Topic: Do you believe visiting a seer or spiritual house could make you win a game? (Read 1170 times)

Fortune tellers are running a business, they charge money to create and tell stories so that people believe in them and their stories are often sweet and dreamy for those who listen to them, and this is so that people hearing them don't hesitate to pay money to them. I don't blame them though, it's us who are making them big and believing in whatever they are saying, if we don't do that, they will be out of business and people won't waste their money on such things.

But then again, people with extreme superstitious mindsets will never understand, they blindly believe in whatever such spiritualists or fortune tellers say and they think they can make millions and billions if they listen to them while in reality, nothing they say works unless it's coincidental.

It seems that we rarely find this in remote villages about gambling fortune tellers. As far as I know, fortune tellers like that are just fortune tellers about what will happens to us in the future and prediction disaster that will happen around us, I have never known about gambling fortune tellers and I've never tried it either, I never even thought about it before this thread appeared
I myself used to believe in a kind of superstition like this when I played the lottery, seeing what I went through that day, I took it as an opportunity and to place a lottery bet. I had never felt the win, even though I hoped it would bring me good luck, that why Nowadays I no longer really believe in superstitions.

I don't know whether the fortune teller is true or not, I think it's just a coincidenced because you have that determination so you try so that you can own a house. Everything happens after 5 years because you know about the prediction, you become more enthusiastic about earning money to build a house, but if you only rely on fortune tellers and hope that you can have your own house without effort I thinks it is impossible.

I believe there is the possiblity of visiting a spiritual house for some rituals that will help a person win his or her games, this is very possible and I also assume it works for some people, but let's also understand the fact that, this also has some dangerous repercussions, as I believe any grown up should understand that, no body visits, encounters with evil spirits and remain the same, there is always something they take from the person spiritually, as a sacrifice for that which they have done for the person.

It is always better to play gambling and depend totally on your luck to win, than trying to cut corners, there is absolutely no short cut to success, those who try to cut corners end up with a significantly reduced life span, this is why we see young boys and girls in their prime dieing untimely, because of the things they have done in the secret all in the name of trying to be successful in life, Satan doesn't give anything for free.

I agree with you about not believing in such things, but we know that some still believe in those superstitious things and use them to help them win their bets. We cannot force them to abandon it because it is a belief they have held for a long time. Yes, it is different from Feng Shui but we also can't do anything if they keep using it.

And for those who don't believe it, we should gamble as usual and not be influenced by anything they do. And if we don't like what they do, we can look for other places to gamble so we don't know what those people are doing.

       -   That's funny, spiritualist in gambler? I don't believe in that. At spiritualist this nothing to do with a gamblers. Those who sell lucky charms are no different from Feng sui. instead of wasting time on such things, just gamble for entertainment.

So if you are a gambler, just play and don't go near fortune tellers or others. They are just making the gambling industry look ridiculous, especially in cryptocurrency.

That is mystical thing, I believe that there are certain people who have advantages like that but not all of them because most of them are just saying things without any real proof and they are doing all this as way of fooling the public to gain personal gain.
They will give the amount of money that must be paid if someone else wants something from their services, some say they can predict lottery numbers or give mystical items that can bring good luck to the holder.
But this is ridiculous because this kind of ability or knowledge cannot actually be used carelessly or even used in certain things such as gambling, fortune teller or people who claim to be spiritual experts must have several rules that they can follow.
Not everything can really go well because there will definitely be failures and mystical things that are done by fortune tellers or spiritual experts, there will definitely be risks or consequences that must be taken by everyone who decides to use their services.

It just that people who have rational or objective mindset will definitely not believe in all this because they will only believe in something that can actually be seen in reality.
They will have correct perspective on what can be translated using human logic.

I have not tried to personally go to someone with such capability. But what I used to do before is to look for everyday newspaper with a horoscope feature. The lucky color and numbers are my reference to buy ticket for lottery. This sounds funny but yes it happened to me before, because I believe in superstition. However none of those gave me a fortune.

But there's a case (this is not about gambling) where I consulted a fortune teller online (according to reviews he is accurate) about something personal. All of he said happened after 5 years. I asked, if I will be given a male child and if we will going to have our own home (that time we're just living with my in-laws). And it did happened, I don't know if it is just coincidence. Anyway, there's nothing wrong if you're going to believe those superstition but in gambling keep in mind that it is a game of luck. So just enjoy the game and don't pressure yourself to win.

The only power that these so-called sangoma has, is the power to drain money from believers pockets.

I worked on contract in African countries and I have had interresting discussions with some of the locals. Most younger people do not believe that these people are legit, but in more rural areas, where there are less contact with technology and the Internet,  people believe the things they are told by the older generation. (Talking to their ancestral spirits and throwing bones to tell your future)

In the end, you believe what you want... and if it is working for you, then keep on doing it.   

It mostly depends on the person's belief, but for me, it's a no. Beliefs and superstitions to seek predictions or outcomes are common for some, but it's not for everyone. I personally rely on rationational decision making and responsible gambling practices. We should prioritize enjoyment over winning at all costs.

Yes, because in my opinion it's not necessary because visiting places like that won't necessarily convince us that we can achieve victory and you're just wasting your money just to pay the fortune teller for mystical things and you shouldn't believe it because the fortune teller doesn't fully understand it. knowledge about opportunities or strategies about gambling to make a profit. I am sure that even if you try it you will only regret it because you might risk all the money you have and hope to win big in gambling but it turns out the bet is a loss and the fortune teller certainly doesn't want to be blamed about his mistake.

It's true that gamblers will definitely do anything so they can win and they can also try things like this. My advice is that if you want to test things like this, you can visit the fortune teller and if you have been given the answer, you can bet your money. However, just use a little to test whether the prediction is correct, but if it is not correct, it is better not to do it again.

Here in Africa it is very common to see people going to spiritual houses to get luck and it is unbelievable that people with decent scientific knowledge believe that these spiritual houses perform miracles, they can bring luck that makes someone poor become very rich. The bizarre things that are done within these spiritual houses always shock me. The guys who perform the rituals often kill animals, spread animal blood everywhere, speak strange languages and copy gestures that snakes and monkeys have made, then they always say that for people to be very lucky they need to take away the spirit. bad and for the treatment to work they must pay a sum of money to the performer of the magical ritual

Most people would think that no one in their right mind would pay a wizard to have that wizard take away their evil spirits. But when people are greedy and in despair, they pay large amounts of money to get lucky, but the saddest part about this is that none of these people can prove that they are cured after the ritual, not even the witch can't show the evil spirit. for everyone to see and serve as proof. So we are faced with charlots who take advantage of people's naivety and take advantage of people's desperation. So why do governments in Africa continue to allow these types of things?

Maybe the answer to this question is because for African governments the more the population of their country continues to be stupid and naive the better, because that way they will continue to have their will. It is sad that in Africans we are tolerating and accepting that charlots continue to deceive people. Here in Africa there are thousands of churches where the pastors keep lying that they perform miracles, they keep lying that they can give people wealth and great luck. but many poor people who went to these churches did not become rich, but even so, governments in Africa keep turning a blind eye to these crimes. I hope people don't get fooled by these types of things, no one will have luck in the game because they went to those places. people shouldn't believe that

We should really be putting up into our mind that there's no such thing about those factors that would really be able to affect out in overall luckiness that you would be having on the time that you do play gambling on which there's no way that you could be able to make yourself determined whether you are doing something good or bad on your gambling sessions. It is really just that important
that you should really be taking up those kind of realistic approach towards gambling so that you wont really be ending up on having that kind of desperation because you do
believe on something it isnt even prove out to be real or something that do really works. This is why it would be that best that you should really at least
know on what you are doing.

People who are aware that their purported abilities are not genuine are unlikely to risk their money on predictions they know to be false. This group may see their "predictions" as mere entertainment or as part of a performance rather than something to be relied upon for gambling purposes. Those who genuinely believe in their supposed supernatural abilities may have ethical or moral reservations about using them for personal gain, including in gambling scenarios.

They may adhere to a code of conduct or a sense of responsibility that discourages them from exploiting their perceived gifts in such a manner. There may be poeple who genuinely believe in their abilities and yet still choose to engage in gambling activities, perhaps rationalizing it in different ways. They might convince themselves that their abilities are meant to be used for financial gain or that their predictions are genuinely reliable. The intersection of belief in supernatural abilities and gambling behavior is complex and can vary greatly from person to person.

We can divide those people in two categories, those which know that what they do is not real and those which believe it is, when it comes to the former they know very well what is going on and that they do not have any kind of supernatural ability, so they will not waste their money by betting based on their predictions, but those which believe that what they do is real and think of themselves as gifted with extraordinary abilities, may instead not try to do this as they may have some code of conduct that prevents them to use their supposed abilities in this way.

There are many people who don't believe but trying to go to that place to have their readings because of the instigation of their acquaintances. There are also a few who actually see spirits and can even talk to them, but it's up to us if we believe, because it's hard to explain when it comes to this kind of thing, there's always a scientific explanation. besides, that's also why many people don't believe because they always think that why those fortune tellers can predict what will happen to someone's life  but why they can't read their own fortunes, why until now, those people who used to go with them still rely on the predictions they gave. There is no certainty and no one can say, but it's better if we don't rely our own life on someones prediction or don't lead things that haven't happened yet.

And I don't believe that all seers and people who claim that they can see spirits and talk to the dead have the ability to know what events are ahead of time. If they actually have such abilities, then why didn't all these "talking to spirits" become rich by buying bitcoin for $100 or a lucky lottery ticket?

I admit that we don't know much, but such events are unlikely to happen.

Yes, having own experience is what gambling is partly all about. I think it would be stupid if a person uses his own money, to live, try or test experience of someone other. If go to philosophy, it will be paying for someone to gamble. Someone say bet on X (he has made that choice), you pay for it. For me this sounds illogical. When I gamble, I pay, I make my own choice. Otherwise, it is same as paying someone to go to watch a movie and then wait for him to tell you what it was about.

In general idea or believing to seers or people like that is illogical to me. They all only tell average, overall and common things, usually past and rarely future. People who go to them only need someone else approval of their choice, because they are afraid to make their own decision.

These soothsayers some times seem to make correct predictions and when they do it's usually ascribed to their powers and mystical prowess and then people get to believe them and I will not in any way try to judge or make a big deal out of it because it's something that has been proven with results in several occasions and so it's quiet convincing.

Personally I keep an open mind to all these things a.d like you rightly stated sometimes our level of intellectual capacity also play out with our we welcome such and it's very surprising that there are people who appear to have high intellect and all that who still see these as worth doing so I'm such cases you will just have to see it as their believe and they shouldn't be seen any less because of their beliefs as it's literally has nothing much to do with who they may be, sometimes if you are opportune to see the predictions they got from their soothsayer or other sources it's fine to place a bet on such and if they are lucky so will you be but it doesn't mean you share in their beliefs.

Very funny of you. Sometimes I do believe gambling is more spiritual than people think. But people would not believe. Do you know that in game called pool in my country, there is always regular matches they play every weekend on Saturday and Sundays. It is usually 1 to 49 matches. And each number from 1 to 49 signifies a particular match and people where able to study this match and usually predict draw and win. Though some result might be coincidence but some will prove to you statistically how they have been meeting and how they have been winning. And they end up winning. even  the game doesn't not guarantee always win win, but the possibility is always there.

Then for the spiritual case. Just as you said the bookmakers have long bought the Sears. Because if you seek for a spiritualis to give you a game, they will never give you except it will involve sacrifice. and it's usually human sacrifice. So it is pointless Killing a fellow human because of seeking for wining. And one thing about money is that any where there is money there is always spiritual force guiding it. Not only in gambling but applicable to all aspects of life. Meaning there is no shortcuts to Wealth.

I can relate to this. I have witnessed different times when a man of God will predict a football match and it will not play. The funny aspect of it is that they will boost on the altar of God that God revealed the outcome of the game to them. I fell victim to this because it was a man of God I respect so much and when he made the utterance, I quickly got my bet app, staked the game and even made a promise to myself that I would return 30% of the winning to the man of God.

This match was a Champions League final match between Real Madrid vs Liverpool. The man of God predicted that Liverpool would be crowned the champions but Real Madrid won lol. I lost big time and since then, I don`t believe that anyone can see the result of a match. You can make predictions and win but it will be misleading to say you got the inspiration from God or any force you believe in. No gambler should be deceived if it doesn't work.
