#4 Color Red: The color red is deemed lucky in many cultures. The color is believed to bring prosperity and wealth. Wearing red when you gamble is said to make you lucky. I also noticed that many casinos’ motif is red. Coincidence?

Mine is not wearing red, but I have a particular shirt that I feel gives me good luck if I put it on whenever I am gambling. It worked for me to some extent but got burnt when my younger one was pressing it. Sometimes, I will think that it was the shirt that made me lucky all those while, but it's a superstitious belief.

#3 Never count money/chips at the table: This is more of an etiquette and a way to protect yourselves but for some people they believe that doing this exudes pride which will invite bad luck and karma. Keep your money and count it when you get home.

Will I say this is for real, because I find out that back days when we gamble with whot, we don't count whatever amount we have on the table, but I feel the reason for that is for you not get distracted.

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.

We often say that following superstitions would not cost us anything but for some, it may cause them mental distress and anxiety. Anyway, it is still pretty interesting to learn about superstitions and their origins no matter what your purpose is. Either just to laugh at how ridiculous it is or to meticulously follow them when you gamble, I don’t know but I would love to discuss!

#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.

#2 Whistling: Whistling while playing said to invite bad luck. This belief originates from sailors whistling which they thought to invite stronger winds and storm.

#3 Never count money/chips at the table: This is more of an etiquette and a way to protect yourselves but for some people they believe that doing this exudes pride which will invite bad luck and karma. Keep your money and count it when you get home.

#4 Color Red: The color red is deemed lucky in many cultures. The color is believed to bring prosperity and wealth. Wearing red when you gamble is said to make you lucky. I also noticed that many casinos’ motif is red. 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?

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.

Pretty sure almost every person that gambles has heard of all of these, but let's be honest. Superstitions are not true. There is nothing that can make you win or make you lose in a game of chance except you and luck. Just my opinion.

Nowadays, gambling relates more than often with rituals rather than superstition. Rituals may be various and different for characters involved. I'm ^{for instance} always getting shaved before starting to gamble, wear the same suite and stainless bracelet around my wrist in the course of gambling, ^{some times take a drink to stay up}. In my view any superstition is an unappealing throwback to the days of profound ignorance.

Well, believe is a very strong thing and it's said that whatever you believe in works for you, but when it comes to gambling there are no charms or whatever that can alter what has already been programmed, it's either you are lucky or unlucky. The game can't change because of what you think you are doing, most people are trapped in this illusion and they think they have something that works for them not knowing that they are just lucky. Gambling constantly is a psychological cage,and once you get hooked you might start losing your mind and thinking all these things can work.

The most famous superstitions is dropped to the number 13 this because people around the world have already know and trust number 13 is a bad number even i heard there are some hotel didn't used that number because usually those hotels used 12A or 12B for their room number but if talking about superstitions i think it was dominated by Asian people and African people

This because the people who live in this region still believe superstitions can boosted their luck while gambling although this thing quite often is not working but those people always trust using superstitions while gambling is important thing for them and in my country there are some people who claim to have the ability to predict the outcomes of Lottery and those people says they have good accuracy but i personally didn't trust them

Superstitions don't work. They are like myths. Your belief that you are going to win doesn't mean you will win. This is something that is out of your control. A random and preprogrammed event. If superstitions work many a gambler would have become millionaires and make the gambling operators go out of business but that is not the case. As a matter of fact, there are even more gambling operators coming into the market to get a chunk of the money. They are like rituals. No one works. The only one that work is responsible gambling. Having a solid strategy. That is the only one that works. side that nothing. Come to think of it, let's say this superstition works but they are not effective because the gambling operators have a counter-superstition. Grin

Interesting thread, even though I don't have any such belief still it's exciting to read those why part.

I just want to mention something, rich people are more superstitious than others, not saying every rich people but most of them which is a curious factor because they became rich by being like these or they developed such attitude after becoming rich?

My superstition is just repeating exactly what I did when I won a bet.

They are "Pavadas+-=nonsense" I leave it in the original language but superstitions in the game are nothing more than a placebo effect.

When i'm at a live cash table, I didn't like it when someone stood behind me, it wasn't because of superstitions, it was because they could be passing signals to other players.

It's actually a funny topic, but I think you have to be more careful when these things are combined with scams, like someone wants to force you to do something like what I mentioned just because it's their companion amulet and)or anything else.

In the country where I live, people also love superstitions. And I am interested in all five superstitions about casinos that you have cited. However, I do not believe in any of them. And I understand that there may be other gamblers in the casino hall who believe in superstitions, so the opinion should be whistled in the moral hall or, for example, dissuade them.
But I think the sign about recounting chips is completely strange. It seems to me that every gambler should not lose touch with reality and know how much he currently has on his balance. Therefore, when I go to a physical casino again, I will calmly count my chips.

No, I don't follow superstitions in gambling because that is out from my minds. But I can accept if some people still using superstitions to their gambling activities and difficult to leave it even if they already losses their money. Superstitions will be there for some people so we must understand and not thinks too much as long as they don't disturb other people. Those who believes superstitions will use that every time they playing gambling because that is part of them. Some people I met say that they must wear a particular necklace or bracelet to helps them win but that will not makes them win a big money. That is their belief and we can not say anything for that thing so it is better to let them still use that way while we use rational thinks.

Superstition in another word means the fear of the unknown, and most of your examples tend to attack gamblers that visits local casinos and I don't do that, all I know is people need to accept what they can't change, they can only hope for a big win when gambling and gamble responsibly.

We don't have power over anything, we are humans not gods, all we can do is gamble in a manner that won't hurt us on the long run, we can't control luck we can only wish for it.

I live in Africa, particularly in Mozambique, and I must say that here in Africa, particularly in my country, it has been common for many people to resort to black magic in order to have money. Honestly, I personally do not believe in anything about black magic. I have always believed in science, but unfortunately I have to watch many cases of superstition in my country. There are cases of people who consulted these guys:

They took out loans and then went to play on Aviator and lost everything. Feeling hopeless, they committed suicide, and the saddest thing about all this is that the number of people who do this has increased. But the government of my country does not have the courage to criticize the guys who consider themselves to have the power to predict the future, give wealth to other people and even consider themselves to have the power to cure any disease. But this is all a lie. But people continue to believe in them.

So far I have never believed in superstition but maybe people in the past made it something that must be done first before you do something that is believed that the ritual can bring success or safety, but I think especially when we talk about gambling then it will not affect the results because after all especially in the type of casino game the dealer has arranged everything in such a way, in the sense that they are the ones who will always profit in the long run and not the gambler.

On the other hand I only believe that luck is something that comes naturally, for me luck is something that cannot be brought by doing one or two ways, meaning that the ritual that is done before you bet will not be able to invite luck, and even if luck comes I only believe that it comes not because I did the previous ritual, but it doesn't matter if you want to try to combine it.

#3, I knew it invited wind and always thought it was a good thing since it was so bloody hot in my area lol. When I learned about it I used to whistle all the time just to hope for that cooling breeze and I'd usually take it as a lucky sign.

For 5, I completely agree. Don't you think avoiding players who lost badly sneakily like that would invite more misfortune than avoiding them? Not to mention I don't think casinos even have multiple front entrances for the general user lol. Maybe big ones, but then again every entrance would've had some sort of bad luck already if that was actually true.

Personally I don't give a crap about it but if you talk to me about some superstitions before I play, I'd 100% try to follow it (or avoid if its bad) since it just sits on my mind bothering me when I play lol.

Some of them I first while others are very well-known superstitions.

One thing that I heard from the old people before that I cannot get out of my mind is the "washing the hands" before playing. They say having a dirty hand or a bad smelly hands could give you bad luck.
Of course, we don't if it's real or not because no one has proved that they suddenly got lucky after washing their hands. This kind of superstition is mostly for those who will be holding their cards for a long time. Poker, tong-its (a very well-known card game here in our country), and pusoy.

It is also interesting how superstitious people treat religion. After all, if you believe in God, then everything else will be considered paganism or something similar. I do not particularly delve into religion or omens and superstitions, but I can say that the more you believe that something can go wrong, the more what will come true. Therefore, stop engaging in ancient superstitions, and if you want to attract good luck, then tune yourself to positive energy, be grateful for everything you have, learn to love sincerely and do good, and then you will not be afraid of black cats that crossed your path, returning home because of something forgotten and the number 13.

I’m confused to this. Does the casino before doesn’t have exit? Casino I’ve been visit always have an exit which means you can exit on the entrance therefore it’s impossible to experienced this since losers pass through different door.

On the other hand, I’m doing this in online table games like blackjack. I frequently hunt for table that has players experiencing losing streak then replace them when they are done. I believe that winning streak will follow that which is working to me until now. Cheesy

It’s really fun to apply superstition or belief on gambling especially that there’s no way to define how luck works.

when it comes to certain believe systems that looks superstitious, it's part of the things we tend to look at and say "What you believe is what works out for you. as long as it's not a defined law that always happens wether you believe it or not, superstitious Believe is totally contextual and depends on wether the individual believes it or not.

Some persons attribute certain individuals to be lucky and so gambling while those folks are around would make them lucky. Others might still attribute there friends to bad luck and wouldn't want to gamble whenever thier friends is around. As long as you believe in certain thing, with time, it begins to look real and you might tend to believe that it's how it is meant to be. In the end, if you have identified a pattern that works well for you and helps you make better gambling decisions, wether it's superstitious or not, it doesn't matter much, what really matters is that you're winning more of your prediction through it.

On the time or moment that you do play gambling and you've been applying some strategies or supertitious that you've been doing and it turned out to be a win, then you will really be that definitely be having that kind of thinking that it do works. You will be using up this supertitions on the moment that you do play gambling and this is something that you will be doing into your future bets or gambling.
Just we do all know that this is something that could give out that kind of effect on how lucky we would be. All of those things are really just that coincidence on which on the time that you do gamble
but it did turned out that you are really that been forcing it to work then you are basically putting up yourself on such desperation on which this one will really be resulting into that losing even more.

You wont really be stopping not until the time those things will really be that working specially that luck is something that will really be that comes randomly and no matter how many charms, chants or
those kind of behavior or application of something but still it wont really be that giving out that effect towards someones luck factor. You will really be having that kind of positivity
because of some lucky hits on before.

The concept of superstition in any case including gambling in this day and age seems to be starting to be abandoned because indeed things like this will be a little contrary to those who have the concept of rationality in their brains.

Well, given what many people say on the forum, superstitions among gamblers are not that rare, even if they are statistically much lower than 300 years ago where the majority of the population was illiterate and had no way of understanding casino mathematics or how the house edge works.

Superstitions only provide a subjective certainty that has no correlation with what happens.

I have noticed that athletes are often superstitious, I think there are many superstitious people among players too, and this is due to the fact that people who are expecting some results (no matter sports or game results) they may even unconsciously begin to look for similarities in those cases when they managed to achieve victory. This is what creates for such people the conviction that this could have become part of their victory and maybe it does not work completely, but they will still try to repeat the same conditions the next time they gamble.

I guess everyone has it's own superstitious belief, or maybe this is just way to look for excuses or blame for being a positive or negative? Just like for gamblers, they were red colors when they play or avoid that unlucky 13, and then win big, so perhaps it just reinforced their belief on that. But what if the opposite happen, they were that color and then lose big money in a casino? So for me this just human nature, we look for something that will explain everything, even the smallest details. But we all know that in luck based games, it doesn't work that way. Everything is still base on pure luck and it can't be known before hand. So even if you carry all the superstitious belief, but you don't have that luck, then you will not win.
