I recently got acquainted with a study where a company addressed the superstitions of people involved with sports betting.

Some of them were as follows :
1.

Quote

71% of Americans feel “the stakes of the game are even higher when watching with friends or family, and love to up-the-ante by betting on the game’s outcome or a player’s performance."

2. 62% of the fans blame themselves for the loss of their teams

3. 38% people feel that they are bad luck and of them 84% were asked to leave the room during a game.

4. 59% always made friendly bets with their family or friends and insisted that they pay back with something weird or funny like taking tab off the bar or getting weird haircuts

2/3rd of the fans admitted to being superstitious.

What do you think ? Are you superstitious as well while sports betting??

I think for the most part everyone is a little superstitious, I always think I'm gonna lose a game as soon as I bet on it. If I just say I would bet for X team but really don't I feel like those picks always hit lol. In the end, the game will end up how it ends up it doesn't matter what people do or think.

That number 3.

It's for real that I've got to experience that when we were younger, our uncles would tell us to go out while we're just watching with them. I don't know what the heck that belief is but for someone as a kid that would be blamed like that.

It's totally odd.

I believe in superstition but don't believe it will be effective when betting

maybe many don't but I've seen things beyond the human mind and it feels and looks very real

superstition on betting is not a new thing, it has been done for a long time now it's just a matter of how we react to it whether we want to believe 100% or not in the superstition

I remember how other sports bettors would relate other stuff like how the NBA players going to strip clubs would affect their performance the next game but I don't believe in those kind of stuff.

Imo, doing certain things to alter the outcome of your bet doesn't really work and they're more of a coincidence if anything. I myself like to do certain things as well like stop watching the game if the other team is winning by a huge margin and unfortunately comebacks rarely happen.

There has been a lot of studies regarding superstitions in the past, and if I remember correctly superstitions are a way to try to influence the outcome of something for which we have no power to affect, for example back in the day some people danced to try to make it rain, it is obvious there is no relation at all between dancing and raining, but at some point someone that wanted for some rain did so and it rained, and this created in his mind the association the gods wanted him to dance in order to rain, and if he danced every day in order to make it rain he could justify the days in which it did not worked by thinking he just did not dance to the standards of the gods, and when it did he justified this by thinking the gods were satisfied by the dancing.

Well the superstition that you have mentioned I cannot relate myself with them...but the one which I feel that when I placed the bet in any sports I want to watch it every second and dont want any one to disturb me at that time...and if some one comes I get really tensed and want to be alone to watch that match

Nope, it's sports betting, after all, it's rather easy to rely on past data and current statistics after all (and a bit of luck as well). I believe though that even teams believe in superstitions and they have their own stuff that they do to make themselves calm down together with praying and whatnot. Still, I like my games being backed by data, after all, it makes the hype all the more apparent I guess? Kind of curious though as to how other people use superstitions in betting, especially in sports betting. If it was gambling like slots or dice, it would be understandable or reasonable, but sports? Seems odd tbh.

i don't understand, why the superstitions you say in your threads none of which I have Cheesy

I myself feel that gambling, superstition and religion are different things and I never believed in that when I was in gambling.
I don't think the people in this research are wrong in believing this but I still stick to my point of view and I don't believe in it

Superstitious beliefs exist everywhere, so the same will be followed in gambling. I never follow superstitions, but I used to pray while gambling. This seems to be common with most of the gamblers.

Sometimes the superstitious beliefs can be enjoyed. Whenever there is a popular tournament around, there are like Black magician used to predict the outcome. They used to say team wearing so and so colour wins the tournament and so on. Sometimes there used to be some coincidence, and the same will be used as a way to make themselves popular.

Superstitions exist a lot in my locale and it has spread to sports and betting. I once heard a gambler in a sports betting house who said that he was always lucky at the end of every month whenever he places a bet (a superstition), another said that whenever he gives money to his spouse, he was always lucky with numbers in betting (another superstition), some after placing a bet, do not look back at the slip till after all the games are completed, a practice they say works for them (superstition).

Just like religion that gives us something to base and anchor our beliefs on, superstitions are like rituals that help you anchor your believe and raise your vibrations that the game you are about to place your bet on will work for you, and truth is, it sometime does because your superstitious act has helped you to align yourself properly to winning. I believe this is how superstition works.

I use to believe such when I was just teen. Crossing fingers everytime the other team is shooting the ball while I wish it won't go in the basket. Maybe the belief is because we always want our favorite team will win and what we jist hope the other team will not win even when its obvious that the other team has better skills.

Today, what I can only believe is that there is mafia involve pointing a gun to their love ones ordering to sell the game.

It is left to anybody that has a thing to do with football superstition and I don't think this word is in my vocabulary portfolio. We should all admit our mistake and try much to correct it not working in superstitious reasoning that may affect our ability to reason normally. Football betting is a game of luck even when there is 100% chances of a team winning, loses can sti be incurred.

Not in my vocabulary. Never I will associate any superstitious-related thing in my sports betting experience. There are gamblers who are like that. It's not totally wrong to be like that in the first place as we have different beliefs.

Different ways to maintain winning stats - either trust our won analysis by doing research or rely on superstition. It doesn't matter in the end.
