Had a friend actually who used to be too much superstitious with his gambling techniques. Whenever he made any bets, he always put his left hand on his cheek and sit in the same posture and watch the whole game until he wins the bet and that's the most stupid thing I have ever seen in someone, I mean how could someone be so deeply involved in gambling in association with such silly superstitions?
That weird. But let him be because of what he believes in. If he won, then its luck not superstition. I also have a lot of friends who believes in superstitious but I just don't say anything to them because I might hurt their emotions. But there are times that I can't really control it, and just laugh at them specially if they loss believing in superstition.
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.

People might believe superstitioun if coincidence happens too often and there sre emotions involved that can cloud ones judgement Deep down we know its nonesense but we want to believe so badly in something so we fool ourselves.
Maybe emotions are involved on some gamblers that's why they believed in superstition. That's why they cant distinguished what is luck and superstition for them. But they all noted that's its all superstition that gave them the winnings not luck or randomness.
but no addition just pure luck who gives things to happen.
It depends on what,how and ,when we play
WHAT- specifically what you want game, is it dice,roulette or slots which depends on luck sometimes, poker in skill and other games in experience.
HOW- does we play with knowledge of how to play it ,or we just play. We need to know the basics on playing what we play ,does it requires skill or experience or just pure luck.
WHEN - did we just play for fun in that day so our mind is in focus of playing, or we just play for we need money at the moment so where too pressured to play. Thus lucky feeling is on us that day.
Its not just luck in other games but most of the gambling games depends on luck too.

Not really because being superstitious is the one mindset that me be fit in, thought it may not actually the case be. It could be coincidence that wearing or doing same thing you may win but sometimes you also lose in that like wearing same tshirt, or playing at same casinos and same counter etc.
You have some point. Superstition can sometimes make the gamblers expect on the second or third time that they would still win because of what happened to them during the first time
We're also the same hhahaha but I'm more on 777 not 111 . but also in wearing the clothes im on. I'm putting clothes in the briefcase i have when i entered the casino and i have more luck with that and if i win having a luck that im putting the briefcase in a Comfort room and putting all my winnings in a clothes i put in a briefcase like a jackass right ? but its my beliefs. 
I think I may have been superstitious somewhat in the past. But nowadays I just need my lucky charm.
I do too in the past. Who can blame blame me having a lucky day wearing or having such thing with me or what I do before I gamble. But now I don't think superstitions will bring me any farther from where I am right now. But I think you still have your superstition belief because of your lucky charm
Its already superstition if you believe in your lucky charm. Maybe all of us has somewhat a inner believe in superstitious because every race in the world has one superstitious belief in their society. Just maybe individual doesn't want it to admit to themselves because other people may think that they are crazy or something.

Gambling is a combination of excitement and level of involvement is perhaps the best means to determine what is or isn’t gambling. While supertition is a widely held but unjustified belief in supernatural causation leading to certain consequences of an action or event, or a practice based on such a belief.

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.
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?
While I will admit there is a relationship between gamblers and superstition, the truth is superstition is everywhere, one of my female friends has this crazy idea that a particular outfit gives her luck with the guys so when she really wants a guy she wears that outfit, but that does not have any real effect except maybe a psychological effect on herself.I will admit I'm very supertitious when going to a land based casino.

That's a funny story mate
Maybe its psychological as you have mentioned and just coincidence as well. It really depends on the individuals background perhaps on why people believe in superstitious like the OP. Maybe he was brought up to believe in it while others see it as completely rubbish to begin with. No offense meant to the OP or his family.
Gambling and superstition are entirely different. We should not relate them, because gambling is just based on algorithmic calculations and prediction resulting on winning and failure depending upon the luck one holds. Superstition is something out of the world controling us, which never happens with gambling.
That's the real explanation but there are people who really believe in superstitious especially the older people, I have witness that because my dad does not go in cockfighting when the moon is not full, so it is really existing. LOL. Are you saying that I'm old as your Dad.
There's also a lot of superstitious believe around cockfighting. Just ask your Dad if he goes to cockfighting specially Saturday and Sunday this Holy Week because this is a lucky day for cockfighters to bet 
. This applies to a backyard cockfighting and not the big derbies in the country. (I assumed you are Pinoy dude!!). Do you complain if your Dad tell you that he losses because he didn't follow his superstition?

And this kind of superstition have a devastating effect to the players since it is more likely not gonna happen. There is a reason why it is called superstiont and that is believing on something that has no basis or guarantee of happening. One of the worst fallacy in gambling and one of the best reason why many gamblers have ruined lives.
