Topic: Sports betting superstitions. - page 4. (Read 547 times)

I have come across that thread and it is about Superstitions of gamblers and also I have my own experience from a friend that has this rituals before going to casino houses .
and for me? it is not that trustworthy because most of the time he goes home as a loser than winner.
so with that what is the sense of this beliefs if it cannot even make a gambler richer?

Superstition and gambling has actually been going on for centuries, whether we admit it or not, but the belief in superstition is actually very attached to gamblers and even many of them may hold special rituals before gambling all this time.
But for me personally, gambling is nothing more than chance and luck, so sometimes I personally prefer to do research both from H2H, statistics, team performance, and the condition of the two teams that will compete before making a decision to bet

Wait, are you talking about (superstition / unseen) magic, myth or the like, honestly I don't believe in such a thing, even though it exists, we know demons were created earlier than humans.

My gut feeling is that in the world of team football, training, strategy, coaches etc., that's the most important thing to determine if the club is successful, If the problems I mentioned above flared up within the club, it would be fatal, basically: playing unprofessionally and selfishly, meaning : feel I'm great, that's what happens now in the game of football.

Another reason, if the football club has been controlled by the international mafia and is involved in gambling (bribes) everything will fall apart.

So, superstition/unseen doesn't apply on the soccer field, logic, why at this time the greatest club of the past lost and associated with superstition, why it wasn't done in the first place, if it should, means that superstition doesn't exist.

What has happened so far in football matches, in my opinion, is purely caused by factors such as coaches, players/teams or corrupt mafia, not superstition/unseen.

Superstitions are just mere beliefs of a person's mind. It is just a traditional practice and some sort of state of supernatural phenomenon and its manifestation on to someone's life and decision making. But in reality, this is just pure cultural and traditional beliefs that most people grown up with. Hence, it is really common that some people are used to being superstitious most especially if they are attending some event or making a decision. It is even included in our daily lives because the older generations can't let go of it yet, but I don't really mind as long as it don't interfere with significant matters in our life.

Personally, I'm not really a superstitious person. I have those kind of times too, but not as frequent as other people believe in it. I just become superstitious on very rare occasions and mostly it's just whenever I feel like having a good time. I do not base my decisions most especially the heavy ones on superstitions because I act in accordance to what I think is right and to how I strategized. It's just a matter of preference really if you will base your gambling decisions in superstitions. Although just do it at your own risk because superstitions aren't backed up by any scientific reasoning or probability. It would just be pure chance if the moment you bet and you won happened at the same time you believed and did superstitious ritual and the likes. I still suggest the most reliable way of gambling which is to strategize and be knowledgeable of the game before betting. That way, you know it to yourself that you made an effort to win and did not just put your hopes up to baseless assumption of winning by doing certain things.

I kinda laugh at this one because this is actually true and still happening which I kinda think it's really childish.
We only thought a person is a jinx maybe because he picked a team contrary to what you have placed your bet on.
Sometimes, we get mad at this person because we think countering our choices brings bad luck to your bet.
It's not actually bad luck, you're just mad you didn't take his suggestion.
You won't usually feel the person is bad luck if he's not done anything since the beginning he's watching with you.

All the usual nonsense.

But this is what makes betting fun, right? The fact that you feel like you have some sort of control over the outcomes, when in reality nothing is further from the truth.

If you are a serious gambler you should play with rationality and reject all of the things mentioned in the OP.

1. Because they know that the winner will come to one of them, they do not mind if their family gets the money to increase the stake.
2. They blame themselves because they use too big money to bet on their team without thinking that they can not always win against the other team.
3. They feel bad luck but that will not let them stay away from gambling instead of still placing their bet.
4. It is exciting if we bet with our family because that can kill the boring time, especially we can not go outside freely. So placing the bet on sports betting can give us fun to our family.

It is normal to see fans being superstitious because that is happening in some areas and we can not blame them and say that gambling is not related to superstition. I do not believe in superstition while sports betting but I believe that superstition things such as ghosts and other types exist among us because they have their own dimensions.

I think because it's already 2021 and people are not very much connected to the spiritual world, superstitious beliefs I guess it's not for us anymore but the survey tells something else. I wonder who they are asking. 

We do find traces of superstitious beliefs though just like the team praying before they start the game. Maybe the rituals are not that effective anymore but we do have prayers for players and not for the gamblers.

No, I am not at all superstitious. I don't have any superstition in sports betting and in other forms of gambling as well. I don't practice any of those weird superstitions before I bet on anything and during the game or actual gambling itself.

There is really no connection whatsoever between the result of say a football match and your bet. And for all we know both sides of the teams might have superstitious bettors. So either of them will have to admit that superstitions are not effective.

Situations neither win or lose would really taught you on how reality works and on the time that you are already done on everything then you would really be starting to believe that it doesnt work and its up on someones mindset whether they do continue on what they do believe or would simply skip out because they do know that it is just delusional that praying would really be that relevant when it comes to gambling.Luck isnt something that can be influenced with these things therefore you should really act and do sorts of things to be sensible and wont really believing that these things does exist.

Personally I haven't tried to be superstitious, but I've seen people believing in it. Not into gambling, but in day to day life. When one is going outside for some business or some sort of good things they used to wear some specific colored dress believing in the colour code and not on their act.

In local while playing cards if someone has got upper hands he'll never leave the place. If that particular person leaves, to sit in that particular place lot is picked.

Yeah we do have lots and people do keep on making new topic in related to this which had been discussed out for how many times already but well you cant really stop people on making new ones which you cant really be stopped.

Superstitions turns out to be a common behavior for some gamblers because they had get used to beleive into something specially when they had won on the time they had prayed.
This behavior cant really be stopped but well its their decision whether they do push to believe or would just leave it alone.

Do you remember there was some topic in the past that explained about the people praying before making bets, I think there's a possibility it might work. We don't know everything about this universe and maybe there are beings that can help you fulfill your materialistic fulfillment.

My personal sports superstitions are based moreso on observations.

• If a team in the NFL is playing conservatively, I have a superstition they're playing to avoid injuries or avoid peaking too early in the season
• If an athlete in mixed martial arts has bad cardio, I have a superstition they're using cocaine, steroids or having trouble finding motivation to train properly
• If an athlete in MMA has good cardio, I have a superstition they're eating healthier than average and doing following certain training formats which contribute to it
• If NFL players on the field, look whipped for no obvious reason, I have a superstition that groupies sapped all their energy

Superstitions are generalizations used in an effort to explain perceived patterns.

The basic and essential process is virtually identical to the early hypothesis stage of empirical science.

Superstition trends towards having a negative stigma attached, due to low levels of energy commonly invest into it.

I guess some of these are connected to gambling, but things like the outcome of #3 seem a bit harsh really - why would so many people be so unkind as to tell friends or family to leave the room? Are they really that much of a downer to be around that you'd go to such lengths? I definitely see a lot of betting taking place between friends, like whoever loses at golf has to buy the round of drinks at the bar and I think that's a long standing tradition in most games. You'll also often see football fans wearing their lucky shirts or whatever other piece of clothing game after game, although they clearly have no impact on the outcome of the game, whatever gives people extra hope is always a good thing.

believe in superstition when betting is stupid, superstition will not change the final result created especially in sports betting. I always tell my friends not to be superstitious when gambling, analyzing before betting is the wisest thing to do.

I don't believe in such superstitions and I'm not familiar with people who have these thoughts, so it's hard for me to judge. I've just seen behaviors like that in some movies' characters, what was really strange to imagine people could act like that in real life, especially the part they think by watching games with relatives the winning chances of the team they bet on increases considerably.

Maybe this kind of gambler believes good moments with pleasant people generate positive energies that will also influence their teams positively, since that is what they most desire at the currently moment, however, it's not the fans who are playing the game, it's the players. So the players' mindset, strategy and physical preparation are always the most important and decisive factors here.

I just want to laugh remembering my gambling experience in the past believing in mystical or rather in dreams. Yes, that was my experience when I was still very fond of buying lotteries after coming home from college where people who were older than me asked about their friends' dreams. I try to get 2-3 lucky numbers, sometimes I can win but often lose. It make me laugh now because it has absolutely nothing to do with betting and winning something.

Right now I'm just thinking about not doing it again because in the end it's a thing that doesn't increase anything to win the bet. I prefer betting on my favorite team than having to be superstitious when it come to sports betting.

There are people that are really superstitious with the stuffs they are doing.
And sports betting is no different for them. They just basically insert some beliefs what they thought may affect the outcome of their results.
But if you are matter-of-fact sportsbettor, you will believe more on the stats and the performance history on what may possibly affect the outcome.
There are several sportsbettors that are making this hobby as their source of living, because they can.
And you will noticed that they are very familiar with the specific sports they are into, not being on the superstitious side.

I dont really believe on divine things when it comes to gambling because everything do matters with chance and other external things has nothing to do with it which simply means that
you shouldnt mind about it because it would really just push you on become too desperate on things which means it would be on high chance you would really be comitting mistakes which
you should really avoid it on the first place. PLace bets according into your interest and what makes you entertained and dont hope that much that you could really
make big money out of this.Its not really intended for being that way.
