Topic: Is this true or some superstitious believe about gambling? - page 10. (Read 2400 times)

I don't believe in them myself, I feel like it's foolish to have such thoughts, like how in the world would you win more money on a specific day if you are not lucky or if you are not destined to win any? It's all dependent on your luck and destiny and you can't expect these things to change or be on your side on specific days or specific hours in a day, it doesn't work that way, you can get lucky any day, and the same is the principle for being unlucky.

So, whether it's about gambling or something else because people with superstitious beliefs would have the same sort of thoughts for everything. They would even have days decided for doing exercise or eating specific food and they only do them on those days and not in any other day. It's crazy, to be honest.

I see that happens to many people here and they related that supernatural with gambling. They believes that what they do with supernatural can helps them wins the gambling games.
But they don't know what the impact they gets from playing with supernatural. They can wins but not with supernatural because they luck comes in the right time so they thinks that they wins is because of they use supernatural thing.
We don't have to thinks about supernatural in gambling although some people still use supernatural when playing gambling. If we just wants to enjoy the gambling games, then we can playing gambling without thinks about the supernatural thing.

Gambling is a normal play that just got monetized to become a business for the owners and a source of joy and some sort of passive streams of income for others. Those
set of people that are superstitious with gambling  are the same set of people that think that almost everything is demonic including being a fan of a sports team or evening using the Internet is also demonic.

For as long as I know, gambling isn't something that's all that complex to understand that will make me factor out any sort of demonic trends into it. Instead of assuming that  gambling is demonic, I would rather think that borrowing is actually demonic as it's always deficult to pay back from someone you've borrowed from and maybe we could ascride such deficulty to mean that the person you borrowed the said money from could use strange power to stop you from being able to pay the money back as at when due

Well said. I personally do not believe in superstitious stories, I believe in the principle that everyone has a free choice, Fate, decision to decide and not necessarily influenced by any demonic or satanic stuffs, this is ridiculous how Satan will control someone to gamble and cause the loss of that person, so others who won weren't manipulated or we only loss when satan is involved, we need wash our brains and understand what gambling really is before we involve satan.

I agree. There are things or beliefs that are just applied by one person to an event just so he could make his mistake look good from the point of view of others.

Let's say I lost $100 in gambling and I have not won any single round. I might say as a Catholic that it's because the devil is within the casino helping them out to make me lose when the reality is the house edge is what makes it all happen. It's just like what the man said on the OP. There might be a time he was a gambler too because I doubt he will go to that conclusion without even experiencing some losses in his past.

You know these superstitious beliefs is being passed on from generation to generation through words of mouth, and this is why I will not blame those gamblers who are still believes that such thing exists. I have a friend that woke up one morning and told me, he saw a number in his dream, and he went straight to the Lotto shop, but unfortunately he lost.

I don't believe such these are in scenarios where our luck is to decided our fate or is it that a computer can have a demon that will change your destiny. Sounds very funny, though. The algorithm software that casino uses is designed to favor the house that is just the secret.

Shamans used this way to deceive people that they could make it rain. Or they were believing it themselves and thought when rain actually occurred after their rituals  that it was because of them. Same with gambling, since by chance anything can happen, sometimes those superstitious beliefs "work". Sometimes people think that lose because of demons, other times they think they win because of them. But in reality it's all random. No demons involved.

Indeed, it's an archaic thought. And gamblers may not be able to maneuver the ways the casino work easily by using mathematical laws. Although, good mathematicians seems to know how dice works. But, in a slot machine, which may have been designed by advanced mathematicians, it'll only require lots of efforts to manipulate the results we get as players. However, the house actually should be the ones in possession of those laws and implements it on the machines.

But, while most of the demonic sense are diminishing in current eras it's probably not right to think of the casino as a game being controlled demonically. It only defines how lowly informed the man is, regarding gambling. The house edge has already been designed to be that way, and most gamblers are aware of this, so if the man in question knew about the house edge he wouldn't have been referring it as demons. Op would have corrected him, that it's the house edge causing the numerous losses not demons.

In my religion, gambling is also strictly prohibited, and Satan's job is to trick us into gambling so that we are addicted or even Satan will lead us to shirk by believing in natural codes such as buying the lottery from dreams, or vehicle number plates from accidents and so on. makes us fall into things that are beyond logic. Even though we know, gambling games have a system or programmer so they have nothing to do with demons or anything supernatural.

However, whether we realize it or not, in modern times like this there are still many people who gamble, believe in things that are supernatural or related to natural codes to win a game, even though gambling games require mathematics, analysis and strategy to be able to win. I don't believe in superstition in gambling, but we can't deny that there are still many who believe in it, especially in lottery games.

The demon that manipulates people is the advantage of the casino or bookmaker, as well as the laws of the game that force us to make wrong decisions, lose our bankroll and ultimately lose. In general, it is not surprising that for this superstitious person, mathematical laws were transformed into obscure forces of nature, into evil demons. This is magical, archaic thinking. If you follow it, then you need to perform magical rituals before spinning roulette in a casino or betting on a football team to win. Previously, shamans used this way to cause rain.

No, no, there's nothing crazy in that at all. Respecting the beliefs of others isn't a bad thing, in my opinion.  


Yep, I'm saying this all the time myself, because I want to help people to not lose a lot of their money in gambling. I mean, if their stake is $0.50 they can believe whatever they want and make that bet, but if it's more than they can earn in a week, their beliefs may hurt them.


In skill-based games it might boost their spirits and help them win, that's true.

Superstitions may certainly exist in Sthanaveda but accepting those superstitions would certainly be foolish. If we arrive in 2024 and believe such superstitions, we must be fools. The person may have found something similar to the incident that led to the claim that miracles happen in gambling.

That's hilarious !! Isn't it disgusting to see people falling for their illusions and allowing it to control them. For me, that's just you being daft; Spiritually has nothing to do with real life event, trauma, games and sports, movies etc... You gotta be way too slow to avoid things that you should enjoy, simply because your religion prohibits it.. shitttt!

Exactly! When they begin to incure unnecessary losses, they blame them on things that doesn't even relate with the fact that they choosed on their own to indulge in gambling... How incoherent that sounds!

Edit: Unless they change their mindset towards how they perceive things, they'd never be free from mental slavery

Hahaha...I can't stop laughing in Chinese here I hope you thank the man eventually. That would be a polite thing to do. Frankly, he is right in a way whether you like it or not because in any avenue where money could be wasted, the devil could be a tool there just to punish someone and make his/her life miserable. So we should not totally disregard that, spiritual things are real even if we are either ignorant of them or do not care about them.

However, I will not go there further than that because many of these things they relate spirituality to are merely psychological things which can also be proven psychologically. We have different human natures, some are very weak and gullible, while some are very strong, smart and wise, it depends on the one in question that determines how they give in to gambling and also manage themselves and are cautious towards it.

In another aspect other than gambling, you see how some people exhibit folly that would have cost them so much if it were to be gambling or other serious affairs. So some people could be foolish and weak on their own and I so much expect such people to become miserable in the hands of gambling if they dare it instead of people always relating spirituality to it.

Just because we can't control our urges doesn't automatically mean a spirit is controlling us.

Basically, the person may have had a bad experience with gambling which is why he warned you about gambling. In some cases the results are hard to accept and such results may seem miraculous. But such superstitions have no basis because we cannot believe such superstitions in this present age. Gamblers gamble and the result goes against them due to their mistake or lack of luck, in which case the result is not considered a miracle at all or we should always avoid all these superstitions.

It sounds very ridiculous when they think or think that the casino owner is helped by Satan to be able to win in the long term or makes many people addicted, actually I'm not sure about this, because I think that they are addicted to it because of themselves, if blaming it on gambling is absurd. Apart from that, I don't think there is any element of casino owners forcing any of their players to gamble continuously and become addicted, by placing advertisements it is a natural thing because the casino they own is a business that is being developed, but the mistake is that many people are hypnotized by deception. from the casino owner. If they can think well where casinos are a business where the goal is to make a profit, they should be able to gamble appropriately.

Even though gambling is prohibited in some countries, I don't think it has anything to do with Satan, because this is just a business where smart casino owners can take advantage of technological developments, and those who are trapped in gambling like they are addicted to gambling are those who are stupid because they believe in easy wins. obtained while they do not see that casinos are a business.

But me I just believe you should do what you think that is right and do what you want in gambling, though the person had a bad experience, it doesn’t mean he should apply the theory to you gambling because your gambling and his gambling is different. You have to understand it on your own way. You don’t need to use another man belief to analyze your own belief. Just have to take his experience and the energy to do the writing that is all you need to do. Gambling is on all about risk.

There may be some superstitions about gambling in some places but the world has become very modern and people are now trying to keep up with the world. People now laugh at things that people used to believe in. Science has made our life much easier and science has taught us to think about everything much more simply. Although some people believe in some superstitions about gambling, gambling has spread all over the world and gambling is now an accepted game in most countries of the world.

He said he used to be a gambler but stopped when he discovered that and that there are demons helping the casino and sport betting owners to manipulate people into becoming addicted and getting more money from them. Well he said crystal clear haha and if you ask Is this true or some superstitious belief about gambling? I would say everything is back to you frennn and if you are believer then or most of people will straight away believe it. I mean in my religion gambling is prohibited and something prohibited sometimes has a connection with demon or something like that.

I don't like going by all what we see others say to be true, we sometimes also have to use our own understanding and discernment in judging over some situations in other not for us to allow them take advantage over us, if no one has ever known about someone being a gambler, i believe such word will not be uttered out to that person that gambling is demonic, we say some things all because we are aware of the situations, what about the ones we know nothing about, aren't they demonic as well, we should just learn to despise some weird advise and focus on doing what is right, having fun through gambling is never worst to that extent of calling it being demonic.
