I find superstition kind of uplifting, i don't really believe in them but in a way some rituals are fun to do and to follow especially if you get lucky afterwards. One of my traditions when playing poker is to always play a Queen and a deus till the end even tho i might have a weak hand and i'm 100% losing, till this day i never lost a Q,2 Hand.
That's fun to know that you are also superstitious, sometimes I blamed myself for doing such things as I may call it stupid but sometimes it also give me a win, in the end I realize that whatever our actions in gambling as long as we are having fun on doing it, we should not count our loses anymore. Winning is really hard for me that's why I always bear in mind to limit my bet since I don't have the skills to bring me long term success and all I can benefit in gambling is just to be entertain.
When you're losing your hope, you need something to spend your trust in and it's should be a superstition.
Not really. I tend to think that only week people need to explain random events somehow. The same people like to blame their mistakes on other people or their lack of luck.
I'm not a superstitious person although I've been tempted by it when I really wanted to achieve something. I was so afraid to spoil it that I'd do any voodoo magic to reach my goal.
In the most popular casino movies, we can often see the women standing behind the gambler because of the superstition that gambler believes will make his luck prevail. In the real games that the gamblers are playing, there are many things they are doing repetitive hoping that they will win because of their strange habit. I alone had some strange habit. I even don't remember what I was doing but I can say that this unusual habit was just satisfactorily for my mind and not for my final win or loss. Superstition is the popular habit among the gamblers and it is interesting to see someone doing something that he is believing is bringing him the desired luck.
I didn't know a woman standing behind the gambler was considered as good luck. Really? I guess that I learned something new today. I would have just guessed they did that in movies as a form of sexual intensification for the viewer... because it looks better than an old fat man.
I think if you looks back to your habit it is obvious that this superstition didn't result in you winning more or less. IT was just something you made up in your mind and thought it helped you but really it didn't.

superstitious belief might sometimes work but sometimes not, but luckily i have already applied the superstitious act like no haircut for 2 months, thick mustache and didn't take a bath on Tuesdays and Fridays before going to casino to gamble and i win a lot on slot machine games but maybe it is just a coincidence.
I am sure it's just a coincidence, you have to winning moment but in the long run you will still lose because you are playing slot machine which does not give you an edge. If we will be superstitious sometimes, we also have to make a proper analysis and choosing the game that has no edge is the best thing to do so we can increase our chance to win in gambling.

Some of us really believe to this because this is somewhat our anti-badluck or our lucky charm that's why we always follow what is not good in gambling and what is bad. Though gambling is not really a good source of income if you are thinking that way because it doesn't really give you a permanent winnings and it will lead you to become an addicted to it which is not a good idea and hard to control in long time.
Superstition just make things more fun , really i did not consider it seriously.Just a part of entertainment , you do gamble that usually the game itself annoying but with superstition it become funnier.
I do believe a lot of people do superstitious move no matter intentionally or accidentally.
If I see a MILF in an NCAA hoody, I'm playing that team that day. I'm like 20-5... LOL!
LOL. Superstition is actually bullshit .

I personally do not believe in superstition in gambling and life in general.
I think people created this superstitions so that when they lose they have something to blame.
Also if you believe in superstition and you won't able to do it immediately you will think that you will be unlucky and gambling on that state of mind will eventually make you lose.

If you see the history of gamblers, mostly gamblers are superstitions. My few friends are gamblers and they are superstitions also, all the time they start their bets with superstitions like use winning shirt or depend on color and same number use where their have won and some time i also impressed with them, becasue they have very strong superstitions.

They will go home to their family/wife/husband or whatever and not feel guilty because it is their "lucky underwear's fault". 
just exactly what i said before, only that a little bit distortioned.
They try to use the stuff that they were using before and they think that they will give them luck by next time.
But when are they going to release that luck doesnt exist and will never exist? It is all about skills and the destiny.
It is funny to see how all those gamblers are always going to lose everything because of a funny night
They could do something more profitable instead of spending all their money on a single night
I just wanna know if you guys are supertitious when playing or gambling?
Everybody do it, not only you, everytime that someone has a big luck with just wearing a t shirt or a pair of shoes are always going to use it as a "lucky stuff" to keep earning more money on the next session.
There is nothing new with this, a lot of people are exactly doing the same.
The same happens with the football players, everytime that there is an important match, they try to use the same sockets that they used on their lucky day, or their "lucky" shoes too.
This is one of the biggest fallacies when it comes to gambling. I don't know the exact name but it surely causes Billions worth of losses on an annual basis around the world.
If you use your brain for a few moments you will clearly see that a physical item like a shirt doesn't impact whether you can win or lose at gambling. This is simply ridiculous, but people use it to rationalize their actions.

Sometimes I do believe in superstition and gambling. As they say nothing will lost in you if you do. Its sometimes true. Oftentimes it somehow give you some kind of luck. I also believe in finding some signs etc. Its just like a thought or somehow a positive vibes to boost your confidence and courage.
In my case I just get my amulet of luck haha.. I'll put it in my pocket hoping to get more luck to win a game, even though it looks weird I still used it. Even in exams, lottery, I even put it as a decoration in the car to avoid accidents lol.
no harm of course if someone do a lot of superstitious things , it is our rights to believe on it or not.
Believing in superstition while gambling is like tickling yourself and laughing because it's nothing than a mere coincidence, i don't know why addicts try anything to want to explain their losses or win and superstition is one of the things they used to use in the past to tell us about how they won or lost a bet instead of admitting he failed.
let's be realistic, everything in gambling are random. don't think about something that doesn't makes any sense.
