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.

Gambling is definitely a luck not a supertition that you will be winning spontaneously. It is truly a luck because you gamble by fun to entertain you. It is a gambling that you might lose some you might win some as simple as that.

We just need to respect those gamblers that are also believing in superstitions. But I want to disagree with you, gambling is not just a luck dependent, we know that there are some games that are like that but not all the time it is. There are games that needs skills and others are believing that when backing up with some beliefs that can be more effective.

Totally right it depends on what game,
And also we need to respect what other players believe.

We have our very own beliefs before we gamble or the way we dress. And when it comes to the total luck games, for sure some others have their belief on it and they are applying with those beliefs with the hope that they can have more chance of winning. To those that aren't believing with this thing, let's just respect each other.

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.

Just let the culture as a culture , don't mix things up , there's no benefit to do it right?
Be realistic as nowadays is a technology age, sains age where something that not makes sense proven has no impact.
And 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.

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 isnt freaky since we dohave our own beliefs into things and that things being mentioned does really happen on reality which means there are gamblers who do follow these practices and we cant do anything about it since those are their beliefs but for me i dont really believe such thing because if we arent lucky on that day then we will definitely lose no matter how hard you would do those rituals you do believe but still we need to respect those beliefs of others.

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. 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.

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?

In reality I don't believe in any supertitious , it is because in the very beginning I was thinking that there exists some lucky things for ever person but when I tried every thing in the Gambling with my lucky number (.That is 8 ) , so here you should be practical and try to see that the reality is not based upon any type of numbers , atleast it is not profitable thing for our gambling life .
So here I will suggest you to keep your single time earned bitcoin in your wallet instead tp again play gambling , Because your supertitious power will not every time help you .

I don't believe in those kind of things for me gambling is just a game of luck,
You don't have to blame your superstitious beliefs about your lost or the profit that you gain.

Yes, gambling is luck. By definition.

If there is ever certainty to gambling, well it's not gambling.

But it is very easy for people to develop superstitions because they see "patterns" they do not exist at all.

For example, they think that having 10 reds means that the next roll is definitely going to be green. But in fact mathematically that is wrong. Your 11th bet has the exact same probability of being green than your first bet.

Oh, and the richer you are, the more supertitious you are. Sometimes superstition isn't a bad thing. It allows you to take risks that you wouldn't have taken if there was no supersitition. But definitely not good when used on gambling.

Mostly, people who believes in superstitious are losing, it will not help actually when you are gambling regularly, no escape the fact that every gamblers are losers in the long run. Of course this will only apply to games with house edge, skilled based games needs skills and one can win over the other if he is good enough.

Believing and being a superstitious have both advantage and disadvantage .It doesnt mean its is bad thing as it will only be a bad thing if your superstition result is bad but if it is good as tou earn from your beliefs its good .Supertition is not only present in gambling there are many supertition around that many people believe .

Nothing will be lost if you believe just make sure suoertition bring good outcome in your life .

Superstition are thing of tradition and I don't think it has any thing to do with your success rate in gambling. Gambling is a games of chance because you either make it or lose it. If the gods of gambler is on your side your tents to success effortlessly but if it is against you? You will continuously losing.

Success rate and superstition has nothing to do specially in gambling. Some have positive effect using superstition as reason for their success, while others that lose don't blame anyone, they can only blame themselves. But if someone believe in superstition like wore their favorite shirt, then still lost, then who to blame to? Of course, they will blame it in the old believe that superstition rather than blaming themselves.
