superstition is a character in gamblers I am not surprised by that, because many people experience superstition about the code signals they face. which shows that there is a delivery of a code. and losing and winning are already destiny in gambling games, it's just that defeats often occur and winning is only a few percent which is very far from instinct. there is no such thing as winning all the time so we must be ready to accept the risks that occur
Saying it's a character of some gamblers can actually be acceptable but generalizing it may be the reason why it may not be considered acceptable because some gamblers don't believe in it and don't even consider it a factor as they gamble. Even with the defeat to winning percentage not balancing up, it's not a reason for some others to even accept any superstition into their gambling except for a few who does.

Every gambler has it's own superstitious belief. I mean we always looks for "clues" or something that we might have advantage of. And so we rely on the old and traditional way in superstitious like color of our shirt and other "good luck" charm that we bring when we go on landbase casinos or playing online.
Although we all know that this is not something like a guarantee, but for us, we always look forward that we will be lucky and will win a lot of money.
And I guess this is kind of the mindset to all of us, it defy logic, but still though, we believed on this superstitious thingy and we cling to it.
Hahaha funny to say that even there's no basis there are gamblers who still believing and continue to follow those types of luck thing before betting, hoping that it will attract something though there's no guarantee or there's nothing for real that it will affects the outcome but gamblers always eager to find something that may give them edge to win.
If they lose they'll find another one if they win they'll keep it as it is and will continue to use it or to practice it the way they believes it.
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.

These superstitions are based on the culture that you grew up in.
For example, in Asian countries they treat the number 4 as the quoted 13. This is called tetraphobia, and I think it originated because of how close the word for 4 is to how you say "death".
It is so big that massive companies like Nokia would skip version 4 in their software for their Asian markets.
Also, some hotels with big numbers of Asian customers will skip the number 4 in the elevator.
Yes, superstitions grows based on the local cultures. In the past, I saw some people still looking for a spiritual place and quieted themselves to search for the sign. But some others use another way to make their choice to bet. It is normally happens in the Asian countries but I am not sure if that will still happen now because the technology has grown fast and many people in the above 25 years not doing that ways anymore. Some people will avoid the numbers 4 and 13 because they believe that will not be good for them so they will not choose both numbers. They prefer pick the other numbers. For example, in Asian countries they treat the number 4 as the quoted 13. This is called tetraphobia, and I think it originated because of how close the word for 4 is to how you say "death".

#1 Unlucky 13: This is probably the most common superstition there is known to man. It is manifested in movies, books and even in real life. You would notice that a lot of hospitals do not have the 13th floor in their elevators. It goes from 12th to 14th. This fear of 13 originates from the Bible where in Jesus’ last supper, there were only 12 guests until Lucifer came making him the 13th guest and the one to betray Jesus. Another is in norse mythology where a dinner by the gods are held with only 12 of them until Loki, the god of mischief, comes along making him the 13th guest before causing chaos. Maybe gamblers avoid betting on this number.

Indeed, they take that believing that it will influence the outcome of their bets, but in reality there's no real connection as gambling always have risk and benefits, if you are lucky then you'll win some and if not then expect that you will lose your capital, no supertitious that will change that fact.
But again, because of desperation gamblers will consider believing into supernatural thing and hold on it when things turned into their favor, they will keep it inside their minds that something unexplain happened.
What the player tries to do before the game concerns only him and his beliefs and is not connected with gambling, because it cannot affect the results in any way. When someone puts on something for luck, and believes that it should help him win, then only the player will believe in it, but I doubt that this can somehow affect the result of the game, it is not connected and has nothing except the player's belief.But again, because of desperation gamblers will consider believing into supernatural thing and hold on it when things turned into their favor, they will keep it inside their minds that something unexplain happened.

I was counting money in a gambling hall while gambling in real life and I was in danger that day. Hearing your story today reminded me of that day, because I was more into gambling in real life at first but now I am into online gambling. That day some bad people attracted me and scared me a lot and immediately those bad people robbed me of my money and mobile phone and many things.
Sorry to hear your sad experience buddy but that is not a Superstitions. its a crime you've mentiond here that was committed against you. read the article below, you'll see the real example of Superstitions.
Gambling Superstitions & How They Can Help You Win
That day it was dark at night because of which I gave priority to their rights the most, now I do not find this superstition online because of which I am most into online gambling. However, I think online gambling is much more popular and secretive than real gambling, but I consider the matter of money on this table as a superstition.
Great to hear you've taken your gambling online, especially to a crypto casino where there's no need for KYC. Bet you've picked up some lesson on your experience and keep the risks low. good luck.
Anyway, Let me know if you do follow some superstitions even if it is just for fun. Or which ones you think are extremely ridiculous.

I don't believe in superstitions when it comes to gambling. But even if I don't, many of my acquaintances probably do, but they are reluctant to reveal those things. I have heard anything like the superstition number 5 you mentioned. There, a gambler said that he came across a person who had bad luck at gambling earlier in the day and he guessed that day would not bring anything good for him, which later happened.
That is an interesting one. We often feel it in our gut when something is wrong or something is about to be. Sometimes it is just that overthinking part in our brain that makes us anxious and think of worst possible scenarios which do not happen because as I said, we are just anxious. But when our fears do come true, it makes us think that maybe our gut was right. Maybe a superstition we did not follow was the cause. But sometimes I also wonder that maybe we keep thinking and thinking of bad things to happen that it gets manifested in real life and our gut feel is validated even if it is all part of a coincidence.
#5: Front Entrance: They say that you shouldn’t pass through the casino through their front entrance as you may encounter a player who has lost and may therefore pass on their bad luck to you. Now, this one is borderline silly because what if a losing player leaves the casino through some other entrance and not the front one?
superstition is a character in gamblers I am not surprised by that, because many people experience superstition about the code signals they face. which shows that there is a delivery of a code. and losing and winning are already destiny in gambling games, it's just that defeats often occur and winning is only a few percent which is very far from instinct. there is no such thing as winning all the time so we must be ready to accept the risks that occur
No, superstition is not character of gambler because superstition is myth that is believed and related to mystical things so that it will be much more of belief or belief that is not fundamental and cannot be explained by reason and logic.Moreover, in this current era, although there are still gamblers who believe in superstition, most of them have forgotten it, especially those gamblers who live in big cities, they will believe more in their abilities and knowledge and luck.
Honestly, superstition should have no place in your mind because it restricts you from having fun and you are pressuring yourself to win because this superstition is being held on by people who are gambling to win money when in fact those who believe and those who do not believe in superstitions have equal chance of winning in gambling; there's no advantage whatsoever, but only to make you confident, which for me is a false confidence.
Nope, it will never be gone because that's how it goes when a gambler believes into superstitions. That's just hard to get out of our minds because it's stuck there forever. We're even applying that at most times because we think that it should be how it goes. We have equal risk and chances with those that don't believe in superstitions too but those that believes on it are hard to remove it on their heads.Indeed, they take that believing that it will influence the outcome of their bets, but in reality there's no real connection as gambling always have risk and benefits, if you are lucky then you'll win some and if not then expect that you will lose your capital, no supertitious that will change that fact.

This front entrance thing is ridiculous. Where will they allow you to pass, but only at the main entrance? This is the first time that I read this superstitious. There are superstitions to make you feel better, but superstitious that will make you silly is not good like this one, so will they allow you to pass on the window or their kitchen? people will think that you are hiding something or that you don't want to get caught by a CCTV, and passing through the main entrance is part of security protocol.
I have a friend who still has extraordinary beliefs about superstitious things like this and it is not uncommon for him to ask for numbers or advice from psychics to follow the lottery or what games to play in gambling.
Even though if in the end it is rationally thought that if the psychic knows where to bet and knows the numbers that come out in the lottery then surely he will do it for his own personal benefit. Logically but indeed because they put that aside and believe more in superstitious murana like this, there are so many people who do this just to convince themselves that the choices we make are right.

When it comes to gambling on which its a game of chance on which pertains or definitely relies with luck and there's no way that you can be able to make yourself that having those factors that will really be affecting out your luck rate. This is why people do become that too delusional on trying out to have these things to be applied on the moment that they will really be doing gambling on which this is really that indeed pointless no matter what angle we will really be trying to look into.

Assuming it's allowed to pass through another door aside the main entrance, I'd assume that the gambler has either allowed their habits to control their actions or they're on some spiritual assignment. Eitherways, that doesn't help them.. I sometimes try to understand how people with that kind of reasoning navigate through this space (world) in general... Quote

For sure!! You can't be that creepy in a public space and expect that people don't investigate you... For me, I hate it when someone creeps/tries to keep an eye on everything I do.. makes me feel straight uncomfortable and I'll have to leave that space... If only they understood that the lottery results ain't influenced/affected by some selfish belief, maybe we'll have a reduction in the number of people that poses gambling to be a scam? Maybe not.
