If you are not superstitious then you likely aren't gambling. In any bet you are probably going to lose your money. So why do that? Perhaps because you think the odds will be different for you? Maybe your prayers will be answered or your "lucky" rabbits foot will help? A cold mathematical look at gambling shows it to be a foolish act.

If you are looking at it from a rational point of view then it does not make sense, but many gamble just to get some fun, so instead of being seen as something where math needs to be applied then you need to view it as a form of entertainment and in that case gambling is not that different than to watch a movie in a cinema or parachuting.

Actually, mostly gambler are superstitions, may be he is one of them. But it is not bad or good, it is a habit. Because people think that now today they win because of he do something unique and different thing. Then on the other hand, some people think that today they win because of luck, Then clear both are superstitions, but the difference is that we believe on luck but other ones believe on different things.

You have a point. I also believed that most gamblers are very superstitious but some are not just admitting to it. But you will learn from them are they win big and attributes it to something besides luck. You will hear them telling stories about how they change their luck by like changing seat or just simply change their playing way. So whether we admit it or not, most of us are into superstitions without knowing it.

I also have my own superstition when it comes to gambling, I usually keep a lucky coin on my shoe before starting to gamble and also I make sure I wear my lucky socks.

So what's the final result? Does it make you win every time if you follow this superstition? I don't think that it would really help you in winning as it will depend only on luck as I don't have any superstition when I gamble as I believe in reality and reality is that if I am lucky I will win or else not.

I'm sure no one will win everytime even you are lucky enough, being superstitious will only give us an encouragement to gamble but it does really increase or improve our chances of winning. We will win sometimes but that's only because we are lucky and when we think its because of being superstitious we jus try to fool ourselves.

perfectly said mate, its really not because we are superstitious we gain that winnings but because we are just lucky for that day and we did win
so many beliefs but we cant control that as we knew different personality of every people around and some of them really believes from this such
practice.

You are right people do follow their beliefs and when they won they do actually believe that it really works but the truth is that they are just lucky enough to win those bets together with their habits or beliefs thats is why they do make use it on another gameplay believing that it would give them another win but sad to say it doesnt work anytime specially when luck isnt on your side.

One time success will not make people believe in Superstition. A couple of wins in the same time or place or strategies or other things will make people belive in Superstition. But the thing is when they follow those things they will win their bet I don't know how it works based on Superstition or their luck. Sometimes I also believe this Superstition when I am watching my fav sports game.

maybe its like they got a sign in one games and then they follow the sign and finally they win the bet. realize or not, some of us here is already follow the sign and i think superstition is like a good feeling that show us how we can win the game. but its back to that person, if he believe this, then he can follow and if not, then he will not follow the sign.

If you are into a gambling you may really wanna have a superstition because you tend to like the game and you thought this as a sign of luck considering you already have a skills. You just added this beliefs to secure that your luck is always on your side, sometimes this is other factor of the pro gamblers. Even if they lose they tend to change the pace it by analyzing it using their superstition beliefs and instinct.

that is what everyone wish to be, but in fact it is not so. in fact in gambling we mostly depend on our luck. and some time people become so much lucky that we become doubtful about him that he has some superstitions power, but there is no such reality.

Yes. Maybe the lucky guy who won big thought that he has superpowers that's why he won. But that is not the case because it really depend on our luck and not on superstitious thing. How can you change your chance with superstition? Nada. It can be change of influence the outcome of the game. So I really don't understand people still thinking that by wearing their favorite t-shirt will change the outcome of the game.

Superstition is there because it is easier for people to face a lie then the truth. It's cuddly and cushiony to accept a lie.
That's not what gambling is about. When you gamble you don't mess around. You go for it ! You either stop when you feel you have had enough pushing your luck or you left with nothing. Also another reason to keep a separate wallet for gambling. Be prepared to lose the money and face it. Superstition is just to distract us from the truth.

People will choose lies over the truth any day of the week, people are not really conscious of it, but that is the way it works, instead of thinking that the reason they lost at the casino is simply a matter of odds, they think it is because of a shirt, that way, they can think that if they change their shirt they can earn money the next time they go to the casino.

I don't think it lies but it's more of something like blaming onto something specially when you lost. I myself don't believed in superstition but sometimes when I lost or win, I look for something to blame or what factors brought me to win. And I will came to conclusion that maybe because of this or that, and I think this is already superstition. But when I came to my senses, it was just pure luck. Nothing else.

People just create something else to blame instead of taking the responsibility themselves. It is lies because you telling yourself lies to distract yourself from the truth. People don't like to admit they wrong so make excuses. It's not just with gambling anything In life people can do this. It's to protect yourself. I myself subconsciously believe likes over the truth because it seems easier. I am working on it though. It's I oortnat for to face up to who and what we are. Superstitious belief is not going to help you accept the truth.

Yes I agree. Some people don't really accepting their loses they just blame someone or something to divert their failings. In part of your life whereas sometimes you really do apply being superstitious because that's what our elderly told us when we were young but now it's really not applicable well maybe because of our moderm world and technologies.

When on our younger years when our elders do have this kind of beliefs we would definitely adopt it as we grows and we cant really avoid such thing since we do grow on this kind of superstitions that we would definitely use up when we are playing gambling. Results might really varry on luck but we would really think up that it would work when we do play together with our chants or habits then we would really strengthen up that belief.

It could be. When we see our elder family members gamble and include superstitious belief in it and win, we are going to emulate it when we grow older. I remember my grand father do some superstitious belief himself but I so young back then that I don't understand what he's doing. And later I found out that its lucky charm or something and he always brings it whether he is going to bet or gamble.

Well thats the thing gambling does. Makes players think irrational.

And one colder mathematical look at at a 1.1x payout gives you 90% chance to earn 10% of your initial br. :p

I do not think that gambling make people become irrational, I think what it happens is that people are irrational, people don’t take decisions making a list and then making a choice after carefully pondering their options, people take decisions based on hunches and gut feelings.

I really don't think that superstition beliefs have to do with your gambling I really think it doesn't affect your game.
Maybe you are just fooling yourself and thinking that what happened in the bet was all because of your superstitious beliefs.

Superstitious beliefs depends on what and how is their culture being cultivated, so if that person is deep connected with their culture, his or her superstitious beliefs are deep too.

I am saying that superstitions beliefs has no scientific explanations, which means it all depends on their belief in their culture and experience, maybe someone experienced something lucky when they done something before going to a casino or logging in a gambling site and have seen or believed that it is lucky.
