What are your gambling superstitions?

[Igebotz]

I used to gamble and then put the slip inside a Bible, hoping to win. I used to believe that such an action could influence the outcome of a bet in my favour, but every time I tried it, I never won, so I concluded that religious beliefs have nothing to do with the outcome of a bet.

It is a game of chance, so praying will not help you win. If it did, religious leaders would have been the most successful gamblers on the planet, but this is not the case because there is a clear distinction between religion and gambling success. Anyone, regardless of his beliefs, can be lucky.

I know everyone has one even if you think you have none, like can be basic you just want to wear your lucky hat or shirt so let's discuss what those are.

It could be very interesting to know those.

Mine are simple, if I won something big then I try to resemble everything that happened on the next day or two and goes on until I feel oh no it's just a coincidence.

No. i dont have any superstitions on which it would really be that undertandable that none of these things would work on the moment or time that you would really be playing gambling.
Although there would really be those individuals who would really be having that kind of behavior on doing something on which they do believe that it would really be giving out that
kind of effect positively on the moment that they will really be doing gambling on which its kind of absurd kind of belief but we do know that each person does have their
own views in life when it comes into this aspect.

I do think rationally and deep in me know that this is not gonna play any part in the future outcomes but most of us chose to do it anyway and remember this is not just limited to gamblers but sportspersons always have their superstitious and they don't share it with anyone cause they feel if they let others know then it won't work.

Well, to compare we all know we are the responsible for everything that happen on life but we do pray if we are following any religion and that's how it is too.

Yes, it would really be just that totally depending on a certain individual because even us who dont believe, there would really be those people who would really be having those kind of application when it comes into their betting or playing on casino or whatever they are really that getting involved with. There would really be those individuals who will really be testing out
different thing as long they do know that it could potentially affect out overall probability when it comes to winning. Although they are really that aware that there are times
or moment that those things doesnt have any sense at all.

there is nothing in me to believe in superstition, if I play gambling, and I only believe in luck and the power of prayer, if it is part of winning I will definitely win

Same here.
My country  can be considered te most enchanted part of Asia and any thing you can pick down the river banks may just be a lucky harm for life. Soldiers pick some of those stones thinking they won't die when they battle the insurgents by keeping the stone. Thats more than just risking money.

However,  people like us live in a city while its already 2024. Thers is nothing like lucky charms in the city.

If these superstitions is logically and practically possible, i'd go with that. But if its like don't face on somewhere while doing things or walk under the stairs because it can cause bad luck is something i will just laugh on.

The truth is that when someone is overly ambitious and eager for gambling success, he is more likely to believe any superstition, whether true or false. Whether a gambler is gambling for fun or for entertainment, he always wants to win, so if he is told what to do to win, no matter how amusing the directive is, most gamblers will fall for it, especially if it comes from someone who has won a significant amount of money in gambling through luck.

for the most part gamblers will more likely to just find a strategy in order to win on his bets but not looking for something to put in their secret altar and hope for any demon to help them win.

gamblers especially the guys who prefers to be on the local betshops are sociable gamblers with wide networks they can chat with. when they don't have a large capital to play, they just do some side bets in the table with the strategies they learn from fellow gamblers.

Some will call it their lucky button while some a magic charm, but i don't know what same people may say whenever they loose a bet, things naturally happens to us the way we expected without putting in any efforts as well as some happened coincidentally and we are so excited about them because they came in as exactly as we have positioned to have them, all are luck base standards but we easily forget them after we lose.

I am a pragmatist and do not believe in magic and superstitions. However, I have my preferred things that I believe in. It is strange but for some reason in roulette I believe that only black could bring me luck. Not red. And for some reason I am absolutely sure of this layout. When I find bonus money for the game red black, I will definitely let you know - was it in vain that I believed in it or not.

Lol, well it's kinda satisfying to know that I wasn't the only one who tried this or had this superstitious belief that placing a bet slip inside a bible or praying over the bet had the capacity to influence the outcome of the game. Well it didn't take me long to realise that those things doesn't work and that gambling is purely a game of luck, chance and one's experience and skills combined.

Also used to have this superstitious belief that when I show others my bet coupon,  that my luck can actually be robbed, so this usually makes me to hide my coupon from others, even when my friends asks to take a peak or copy my bet, I'd blatantly refuse and verbally disclose to them the games I picked and the options I picked, but disclosing or showing my bet coupon to them is a total NO. And quite funny enough,  this actually works in my favour sometimes, or should I say, most times, because every single time I disclose my coupon to others, I always lose the bet.

It is not unusual for a gambler to have such superstitious thoughts. I have seen some gamblers who superstitiously believe their luck. (...)

Gamblers are probably the most superstitious group there is.
That's hardly a surprise though. When you engage in an activity when your success is primarily dependent on luck, you're more likely to engage in superstitions that you believe could increase your luck.
It often starts as a joke or half-serious habit, e.g. wearing your "lucky shirt" etc. and then just spins out of control.

You are absolutely right. And this is so because for inveterate gamblers, their entire fate depends on how the bet plays out. They are ready to dance in front of the screen in the hope of a miracle. I would also include people whose health is seriously undermined in the category of those who believe in examples so strongly. They are also ready to believe in fables.

I used to belief that every gambler have his winning day and until that day you cannot win and that only God can decide the winning day for a gambler. However, overtime I have realized that gambling doesn't work like that and that is why some gamblers have better winning rate than others. If such believe was true then a gambler shouldn't be winning while others are not. If you are lucky, you will win. Also, God has not business with gambling. That is why even gamblers who make prayers before gambling doesn't win.

Our brain will think the same thing when we win a big win, when we win usually our brain will direct us to do the same thing as the previous win, before we realize that it is a luck.

I think this is almost felt by everyone or many have experienced something like this. somehow even though we know that it is a coincidence but our brain forces us to do the same thing and hope to win again.

My superstition in the game, well it used to be, is that when I played the only thing I thought about was that I had to quickly change my strategy, because if I repeated it the casino would know how I would play and obviously I would lose much faster, but that was a Superstition , so things are not like that , yes, you have to change strategies, but not with that point of view, but to try your luck, another superstition I had is to think that all the strategies that we do not know, well the casino knows them, even the ones that the youtubers know.
