what I have realized that experienced players believe in superstitions when compared to newbies. I have shared the table with some people doing various stuff in order to get luck on their side. Doubling the bet after 3 consecutive losses, tapping ring on the table for good luck, not playing on 13th and also I consider Beginner's luck as one superstition that I am sure most of us have experienced ourselves.
Yes, those things that you've mentioned are common superstitions for gamblers. The beginners luck and the 13th.
I also believe in beginners luck because it happened many times to the people that I know but not with crypto gambling. But with 13th, I don't believe on it although this is a very popular belief that can endanger someone and eventually put himself into a very unlucky situation.

Let me preface this by stating the following
When betting on Bustabit for example, I know :
  • It's 100% provably fair and can't be manipulated
  • Each round is independent of the adjacent ones, no previous results dictate the next
  • There's no math to keep the 1.975x average in place, if it's 10 games under 1.5x in a row, this doesn't change the likely-hood of the next being over 2x

That being said, I think it's fun to humor myself and entertaining to play into superstitions.
i.e if it's 10 red in a row, I'm usually more likely to increase my bets as the gamblers fallacy plays out, although I'm completely aware of the math behind it.

I think superstitions are fun to have and entertaining to laugh about, it makes it more interesting.
Some gamblers treat them in a serious way, however I think that's the wrong approach to superstition when gambling overall.

What are common things you're superstitious about when gambling?

gambling with superstitous is indeed fun but not fun to laugh about for a person that is a believer on it  . it gives extra excitement and contentment on the game especially if you hit your targeted payouts or goals but to those person that didnt believe  it then they are only making fun of it or on those people that use superstious belief when gambling  .  i think the common thing that i do related to superstitious is that i pray to god that i win . sometimes it work but sometimes it didnt .
Yes you will get bullied for doing such things. Cheesy

But the fact is it is not going to change anything from the outcome so everyone have their own belief some try praying God and some has their own belief but anyway it won't work.
Gambling, something that purely need luck. But it is very funny if know each people believe in superstitions. But as long their superstition not disturb or harms other people, nothing wrong with it. But always remember if no luck, usually it is really hard to win in gambling games. Maybe skill will help too, but superstition can't be something that to be main factor of winning in gambling.
There are some skills involved games where we can bet but this also doesn't ensure our win even if we are highly knowledgeable about that game so one should play for fun and keep the superstitious thing also as a fun then there will be double benefits while gambling. Cheesy

When I am going to a gambling session or playing games outside, I am not entering in the main entrance because some says that is unlucky because it is just like playing in a honest point in which you don't have any card inside your sleeves, so I prefer to enter in the exit gate to avoid this kind of superstitious belief, anyway gambling is based on strategies and luck also and you are the one who are making your own luck.

We all have our own superstition, it will not do harm if we have one from all our actions, it is part of our belief that powerful hands are behind  on all the things that we do, these superstitions sometimes has an impact on the mind of the believer, mine is a mantra I will always believe that I will win and sometimes wearing a specific color can help its part of our lives and these superstitions have been to us from generation.

Actually superstition beliefs harm us lol. Like, as we perform those actions, we kind of acquire a false sense of security that we will win. And it makes us vulnerable and we are destined to lose more because we don't play with caution rather play without risk.

This may be people perception or their belief that doing certain thing in a certain way helps them. Have seen quite a few people doing it as they think this help them to win or luck goes by their side of they do it in A similar fashion .

Just to add, it hugely helps me in gambling whenever I wear my lucky shirt. I mean, I try my best not to gamble whenever I am not wearing it. Last thing, before I gamble I make it sure that before I leave the house, I will toss a coin and the result will become my fate in the next few hours....
Everyone has such happy things that once brought good luck. But I noticed that it’s not necessary at all, that these things will bring us luck a second time. This is indeed superstition that cannot be explained. But we definitely need to believe in something.
And that 8 believing that we are going to win?😂😂😂

Anyway for me?based on experience?happy things brings luck most of the time but not at all,because it’s more appropriate to take it serious and focus than to keep being happy and you’re not concentrating in your bettings

I mean, people see superstitions as useless but if it helps the individual calm or support them in making decisions then I would not judge them. At the end of the day, gambling depends on one's luck and people are free to think on what they think will help them win.
Really? You actually mean the bolded words?
If you can't gamble till wear your lucky shirt then I think you are placing too much attachment on it.
Yes, I know, superstition and gamble can work in hand but when one do it too much, it can indirectly start affecting it.
The gambler himself gets affected indirectly. For some reason this too can cause big loss. Believing on the shirts and toss user goes for big volume betting. Here when the superstition fails, the loss is big. From my learning superstitious belief can be a part of the gambling while data collection regarding the games as well tricks are the one that gets win.

I would always try to keep my lucky coin on my hand or infront of me when I am gambling.
And by the way I consider a coin lucky if I have pick it up at street in short it is a coin that someone loss .
I just think that it would bring more luck if I have it on me when I am gambling on or offline.

I personally dont believe in superstitions because i play for fun and leave it on luck but i have seen my fellow gamblers around me believe in some and i dont judge them at all. One of friend dont play on Friday 13th, other dont play on the day if he had an argument earlier. If you consider Beginner's luck as one then i have seen lot of it happening in front of me & has happened with myself too !

I often gamble but I never ever follow any pattern of any supertitions I known.  Since I know gambling is a game of chance, there is nothing that can affect it or whatsoever.  For me, why would I bother to follow certain superstitius rule, it only beats the fun out of it.  Beside, it only make you look uncool and most of the part crazy.
Probably you gamble just for fun and are not using it as a mainstream source of money so these things do not bother you. But for those who are investing really good money in gambling, they are really conscious about superstitious signs when they are gambling. Gambling is a fun game and I believe everyone shall treat it like that instead of putting all energies into it. Just gamble with small money.

I think that will be only a few gamblers who believe in that thing. For those who are investing in gambling, they will not depend on that thing, but they will search for more information so they can know which gambling websites or casino that can give them the profit. Superstitious will not help them to win the game because gambling is not depending on that thing. Gambling will depend on the luck so people will search for when their luck comes.

For me, it depends on the person if they believe about the superstitions in gambling. But the common superstitions that I believe is the beginner's luck that I usually try in any games. Also, I believe in that color of the t-shirt that you wear or lucky clothes. The other things are numbers/ lucky number, especially in the lottery, the position that you are sitting, especially in poker/card games. But at the end of the day, it's your beliefs just entertain your self and have fun. Smiley

Just to add, it hugely helps me in gambling whenever I wear my lucky shirt. I mean, I try my best not to gamble whenever I am not wearing it. Last thing, before I gamble I make it sure that before I leave the house, I will toss a coin and the result will become my fate in the next few hours.

I have heard many thing about the lucky shirts that use as superstitious material but tossing a coin!?how was that?never heard of seen such thing though in my local gambling there are some kind of game in which people are tossing 3 coins and if 3 sides comes out then that’s the winner

Here in my place there are too many superstitious belief that in practice but that tossing before going to gambling place is new to me.

Anyway did it brings you winning mostly?or just luck that makes you win?

It's all the same. Lucky shirt, tossing a coin, amulets, routines. Superstition has always been a part of gambling since the outcomes of most these games don't depend on anything but luck. Especially with old school gamblers. Though i don't there's as much superstition in online gambling nowadays. Personally, i'm a skeptic when it comes to these lucky routines and charms.

Do you mean superstitious beliefs or practices? I guess maybe I was doing it sometimes lol. but it is just for fun, Sometimes on dice, I was placing my lucky number or birthday number or any related number to me on prediction number and roll the dice sometimes I won sometimes not. It really does not change the odds but it is fun winning with your favorite numbers.

Then I guess this is not superstition at all. You are simply choosing a number or numbers that is or are significant to you. There is nothing wrong with that. Gambling is for fun and you are only adding another layer of fun to it. And you being fully aware that these numbers do not have anything to do with the odds and the results is a proof that you are not superstitious at all in doing this.

Superstition involves belief or conviction of something that is otherwise not supported in any way by science or logic.
