Topic: A superstitious strategy? - page 2. (Read 576 times)

I've also heard same experience in gambling whereby i play the dice on a start and i begin to make winnings for a couple of days and later to discover that i begin to loose beyond reasonable control till everything got lost, let me say it's a kind of luck that works with some arithmetic randomization whereby you win and no matter how you play smart enough you will still loose, but the wise gambler will always stop and pause after making the first winnings to continue some other time

First time to hear that game called casino war so I got curious and do more investigation, only to found out that this game was a card game but AFAIK, the martingale method mainly works in dice games. Maybe this was the reason why you aren't successful at the end. If happens that you win at your early tries then you should also learn how to stop.

Take a rest for a day or two because it's also not possible to win consistently as we know that there are house edges in each casino games and dice is one of the games which has a high percentage of it but I don't know about casino war if how much is it's house edge. It could be higher than in dice.

This is not to say that you really have to try a strategy that long or multiple times to 100 days before knowing what result you are getting. A losing strategy consistently give you loses except for few times so all you need is to drop it and try another likewise for a winning strategy. Is not necessary to play for 100 days just to look for result.

The bad luck and luck factor as you experience it is common for many gamblers to experience it, luck at night with successive wins, in the morning if they continue the game overwritten bad luck with regrets of defeat, for that is my experience of gambling, if luck is on my side automatically my hands and brain are immediately ordered to stop, if I continue phenomena like you are experiencing will definitely follow.

Gambling is gambling, bad luck is bad luck, luck is luck, superstition is superstition.
In gambling some Superstition actions do have a connection as I have experienced, namely fate or the supernatural, all of this has a connection like lottery or other bets when fate is on our side.

Bottom line: if we can control our own greed in the world of gambling everything related to winning we can enjoy without losing again, superstition is not the main ingredient, self is the most important and decisive.

Martingale betting is sure one of the most common strategy in gambling, however, house edge will always win in the end. Everything plays on statistics, casino games are designed with casinos having the advantage. Even if you play "x" amount of games you will end up losing more games than winning. In Martingale you increase your bet everytime you lose to cope up with your losses. I've tried this several times sometimes with the smallest bet possible. I've experience 32 losing streak bets which ended up me losing all my funds.

Luck and strategy are two different things. But the importance of both is much greater in gambling platforms. Some gamblers use luck as the only tool, while many place a lot of emphasis on strategy. But a gambler must proceed by applying his own strategy and then rely on luck. As a strategy a gambler can find various ways that may seem superstitious in reality but there is no way to ignore it.

Indeed a good strategy, but yes self-control I think also is main key. To be honest I often experience similar, and yes difficult to stop playing. When I win and then being emotional by betting big amount, with expectations win big but result is lose. Good strategy if we know when to stop and when to continue, but my brain always thinks differently because the results of huge win are usually also always surprising.

When you play dice and if you win, the best thing is that if it's enough you manage to have that part of the balance for you to enjoy and the other part for you to continue enjoying it, what happened to you happened to me a lot, and you feel Too bad for losing that way, because at one point you have a good balance, and then if you start playing later you lose it, it's not pretty, it's not nice, you can even get sad, and with every reason, but the advice What I give you is, try not to use the martingale (the first option), the other thing is that when you have good profits, half will laugh (you must enjoy what you tried) if you lose your other half it doesn't matter, that can happen , but at least you removed the other one and enjoyed it, that's better than losing everything.

Its a good strategy but you need to have the self-control to restrain yourself from gambling when luck is not on your side, honestly it hard to do this because it's hard to stop gambling when you feel that you are unlucky at the start of the game, only a few gamblers will have a change of heart and mind in the first few minutes of their session, its either you lose everything or win and decide that you had enough.

That's more like it. Let's just try to enjoy our game with our without knowing if that stated luck is on our side because we have our own reasons too why we play at the casinos in the first place, some of us just want to blow off some steam after a long day at work and some are trying to get some profits while trying to entertain themselves and that's where the luck is important. But if you're that gambler who's just looking for a past time, I doubt that luck is really that important to you.

You didn't tell to everyone what's strategy you're using when you're gamble during at the noon? you're just tell during morning you're using martingale strategy.

So if you use martingale during at the noon, this mean there's no such superstitious strategy and luck is happen in randomized. If you're not use martingale strategy, so superstitious strategy could happen, but you're only gamble for one day, you need to repeat for at least 100 days to know the chance.

Not really, because how do we know that luck is going to appear during our gambling session or not? There are usually not many streaks like you had, at least for me I usually play around the 50% winning/losing ratio. How many games would it need for you to find out that today is a lucky or unlucky day? And once you start gambling to find out how lucky you are things could turn around quickly again. I had nights that start very terrible and I still managed to make a profit in the end. Martingale is a good strategy in my opinion and I use it quite often. It does require a lot of capital and time to be successful with it, and one bet can make the difference between having a good night and a bad night. It only takes one win to recover all our previous losses. Having superstitious based strategies in gambling is not a good in my opinion.  

Although the game of dice is more dependent on luck, some gamblers use strategy and it is up to them which one they believe can help them win the game. But even so, because dice games tend to depend on luck, gamblers who use strategy should realize that they have to accept whatever the outcome is and not blame the strategy if they lose. But they can change their strategy if the previous strategy doesn't work well so they need to use another strategy.

No...? I mean in the first place, I doubt you can define when luck actually "appears". Even if you go ham on a few tens of bets in one session, it isn't out of there to suddenly lose out when you feel confident and do a big bet. I mean if you actually can, then hell yea, who would be dumb enough to call that a bad strategy? Sadly enough there's no UI indicator in life that says when your current luck is maxed out or about to empty out, so really, it's a risk no matter what case.

It is a great feeling. With luck on our side, it feels like we are moving forward and just continue playing. However, we do not know when we are fortunate or unfortunate. We do not know when luck runs its course. When it starts losing I typically stop playing before I lose all of my winnings. When playing, I always try to gain momentum, I try to play with minimal bets first and see if I can win in consecutive. I simply stop if I continue to lose because that is a sign that luck is not on my side.

The gambling games are not designed to work with a player's superstitious believes. These are algorithms designed in a way that'll suit everybody such that they'll keep on playing games. Trying to map out a specific time as regards to the fact that you won mainly at a particular time is a fake imagination, and it'll fail you more often. Always know that you'll win and loss in gambling it'll help you get over so many unimaginable thoughts when it's your time to lose money. I've lost games in roulette rapidly that I got worried over what's actually going on even when I bet the most likely to win slots things go wrong, but that didn't mean, if I continued playing the game, I won't win again. Unlike your superstitious believe that is centered on stopping to play when a player thinks that luck is not longer on his side. That will dull the fun, if a player has not exhausted his bank roll mapped out for the gambling game and still wants to play while losing out rapidly, he is enjoying the game and it's not a bad idea. Sometimes the next game would be another massive win. That's how gambling works; scheduling time is not advisable unless you are a mystic it's left for you to be superstitious.

Additionally, if that's the way you think it works then I think my friend can continue the game to know if luck is on their side when mine is gone.

Kinda yes, because it's actually good for our mental state while gambling, it kind of develop a good decision making when you're making a bet. However, it's never a guarantee that you're only betting when you're feeling lucky, because sometimes, emotions will take over you most especially when you start lossing and you're trying to win back what you have lost. That's just the hardest part when you want to follow the kind strategy.

That would be a great "strategy", if you successfully predict when you will have luck and when you won't have luck.
There are times, when you have luck at the beginning of the game and later on your luck disappears and you lose everything.
Can anybody predict their luck? I don't think so. Superstition doesn't help at all, when it comes to predicting luck. It's just a placebo effect.
It's like all the traders, who are trying and failing at timing the market. "Buy low, sell high" sounds like a great "strategy". The problem is that almost nobody can predict the market. The same thing applies to gambling and "having luck".

There's no way to measure our luck but when it's there, you'll notice it with your bets and outcomes. When you've been gambling for a long time and there's no superstition that you've relied on, there's no encouragement that you'll get from any of it.
And for the opposite side, when you've been used to it and has believed a lot with everything that happens to you. You'll think of every move you do before, during or after you gamble with superstitious beliefs that you've known.
But as a gambler that have seen a lot from it, whether you believe or not, there's nothing wrong with it. Just gamble all the way and don't mock others with what they think with their gambling styles.

I don't think we know when luck is on our side. When it seems like it's on our side, everything can turn upside down. I don't think we have a parameter to measure it. Of course, superstitions can motivate us, but I don't think they will do any better. That's why I don't look for too much rationale when playing casino games and that's why I try to bet on sporting events as I think they are more predictable in general. I play casino games for fun, but I definitely don't prefer them too much.
