Topic: Is this true or some superstitious believe about gambling? (Read 1411 times)

Some people just place their beliefs over everything and even in the course of gambling. I know of some of my friends that always think that there are some religious beliefs that goes with gambling and with all the time they have still placed their bet, they still have some loses and with this essence, what then is the need of actually now relating gambling habits to superstitious believe.

Some method is better then no method at all and just being chaotic isnt the same as random.   I dont really go for the rumoured paths to good luck but occasionally they can make sense some.

Walk under ladder you might just get more likely to be hit with something from above, better to throw some salt over your shoulder then add the full pinch to your food.  I dont know its a reliable path but some luck may be incurred by following more then one direction, obviously just betting alone is not going to get rich for most.

  You have to have some system or timing to stopping hopefully after you have won some, I cant dismiss people who attempt some method of reasoning their way to better luck.

Look, gambling's simple. Its a game. You have victories and losses. That is the course of events. Put lucky trinkets and superstitions away. That is merely losers apologising. Belief, though, is an other matter. It can offer you confidence and a sense of winning to believe in something. It aches worse, though, if you lose. I usually tell people to believe in themselves rather than some rabbit's foot for this reason. The genuine winners regard gaming as a business. They handle their finances, are aware of the dangers and the chances. Superstition has nothing to do with it; self-control does. That is the long-term winning strategy and the way to maintain good relationships.

Witch doctor, fetish or any other approach isnt something that not matter when it comes to this aspect on which people would really be trying out different set of things on the moment that they would really be
that getting involved and as long they would really be possibly be able to do so then they would really be actually be doing it. This is why it would really be that important that you would really be that making yourself that wary about on the actions that you are taking and not really just that making up some step without having considerations whether its really that something that will really be a good step
and making those results which arent that making bad for you. Trying out to push up something on which we know that it isnt really that relevant or connected about gambling results will really be just that
leading into some frustration on the moment that you would be trying out something but failed.

Self realizations and normal or realistic approach would really be the key for you to be able to have such situation that  you wont really be that making yourself that impulsive
or someone whose really that been anticipating on something.

One thing that remains a mystery most times is the extent people are prepared to go in order to succeed in gambling. fetish practice isn't a new thing in the gambling world, but mot times it doesn't pull through which validates the fact that it's all pure luck. I have my reservations though and I think that the gambler involving a witch or any fetish practice should only select very few games for predictions from the witch Doctor. and more importantly ask around of the authenticity of the witch, because most of them are fake and dispenses guess works.

I have had an experience growing up when my friend and I approached a witch doctor and asked for his prediction with some three games, he predicted them well,  but my friend got greedy and gave him many other games to predict as well and behold, the first four predictions played out and other ones hat he predicted afterwards failed. I got very furious with him for denying us the opportunity to become millionaires back then.

Now going back to the witch doctor's place, we were notified he travelled and we never saw him again, so I think even if you want to go fetish, select as few games as possible for predictions as multiple games confuses the gods .

Yep, there are a lot of people who believe in such things. Whether you believe it or not, some people believe in predictions made by animals, lol. Isn't that the height of it? They do this for sports events where they put either the flags or some pictures in front of the animal, and the animal chooses one of the two flags or pictures and they say the selected one will win the game. I mean, what sort of bullshit is that? And people believe in this crap.

I have seen people making videos of such things, putting two flags in front of a parrot and letting it choose a side and then saying that side is going to win the game, sometimes it's a goat or a cow and if it eats one of the flags or pictures, the remaining one will be the predicted winner, lol. This shit is funny though .

That's right, I agree with your opinion that no matter how they approach gambling, whether they are gamblers who have the wrong approach like addicts or they are responsible gamblers, it is still recommended that it is better to get out of gambling activities completely. will always be advice that must be prioritized, because in gambling, even if someone has a stable and responsible approach, in the end there is always the possibility for him to fall in and be carried away unconsciously until he finally enters the addiction phase.

On the other hand, yes, I also always do this in the sense that when I see one of my friends who turns out to be involved in gambling, usually I will try to persuade him to stop gambling completely regardless of whether they are addicted gamblers or not, and also often there are several friends who come to me who ask me to teach them how to gamble at online casinos, especially how to make deposits and withdrawals, but I always say that even though they give me some money in return for the knowledge that I have provided about various ways to be able to I became a gambler, especially in terms of deposits and withdrawals, but I still refused and would never want to do it, and the reason was simple, that I was the only one who had experienced a downturn in gambling, lest my friends experience the same bad thing.

Yea, normally there are some people you will advice towards gambling, that's if you see them addicted to gambling and gambling so terribly but if you don't see someone that has a bad gambling lifestyles, I don't think it is so okey to start condemning gambling and trying to discourage them from their own gambling lifestyles, perhaps they were not involved in what ever ugly experience that you had in gambling before them. That's what sime people are doing, because they had a very terrible experience with gambling, they tend to paint gambling black in the presence of anyone they see gambling.

The world we live in is full of people of different races and religions and I think we all should respect each other's feelings. I naturally dislike this type of discussion because most of the users' comments in them can offend someone's religion or culture. But from my point of view, you should accept that gambling is a matter that comes up based on  your's culture and religion. And the rest is your personal freedom

Gambling is luck and not any form of superstitious believe because even if you believe in diabolic things, there are times when they fail which means it never did existed but you were acting based on luck but if you attach yourself to any form of superstition and it looks as though it is working, a day will come when it will fail you and you gonna lose a whole lot of money. Just take a look at your story about the amulet that didn't work for you but people believe it brings protection and luck so why didn't it give you the luck even though some others might say it works for them but it can't work all the time if at all such believe in the amulet is real. The only thing that makes some people believe that there are some diabolic things attached to gambling is because they got addicted and lost a lot of money and it now sounds as though something was pushing them into addiction just like the story of the OP, why didn't the man make reference to someone else rather than himself.

I have heard a lot of stories about people using diabolic means in gambling and the end result was very disastrous because it's just like a kind of sorcery, it brings good and bad at the same time and the magnitude of evil it brings defeats the good it brings. Do not be deceived, gambling is a game of luck because regardless of how lettered you claim to be you can never be an expert in gambling. If there were experts in gambling, it could not have existed again because people will literally be winning everyday with the help and predictions from the experts.

If they depends on the amulets, they will difficult to believes if they lose their money because the amulets is not helps them to wins. They must realizes that they don't have to believe in superstitious thing because that will not works in gambling and it's better they playing gambling like other people. Amulets don't be used for like that because it will have different function for those who playing gambling.

When they can understand that playing gambling doesn't have to believes superstitious thing, they will not have to search in many places to gets that thing instead just use their money to place a bet. That will not makes them frustrate with the outcomes because their amulets is not works like they wants. They only needs to enjoy their time and not have to thinks how to make money from gambling because that will difficult for them.

We can lets them use that thing and playing gambling as long as they don't makes a strange thing that can makes people suspicious to them. We can't force to leave that things because they believes that thing can helps them to wins so we don't have to bother with them. We just needs to focus with our games and playing gambling moderately.

They will knows their consequences using that amulets so we don't have to thinks much about them. But they must realizes that using amulets will not helps them to wins the games so hopefully, they will change their minds and leave that amulets and only trying to enjoy the gambling games as an entertainment. If they wins, that's not because of the amulets works to helps them to wins but that because of their luck.

I agree with you. I also don't believe in superstitions and rituals that will make someone win at gambling. I can't believe this ridiculousness. Gambling is something unpredictable. You can win or lose and you can't control it. If it is something that can be predicted like a sports bet that has odds and statistics for a sport, then you don't need a ritual to guess it. How is it possible that a ritual can change the outcome of a match watched by thousands or even millions of people.

There is nothing like superstition believe in gambling, every experience we hear happens to others are from real life, though sometimes we may choose not to believe because we are not the ones being directly involved or affected, the problem some gamblers have is that they are used to taking abuse on what should have been properly do e in the right way, then when the consequences begin to manifest along side they now think its something beyond ordinary, forgetting that they have been the one who had created an avenue for such occurrence long time ago.

In your view, you are right because anything that is abused or approached wrongly can lead to a bad outcome, but generalizing it is not cool either. For instance, alcohol, many will tell you that it is evil, but is it truly evil? Many are taking it and are just fine to the point that you will not even know if they are drinking alcohol despite consuming it almost daily. It is about us.

The same thing goes for gambling, it will never tell you to do this or that by itself, it is you who will do it, so no one should complain over the outcome. Also, many gamblers exist who have been engaged in it regularly for years but has never affected them till today, can we now say that they also practice evil things even as they might love doing it in addition? Even if such people are advised not to gamble, it might be as if the person is disturbing their life.

So generalizing things is what is off about this discussion, everything should be specifically advised so that people can be careful about it. Gambling has not been evil per se in my opinion, it is only being stereotyped by many due to the irresponsible gambling lifestyle of many gamblers and the way it makes people lose money easily.

I agree. Well, there's nothing wrong if you believe in any kind of charms that can bring luck when you gamble since that's what you chose to believe in. But we can't deny the fact that you win because of luck, it is a major factor in gambling. If these amulets can influence the chance for a gambler to win then probably the seller itself will use it for his own benefit and don't have to find a buyer just to make money. But again, it's still depends on us if we think this can bring luck to us.

If you see a gambler today who goes to a casino with a talisman that he thinks will bring him luck, he gambles, in my opinion, he still strongly believes in things related to superstition, indeed there is nothing wrong with this because it is related to each person's beliefs and is also one of the strategies he uses to gamble.

And every environment certainly has its own differences, whether it is related to the beliefs of customs that exist in the community itself and indeed this cannot be blamed because this will take place from generation to generation in the community

I would say that if it makes them feel better about gambling then let them have it, it is not going to hurt anyone to think like that, it would be fine. Unless, they think that they are going to win when they do something and risk a lot more than they should, in that case it would not be all that great and I would guess that we are going to end up with something much worse.

We should consider the fact that we are going to end up with some results that would not be ideal. Just because you have some superstitions doesn't mean that they are true, they are made up things that has absolutely no consequences on the results of the bets, if you know that and you still do it because it makes you feel better about it, then it's fine.

Everyone has their belief or something they stand their ground on. Some people feel eating creatures that crawl on the ground is satanic and as such not pleasing in the sight of God. I won't blame them or be against their belief. The most important thing here is that do you believe what he said or are convinced about his explanation. If not, then go ahead and place your bet there is nothing wrong with betting in my opinion. And the casinos don't do those things even if they suspect some local casinos to partake in some spiritual activities what about the online casinos?

Literally, it's just luck that has made them win not any supernatural amulets or objects that signify power. Since they believe in those things they feel it is what is giving them the wining. Meanwhile, they won't still say they haven't lost since they started using that amulet. Winning in gambling is luck and when that luck falls on someone he would win and not a supernatural activity.

Well, with gambling it is not like that and quite often. For example, you pay a witch to perform some rituals so that you won your bet, and even the odds are high, meaning that it is very unlikely that you will win, you can still win by chance. But instead of thinking that you were just lucky and because of that you won, you think it's because of the rituals that that performed. And then you believe in such crap even more. I personally feel sorry for people falling into this trap.

Players will indeed use any means to convince themselves and others that they are winning. Amulets and any other objects remind me of paganism in ancient times, when they attached great importance to ordinary things. Nowadays, a player is ready to believe in anything as long as he gets lucky. These amulets are objects for self-soothing and self-hypnosis and nothing more. On the other hand, if an amulet helps calm the nerves that prevent the player from making important decisions in the game, then it is useful, but it cannot in any way be associated with luck, as most players do. Ultimately, I think we need to focus more on ourselves, our skills, and money management, because we are the only ones who influence it.
