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.

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.

How it is possible that in your first sentence you say gambling and superstitions have no link and yet on the next sentence you state that when people gamble then they become superstitious, it does not make sense, evidence suggest that people when confronted with something outside of their control will try to use charms or anything that could help them in this.

Since there isn't a scientific explanation yet for events that co-relates(meaning happened more than once with almost the same setup), people take that as superstition as the best possible answer.

Correct superstition is nothing more than to try to link two events even if they are not really connected, for example you win a lot of money on blackjack when you are wearing a read shirt, next time that you go to the casino wearing that shirt you win again, now the person wearing the shirt thinks that he won because of the red shirt when in fact it was just a coincidence all of that happened on the first place.

Yes I agree it's all just coincidence, not just a victory but there are those who believe in superstition also in the way of gambling games. Like in a blackjack game if you get 777 then you can win in that day.

Its really just coincidence for those who won a particular game together with his own superstitious belief and i do strongly believe on that thing because nothing on this world can able to control luck on when we most need it. People do make their own chants or whatsoever habits believing that would boost up their luck on that particular they but they mostly end up on losing if luck isnt on their side even how much they would force to follow those beliefs.

I just wanna know if you guys are supertitious when playing or gambling?

I will admit I'm very supertitious when going to a land based casino. Grin

1. I choose the number of parking slot that I will park. Usually it should have my favorite number 111,777 etc.
2. I don't want to wait for someone if he or she is going to go with in the casino.
3. I wear the same shirt that I won big.

And a lot more..

How about you? are you sepertitious?

I'm not that superstitious when i gamble because i only play when I'm a mood or i have recieved my salary. But i know a guy who is very superstitious when he gambles because he really wants to get rich in gambling that's why he is vwry superstitious when he plays.

Which show us the most superstitious gambler are, it's because they are taking the most risks, if you are a gambler that plays occasionally and you are not betting a lot of money then you do not need to be superstitious at all since you are fine if you lose that small amount of money.

Yes i am very superstitious when i gamble because i feel lucky if i do all those things and gambling is all about luck that's why i believe that i always won everytime i do such things. But sometimes i lose if i do not do all of my superstitious.

Yes. I'm glad I found another person who believes in superstition when gambling. I continue to monitor my thread and I only find few people who really believes in it. I'm not forcing anyone to accept superstition but I just want to share my experience with it. And recently, last week to be exact after so many months, I went to a casino with all superstitions belief I have and I must say that I won big. The first slot a got get me a minor jackpot. My initial capital went x6 and then another x5 and then x5 again with another machine. Maybe I just lucky that night and I went home very happy with my winnings. Grin

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.

fully believe on a superstition would never be a good thing to do , but consider it as a fun way to gamble might could really entertain you. sometimes i do counting people around me to decide odds or even to place a bet on roulette. and yeah mostly i just full of superstition when it comes to a game like that, otherwise i don't do it frequently.

Isn't it that we are co-related to everything around us?
According to the book I've read entitled 'meta secrets', we have the ability to influence other things.

That depends on your beliefs, we have a say in our destiny, if you want to become a doctor and you work hard for it then you will eventually become one, but as far as I know, scientist have proved that an element of randomness exist in nature and we are unable to influence or predict the results of a particular event.

Destiny and superstitious are very different. Superstition is usually none logical and desperate thinking. Believing in destiny is more personal like a journey you are in on live vs a load of superstitious nonsense.

I don't really believe in superstition belief. For me it is just base on luck when it comes in gambling, most of the time when you don't have luck you lose. I don't believe in superstitious. Huh

That's true, you shouldn't even think about it and it might cost you bad luck, it's just like how you think about something so much that it didn't end up happening. There is just nothing. I believe that it's based on our actions and how we deal with it is the answer.

That's true, it is not depend on our superstitious. Gambling would always depend on luck even how skills you have it is always needs luck to win, some gambling games not needs skills and professional gamblers does not always winning.

Gambling have no link with superstitious. But i see a lot of people are superstitious usually when they start betting, because they believe on something unique and different, but behind the scene nothing is here except luck. I believe only luck, it is working and we win everything including gambling because of luck.

How it is possible that in your first sentence you say gambling and superstitions have no link and yet on the next sentence you state that when people gamble then they become superstitious, it does not make sense, evidence suggest that people when confronted with something outside of their control will try to use charms or anything that could help them in this.

Yeah I dont think people started to become superstitious when they gamble. Not all really believes on it. There are just people who believes on their strategy and that makes them good as they gamble. I guess its just a normal thing to gamblers that we have something to believe even theres no basis.

Yeahhh

I don't think beliveing in your strategies gives you a better edge in gambling Cheesy

It just can't make you better, though it can make you deposit and gamble more than you should xD

Those people who are confident with their strategies are surely going to deposit more. But with my experience I don't believe on superstitions but sometimes I'm very confident on believing my strategy and I'm not saying that I have a perfect strategy. Still I have flaws but it's good to give you more courage when you gamble.

I didn't really understand what you're trying to say but I'm saying that the original poster wants to know what you do before you gamble. It's somewhat of a ritual I guess so you could be more positive and be more Lucky in what you're going to play.

Yes, this is just an coincidence that happen between the user mind and the game outcome. Already the mind was eager to get a win.and when the same is experienced people believe the superstition has helped them win. Same time if lost its there bad strategy that caused the failure. We need to change, gambling is all about luck. One who is lucky make profit and the rest losses however he make strategies or go with superstitious beliefs.

True, a lot of people are very superstitous, sometimes I am also superstitous but I didn't apply that much especially in gambling because gambling is more on luck.

Isn't that the reason why you are being superstitious? To become luckier and believe that you can really be special in gambling and hopefully you could really win more and probably earn more and stop before you get greedy.
