Although superstition is real, but I think in gambling the result cannot be determined by superstition. Because after all, casino gambling has an algorithm that will make the machine work and also, in sports betting each team has its capacity to have good results. Moreover, when the mafia is involved in the sport, so the score for the final result can be arranged. Thus, although superstition is true or real, but I believe they use superstition for other purposes and also maybe superstition works for other purposes or activities but not for gambling.

Do you mean or believe that superstitions work for some local or traditional activities, where's in the casino it is void? Someone like myself, I know that superstitious believe are just old myths that has been pass down from ages and has never had any valid proof to be true but some people just end up believing it to be true because of the fear that it might happen. Nothing like that, "seen is believing " Unless I experience it, I can't agree.

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.

Very good, because superstitions are part of our daily lives and some are so strange that you can't help but wonder: who was the crazy person who invented this?

Going a little further, I've heard of other things too, such as...

Throwing salt over your left shoulder
This is a popular legend among the Turkish people. For them, all misfortune would be the fault of an evil angel who lives on our left shoulder and stays there trying to harm us. To avoid misfortune, the secret would be to blind him with a little salt in your eyes.

Crossing your fingers
Everyone knows this one, but do you know its origin? In places and times when being a Christian was dangerous, such as the Roman Empire, crossing your fingers was a way of referring to the cross and asking for the protection of Jesus Christ without being noticed. Little by little, the religious meaning was lost and the gesture began to be interpreted simply as a request for good luck.

Horseshoe
This is a very curious one and I had to do some research to remember the details, such as the name and the period... Legend has it that Saint Dunstan, who was a blacksmith and lived in the 10th century, received a customer one day asking for a horseshoe for himself (instead of for a horse). When taking the man's measurements, Dunstan realized that his foot was cracked and had only two toes: it was the devil himself.
To teach him a lesson, the blacksmith pressed the nails right into the middle of the devil's foot, causing so much pain that the devil never dared to go near a horseshoe. In the US and England, horseshoes should be worn with the open part facing upwards, so that good luck doesn't "fall".

And there are many more, but these are the ones I remember now.

Coming from a very superstitious country, I grew up getting familiar with a lot of them and as I grow older I just become even more aware particularly in the context of gambling. Now, I am not recommending everyone to follow superstitions as at the end of the day,

I know for sure that superstition has a vital part in every areas of life and it's always accompanied by beliefs, because superstition always have a way of turning ones mindset to another dimension and that's why in the quest of success one have to place a positive mindset inorder not to be distracted, so recommending superstition is entirely a no for me cause it might be used for wrong persuasion.

I have to say, I’m a great believer of these superstitions but I have never applied them in gambling, because I know for sure the outcome for gambling will remain unpredictable. So whether you’re lucky or not, if you are determined to gamble on that moment, just prepare yourself for a loss because that’s the only certain with gambling. Winning is never guaranteed in gambling no matter how good or lucky you are, but losses will always be predictable with gambling.
If you are such a great believer of the superstitious things generally, I would encourage you try it out with gambling, maybe you could be lucky and get more wins than you have before, I'm just saying though, me I don't really believe in it because sometimes I see it as just building in false hopes or probably presumptions and unrealistic believes but even with all of this, a few have been able to win off it.

#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?

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.

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.
As ridiculous as it may seem, they’ve gotten some gamblers to believe and that’s how in a bid to avoid, they subconsciously play by the wrong rules and end up making decisions that wouldn’t help their performance.

If not the entrance, where then do you come in through I wonder.

If I may,
Where is this front entrance for online casinos and sportsbook, absolutely proves that, there isn’t any mystery at play but, predictions, lucks and hard lucks and there isn’t any thing mystical about that.

If there’s an entrance, then definitely there’s also an exit. But I doubt if the casino security would let you enter at the exit and vice versa. So obviously this kind of superstition doesn’t make sense. Instead, you’ll only be a fool from the eyes of others if you insist doing it for your own sake. I might probably agree with unlucky 13 but not with this one.

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.

I have to say, I’m a great believer of these superstitions but I have never applied them in gambling, because I know for sure the outcome for gambling will remain unpredictable. So whether you’re lucky or not, if you are determined to gamble on that moment, just prepare yourself for a loss because that’s the only certain with gambling.

Although superstition is real, but I think in gambling the result cannot be determined by superstition. Because after all, casino gambling has an algorithm that will make the machine work and also, in sports betting each team has its capacity to have good results. Moreover, when the mafia is involved in the sport, so the score for the final result can be arranged. Thus, although superstition is true or real, but I believe they use superstition for other purposes and also maybe superstition works for other purposes or activities but not for gambling.

It can work for gambling but not as you're thinking, superstition will not be used to manipulating the outcome of the games. Superstition gives you confidence in the game that you're playing because you believe that when you do certain things that it'll favour you. Like when you don't share you bets that it increases your chances of winning hence when choosing the games you become more confident with your selection and it works for you more often than not.

Superstition can be used for all purpose but it takes you to believe in it for it to work for you. Some people call superstition faiths because you only have to believe without knowing if what you believe in is going to help you or not.

Superstition, black magic, voodoo etc are not real, don't get tricked by something like that.

Actually black magic and Voodoo is real because I know that the devil or let me use the word "Demons" Still has there dark powers where which if they find a human servant they can manifest through them. If you come to Africa, you will know more.

With that being said, I don't believe is some superstition bull shit having to interfere with ones gambling results.

It is just like saying whether the dark web does not exist. Asking a black hart or white hart hacker such kind of question will only amount to them laughing at you because it some much exists and things happen there which heavily influences our activities over the internet. This is same as superstitions or better put black magic. It so much exists everywhere around the world and everyone involved in such practices have their ways of involvements or the way in which they operate.

It was never been that proven that it was real but people cant really just that simply stop on trying out to apply things accordingly on the moment that they do gamble. They will really be having those kind of impressions that on the moment that they do gamble then they would really be assuming out that it could really be that something that will really be able to make themselves that could be able to pull some wins
on the moment or time that they will really be applying these kind of superstitions. Some do really even that get disappointed on the moment or time that they do really experience up some loses.
We do know that gambling is really just that a game of chance and never ever considered out to have those kind of sure strategies and other aspect that will really be able to alter out winning chances.

"IF YOU READ THIS, YOU MUST GIVE ME 1 BTC, OTHERWISE YOUR WHOLE LIFE WILL FULL OF BAD LUCK"

Let's see if someone believe in superstition or not. Roll Eyes Tongue
Hahaha Superstitions doesn't work that way mate, people believe something when they've seen or heard from a source they believe to be reliable that it actually works. For those who believe in those Voodoo or Black magic shits, it's because they've seen or experienced something that made them think of believe it's real. If there's no evidence, you can't just walk up to someone and tell him to send you 1 BTC or the rest of his days would be filled with bad luck, even if he believes in voodoo shits, some would ask you to show them proof of people that have or still suffering from  bad luck as a result of not sending you BTC, and if you're able to convince them beyond reasonable doubt, then maybe you may have a chance of them sending you 1 BTC  Cheesy

A certain part of the population of our planet believes in superstition, but no matter how one treats it to check the superstition empirically impossible. And most likely such people believe in superstitions because of wrongly constructed logical chains. I have always treated with a certain amount of humor in relation to people who believe that some signs or superstitions can help them win at gambling. I even had an acquaintance who ran around a black cat when it tried to cross his path. In my opinion, all this is very funny, but it does not affect the luck.

There are things that are really surprising and that may turn out to be true, but in the case of games of chance there has not been seen any case, in fact nobody is capable of doing something like that and documenting it to prove the contrary but there are things that are really strong and terrifying that do exist, I question them with energy , with spirit if they exist, and there are People who can or try to manipulate them, I think that that is one of the Reasons why evil exists because people who are not prepared for such a thing invoke very ugly Things and come to this world.

There are moments when after unsuccessful bets, the player begins to rely on different things that bring good luck and other superstitions, and completely by chance he can win and at the same time his faith in these things will be strengthened. Now the player will think that thanks to this he will start winning constantly, but in fact this is self-deception. Then the moment will come when he will throw away this thing because it does not bring winnings and will find another, in general it looks like a search for a new talisman that will constantly bring good luck, but it would be better for the player to understand how the game is arranged in all its subtleties and how the casino earns without superstitions, but only due to dry mathematics.
That happen to some gamblers who already used superstitions thing and makes them wants to try again. They think that can increase their chance to wins in the gambling games but that will not happen if they don't have luck. They must consider that winning in gambling will depends on their luck and not because of superstitions things.
If they win, they don't have to think that is because of their belief in superstitions thing but that is because of their luck comes in the right time.
Gambling is not related to the superstition but we can not argue with those who believe to superstitions and only let them doing that.

Haven't really that whistling attracts bad luck when gambling, it's quite funny that a lot of people have such superstitious believes. Superstitions is a myth, gambling is real life, they don't mix in any way. There are people that go as far as seeking good luck charms to win in gambling. Gambling is about taking a risk and getting rewarded or losing your stake. What you do cannot change the outcome of it, remember you are not the only one who's playing that particular casino game at that time, you can't alter anything to favour you, life doesn't really work that way.

Coming from a very superstitious country, I grew up getting familiar with a lot of them and as I grow older I just become even more aware particularly in the context of gambling. Now, I am not recommending everyone to follow superstitions as at the end of the day, that is all they are: superstitions.

Snip

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.

Honestly, I could never believe in things like that. Even in my own experience I have seen how certain religious beliefs in our family especially having ideas about luck and success in life if you are religious. But for me science and logic come first, and I just don’t think superstitions hold any real power or even holy books or lucky people.
It’s interesting to me how people around the world have different beliefs about luck like avoiding the number 13 or thinking red brings good fortune. But to me, it’s more entertaining to learn where these ideas came from than to actually follow them. For example, the idea of avoiding counting chips at the table? sure, it might be good etiquette but it doesn’t affect the outcome at all if you really think about it logically.

I get that some find comfort or fun in following these superstitions to avoid those bad feeling when they lose, but I think the pressure of bad luck could just add unnecessary stress for most of the time especially in gambling. At the end of the day the games outcome depends on probability and not on whether you walked through the right door or wore the right color. So, while I respect people who enjoy these traditions for me I will always stick to my scientific view and let the odds speak for themselves, not blaming anything else for my losses.

Coming from a very superstitious country, I grew up getting familiar with a lot of them and as I grow older, I just become even more aware particularly in the context of gender differences and policies that needs to be understood. Now, I am not recommending that these superstitions really work for everyone. But if you have a strong belief for something overtime you would see it manifesting in reality. Just like the great saying implies “whatever the mind can conceive the mind can produce.
We grew up to believe that walking under the laundry lines or ropes where clothes are been spread especially by a female the dignity of the man has been altered with. Or if a female crosses over a man during her monthly flow his dignity has been ripped off.
This said superstitions have caused a lot of families to have significant challenges with rules and regulations they have set for themselves and unable to meet up the demands.
Sometimes we say these superstitions do not have any effect on our lives but sometimes it does because you must have gotten entangled in the belief already. It takes time to adjust from these sorts of beliefs and progress past them.

Gamblers only want to win from gambling and that makes many gamblers doing many things that can help them to wins including using something that looks superstitions. They may not cares with that because their reason to playing gambling is just winning the games.
Maybe they are desperate because of their losses so they do that which can not still gives them winning. They must realize that it still difficult to win in gambling especially if they don't have luck.
But if they are lucky, they don't have to use or wear anything because they can win easily. But that winning can not happen too often.
