Being superstitious is of two kinds two like one is before I make a bet I will just pray to god, which is not bad at all

Lots of players are praying before they bet, and i bet the other side is praying too.

while one is that before I bet I will give one third of money to donation which as it does sounds is horrendous.

Wow, you raised superstition to next level where you donate money before you even bet Shocked

EDIT* don't get me wrong, donations are great, but your reason is wrong.

Don't laugh guys I have seen some people who pay some "astrologers" like 10% of their earnings they make in an year.

Also if you ask astrologer who will win between to teams who are not even playing against each other I am sure you will get answer on who to place bet Grin

If you think that superstition will help you in gambling I suggest you stop immediately and don't gamble at all. These so called premonitions have made people lose millions of dollars in casinos. I have seen in person in a casino where a couple of middle age 40-50 years were saying this will be our lucky spin and they kept losing until they lose all of their money. The sum were about 17.500 dollars if I remember correctly. Superstition is only a way to lie to yourself and cannot help anyone in gambling.

l agree that superstition cannot help anyone in gambling if it is your luck it is your lucky day but if not then it is now.
Just do not risk too much of it so it will not be regret in your part if you lose big amount of it. Gambling is fun and risk. Take as much risk as you can afford to lose.

how we cannot be sure about our luck same way we cannot be sure about superstitions will work all the times. But people to believe on superstitions will maximize the possibility of being lucky that is the reason they are following superstitions and they are pushing their luck to come and work for them to find profits in gambling. Not just in gambling I believe people are using superstitions everywhere.

That is right to say, people are following superstitions everywhere so they just come as per your point why not for gambling also ?

When gambling is all about luck then superstition is a method of finding our lucky day, why not we use superstition to make a day as a lucky day. Similar to luck factor, people switching over to different superstitions every day when they are not finding one of their beliefs is not working.

Being superstitious is actually very dangerous in gambling field because people just become too lazy and they bet on those predictions given by people.

Me and my family do believe most of the time in superstitious but right now when we are getting wiser with the usual ways. And with gambling, I still manage to believe with it just like with lucky numbers, on what day is the best day to gamble. What do I need to wear to be lucky, just like Chinese believes for wearing polka dots.

If you think your clothes are bringing you luck than i suppose you are wearing the same lucky clothes every time you gamble and you are winning all the time, right? Shocked

And how many times did lose when you had your "lucky clothes" on?

I don't want to mention on how many times did I lose with my so called lucky clothes because I can't even count them all. I don't know why I keep on believing with this thing though it's proven that it doesn't have something to do with winning. Well we are really influenced with our Chinese relatives about this matter.

I just wonder if these are not working kind of activities, how people will be following these till today. They must be successful by following some superstitions and that is the reason they are still following them. But it will not work hundred percent but may crack success most of the times imho.

I agree with that reason, otherwise all the people around the world will not be following some kind of superstitions.
In Indian culture people are very much showing interest on astrology and I do hear some people are using astrology for their trading as well as for their gambling.
Still, I'm not sure about their success rate. But they are using it because they are finding it is useful as per their belief.

There may be two different cases here. Some people are just following their ancestors words and without benefits also the might be repeating it. And the other case would be what you have said. They find it beneficial and that is the reason, they are following those superstitions/astrology.

Still I'm not ready to accept because there will be no differences between believing superstitions and our luck.

Yes, how we cannot be sure about our luck same way we cannot be sure about superstitions will work all the times.

Superstition is indeed everywhere, but really it doesn't do anything. I don't believe in any though, so I haven't tried it. I believe in facts and how things work. If the superstition is practical or has a real life use, I will use that practice not because I believe it as a superstition but because it is ueful.

But there will be no statistics to support superstitions and not to follow superstitions. People go for again random attempts by having one extra belief through superstitions along with the basic dependent factor luck.

Superstition for me is just psychological. Because you think that you are lucky today, then most probably you are going to win. Being superstitious will affect your mind of feeling or you are motivated to win. So I think this is positive for some people here, for example, they are wearing their favorite shirt or wearing their favorite color and then then won. So the next time they will wear it again thinking that because of wearing them will help them win again. So its more of a psychological thing for me.

Huh you wear the same t-shirt and same parking slot it doesn't make any sense. Normally gamble when I know I'm in luck. The way I find my luck is I invest 0.01 btc and gamble some and if I'm winning I'll invest more and continue withdrawing profits. I have heard worst superstition than yours , a gambler would only gamble if no one wore red in the casino.

That is called a superstition and he might have lost that wearing that too Cheesy

but he might not notice that because his brain supplies the signal that he won big time earlier and his thought process wont change,hope he will wash it atleast once in a month Cheesy

. I do not have any experience in a real life casino but i hope there are many people with stupid thoughts like these.

You hope i can guarantee you there are many people in the world who actually live in this superstition world. And ya even i though once that weather he was actually washing his clothes because i saw him wearing that everyday and he told me that he bought 7 of those. Plus recently he lost 100$ even after wearing his favourite color Grin

Most people in this thread are stating that they are not superstitious, but I bet some of them really are. It would be nice to see a poll on this topic, where people can vote without revealing their identities.

I've noticed that when I gamble on Saturdays I always lose so I avoid gambling on Saturdays. Is that a superstition?

IMO you have been unlucky, nothing more.
How often do you gamble? You could make a simple test. Write down days from mon-sun and every time you gamble write if you won or lost. After two-three months do some math and you will have your answer Wink

Yeah. LOL.

You will lose regardless of what day it is. It is just a matter of getting lucky when you are playing and that time you just got really unlucky. Try it again and play on saturday and see if still happens. Maybe this time around you win tons of money from playing on saturdays then you will now have a new superstition.

Maybe most of them are just hiding it. I am superstitious also. I think i got it from my parents and other relatives when we play card games with bets.
There is this one thing I remebered what my Uncle said to me. "Never keep in your pocket the money that you are winning if the game is not yet over." He means just let it be in the table until the game ends.
It is actually hilarious but I keep doing it until now. Grin

Superstition also is based pn the hypothesi. In short you are just on a prediction matter of whether your bet will win or will lost in the game. It can hard as want you think to win in the game because it has so many scenario of whats going on.

Superstitious will not surely give you a win, you need to be realistic if you want to win and your decision is purely based on fact not on your guts because you feel you are lucky. Though this happens in real gambling life as there are people who are doing it, but the new generation of gamblers are more realistic on their approach and they have a better success rate compared to the oldies.

I'm not able to go to casino so I haven't anything significant to report to you guys. But the above post caught my attention. Maybe a lot of us are superstitious but are just hiding or ignoring it. I like the "Never keep in your pocket the money that you are winning if the game is not yet over." I also have that in my mind. To put a little spin in it. "I don't keep in my wallet" but only in my pocket. I keep the money I won in my pocket even if the game is not over yet. But only in my left pocket. Why left? because I'm a lefty myself so its my winning hand. Grin

I do not know how you look at it but if you are asking our opinion I bet we have different views. My view is that you have developed a belief that Saturday is not your lucky days and then you end up losing in that day making you avoid playing gambling games during that day. Though you have experienced it, there is no scientific basis that Saturday will always make you lose you bet. So in my point of view, that falls under superstition belief.

Its indeed a superstitious belief because you set a particular day that you wont play at all because you do know you are not lucky on that day which really be considered as one but still theres no prove or basis if this would work or not.It does really depend on a certain individual on how he gonna handle himself on playing gambling.
