primarily mistake is on wrong guy continues.

If we follow your logic, the luck itself is supernatural here.  No one can explain how luck happens or how luck is created.  Anything without a source that happens and can't be explained is a supernatural thing, isn't it?

A person winning in gambling in a scientific explanation point to probability and chance.  Science can't explain luck reason why science doesn't have a such term as luck, they have probability, randomness, and chance instead.

So whenever is see people testing other people's spirit through gambling sounds absurd to me.  There are lots of things where people's spirit can be tested but gambling?  I do not think so.

[jcojci]

That doesn't make sense if he tries people's spirit. He doesn't know if that guy predict the right or not. That is his mistakes placing a big bet and not accept the risk that happens. He should accept of what he is done and stop being angry with the guy.

That is a lesson to us if we want to use others prediction, we don't have to placing big bet. We must realizing the risks and just use the money we can afford to lose. No one can predicts accurately so we must understand this.

It seems to me that you were talking to an idiot. This dumbass has used a parlay bet made by another guy, placed a big stake on it and he is still angry at the other guy for the bet being lost? Isn't this pure stupidity? "Trying other people's spirit"? What kind of BS is this? If you really want to "try other people's spirit"(or other people's luck) just don't be angry at them for not having any luck. I gamble with my own luck and with my own "spirit". I can't get angry at other people for losing money via sports betting. Every gambler should take responsibility for his own mistakes and losses.

Are we supposed to be proud gamblers? Proud as people who are taking the risks of gambling with our funds and no guarantee that those funds will come back to us or whether there would be any profit making. I know a normal person will say it is better for you to use your money for business than for gambling but it also depends on the intention and the discipline attached to it.

If you are using some allocated funds for the fun of gambling it isn’t a bad idea as that does not stop you from allocating other funds for business sake. The right thing to do is to tie your funds to your activities and also based on priority. It is also understanding clearly your goals an mistaken funds allocated for business for gambling.

I agree with you. Yes this is an important point from a scientific standpoint. There's no such thing as luck but there are concepts like probability, randomness, and chance. It's also true that you can't test people's character through gambling, but I suspect some people believe that certain individuals have the ability to predict the right bet or perhaps even possess a lucky charm.

Although I believe this is not true, there are many people who believe this. I have seen many people here in my community asking a child to draw a lottery ticket for them because they believe that the innocence of childhood brings good luck.

[Fredomago]

If the other guy has always failed his expectations, why does he still keep relying on the other guy's parlay ticket?

Gambling is gambling, everyone may lose and that's okay because its part of gambling. But when your losses consistently occur because you chose to trust others more than yourself, that's something that you have to start thinking then, trusting others and blaming them once you suffer losses will not be good in the long run.

Testing other people's luck does not work in gambling. Find your own luck instead and gamble on what you can afford to lose to avoid regretting after.

That is true, why not think of his own and see where his predictions lead him to. You can't rely on someone's parlay ticket because they have their own targets and you don't know it. Also, how sure are you that the other one really knows what he's doing? Because if the other one was wrong, you can't blame them because it is you who decide for your ticket.

Indeed, that's why it's always better to do your own analysis and play or bet with your own knowledge there should be no one to be blame when you lose, especially if you are following someone  else prediction, following their tickets double the risk that you take, without knowing the basis why they put that bet you are just blindly following and if you lose then accept the outcome and try to work with your own judgement the next time you'll try betting back.

Spirit of the Luck? Damn I really use to pray for that in my mind all the time but it doesn't give me some favorable outcomes. He probably just a fool believing that gamble was just easy and that if he believes on something spiritual he'd win. There's nothing as spiritual gambling, then all of these pastors would have tried their way to make it in gambling instead considering their faith was not something to the common peeps out there.

[TheUltraElite]

Bad spirits? blame it on the spirits when it is essentially just your bad luck playing it.

Fate is such a thing but I feel that people's fate is shaped by how they approach their life. Someone might gamble away their fortune and then say that their luck was bad and hence they could not make the money.

Another person might invest that money to build something new and start a new business.

Well for one thing, it might be a random justification that the person told you; it could be a plethora of reasons that we do not know about or anything.

Personally, I haven't encountered this type of scenario that you described OP. If I were in that person's situation, there's definitely more to that than just "testing spirits" like what he mentioned. Again, you're not going to risk a huge amount of money on something that you're not sure of recovering. In that situation, OP, I feel like there's more to the story than what he told you.

Like what I mentioned above, for sure there's more to the story that OP was unaware of. Well, we could argue the "spirit" angle but I doubt that a person would risk that amount of money for that reason alone.

However, perhaps we could also argue that this is the "spirit of gambling" where you bet on random things for random reasons. We don't know but I seriously don't buy the argument that the person gave to OP.

[Oluwa-btc]

The biggest mistake a gambling addict is makes betting money he is not prepared to lose. When that happens, anger sets in. It's hard to view gambling as just entertainment, so if we don't have strict money management, it's best to avoid gambling.

I totally agree with you as gambling can be considered as financial indiscipline, putting one's needs and wants on a scale of preference, gambling falls under wants and it would be unwise for one to ignore his priorities (needs) and settle for unnecessary desires,do it's just best for anybody to go into gambling because he loves to but not having to ignore his priorities unwisely spending his hard earned money.

If a gambler have been proven to have track records of success while gambling, then it's very okay for one to say maybe let's try his game predictions, which in others word is what I guess he meant be referring to as "his spirit". But not in a scenario whereby there is no track record of success, and yet you go about staking a very huge sum of money due to greed of wanting to turn rich over night. Because if only he has used an amount he can afford to lose, then I see no reason why he ought to have been angry, because however, gambling is a game of luck, whereby you can either win or lose. And if you lose, you accept it in good faith.
