Topic: How does the game of luck in gambling really works? - page 15. (Read 2429 times)

Let's examine luck as a personal aura first. Not so. Gambling involves pseudo-unpredictability, a mathematical process that simulates randomness in an organized game. Your presence, the day, or the moon phase don't matter. Ultimately, it's numbers, probability, and cash

A friend wins? A statistical anomaly, not your aura's magic. Personal luck keeps players going returning to casinos. The house always wins in the long term. Thus, this magical gaming grace is just human nature's method of making sense of randomness, notwithstanding its appeal. If there was a definite technique to win, casinos would fail. Fast

Luck is random.

It's just a coincidence that you were in your friend's house and decided to tell you that it was you that's why he won the game, anybody could tell that if he won a big amount, imagine if he lost all his money, I bet he would say "you're the reason why I've lost my money, you bothered me and ruined my momentum".

Luck don't happen all of the time, for me it's just a wheel of fate, because everything happens for a reason.

I think they are the same thing and work together. Like if the day of grace didn't come then probably the gambling won't remember you. In order words, they are working together and that cumulates into the luck for that day.



Something like this do happen especially in Africa traditional setting. It does with the traders that they link their sales to first patronizer of the day, so there is the believe of good omen or bad omen for the daily sales depending or the first person to buy from at the beginning of the day so when they realized there is good sales from a particular customer, they lure or wish the customer comes to buy from them as first customer everyday. So it is possible if you carry such luck around, you can as well influence people around you on same luck attraction.

OP is actually nice observation you have here but for me in terms of gambling I don't think there is something like individual grace but I'm surprised to see that if most persons are very consistent on there wining people feel that is a grace that has been behind his wining, so perhaps that's what left me with the question that since is a grace that makes those people that has been very consistent in wining does it mean that those that were unable to win doesn't have a grace? For me I just see gambling as a game of strategy and pattern so perhaps that a man keep making winings on gambling doesn't mean that is a grace but it means that he has a unique way or pattern at which he uses to gambe, however I have seen people who are very consistent in wining not because they are so experienced but because they only bet on a single game that they feel has the possibility of playing and of course there are games like that so they keep making wining while others keep targeting higher at the same time losing, so gambling is just a game of strategy and pattern.

I've also heard similar stories, and it's quite frequent to hear such superstitions or about positive energy or auras. I don't believe in the concept of luck either; I believe in the mathematics behind probabilities. Some people argue that I'm too dogmatic for not adhering to such beliefs, but throughout my years I relied on scientific evidence, something that can actually be proven in practice.

And to answer your question, yes, the definition of the word superstition describes what you already said yourself: mental reasoning.

Quoting the definition from the Britannica website

That in reality is plain superstition and it was only your friend excitement that thought your brought him luck that he paid you 800 dollars things yesterday night.That is great when someone gives you such a nice amount out of nowhere thanking you for bringing them good luck.

Some people truly are like that,they think that someone,specifically someone they like can bring them good luck while they play and I have seen quite some of them playing in the physical casino when some middle age men usually took some of the young kids staying there in the coffee as at that time there were no limit on age to enter in the casino,at least in the Western Balkans was so  to bring them good luck.

I believe that it was a coincidence, and you were lucky to be at the right place at the right time. That is what luck is all about. If you are lucky enough to play the game at the right time of your luck, you will definitely hit the jackpot.

I don't believe in that you mentioned, because this is gambling, and bet me, if it is true that such exist. Definitely, gamblers would always carry those people that their luck matches with his game to the casino, or would always have him around himself when he is gambling, and that gambler will keep on winning always. You should try it for yourself. Go and visit your friend again, in three different occasions, and tell him to gamble, let's see if he will win during all your three visits.

I myself believe that in gambling it is luck that determines the victory obtained by the gambler, it is luck that gives victory, not our efforts, even if we use an accurate strategy, if there is no luck then it seems that there will be no victory that can be obtained. With the story you told, your friend won, maybe because at that time your friend really had luck. Or you can ask him why he was able to win, whether he gambled using certain tricks or patterns. However, if you really use patterns and strategies, in my opinion it still boils down to luck.

I myself have experienced it, where I, who have been gambling for a long time, have never gotten a big win called a jackpot, even though I have used patterns and strategies that I believe can get a jackpot, it can't give me a win, whereas with my brother who doesn't know anything... what about gambling, where he only gambled once because he wanted to satisfy his curiosity, in the end he made a deposit of money and gambled carelessly without using certain patterns and tricks or strategies, he was able to win, I myself was surprised but it was true maybe this is what is called luck. Also last night, I saw that there was only enough remaining balance to do one spin, and I did it. But miraculously I was able to get a pretty big win. Therefore, I myself believe that luck is what gives you victory in gambling.

It actually depends on one's or gamblers belief to be honest. What had happened to you and your friend might be a coincidence but yeah congratualtions to you and your friend. I personally don't believe on it because I truly believe gambling is really based on luck no other thing. I don't know about you but for me yeah it's all about understanding different things around us especially gambling.

Nope- this is just some mental reasoning in order to justify and rationalize their experiences.

Remember that gambling is all about luck. No matter how prepared and ready you are, if the odds are against your favour, then you would most certainly lose on your games. The experience that happened to your friend is that he got lucky and he used the right method of channeling his luck by purchasing the money he just won. Most gamblers would try and bet again but your friend definitely did the right call.

There is also the presence of house edge in order to give gambling platforms/casinos the 1% edge so that statistics would favour them in the long run. At the end of the day, it is how you approach a winning/loss that will determine the streak of your fate either short or long-term.


There are people who believe in good karma- and that karma would result to them winning in their gambling games. At the end of the day, it is their superstitious beliefs that will drive them to gamble more depending on their personal experience outside the gambling sphere.

I acknowledge your good will stories, and others you've written. The article seems to have diverted from gambling to a superstitious believe or if a soothsayer is able to influence gambling results. However, I don't know, but the house is not complaining, as it causes lesser troubles, and doesn't reduce their daily income. Hence, not all gamblers are lucky to have you around. If the world had lots of people with similar characteristics, the gambling niche wouldn't have existed, due to numerous losses. Good luck to your friend, and the people you've helped using your gift, win in gambling. But, practically speaking, and giving a straight up answer, without being biased, I think such thing doesn't exist. People tend to forget about themselves and focus on what they believe. That's why when you attack what they believe, they feel as though they were directly attacked. It's all about the way one thinks, traditionally. Desires they say spreads like a plaque. When people begin to desire those believes about you, it spreads and appear as though it's real. My opinion.

The game of luck that is involved in gambling, is it the one of individual grace which attracts goodwills? Or it is by the days the gamble decides to remember you and then gives you the chance (s) winning?

I brought this up here because last night I went visiting a friend in his house and getting there, he was busy concentrating on his phone which I knew nothing about what he was in there doing.
He pleaded with me to be patient a little so he could finish up what he was doing and I said okay, go on and don't even stress yourself hurrying because of me.

He went silent at me for over 10mins and finally, it was the casino game tha he was busy playing.
The next thing he said to me was... Mate, let's roll out to the mall, I am taking charge of your bills tonight.
It was like a joke and we both went shopping and he paid $800 of my bills.
Guess what fellas, he said he won $13,980 in his casino bet while I was in his house. He claimed it was by my grace of goodwills and positive energy that attracted him that luck to win so, he don't mind having me 10% of that winning because he can't remember the last time he won a bet.

I don't really believe this dude because such grace has not even worked for me although some of my physical trader friends sometimes says they have more customers anytime I comes around their trading centres and they love having me around.

Does this really happen a reality or it is just some sorts of mental reasoning fellas?
