Topic: A weird belief among some gamblers. - page 12. (Read 2403 times)

Even in today's time, we see it in boxing matches where they wear necklaces. For some, it may be weird but for them, it's not weird they just respect what others are doing. Pacquiao for example wears the Christian rosary beads in his early career after some time he had that necklace with a cross to which he also bow down in the corner before fighting. The Mexicans also do this afaik.

Khabib the MMA champ has a fur hat for a lucky charm and it seems very lucky, he retired without loss.

Referring to the title of this thread, the problem of belief is a phenomenon that is familiar to me personally. In Asia, there are various cultures and beliefs that are adhered to. no exception, when involved with gambling. I personally, have no problem with beliefs that are called strange by some gamblers who think more intelligently and modernly.
But believe me, even we will never understand something that someone does with his gambling that involves strange beliefs in gambling. but certainly, they exist and as long as it becomes a principle for them, or is part of the culture. everything is legal, even they have the right to express what they believe  like what we do, which puts forward something that is more realistic and logical. but in fact, those who believe in superstition have never opposed the modern style of gambling.

As I said at the beginning, in Asia there are many cultures that some people believe can be involved with gambling, especially regarding the lottery. they will try some methods, tricks, methods, which involve the beliefs we call superstitions. but anyway, it all depends on how we interpret it. if we don't believe it, just let them do as they want to do. most importantly, no one is disturbed and harmed. I personally am more realistic, especially when talking about football betting. research and analysis, is a part that I believe in when it comes to betting.

It's really unfair if they will resort to cheating, but I guess we can no longer control that and that's entirely up to their moral if they will continue to do such to attain their goal to win and bring home the prize, or just don't do it. Sometimes, player just really needs to sort things out like their strategy and timing of bets and plays to improve their chances of winning. It's a combination of assessing their plays and having luck combined. It could work so long as they will be determined to find a way that suits their gameplay. Meanwhile, it's not futile if they decide to just quit because the moment they don't see it as something useful or adding value to their life, it's justifiable.

Well honestly I totally agree with you. A gambler must be able to see what he will bet on, and for sports betting itself it does not 100% require luck but on the other hand we also create luck that comes by doing some analysis first about one of the clubs we choose to then bet on it, with this they will be able to increase their chances of winning. And then for other gambling such as slot machines or other similar it really requires pure luck in it, whatever you do like doing it with some strategies or patterns that you have honestly in my opinion it will not have any influence, it will not guarantee your victory in the end, because gambling like that purely relies on luck alone and nothing more than that. So look first about what kind of gambling you are going to do, if you have the opportunity to increase your luck then do it.


That's right, and that's why most of them are stuck there because they often lose a lot and some even do it with some cheating. It's nothing but because it's hard to get lucky in it, and also I think maybe most of them will continue to chase the victory until they are at the worst point in gambling. In my opinion, it seems that few then evaluate to improve their game, when someone is controlled by lust then they will not be able to think normally, only victory will be able to treat it but it is difficult to get. And the choice is two, first they will continue to pursue victory and the second they stop doing it for the reason as you mentioned that they consider all this futile.

Yes.. this is where we need to distinguish between the types of games in gambling, which are luck-based gambling games and which are gambling games that require the use of skills and knowledge. Don't let us spend time analyzing the game and deepen our abilities even though the game is based on luck and vice versa we carelessly make bets even though the gambling game must be analyzed first to get the win.

Everyone wants to play fair but over time when they lose too many times there are several possibilities that will happen; First, they evaluate and improve the quality of play. Second, they decide to leave gambling because they think all of this is futile and provides absolutely no benefits. Third, it can make them fraudulent players so they can benefit from gambling.

I agree that these strange beliefs of gamblers lead them to more losses because gambling has both positive and negative aspects. No one can predict the future with certainty besides, gamblers have a role to play they are now betting more on the market strengthening. Gamblers are seen to be so optimistic about the market. Betting comes before us in different forms at different times but we have to proceed considering the loss side. Whether any gambling product is good or bad depends on how the user is using it.

That is true for most reputable and casinos who have a lot of budget.There was a case here which I don't remember the thread that some guy had found a bug in a slot provider,they didn't say which slot provider but I can say it quite confidently that most likely it has been Bgaming as this provider had the most hacks and loopholes compared to most other providers.To make a long story short some guy withdrew a huge amount and some other guy told them that he had found a loophole and wanted a bounty for finding this bug which he never got and most Bgaming slots were put into maintenance mode.The casino where it happened is not one with a huge budget.

My point is that loopholes will always be found but it is the duty of the provider and the casino to conduct regular maintenance checks to avoid such situations.

I also don't know how. It looks like there's a bug they're exploiting to win or something and I don't think about it either. I don't think it will be easy to cheat the casino because after all, the casino will know what we are doing. And if we get caught, the casino may ban us from coming back to the place, let alone gambling. It will hurt us.

That's why, if you want to have a chance to win, you can try betting on sports betting but you have to have good analysis so you can find the team.

It might work for sports betting, but we must remember that we can't win every day because the situations in every match can also change. But for luck-based gambling games, we will find it difficult to win, even if we try it every day it also won't be able to provide more opportunities. We might experience more losses that we won't even notice. So we can choose the gambling game we want so that we can be comfortable playing gambling and the important thing is that we are not fixated on getting a win. We are just trying to enjoy gambling that's all.

That's why we don't need to cheat when we play gambling in casinos. But even so, there must be people who want to try to cheat because they see an opportunity to cheat. But it's true that we have to know the consequences after committing that cheating and finally getting caught by the casino. Casinos also definitely won't let us return to playing at their casinos. They will probably blacklist us and spread them throughout the casino network so we can't play at any casino.

I think it's more about either hacking, finding a loop, or even using others as well. There are a few methods but all of them are known and I think it is going to be something that would be simple to recognize and thats why there are a lot of people who end up getting caught and they come here to complain. They keep talking about how they were right to get their money but then it is proven by the casinos that they just cheated and that turns out to be the issue.

I think it's quite important to realize that we can't do anything cheeky and end up seeing any love from the casino. If you are not following the rules then you are not going to end up with anything good and the casino will eventually catch you and take all your money.

Our beliefs shoudn't be called weird because people don't understand them, we're all free to have superstition that we follow and if those superstition aren't causing a harm to others we're free to believe them as much as we want beside not everyone is comfortable sharing.

When you share you bet and it gets copied by other gamblers and it up been wrong, you'll be blamed and some gamblers don't want to be blamed that's why they don't like sharing their bets and not because of any superstition but they're using that to cover up the main reason.

Some gamblers are always too quick to put the blame on others and not ready to take the responsibility of their losses and when you share your bet just give them the opportunity they needed to have someone to blame when they lose, it's always better to avoid this situations.

thank you again bro... without ruling out that indeed victory does not come all the time but we can create opportunities to win at any time after we know and understand the tricks to win it but this is for certain types of gambling and betting games while slot gambling has no special tricks is to win the game and rely entirely on luck. and if someone says there are special tricks in slot gambling, in my opinion, that's all a lie. because in slot gambling those who play carelessly can win and those who play seriously and use tricks can lose.


And if you get caught and are not allowed to return to the casino that is the consequence when you cheat. and this also shows that your ability to disguise the fraud you are committing is not yet proficient. There is always a high risk to get a big profit.


In online casinos it is very difficult to find loopholes to be able to commit fraud because the security system is quite tight and you cannot play with friends so you cannot commit collusion. But if for example you are smart enough you can outsmart it by hacking security in online casinos. And when there is an account suspension as a result of the hacking attempt that you did, it is the consequence for the gambling adventurer.

I think sneaky or cheating in gambling is when the gambler is broke the rule or maximize something that isn't allowed. Even you're know there's a fixed match and bet in the option that has biggest odds in order to maximize your winning, it's a cheating for the casino's side.

Usually they have a rule to not participate in group betting etc, that's what the fixed match is.

Praying before a match is a different thing entirely. It can give additional strength to the athlete and he/she can perform better then. It's because in sports your ability to win depends a lot on your emotional state. But praying or something before playing a game totally based on luck is stupid, to say the least.

Talking about playing sneaky or cheating in gambling, I honestly immediately wondered in my mind how to do it? Moreover, it is done in an online casino, is there a kind of hack or something else? I never thought about it before, because even if we can do it, I think the casino will first know and detect that we are cheating in their game, and as a result it can have an impact on permanent account suspension.

The ability to analyze can only be done in certain gambling, like sportsbets for example, and for games like slots I don't think it works.

No doubt, everything they need to have they will believe even if it sounds and looks crazy.

Yeah, I was like that before too if I am thinking and wishing to win then the opposite happens. So, what if I wish to think the opposite of winning which is losing and from there maybe I'll start to win but regardless of what I choose at the end losing is inevitable and I just have to control myself whenever I have got enough wins already.

Improving skills is the way to win gambling, but don't forget that we also can't always win in the bets we place, so we can only make better analysis. And to prevent big losses, we can reduce the amount of money for the bet so that our loss won't be too big if we lose. This is important because many of us still place big money bets and believe in the analysis we make or get. But the reality is that many matches don't go according to our predictions, which causes us to lose.

But our cheating can only be successful sometimes because the casino or the opponent will be suspicious and examine us in more detail. And if they find out that we are cheating, maybe we will be banned from gambling at the casino and no one will want to gamble with us because they are afraid that we will cheat again. But thanks for the tips and suggestions.

It often happens that they can conspire to make us lose the bet after we place the bet. And if we don't know that, we must think that it's because we're unlucky but that's not what happened.

While it is superstition to us, it is not superstition to them. They feel more confident doing superstitious things so they stick with it. And it is a common thing to do in those countries where gambling is still associated with superstitious things. But sharing predictions with other people might not impact our bets because they are just predictions.

People are indeed crazy no doubt, I mean they can do and believe all sort of nasty stuffs just to feel the urgency of satisfaction. I have said it before that some gambler even go as far as wishing their bet to be loss thinking it would turn out the opposite of their wish although when you come to look at the overall gambling experience from different people you will then know that most of these gamblers have been really frustrated to actually start thinking all this weird stuffs .

With how outrageous people can be, being superstitious in gambling is the least thing I'll ever worry about. There are people offering literally all sorts of weird and crazy things to whatever god they worship to just to win something. With that said, I still wouldn't let other people see my bets. I don't want to be on the receiving end of blame if they even copied my bets.

Beliefs will always be here for some bettors, so just accept and respect whatever belief someone has.
Each of us has our own faith, no matter what you have, respect is the main thing to approach on this matter.
I think this kind of mentality won't be totally avoided when it comes to betting because we have our own cultures,
our own beliefs, so we have some sort of feeling that we need to do before placing our bets, even if it doesn't affect the outcome of our bets.
So long you are not harming anyone, you can practice whatever belief you have on your bets. Much better if you are discreet about it so no one will comment or contradict your way of betting.

This type of image is often seen in many sports where a player prays to his lord so that he can win. I wouldn't call it superstition. Because everyone knows that if creator is kind to someone then he can fulfill his dreams. Since praying to God for anything is a personal matter. I never look down on such faith. But beyond this, many people go through various superstitions to win in gambling. I think those superstitions have no basis.
