It's effective because they believed on it, and if this gamblers rely on this beliefs for sure even if they have loses along the way, they will continue to go and adopt this superstitious belief. And just like what has been mentioned, cultures of every countries has it's own superstitions but there could be some common grounds.
And for non-believers, it's fine as well, maybe they are not that old and traditional and stick to the logic and only believed on their luck and nothing else. And this non believes could be the majority, as they don't look for excuses if either they win or lose.
Even non-believers can become believers if luck suddenly falls on them and they win a lot of money. For example, if at that moment their wife gave them a talisman just to hold or for the duration of a game session. But it will only be a coincidence and nothing more. However, those who believe in different things, I am not going to laugh at this, but respect the choice of each player, only I do not use anything, I just play. Of course, I believe more in mathematics than in talismans and other things.
A coincidence can still sway and help a person become more superstitious about things like amulets and feng shui stones even though they used to criticize these things as a negative social thing but just by working in their darkest moments in life, it no longer becomes a superstition, it becomes a fulcrum to become better. Superstition allows a person to be mentally uplifted and it also does not completely ruin their gambling life as without this value they would also collapse, sometimes looking at it this way, the gambler at least does not think of anything more insane
Yes, in such situations it really helps and is, as you said, a point of support. Therefore, I will never speak badly about these amulets and other things that will help a person not to fall into the very abyss. I just wanted to say that after they helped this person, you still need to learn to live relying on your own strength, and not continue to pray to this amulet all your life.
Well, I don't really believe in this kind of superstition, which is written about in this thread. In general, I do not really believe in various omens, because in 9 out of 10 cases they turn out to be false. However, at the same time, I believe in astrology, or horoscopes. Is it strange? Well, nevertheless it is so. Therefore, sometimes I watch various astrological predictions, for example, about successful periods for something or the influence of astrological factors on financial affairs.
Yes, many players and people believe in absolutely different things, and if some do not believe in the power of the amulet, at the same time they can believe in the horoscope, like you. I also do not really believe in many things, but I regularly read the horoscope for the next year, and see if it will be successful for me or not, by the way, I will go and do it now, because it is very interesting and curious for me.
