Topic: A superstitious strategy? - page 5. (Read 559 times)

Good for you if it worked but as many of us are aware of, this strategy puts the gambler into bigger risk because the idea behind this strategy is to push your luck until you get the win. Problem would be up until will you be able to endure loss multiplier? 'coz if you would follow the strategy itself, you'd double it up until the result become in favor on your end. You yourself have mentioned it, that things will not be always on your side which is why it would be always better to manage the risk and losses in gambling since winning is not certain. You may be winning today but try doing it consistently, then see it for yourself. But no matter what the result is, no principle would support that such thing is an effective strategy to all players.

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


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

If you can summon luck to be part of your strategy then you will end up being the richest gambler but luck in its truest meaning
is something that is out of your control and just happened if you are going to get lucky and things are going your way without effort then just be thankful it's your lucky day, whether you believe in superstitions or not it has nothing to do with luck, you can do all superstitious or rituals but it will not guaranty luck.

The question is, how do we know when the luck is on our side? Even if we do know when the luck comes, I would not say it is a good strategy but pure luck time.
One more thing, if I do know when the luck comes, I would not even care it is good strategy or not because the result is the most important thing.
All in all luck and strategy are 2 different thing but maybe some people may say that using the right strategy will push your luck.
I can agree with that opinion but it applies for specific type of game only where skill is involved such as poker and sports betting.

Since this is a superstitious belief, probably you can consider that as your strategy though since luck is not always there, you should not depend on it. Strategy is something that you will build along with your knowledge about a specific thing, and in gambling probably this will be your approach on how to bet, how to play the cards and strategy on how you will budget your capital to avoid get burned easily. Real strategy should not depend on any luck, if its just a superstitious then it can be ok if risk is not your worry.

it is already a risk to play a gambling site to lose and win. for me, who has been in excessive risk gambling for a long time, hoping that is very dangerous because this position will not be controlled when defeat comes. Gradually we will get emotional and surrender to spending and losing valuable things. I have experienced this and can make it a lesson in introspection

First off, you won't know if luck is on your side. It's not like you're doing something for the day and then suddenly you felt lucky and started to play. If that's the case, then everyone would not be spending their time and money in the casino without feeling that luck on them, and actually translating that 'luck' into wins. Next, how can you consider luck as a strategy if you can't use it at will? You can only consider some routine as a strategy if you can use it any time you need it in order to get the situation on your favor. If that's not what's happening, would you really consider it as a 'strategy' if you can't even harness that luck when you need it?

Superstitions, maybe you can employ to your gambling activities. But do not expect that they will work as they are, after all, superstitions.

If there's a lucky wins during your playing time, you can assume that you did a great strategy on that day but you can't expect that it will happen again next time because there's no constant luck and every time you gamble, you can experience another luck maybe in other way. I don't call this as a strategy, not unless you play the card game but if not, its far from a real strategy. Your personal strategy might be good as well depend on how you will approach the game, this will vary from time to time so make sure to have more strategy according to the type of gambling you are going to play with.

The fact with gambling is that the winning and losing time when gambling rotates. You were winning in the morning because that was your lucky period and you thought that you have understood how to win the house edge, so you decided to gamble in the afternoon but you were losing and didn't know that your luck time was over.

When I always play poker with my friends in the university,Sean use have hope when he is loosing the only thing he keeps in saying is that the winning will rotate back to him,with this belief he will continue playing till after  some minutes,maybe 30mins,you will see that Sean has started winning back all his loss and making profit.

OP, gambling is all about luck,if you have a good strategy and that day is not your lucky day,you will loss all you stake but even though,you don't have any gambling strategy and you stake on a game,you can be lucky and hit it big,I have seen cases like this.

In my opinion, luck and strategy are the perfect combination in gambling, and these two factors do have an effect on your ability to win at casino games.
Because some games are based on chance or luck to win, while others require skill or strategy to beat the house.
and winning or losing in casino games is heavily influenced by luck and strategy, but both are determined by the nature of casino games. As a result, casino players can win using both luck and strategy, and it is a combination of these two factors.
and if you play gambling without having strategy and expertise or playing carelessly it is very likely that victory or luck will be far from you.

You can't call it a strategy if it doesn't work later in the day or the next day. We can't predict our luck; it just happens to us at random, like when you win one day but lose the next. Some people do not believe in luck, but most gamblers do because it occurs only once in a blue moon. Though luck is not a strategy, we can't call it a strategy; it is just our superstition. That is why some are getting some lucky charms to attract luck and be added to their strategy to win.

Playing or betting when we see that it looks like luck is on our side is not a strategy.
However, it is more inclined to suggestions and more mature thoughts to be able to fulfill a match or bet.
Believing in the suggestion that luck is on our side is indeed good because we can play calmly without anxiety and fear of defeat because self-confidence and confidence in a game also determine our victory so we don't hesitate in taking steps to play or bet.
In my opinion, strategy is a method or action of determining positions and steps that a person must take when playing or betting with the aim of getting absolute victory.

Martingale is probably one of the most commonly used strategies in betting. I often use it when I play in-house roulette ( A type of roulette which only has 3 choices to bet at).
This strategy can allow you to get out from a huge down due to continuous loss, sometimes even take some profit. But this is really risky as all of your "investments" and at least x2 betting could all go to waste if the luck is out of your hand at that moment. We know that we can lose sometimes even 20 rounds in a row. That's the risk of Martingale.

What makes a player a good player, is the way he deals with losses and winnings, and the way he applies different strategies and techniques to tackle luck the most he can. Basically, in order to have a professional approach to gambling, you should always try to isolate luck the most you can and only allow yourself to gamble when there is enough statistical data to guide you to a good decision. Of course that some games are almost only based on luck, so these are the ones an experienced gambler should avoid.

At least, this is how I see things. We can translate everything into an equation, and when you cannot turn a moment in the game into an equation, it's a red flag and a sign that you should drop off.

Any strategy that helps you win is a good strategy even if it means playing only when you are lucky. but the question is how will someone know it is their lucky time even without trying to play a game first? If there was a way to know this, it will help a lot and be a good strategy to use as it will save you a lot of money and make gambling a dependable source of income. As you are lucky sometimes, you should know that it is to the disadvantage of the casinos and gambling places as they lose to you. On days where you lose, the casino or the gambling place are the lucky ones that day. Luck cannot be with you every moment; it has to be shared.

for example, if everything requires luck, sometimes we won't realize that we are lucky when we bet with multiples and win, but we keep playing so we don't realize it because self-confidence increases because we think the strategy used is successful, even though it's just superstition, to be honest, I always use techniques this was in playing casino and it never worked but i managed to get myself to stop before losing a lot of money

There’s a 2 definition of luck. First the force being described by the OP and the other one was favoring chance. I will skip to the first description and move on to the 2nd description since its what matter here.

The gambling we are talking here is a dice game so having a constant profit using calculated bets base on probability is impossible to maintain in the long run and that’s when the luck(favoring chance) needed to win. Favoring chance means you made a positive outcome to improbable scenario. Like hitting a win with huge multiplier and so on. On game that is purely relying on chances to winning. I do believe that luck really exist if you want to win more often. It just happened that most of the gambler didn’t know when to stop while luck is not always in our side since it’s pure random.

It's just based on luck I guess, I know I'm also a superstitious person as far as my gambling activities goes, but it's a hit or miss. So even if you go to the lengths of praying, you might not win because everything is based on luck specially dice or slot games.

So you are lucky in the morning, maybe your timing is right. But later in the noon, it's a massive U-turn on your side, to the point your winnings and capital has been swept, experience that many times as well.

Superstitions are based on unfounded beliefs but if you are winning then that's good. Superstitions however don't have a verifiable connection to the actual outcome of your bet.

It's all up to you on how you look at it but relying on superstitions as a strategy is likely not effective. Its definitely just luck. I have tried it myself as well that one morning I win and then in the afternoon lose it all.

luck is only for those who dare to take risks. but real luck at gambling for me is difficult to get or can be said to be impossible. so it is better to gamble for fun than to gamble for money.

the martingale strategy, it would require huge funds just to recover our losses. the reason I say that is because martingale always increases our bets from previous losses and sometimes continuous defeats will definitely be encountered in gambling. so if you don't use large capital, it's the same as losing and losing money.

for superstitious I don't really believe in that kind of thing
