Topic: A weird belief among some gamblers. - page 14. (Read 2403 times)

It's delusional to even think that anytime you gamble, money is expected to double, gambling doesn't work that way. When you do, you will be left disappointed and the fun of it will turn to hate. As a gambler, any money you want to use to bet should be seen as a forgone, it should be that way even if you know in mind that something can be won at the end of the day and when the game comes as expected, that's fine and if it doesn't, that is also fine, that is the fun of gambling in the first place but situation where you expect return and it doesn't, you wouldn't even think about playing the next; I think in summary, Gambling is not an investment because is only in an investment you will expect money in returm.

If you are engaged in an activity that requires luck for being successful, it doesn't provide you an excuse to be superstitious. I mean, you can be, it's your right, no one should be judging you for what you believe, but being superstitious can become problematic, and it surely never helps. Don't do that to yourself.

What is said by @ len1 is normal when someone wins and the news spreads to many people so they ask for a little of their winnings. And that has happened everywhere so it's up to us whether we want to give them something or buy something that can be enjoyed together.

We can tell people who ask us for predictions by saying that this is a prediction that we don't know whether we can win or not. We must explain that each bears the risk and should not blame us if the prediction is not correct. That way, they will understand the risks and try to analyze them themselves.

As long as people can accept whatever the outcome will be, I think it's okay to share predictions and maybe later in the future, we also need them and ask for their predictions too. So this can become a friendship relationship between us and them so that we can establish a relationship by sharing these predictions. But each one must know about the risks of the predictions we get from others so we won't blame him.

Gambling aims to attract more people to the casino by providing promotions. Becoming the top in the casino is not required because it is an achievement that every gambler can achieve but they don't need to achieve it if they feel it is too much. But by making predictions and then sharing them with others and being able to give winning results, that will make us one of the experienced tipsters and maybe that's what can get us into the list of top tipsters in the gambling business.

We win when it's our time and losses when the system worked against us. The whole objective of gambling is for us to come out on top, which is a simple short form of wagering on games. Luring individuals to gamble with your own strategy is not recommended because it is unimportant and leads to their blaming you when their attention on games does not go as planned. Weird beliefs among gamblers? It's probably possible to make accurate forecasts on games for your colleagues, and it's free. We shared our games, which have a 50/50 probability of being explored or disregarded.

True, each person does have their own approach when it comes to things on which some might really be that too mindful about their bets and doesnt really end up on sharing it out and there are ones who doesnt really care
since they do know or been wary that it would really be requiring still that luck factor on every bet that gamblers do make. There's no such thing that could be able to alter out or would make out some sudden change like
been copied by other gamblers or would re-bet but of course we do have our own beliefs in life on which we do follow and lets just respect others people perspective because we do have that different mindset and different set of things that we do believe and just let them be.Its not really that totally something new that people do have those kind of behaviors on speaking about affecting their luck or having that kind of
steps or whatever things that they are doing. Sooner or later they would really be still sticking into that idea whenever they would really be having that gambling session.

The odds are fixed after the bet has been made, some systems of betting however do change according to the overall number of similar bets made so it can only be a hangover from that I think.  Either its that or its like a wish, you cant tell anyone or it will never come true.   That would be funny but also possible people just prefer not to say exactly how they are betting, I guess there is some logic to it along the lines of play your cards close like its a poker game

In gambling varies types of gamblers around us. Some gamblers try to hide their gambling and some of the gamblers prefer to reveal their bet money to others by presenting their betting performance. They try to focus they are big gamblers. They feel proud of themselves by doing this work but on the contrary, it makes the work look daunting. Gamblers may differ but no one can be held responsible for this. Because a gambler what he will do is right.

I went through a very sad and regrettable situation, last year I traveled to another city and in the other city I was living at my aunt's house, it happens that I was in a room with my cousin, well in the first week I was doing my analyzes and sports betting, so he constantly asked me what I was doing and I refused to tell him what I was doing, as he taught me a lot so I relented and told him, he started doing sports betting, at first he only placed 1 $, as it was a very low value I thought: it's not something for me to worry about. week passed and I continued doing my analyzes and bets as I always did

until I started to realize that he started to criticize me and encourage me that I should put a lot of money in bets, and I asked him why, then he replied telling me that he had put 50$ in a barcelona game and lost everything. I was shocked, honestly it was something quite obvious that barcelona would lose in that game and he always said that he only put in 1$, so those two pieces of news started to make me very worried mainly because he starts acting strange. until he started watching the games with very loud sound. man my concern only increased, so he suddenly shouts: I won; I ask you: what have you gained?

he tells me that he won a multibet bet that had 15 games, the guy was celebrating every night and the next day he went to drink beer and sleep away from home, days passed and he was betting with the hope of winning more and more, what you saw and he kept losing, until one day the guy shouted again saying he won, but this time he hit a multibet bet with more than 15 games and had put more money, and as expected the guy took the money and went to drink beer and just came back the next day. The fact is that he spent more than a month making that kind of bets and he didn't win anything and he started asking me for money to play and when I didn't give him he kept hating me, that all made me feel guilty. I was in front of a person who was addicted to alcohol and possibly started gambling addiction

I think the person is just making excuses especially when he is betting in a lottery.  His aim is to solo the winning amount if his ticket won the lottery.  it is really a huge difference in a lottery games when several person have the same number combination and won.  Like when there are 10 people who happen to have the same number combination and won the lottery, the prize then will be divided by 10 unlike when there is only one winner.  So I find it reasonable if someone who is buying ticket for lotter does not want to share his number combination because of the said reason

Sharing the predictions with your friends is your own opinion,Most of the people had this habit of sharing with their friends.Some prediction of yours will suitable to some people,but it also leads to loss for some friends.So the predictions is fit for the shorter period,So recreate the new prediction on every week.Because the program of the gambling is not the fix one.Every gambler should update himself to the new technology to find the winnings at all his prediction.So it's better to share your valuable prediction to other people.

Actually such belief system used in gambling is nothing but a nonsense belief. If the person they ran to for magical means for them to win the raffle draws really does has the power to influence the draws to their favour why didn't he uses same power to make himself rich too through the raffles or does it mean the witch is satisfied with the little amount paid to him by those who came to him seeking for their ticket to be the one to win the raffle.

I am sure if those magician  does really have that power they would buy a ticket and use their power  to influence the outcome in their own very favour to get the raffle prize. Like who doesn't want money?

So, this raffle thing with shamans and all, yeah, that's something interesting; no doubt about it. Using "magic" to influence a draw is just something, right? People seem to be striving to make reality meet their desires, even if it's not genuine. The point? Things are done because people believe them.

Maybe it's preferable to believe numbers and stuff. Probabilities and math exist. If you understand, you can count on it but not touch it. I suppose people can believe in witches and things for raffles, but statistics are more reliable. Raffles, numbers, witches, and other things mix together, but it's good.

This topic is very good, because on several occasions people may believe their predictions and what will happen , I think I have already told it, but I want to bring it to this thread because I think it is very interesting, where I live people look to do raffles, be it cars, other items of that style, so when the raffles are very famous things get good, because they choose 4-figure raffles, and that is quite difficult for you to win that raffle You have to be very lucky , however when they sell many tickets, I have witnessed the raffle owners talk and whisper among themselves to go to a person who smokes tobacco so that they can do a "job" for him so that the number does not fall among the people who bought the raffle, because if so they keep the prizes and continue to do more raffles with the same cars , motorcycles, etc.

I couldn't help but listen to this, because I found it very Funny the fact that People look for witches, shamans and that kind of help so that they interfere in a lottery, obviously when people here go to those places they faithfully believe in the person who gave them He takes large amounts of money for doing that, the most important thing is that after that, and the winning number comes out, one of the tickets that someone did buy does come out , so this type of belief is based on the faith that the person places in it, but it is not something infallible that is going to happen as such. I really do not know whether to classify that belief as nonsense or something like that , it is Preferable that you start doing probabilities and statistics that is much more credible and closer to Reality.

Wait what? Do people believe in this kind of thing? I have never had any issues sharing my predictions. But nowadays, I like to keep things to myself. If people take that prediction and bet on it, they might lose. Then who is to blame? Obviously, they will blame me. So for that reason, I don't like to share it anymore.
But I didn't know that people would not share for this kind of reason. This is quite new to me. But I like to do it on my own. I don't ask others for help or share mine to help others. It's just that I don't want to be anyone's bad side. Or blame someone for my losses. Doing it on my own, I can blame myself and focus on improving my skills, rather than depending on someone else entirely.

@len10 from what you said it makes much sense and easy to deal with your reasons why you don't subscribe to the idea of sharing your predictions which are for the sake of your security and to avoid certain disturbances too. Moreso I thought am the only one that frowns at that behavior of people coming around you to request for a small part of the amount won and this is normally experience in a traditional casino setting.

But just as @ethereumhunter has also expressed, I still think there's nothing wrong sharing your predictions to friends or fellow gamblers as they are just like every other normal bet predictions is either we all  win or lose.

I have noticed that this kind of superstitions are more common in communities which are more inclined towards religion and folk culture than in big cities or metropolis.
For example, in my city I have never heard of anyone talk about strange gambling believes, however, in small towns I have listened to people mention how they can predict lucky numbers by remembering their dreams or can predict outcomes depending on the numbers the dream of or the animals they see in their dreams.

It all sounds wacky enough, but there was people in my family who took it seriously, enough to wake up in the morning and write down whatever number they saw.

Everyone has their superstitious that they follow.  That one isn't really that wierd.  After giving your picks to someone else and losing and then next time not and winning will start to make people lean towards not sharing lol.  There are far more rediculous ones out there I'm sure.

That's a strange belief other gamblers are proud to show to the public their bets like Drake, I know many gamblers who are too showy and boastful about their bets, these people are confident and good at what they do but some gamblers are too superstitious many of them come from a country where they practice superstitions on every they do, they remember everything that brought them big winnings like the dress they wore, the time they bet and much other superstitious belief, but there's no harm in applying their belief it's their money anyway and they are happy doing that, so its mind your own business when it comes to betting.

Sometimes when I share my predictions with friends, I always say that these predictions are just predictions. No one knows whether this prediction can win or lose and so far, they have known about it and can accept it. It's true that the results don't win often so they feel that it's just a prediction and if they don't want to follow it and just want to know my prediction, that's fine too and I'll still give it to them. But many of my friends have managed to win from the results of their predictions but I don't know how they predicted like that.

I don't have a problem sharing my bets as well, the bets has already been placed and there's no influence on the games if I showed it to thousands of people or not, superstition only works if you believe in it but I don't believe any superstition because I'm not a spiritual person.

Gambler's are believers of superstitions because they need luck to win their bets and when they believe in something it's easier for them to believe that they'll be lucky playing that particular bet but this has nothing to do with their winning, superstition are just for confidence.

I don't believe in superstitious but still there's some pattern I established for myself that I used before playing any game and sometimes it works for me while others times it doesn't work so I don't depend on that patterns to play my bet but I still use them to boost my confidence.
