people do get the wrong idea or misconception when it comes to definition.

Feng shui's meaning can be broken down into the Chinese words "feng," meaning wind, and "shui," meaning water. The concept is derived from an ancient poem that talks about human life being connected to and flowing with the environment around it.

So basically means this is attached on arrangement on things and not some doing sort of action for you to be lucky.
In regarding the question if this one is connected or could connect then i dont see for it to be that relevant imho.

I have seen many things, beliefs and everything regarding gambling, but feng shui? I know that some peronsa who own hotels, of paosadas are governed a lot by Feng Shui, but this is because they give harmony to their type of decocrazón, I have even seen people who seek balance with Feng Shui in their home, but With gambling I still do not see an apparent logic, I think that if we focus on the beliefs it can give results to some people doing it, but seeing it from the most logical sense it could not be had, except that a decoration style is put on the Feng Shui based casino.


I agree with you, feng shiu is also considered to decorate and create harmony in closed spaces, especially in interior designers, a few years ago I was a good friend of a man who owned a very famous inn that is close to my house, and he He told me that an idea had come from a place he saw in New York that was based on decoration following Feng Shui, because there he saw precisely the harmony and wanted to implement it in his opsada, some time later he did it and if it was worth seeing , because it did make a difference and obviously attracted many clients, although I may have been amazed because I have always liked everything related to the hotel industry, especially those hotels that have casinos ready to play.

In my understanding, Feng Shui is a way of organizing private or public space. 

In addition, the concept of Feng Shui is based on the concept of "Qi" energy.  The existence of the energy "Qi" is believed by supporters of the teachings of Taoism.  This energy is invisible.  Its existence is not confirmed by science. 

At the same time, harmony in the organization of personal space is very important.  This statement does not contradict even the Western mentality. 

If there is a mess around, it is difficult to think calmly and logically.  It's hard not to be stressed.

I think the real understanding is not as simple as you think. Fengshui is a belief system from ancient Chinese heritage, and it is not a means of psychological gratification. however, the cultural practices applied are passed down from generation to generation.

Fengshui itself does not mean that one will get success after practicing it especially in this case gambling, of course as you said, if fengshui has practical uses, then it will be applied everywhere. it will never work.

I think the meaning of fengshui has strayed far from the original source. As far as I'm concerned, fengshui is the practice of harmonizing energy to achieve harmony and I'm not sure if fengsui can be linked to one's luck when gambling.

Maybe we don't find it in big companies in developed countries because only a small percentage of those companies still use traditional methods and look outdated. But we have to know that they have great respect for that culture and still use it because they believe in all of it or our lives there are calculations that we cannot make sense of. And there may still be gamblers who use Fengshui to help them get what they want.

If feng shui had any practical utility, then it would be applied everywhere. But mostly it is used as a means of psychological complacency. If a person believes that some actions will bring him good luck/are simply right, then he receives a charge of positive emotions, regardless of whether he is right in his belief or not. Thus, feng shui only works if the person himself is sure that it works. In a way, this is the paradox of self-fulfilling expectations.

I guess if we look at it that way, ordering things around us to bring harmony and positive spirits then it could be good. However, if we inserted gambling to it and then totally rely on how those superstitious belief then it might not be good in the end. For casino though, they will have to adapt and evolve and maybe this is just one thing that they have incorporated in recent years to have sort of 'goodluck'.

Many chinese have strong belief that they follow Feng Shui like they adore it.
And there is nothing which can change their belief. But is it ok to make your believes unless they are benefiting them.I read and do my research on all those believe and see what is more beneficial

That is one way to put it, casinos are pure business and they will money if they win over the gamblers and the house edge is in their advantage. So even if there's 20-30 successful gamblers in that specific day, that won't be a loss to the casino because there are more gamblers who are losing than winning.

Feng Shui can be find everywhere and it's more common if you're living in Asian countries or other foreign countries that have a Chinatown. I'm not that sure that is proven but believing on these things is not harmful either.

Feng Shui is very popular as many companies follow it as a way to generate a more warm environment for their employees, however it is just a form of superstition and nothing more.

As I have never seen any study that shows that after an office space was ordered according to the guidelines of Feng Shui the productivity went up or the conflicts among the employees went down, to me this is just a way to cater to Chinese customers while at the same time the rest of the customers remain largely unaffected by those changes, so it is something with no downside for the casino.

Respect people's beliefs? What does that even mean? When I feel like something is stupid and is detached from reality I say it. If someone tells me to walk around the casino a few times to gather good energy before going in and then touch a rock and not to press 13 on the elevator I'll tell him what I think about his superstitions. When someone does stupid things like rapes a child because in his religion it's OK to have sex with an 8 year old, will you say nothing out of respect?
My respect for people ends the moment they start being irrational.

as I have said, that fengshui will not only be effective for those who believe but will also be effective for those who do not believe in it. if you are in a gambling building that uses fengshui, you will definitely feel comfortable and the air flow there will make you feel at home for a long time, without you realizing you have entered into the effectiveness of fengshui even though you don't believe it.

That's okay if you prefer superstition because people will choose what he likes. But we agree that this is a culture from China that has developed rapidly and even in some countries, Fengshui is still used because they still trust it to get information. Maybe ordinary people who do not know about things like this will never know what and how and it is up to them to respond.

It's not scientific but it includes things that are complicated to explain, especially for people who don't understand superstition, Fengshui, and others. Maybe it's superstition but there are still people who will believe it and use it. I only know that Fengshui is about the position of how we should arrange the layout or position that can give positive energy to be in harmony and can also give positive energy to our lives.

This is something that is interesting because regardless of belief or it is not clear when in gambling still we do as we want not other people. Quite agree with what you say, maybe in terms of respect for others who believe maybe we won't bother with it but that doesn't mean we should also follow it especially if something like this might go against your belief in gambling.

We can always be strategic when it comes to gambling and we could also rely on our personal beliefs but we can't expect others to have the same strategy or belief as we do. Fengshui I think won't work especially for those who don't believe in it. It's just a good thing that we have the freedom to rely on our beliefs, culture, and faith in gambling.

That is the objective idea of the players who have the winning mentality, the math, the losers always justify themselves with the phrase at the end of the quote.

Just have fun, bet! sometimes you have to ask yourself; am i really a gambler, have i really tried.

This very question sounds like an insult to me. How could you assume me being so stupid?! 

But if seriously, no, I respect other people's beliefs. Believe what you want, just don't kill me for not being a big fan of your way of thinking. So, if gambling following some Feng Shui rules makes you happier, I'm totally OK with that. Only, Feng Shui or not, don't bet more than you can afford to lose. Just in case.

Those things are just for superstitious person but for people who don't believe anything but luck or on their skilled for sure they will just ignore the thoughts that they will be more lucky if they apply what Feng sui stated to them or guide them to do.

But we can't argue with those people who believe on it because if this one could make them feel relax and motivated then that's it as long as they are happy what they are doing then everything is good.

Yeah, for good luck and for the house edge. Well, it's a place where people gather that's why it should look as better as it could be and that includes those who believe in traditional things like Fengshui. If their players will think it's for their good luck, then good. If not, then they could just find another place where Fengshui is not applied.
I don't believe wholly in the perspective but as my friend told me, you lose nothing when you do.

Many successful people have never resorted to Feng Shui but still managed to make a huge fortune so it can not be a fact that Feng Shui helps to find good luck in business and in gambling. In my opinion, the main factor in achieving a goal is persistence, self-belief and hard work. If in business you can negotiate with competitors and partners and change something, then in gambling you can only hope for luck.
