Absolutely. In a free world we can do whatever we want for our entertainment as long as it doesn't hurt others. But the thing is that when you, relying on your beliefs, put all your family's money at risk, there's a good probability of someone being hurt. Someone close to you, someone you love. Don't do that.
In addition to this matter, All gamblers who enter a gambling do not want to lose, but most of them want to win big and get the real luck and not the bad luck of playing as a gambler. So this is one of the reasons that other gamblers believe that they hold the Feng-shui of the Chinese people because they have nothing to lose if they hold this kind of superstition and apply it to their gambling habit.
do have this kind of belief or something that it is already part of their culture which it is really that normal that they would really be having that kind of actions but i do agree on some
people which had clarified about fenshui which it isnt a behavior but rather placement of things to get or attract positive energy or vibe which if we do really think generally and
apply it on gambling activity then i dont really believe much about relevance but hey its their belief so lets just respect it.
