sometimes when we are playing gambling, our feeling become strong and its triggered us to become sensitive and believe with superstition too and we are doing strange movement in the games. sometimes we can predict the games with right. i have good experience in several times, but unfortunately, i am not following and in the end, i only lose and regret about that and said to myself, why i am not following that sign.
That's normal but at the end of the day we have to fully understand that gambling is a game of chances and if you have the skills you will have the best chances to win. Anyway we keep saying that but it cannot deny that once we are in the actual gambling we sometimes change into something that we never plan of, instead of focusing on our strategy we sometimes follow our emotion and just rely on luck.

I am not really a fan of superstition but it is always safer to follow these rules when you talk about gambling. One of the example is eating sushi before you gamble because the sound of sushi sound similar to lose to ''death''.

Lol, I bet it sounds like that but fortunately I'm not caught in the entanglement of superstition when it comes to gambling because I look to the realistic side of things and don't base my games on my feelings, sensory perceptions, dreams and what have you. I just can't look for flimsy reasons to justify my bets ; that's not me.
Well everyone have different gambling style and taste.
And superstition frequently used to make your game more excited and fun to play , that's what i am feeling.
It is just normal even if you or other people who completely don't believe and did not do it .

Yeah and most of the gamblers have certain superstitions in their minds as I believe that whenever I gamble on Thursday I win and that has happened with me most of the times so generally I prefer to gamble only on Thursdays and rest of the days I don't visit any gambling sites.
If you do believe on such thing then it should be fine as long you didnt do anything wrong against any people. We do really have different beliefs and sometimes we just normally created that when we saw that we are winning on that kind of way. We would definitely use it all over again and again since our mind telling us that we are lucky on that time.

Seriously doing all this you will become superstitious. A superstitious person is who believes in weird stuff according to his religion and a religious person doesn't gamble so if yoi think do all this will help you any way forget it there are many better ways of earning money don't waste it on gambling

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.
A scapegoat? Regardless of the definition, that is the truth, most people struggle to admit their mistakes, that is why when confronted with evidence of their bad actions most people come with excuses instead of accepting the fact they have done wrong to others or to themselves.

You are not fan but you did mention one example  Grin and I'm not familiar on that sushi thing but well we do have our own knowledge on some things. Even myself don't really consider these stuffs no matter how other people do told me about these things. Following them isn't bad at all but just a senseless thing since we wont know on when we would be lucky on playing gambling.No one could able to figure it out.

LOL. Never heard of that superstitions as well. Only thing I heard both "sushi" and "death" game to play is when I watching some cartoons in TV with my son.  Grin. I'm not a believer of it either, but when others do win and said its all because of certain things they done before playing totally don't know the word "Luck". Maybe is luck that made them win, not on those superstitious believed they have.

Well, I have some superstitious beliefs when gambling. It might be a little weird but I put a coin on my shoes before I start
gambling, I also pick my chair before starting. And whenever I win I usually hide some of my winnings, I don't like people
seeing my money on the table.
I get it how much you believe in the coin part where you put it in your shoes but what I don't get is the chair. I think that's is a necessary. Do you choose in where you feel that you're lucky and like where it's nearest to the door or something? Because I think I have noticed people doing something similar to that and I agree with you that your winnings should be somewhat covered.
You probably taking about gambling in a physical casino, well I don't experience that because I do most of my activities online.
Before I like to play card games in our home town together with my friends and when I keep winning I usually keep my winnings in my pocket because I believe if you keep it inside it will not be taken again. Honestly, it does not work all the time but still we cannot eliminate that kind of thinking being a gambler.
Gambling online is very comfortable for someone like me because I don't really go out that much. Knowing that I could really do something like calculations in order to improve my chances of winning in the online casino or what not. It's fun to play physically if you are playing with friends or family because it would be enjoyable knowing that you are able to not worry about your playmates or something.

A game will definitely need a place to want to indeed, and if you don't have those thoughts would be much better that you do not use the gambling. The reason could be that what you do in gambling will make you a poor man, for your gambling based on the uncertain appetite. Be consistent and someone who can play right, self control and also the analysis is most important for you to do.

I do not even understand what kind of superstition can be when a gambler plays. The fact is that there are many questions as to what game nobody plays. Just have luck or not. There is a strategy or not. Everything else just does not matter.

Just like wearing of colored t-shirts, on what day to gamble. There's a lot of superstitions that are being believed by some gamblers. It's like don't gamble for this day, when you tried to read your horoscope and says that you won't be lucky for the whole day or week. We can't blame those people if they are believing with those types of superstitions.
Gamblers are very superstitious,  they will believe anything they want to believe just so that they can win and mostly it works out for them.used to be superstitious at one point but am not any longer.

Don't be in general because not all gamblers are very superstitious. There are some that believes it's their lucky day and they will gamble all they've got and there are some who are good to gamble even there is not luck in them. But remember that not all of us are believing into such superstitions because it's still depending on the gambler.
I agree. Some people are just their luck. Though others are desperate in winning so they have their drive through the use of lucky charms or any other ways to make them win. Just like the case of my relative, she always see a wizard to give her fortune on a daily basis. It's her choice to believe and that makes her happy. But then there were times also that she lose but she didn't regret and she never stops. Her life as a gambler continues not to mention, she aims to be rich. Personally, I believe that superstitions have nothing to do in gambling but it just a way to condition somebody's mind.

I have seen a person that has gamble with some pearls and jewelries. And since I am curious he told me that he bought it from a charmer and said that it can make him luckier when he gamble. Well superstitions are also business that's why we can't blame those gamblers that are gullible and are easily believed by those charmers.

In other matter normally people not believe in this Superstition. But in gambling people trust this Superstition more than their skill set. I will not trust this Superstition but sometimes the time and game result will make me trust the gambling will run based on Superstition.

Hiding money is basically that out of total winning you are ensuring some goes in pocket and rest you play with which is absolutely fine. But hiding coin before playing in shoes is very weird. How did it started and what difference did you notice by putting coin in shoes and playing without doing this? Will be good if you can break this habit and move forward.

lol it is not something new , superstition indeed usually are about something weird and connect it to your game no matter what and people just believe on it because of fun or even because they really believe it , it was really not makes any sense.

but that is what people doing however , they don't care about the facts.
