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?  Smiley

I try not to be, but actually, I think this is the only choice you've got. If you are smart enough to understand, that no strategies will ever help you - this is pretty much it, rely on luck. I can't say it works for me, but at least I'm not feeling so frustrated when losing and don't blame myself for making a wrong decision or strategy. I think this way it is also easier to stop, when you realize that this superstitios things no longer wash.

I always do weird things when gambling I cannot even write them all down lmao.  I think its more calming than helping me win more.  It keeps me from making bad choices to stay in a ritual and pattern.

Nothing special, I just listen to my favorite music and wear the same shirt. Thst will put me in the zone so I can concentrate better while gambling. The more comfortable I am, the better I do.

Does it really matter why people make certain decisions while gambling? I am pretty sure that no matter what rituals or superstitious activities the person does before they gamble they will only win if the system wants them to win. Non-believers will just have to go with what the owner gives them.

I wouldn't do any rituals or superstitious acts before gambling because first of all it's bad and there isn't any excitement while gambling doing that kind of stuff.
Superstition is  just a way for gamblers to try to take control of something no one has control over it, luck. But as we know that is impossible so any attempt to do so is going to fail but it seems it is part of human nature to keep trying anyway even if it does not work.

I have seen lot of my friends who are very superstitious and they are not only playing gambling according to their superstition but they in real life also living the same way, but this way they are some time good going but they are not fully depended on that . So this way you can rule on both type being superstitious and not superstitious

If one got lucky and won because of superstition, then there would be no casino's today. Superstition does not have any effect of you winning. It only a myth and not proven by science. Its still up to you, if you are lucky then you will win. Its pure luck that you needed.

It's a good addition for your confidence that you will be lucky enough today. The bad thing about superstitions when a gambler is completely relying on it, he really doesn't care anymore because he expects a lot when he is following other people's tip about with this belief. Believing in superstitions plus proper application of it is enough, don't get too much with it.

I don't believe in superstition because in human being life time luck will be attained to us only once it's my belief. Even i tried many time like you but failed in all aspects of wearing the same shirt. Gambling is mainly based on luck, some time even you don't have any confident about gambling, than you will start making money through gamble. That's how it depends.
Perhaps some people still believe in the luck to achieve great benefits but there are also still do not believe in the luck on themselves resulting in defeat or misfortune, but in gambling is very necessary kerpcaya towards the of luck on there is advantage in getting play gambling. thus convinced myself we have luck each time, starting to play with a sense of happy is definitely always luck favors the US.
You can't get any kind of advantage just because you think you are feeling lucky, also if you feel happy it won't change outcome of the game and it wont bring you additional luck. It's gambling and outcome is random ffs!

Well based on my experience and based on what i know there are certain individual bwho are very superstitious with regards to gambling they have this superstitious belief with regards with specific date and day, color of dresses or clothes to wear, money to use when betting from where it came from and to some individual they don't really applied superstition in gambling activities.

Are you one of those people? That's kind of a freaky gambling method, I am sure that it would scare some of the regulars.

It's not even a gambling method but that's what we call superstitious belief. If you will those type of people you will see it as crazy thing but it's them, they do believe that they will have more chance of winning if they are going to have that type of belief. I don't have any against with those people but it's hard to depend with it.
Yes , but i see some people also like that being lucky with the color of the clothes or something else it is normal in this world .
I am also a superstitious in gambling its just a self confident for me but then, still when i gamble i used to manage my losses and winning on my own and not depending on superstition.

It maybe a coincidence twhen you saw people that are very lucky wearing colorful outfits. But I really don't recommend that you need to be superstitious in gambling because in the end of the day, you are still the day that will predict and play for your fortune. If you haven't manage yourself, you'll be dead.

Well though there aren't really any proofs yet as to whether this works scientifically or not, i don't see anything wrong with people believing that other factors may affect their chances of getting a good result. Highly possible that it's only coincidence, but the positivity that it gives to those who believe are a plus factor when you're playing luck based games

You got the point there as long as beliefs dont have negative outcomes in your life there is nothing wrong with that.
I think we dont need a proof just to believe we have own different opinions and superstition in some ways not only in gambling and its true .We are the one who still know how to use it in a right way.

Talking about science with this type of belief, there is no scientific explanation on this. It's a pure speculation that you will be lucky for following this type of belief and we know that belief and science are separated and it is contradicting each others point of view. Yeah there's no wrong to those people that are believing it.

in gambling people really believe to do a lot of things that not makes sense , relying and believing on something will get you nothing but fun factor only.
When gamblers are targeting for only fun, I believe there will be no need of finding something which are completely irrelevant to gambling like superstitions. Only when they are want to make their gambling profitable, they need to innovate new things just to make sure their luck is always with them.

Innovations are always good and funny when we are getting the desired results, at the same time gamblers go for some complete meaningless thing in the name of superstition and finding no results out of them.
Yeaaaa i can say when you do some ritual while gambling sometimes it is fun to do.
More than just a demand to win , indeed some people trying so hard to make their bets win.
Include doing something supertitious , there's no harm , just some logical thinker laugh out loud to those people who did it.

Still it doesn't change the fact that any kind of ritual or superstition will never ever affect the outcome of your chances of winning. Yeah there is no harm in doing it, but there is really no effect as well. So it's just a waste of time to do as it doesn't even help. It just calms your mind and make you believe you will win.

Correct. You can't influence the outcome if you are wearing your favorite shirt or you have your lucky charm. It doesn't have that magic to give you the favor to win. Unless you are fortune teller and you can see in advance what will be the winning number. But fortune telling is a different thing. Still for me I don't believed in superstition.

I grew up on a very superstitious culture and just accepted it as a part of life. What I can't accept is that letting superstitions dictate on how you do  things on your life, like gambling. You are relying your money on something unreliable,not really good for your wallet. But i get it, we can't help ourselves to believe that certain actions lead us to winning some cash. It's good but it also fucks with your psyche and concentration when you forgot to do your superstition and it leaves you wrong-footed and distracted, therefore making you prone to lose in gambling. I do not really do superstitions in gambling but I can't say that it doesn't have its uses but in the long run, it's luck with a little bit of skill and common sense that will win us the prize.

It looks like you are talking about poker because other types of gambling don't really need your concentration and the state of your psyche doesn't have much of effect on the outcome. I think to have superstitious beliefs is bad for you in general, like you said, because it makes you even more confused then you are. I think we should rely on our skills not on superstitions, but also we shouldn't forget that without luck no skills will help us to win in gambling.

Why other such types of gambling doesn't need any concentration psychologically? In few games, we need to concentrate over the analysis of the player/team we are betting on, and in others like dice, we still need our concentration levels to be high because we might press the button wrongly and it may hurt if we lose. Being superstitious doesn't mean that anyone would be too much concentrative into what they have bet, but many things come into this. ~

But what if we win? I've seen a guy saying in PD chat that he hit the MAX button by mistake playing with 10% win chance and won. I don't remember exactly how much he won but it was more than 0.1. So, like I said, you don't really need concentration playing dice because there you can benefit from your mistake.

I have seen people not even watching the games they bet on, just because they think that if they would watch, the team/player might lose the match and they may lose the bet.

That's a superstition at its purest. And we all know that there is no sense in such behavior, but still it happens because gamblers would try anything to boost their luck. )
