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.

What does it mean to gamble based on superstitious reasoning? I would think that everything that we do inside of gambling would be based off some sort of superstitious reasoning not something like picking the same results as before would have a negative result type of thing though we have the confident feeling overpowering the other feeling of superstition right? I don't like to call my results and active picks based on superstitious reasoning because it just sounds weird.

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

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.

Always do not look for positive aspects alone. Due to just following superstitions, gamblers may face extra losses instead of stopping gambling at right times. You cannot bring your luck through superstition that is the point we need to consider here.

When gambling works well with luck and superstition may or may not work for bringing luck, we cannot be sure about it.

If you confuse gambling with superstition or premonitions you will likely keep losing until the very last cent of your money. There has been people who have won the jackpot with their premonitions though but that's 1 in a million chance to happen to most of us. We should keep gambling as a mean of entertainment only and not something that we need to win money. We play to win yes but this should not become an obsession otherwise we become addicted to it. We all know the consequences of such happening.

Obsession and Believing is two different thing. The idea that you will always win because of superstitious will end up what you have describe which is obsession. But if you just believe in it or accept superstition then nothing is wrong with it. The only common factor between the two is that you can't rely on them on always winning its more on a psychological thing for a person.

According to some experts superstition can increase luck, or can change your aura to possitive. One of the most superstitious character I know is midorima ( In kurokos basketball ). My mom and my grandfather believes in superstition but in gambling I think statistics, mathematics, experience, and intuition plays a more greater role in winning.

Well for me its all in your mind. Being superstitious inngambling makes you confident about playing whereas you can also be like that even if you're not superstitious if you just condition your mind to be like that. Though i don't see anything wrong with it, i don't think it affects the result at all
You're right there is no wring for being a superstitious gambler if you have a proper mind towards in everything what you do. A too much superstitious gamblers is not a good thing for the effect of being to confident like to continue betting in winning events that many results in losing all of the profit and develop greediness in mind.

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
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.

That's a funny story mate  Grin 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.

Very true but superstition has engulfed some of our generation and they attribute every happenings around them as having connection with something out of this earthly realm.

I don't have any superstitions but I do set rules for my trading such as I set an amount that I'm willing to bet with each week. This is more of an effort to keep from spending all of my money.

I didn't meet not a single gambler who didn't believe in superstitions. People try to get odds and hunts from many stupids things in real life just to get winning stakes. Gambling and superstitions go together in hands in hands though many people deny to recognize that they also do believe in this. When I was doing gambling I went through similar situations many times.

Alas!!! I have found someone who understands that gambling and superstitious go hand and hand. I saw a lot of members here saying that they don't believe in superstition. But I think most of them didn't know that at one time or another, they apply superstition in betting without knowing it. Like picking their birthdate to put in a lotto is already superstition per se. And I'm not saying its a guarantee for you to win if believe in it, what I'm trying to drive at is that you have something to lean on like you are invincible and because of that positive attitude you attract aura or an intangible energy that helps so in a winning mode.

Yes they are entirely different but there are people that are applying superstitious belief before they gamble. It's like before you gamble you will wear red t-shirt and jeans to become lucky. That's the point of superstition, it's not about comparison but showing the relevance of those people that are believing in superstitions as a gambler.

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. However, it's different in dice since it's pure algorithm and we know already that they have an house edge so in the long run we will still lose, and we cannot complain on that.

I don't believe in superstitious because it is not a guarantee that you will always win if you have your favorite shirt on. Maybe its just a coincidence that you won and have your shirt because if you try to wear that again 1 out of 5 you will lose and will lost more. I think people believe in them like chance, coincidence and luck because it has fascinated both professional and recreational gamblers alike.
