Do you feel cool sharing your predictions with other people and how has the outcome been looking at all the times you have shared your predictions with others?

I often share sports betting predictions with my friends who want to place bets and I also often receive betting predictions from my friends. there is a pull.

Bottom line: I have never and do not want to change the slip that I have placed, I want to receive predictions from my friends for other bets, for example: initially I installed clubs A and B, if my friend says a prediction for the same club, of course I don't want to change or reset my bet slip, I will say give another prediction besides the club that I installed, I stand my ground, in case it's an unlucky bet.

thus predictions can be right and wrong, what's the difference between friends and me, for example my friend's prediction is lucky and my prediction that day is unlucky, but that's not a regret for me.
Conclusion: predictions received and divided, but different bets, not for the initial bet slip. as you can see, it is strange, inconsistent, indecisive and doubtful.

Doubtful - but I respect their beliefs because who knows exactly if that attracts luck and wins the jackpot prize. In fact, some gamblers ware their lucky charm when gambling, it means that they believe in something that gives them luck because we never know that was the thing also he did before and then win.

It is for you to believe it or not but in gambling, in a situation where we rely on pure luck - everything we did never assure winnings nor it increases our chance. Well, anyways, at least we do something.

There's this scene I witnessed today at a local sport betting house and I found it very funny and unbelievably true at same time. A certain young man after making his predictions placed his bet and his betting slip was printed to him then another gambler in the house approached him and asked to make a rebet of his games for himself but I was shocked when the young man refused with the excuse that he doesn't share his predictions that sharing it will make him lose his bet. More like having his luck to win reduce or changed maybe because the person he shared his games with could be someone with a bad luck on that day.

A variety of strategies work among gamblers. Many gamblers also start believing in superstitions to win at gambling. Since no one gives any guarantee in gambling. Everyone bets their hard-earned money so i will not disrespect any gambler's belief because if he can win in gambling through that belief it is up to him rather I want to respect every gambler's belief. But what I believe in is luck. If luck favors me I will win, otherwise I will lose. I do not support the notion that exposure to any other gambler will result in losing my bets.

Every gambler has their own belief at times. Others may find it strange, but it is not for them. What that guy did is comparable to what I've heard about psychology: don't tell people about your plan since the more you tell others about it, the less likely it is to happen. That individual might be thinking that if anyone sees his bet, it would put a jinx on him. That sort of thing. Gamblers are also superstitious because gambling is always, if not most of the time, based on luck.

Although I have heard of behaviors like this with some gamblers but I never believe it not until I witnessed it myself today and it was weird to me imagining how you will get to lose your bet by allowing someone else rebet it. In all my years of gambling I believe that a game prediction that will play as predicted will definitely play not regarding the number of people that bet on same prediction.

So why this belief or do you think it could be true? Or is it one of those superstitious belief among gamblers?

Why this belief is because a lot of them gamblers are superstitious. And I actually don't think it's because they are gamblers, but rather because most people are superstitious. It's just when they gamble it becomes more obvious.

Could it be true? Well, I think you know the answer. Some cultures believe that photographs steal part of the soul? The logic behind not sharing your bets is pretty much the same, I think.

because you already have the right understanding regarding gambling it won't be a problem. because betting will definitely have the possibility of winning and the possibility of losing.
maybe there are some gamblers who are still superstitious, it doesn't matter because they are actually also betting for a chance. it is not certain that these superstitions will actually give them victory. a fortune maybe while trusting something that was accidentally given to him for a bet and then wins.
I personally don't believe in superstitions.

There are still many superstitious gamblers, especially gamblers who often gamble in offline or small local casinos. They often use mystical things in the hope that they can get something useful for them to win from gambling. So I'm not surprised if, in the future, there are still gamblers who don't want to show the results of their predictions to other people because they still believe in these things. Indeed, there is no guarantee that mystical things can give victory in gambling, but it will come back to each person.

I won’t stop anyone from following my predictions, but I will caution the person first. Follow my prediction at your own risk, incase if my prediction is wrong, you don’t have to blame me for that, incase if the person is still interested then I will show the person so that he can place similar bet.

This really has to be done because some people actually blame us when they follow what we are betting on.
But there are also those who can really think well where when they follow other people's bets and lose, they can still accept it gracefully without getting angry or blaming other people for making these betting choices.

There are many cases where gamblers who follow other people's bets actually blame the person because the bet they made lost, even worse, until a dispute or fight occurs over the matter.

Here in my country and many parts of the continent, there is a belief that one should never use money earned through lotteries or betting to buy shoes.

Because, according to the superstition if one spends it one's luck would fall onto the ground, to the level of one's feet.

I have a cousin who alledgely could never win again at sport betting, because in one occasion he got lucky, decided to spend on shoes for another person.

Wow...am sorry Hispo but this sound very funny to me,c'mon I think that it is a superstition belief in your place that has made that happened. So your cousin never won any bet because he used the money that he won from gambling to buy shoes for some one. This means that the person wearing the shoe has trampled on his luck. Superstition beliefs varies from place to place and country to country. If I was your cousin,I wouldn't believe this because our beliefs are what works for us because it is connected to our actions.

As we know that Gambling is a game of luck, so yes many people find different ways to believe in luck. These superstitions are also seen in players. Some play using hand bands, headbands, some use scarfs in their heads etc. They do these as they believe doing so will be beneficial for their games. So yes the young player did whatever was his way of believing in luck. I cannot say whether these always works, but yes one should always follow the methods through which he gets these winning bets.

goes to show that each of us have weird beliefs not only in gambling but to other aspect of our lives. what we can do here is that respect each other's beliefs, be tactful if someone will ask you to do something but against your beliefs. for sure, each individual has their own take when it comes to gambling. some have no basis at all but they will firmly believe on it. you can't do anything much about this, but we all just need respect when we talk about this kind of gambling approach.

That’s really funny, why Will sharing of prediction make him lose? If you are going to lose then you will lose, no matter how you hide your prediction if you are wrong you are still going to lose, he is just giving a rubbish excuse, maybe he those not want to share his prediction with the person, but that those not mean if he shares it he is going to lose. That’s really a very bad assumption, if you place your bet online and nobody sees it, if your prediction is still wrong you are going to lose without anyone see your prediction.

I haven’t even heard about it before, this is my first time and am sure it’s really wrong, no matter the amount of people that used your ticket to replace their bet, if you are luck and your prediction is right, then everyone is going to win, and if your prediction is wrong, then everyone that follows you is going to lose, that belief is a false belief.

The gambler has staked already, so there is nothing that can change that, it is just a superstition if true that is the reason.

But we can think another reasons too. If I am the person that someone asked to stake the bet that I have staked, I will not answer the person if the person is a stranger or we do no know each other very well like a friend. I can let a my brother, family or a friend stake what that I staked, but not just anybody.

Generally, predictions are personal in nature where you are the ones who had created them. Most of the predictions made by gamblers are carefully planned and thought about by considering several factors that can affect the outcome of the game. While some may find it weird, I think the gambler is completely in the right in refusing to share his detailed information by re-betting his current one.

I agree- again, bets are personal in nature and they should only be casted by the gambler himself. But if the person asking for the re-betting is someone close to me, then I would consider re-betting in by considering the circumstances of the situation.

This seems highly odd and I don't understand how it could be true. Why would one random customer walk up to another random customer to steal their betting ideas? Everyone in that setting is trying to beat the system and think they are capable of outsmarting the bookmaker odds, so to copy another player makes little sense. Was there some sort of knowledge that this person was good at picking winners? You might as well pick a bunch of random odds and you'd probably achieve the same outcome. Copying someone elses bets is just symbolic that you have no ability to pick winners by yourself and should be nowhere near a place where you can gamble your money away.

Although, this kind of thing do happen if the first gambler sometimes predict rightly and he has been known in that area that he has good knowledge or luck of his games. Apart from this, I don't see any reason why someone will want to copy the prediction of another gambler. This means that the game copier doesn't understand what why he is gambling.

Well, the truth is that some people still copy bets from random people, as well as some gamblers still share their bet slip with random supposed gamblers as well, all this happens in the betting hall or betting shop, whatever its called or referred to in your locality.
First thing is that, sharing bet slip with unknown people is not a bad thing but to be honest, its not advisable, I mean, i see nothing wrong with doing it, but somehow, I just feel its not right, and also, copying bets from random people is also not advisable because you as person do not know how good such person is or have been with winning their bets, so its always bet we get good knowledge of sports so we can place our own bets, all only copy bets from close friends or relatives.

Yea, some gamblers don't like such thing by revealing their bets to people. I am cool with allowing someone to copy my prediction and bet the same with me because who knows if I win,then he can also win and he will see me like one pro. The outcome of the game remains the same when you show someone your slip or not

What I think is that there are people who are very jealous with everything that has to do with betting, some are selfish, because if they win then they are Saying that thanks to them they won, others like to win only them and the others lose In the world there are people who have that type of thought and are happy being that way , I don't understand it but they are like that, but if I make a bet, it happens to me just like you, if they Copy it , it's not bad, it just makes me It would be a shame if you Don't win because it would make you lose money, but if you win it would be the best Because we Would win thanks to my criteria and I like that Everyone wins.

This is just dumb, I don;t get why he wouldn't share it, but I've seen such behavior at least once, where people would fight over a slot machine, because someone was playing there, went to the bathroom and left something like a hat on the seat and someone else came by and moved the hat thinking someone had simply forgotten it. The other guy came back and thought the hat meant the machine was taken...

Anyways, people should be a little more friendly towards each other, especially when it doesn't matter who sits where, who bets on the same team as you, and all that. People turn into beasts when money is at stake.

This behavior is a product of superstitious belief. Most people feel that someone can make them miss their luck. They believe that people can transfer bad luck to others. They think that showing a ticket to an unlucky person can change the fortune of a game destined to win. So it is better to protect the game from everyone to avoid contact with an unlucky person.

Another aspect is that humans are naturally self-centered. Some people that just don't want to assist people always hide their game. They feel that after they have spent time forecasting and analyzing games someone will just come and copy from it freely. They feel that they are been cheated. While others just want to win alone so they always keep their prediction secret.

I can even post my gambling ticket on social media for the world to see. The number of people that replicate the bets will not affect the outcome. I even derive joy from making people win bets. I will gladly give anybody my bets to copy from because it does not harm me.

I can't remember the statistic of the outcome of predictions people copied from me. But many people have lost and won using my prediction.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

Quote from: Dr.Bitcoin_Strange on July 29, 2023, 05:43:56 PM

That is nonsense, mate. Some people are just so deliberately wicked and greedy that they don't want you to have their luck. I mean, they would not want a situation where if they win the game, you will also win it because of their help. Sometimes, too, some people are just so uneducated (like illiterates) that they end up living with some kind of superstitious belief. So, in either case, the man is probably affected by one thing, either illiteracy or greed. I have not heard of anything close to this; even in my area, you will see gamblers share gambling codes among themselves that another gambler has already predicted and staked.

I'd say this was superstition, not greed. He thought that showing his bet to another gambler will somehow jinx it, because the other guy betting on the same thing would not make him win less. I mean odds can be influenced by the amount of people betting on the same thing, but one or 2 people don't change anything. These statistics are measured in hundreds of bets, unless this was something small, like horse racing at a local track where every additional person winning can further split the prize, but I doubt they were betting on something like that.
