This superstition thing doesn't work, I myself, who have lived in Africa since I was born, see many people here in my country going to a healer because at night they had a dream in which they were raising money because they won the lottery, so the healer would interpret their dream and for that the healer asks for chicken to be kept, he also asks for a shirt and then the healer asks for large amounts of money and after the ritual people are really thinking that they will win the lottery, and guess what? they don't win the lottery, so why don't they complain to the healer? because the healer will always claim that those who are doing bad things for them not to win the lottery are the relatives of these people, and for that reason they need to do another ritual and have to pay more money, this supertication thing should not be taken seriously because has very big consequences
Superstitious beliefs, defined as a strong conviction based on the erroneous perception of a cause-effect association between two independent events, are considered to play an instrumental role in the maintenance of gambling behaviour. In this preliminary study, responses to eight items assessing superstitious beliefs were compared among 56 electronic gaming machine (EGM) problem gamblers, 22 non-problem EGM and 23 non-EGM non-problem gamblers. Results suggested that problem gamblers endorsed more superstitious beliefs than non-problem gamblers and that such beliefs were correlated with gambling intensity. Further research is required to determine if superstitious beliefs represent a vulnerability factor for the development of problem gambling or emerge as a consequence of involvement in gambling.
most people who believe in superstition are left with two addictions, the addiction to gambling and the addiction to walking in the healers, or sorcerers, and these two addictions are very difficult to be treated and cured, it takes years for a person to be cured and that person can't go back to gambling anymore, I hope that many people don't get involved in this kind of superstition stuff, especially for gambling
