What i do when i am gambling in land base casino btw i play slot most of the time and before i press the play button on it i always scratch using my finger the image that i want to show up and connect in the slot machine. You can not blame me sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt but most of the time i lose in slot machine but still i keep doing it.

Haha that's new to me, what I do is crossing my fingers just like the usual gamblers that wants to be lucky. If that is working for you then it's good, as sometimes it also works for me when I'm crossing my fingers. Well this is just all of a sudden and there's no basis on it. We win for sometime and we lost most of the time.

Hahaha, I always saw this from many gamblers in landbased casino. And almost all of them are elders, (I'm not saying that BossMacko is Grin

). Maybe they are old schools and still believed in superstitions that why they still do it even we already know that it doesn't work (sometimes maybe, pure coincidence). I remember one incident wherein a elderly scratch scratches the pyramid so that she can get the bonus, lo and behold the next few spins give her the bonus that she has been waiting for. Its just luck though that the reel stops at a bonus, but I highly doubt that scratching the machine makes the difference.

The gamblers do belong to the different types of schools of thoughts. Some of them do believe much in the superstitions as they have actually found it working in their case.

In my view, it is somewhat helpful for the player because it entirely depends upon the perception of a gambler and his inner vibes that how he perceives the things around him. The better you feel the best you get.

I agree. There will still old schools gamblers here that when they started on their gambling journey, they also believed on it. Maybe they where influence but their friends or families and when they become old themselves, they carry this thought throughout and the cycle continues, they may influence someone along the way.

And then there's the new breed of gamblers. Never heard or doesn't believed on it and just rely on their pure God giving talents like in poker or sports betting.

Two complete school of thoughts, but just one aim, to gamble and win big.

I don't believe it, growing up with a gambler father I never heard him saying about superstition in gambling and also don't believe it. For me if you win you are lucky and if you lose its not your day.

True, a lot of people are very superstitous, sometimes I am also superstitous but I didn't apply that much especially in gambling because gambling is more on luck.

Isn't that the reason why you are being superstitious? To become luckier and believe that you can really be special in gambling and hopefully you could really win more and probably earn more and stop before you get greedy.

Nope, I know that being lucky is not always with us. But gambling is really more on luck. Even if you have already a gambling skills you will never tell that you can win all the time of your game right? We all not know when we were going to win but we still playing it because there is sometimes we think that maybe we can win in our next game which is we are still thinking of our luck.

superstition would always there as an extra entertainment in gambling , especially for those people who believe in a lot of myths and sometimes lazy to think realistics. gambling indeed about looking for the luck and do something impossible to win certain amount of money. unfortunately things never go as planned and expected in gambling because its uncertainty. superstitions has nothing to do with gambling realistically.

Exactly, we gamble to have fun and we can do anything even if others judge us that we will not gonna with if not realistic.
The satisfaction is the most important, when you have fun gambling you'll definitely gonna forget your loses and you won't get a negative results. Most of us are gambling basing on our luck and since there is no exact method to attract luck we tried different things just to have it and win the game.

In the process of looking for luck, some people believe in superstitions. It's just a way some people pick to make the game more entertained. And for sure people will have different ways on how to get excited during the game.

Superstitions have no sound reality grounds in nature .they are only a way person perceives the things happening in his or her life.

Gambling and superstition have a deep relationship nowadays for most of the people because both of these are only dependent upon the inner vibes and perception of a person. If someone has a positive note on a particular day then obviously his superstitions are according to it.

I believe all gamblers are probably the most superstitious people in the world and they will do anything to improve their chances of winning. Whether it is carrying a lucky charm or performing some sort of ritual before or during their gambling sessions; anything to influence lady luck to smile on them.

That superstitions can develop in many gamblers and become a basis for future gambling sessions. If the player has won, he looks at what transpired during the winning session. This is where a player may decide that an article of clothing or some other activity was “responsible” for their good fortune. Likewise if a player loses, he will look to see what may have caused his misfortune. If a player has one or two losing sessions with a particular dealer, they may develop a feeling that the dealer is unlucky and unbeatable.

I also believe on it, because all gamblers have same thinking whenever they win in games. They think they win because they use this strategy and mostly gamblers think, they win because they use their lucky charm, it mean they consider some colors and dress and sometime they have a lucky girlfriend that's why today they win in betting. But it is all our strange thinking in reality may be these things have no credit of our winning, because it is just our superstitions.

Yes, I thought so too, that's why there's such thing as lucky charms. People really do believe in them and they tend to hold on to that belief, regardless of the nationality and age. The sad part is there are some people who rely on pure luck, but others tend to be more strategic when it comes to gambling. And that's where addiction to gambling takes place.

When it comes to gambling, a lot of people who are not superstition in daily lives also become more superstition. Some of the example that they do like wearing lucky charms, or prefers not to sushi or read a book before gambling as they sound alike with 'lose' in certain languages. I also tends to see people try to rub the screen of the slot machine in hoping that they will get good pulls when everything is programmed.

I'm superstitious and in gambling I try to stick to some signs to increase my chances of winning. Usually I dress my happy clothes or use my happy perfume.

Gambling depends on luck and we cannot deny this fact. There are games which also require some analytical skills like poker and sports bets but even in them, luck plays an important role.

This is the reason why nobody has ever been able to win in his entire life without facing a defeat. Man can only learn from his mistakes and in the course of being successful, you need to face defeats.

If a person is only in need of fun and has nothing to do with the gain and loss of money, then there is no need to become superstitious about anything. It is a fact that such sort of feelings and thoughts take over you only when you have a fear of some sort.

I play gambling only when I get a free time out of my daily routine and have no particular greed for money.

I think it doesn't hurt to be superstitious in a way because it could help you with your mindset. It's not just your gaming that is need, it's also the mind how you think you can be positive on the outcomes because for sure, when the reds (losses) occur, your mind and emotions will feel differently because you need to be positive no matter how hard it becomes.

Well these superstitions sometimes will give us a good laugh but in reality to those gamblers that are believing on this thing are serious about it and we have to respect their belief. Wiw, that elderly scratch on the pyramid is just a real luck. I never experience this on my gambling career maybe if there are times that I'm in mood and I'll remember this, I'll give it a shot and will see for myself if this is helpful to me.

I'm one of those who might say that believed in superstitions. I really don't know how I came up believing in it. Maybe my Father who is a avid gambling is a big influence to me. And when I go to a traditional casino, I would also wear my favorite shirt. There were cases I won, but I won't denied that fact that I only experience losses when I worn them. I guess its already in my mind and I can't just ignore them because its how I've been brought up.

I don’t think you, as well as many others in this thread, have stopped for a moment and think seriously about what you are saying: you are superstitious, so you do something you think brings you “luck”, like wearing a shirt, crossing your fingers of whatever. Then, what happens? You sometimes win but most of the times you lose. Think for a moment: what will happen if you don’t do that? Exactly the same: you will win sometimes but most of the times will lose. If you feel more comfortable wearing the shirt or doing whatever, do it, but I wouldn’t call that superstition, rather nonsense.

And no, of course not. Scratching the machine doesn't make the difference.

The reason why you still do it is because you have it at the back of your mind that since you win via that method, you can win again but the fact that it has fail once or twice shows that it was merely coincidence that it worked in the few times that it did. Superstitions is something we believe in when we don't have an answer to what we are facing at the moment and sometimes when we just want to believe in it ourselves.

That's because you still want to experience the entertainment in gambling, it doesn't matter if we lose as long as we are spending based
on the amount allocated in gambling. We can have fun if we still have control to our self because once we become irresponsible we will lose a big money
that will make us suffer in the end.

We can all see that on the television when a poker game is happening.
You can see how they are acting sometimes and that could be a hobby while they are playing or their superstition.
I do believe many people are doing it since it had been a tradition for many or somehow they win while acting like this or wearing something and that made them lucky for the day.
