It is not 100% related to gambling but it is still a superstition.
When I was younger and whenever I watched my favorite team I had to wear the team jersey and scarf. Even during the summer. I believed that If I didn't my team would lose Roll Eyes

Superstitions are a frequent occurrence in sports. For those that follow Ice hockey they are probably aware of the fact that ice hockey players don't shave during the playoffs. Doing so will jinx the team and they might lose.

@Darker45 - I'm also once gambler who fall for that kind of believed, as long as I'm in a winning streak, I I don't take a bath until I break my run. Grin

Oh, my! Really? How did you start falling on that obviously absurd superstition? And how many days was your longest streak?

This would be a total disaster if you are a lucky man. What if you are having a winning streak of 5-7 days in poker, which is totally possible? It will not only be the other players in your table that will be distracted in their games because of your odor but the whole poker room. Unfortunately, that would be your edge. Cry

Gamblers are one of the most superstitious person you can find in this planet. Lots of them, from the clothing to picking numbers to bet.

That's gross! HAHAHA! Just heard that honestly. I wonder now if it's really effective. 🤔

I only have one superstition, if my palm is itching then probably that's the best time to bet. It work sometimes but often not but it's fine, I know it just a belief and doesn't have enough basis.

If to play dice games, usually i click on what i like to click. But it all ended with lose. Grin

. Actually i don't have any superstition in gambling. Not like other people maybe play with special clothes or maybe clothes that they like, click high low how many times. I just rely on luck.

Luck + belief is good. Especially when you started to believe in some superstitions, your gambling life will become more exciting for sure.
I don't think also if you are believing in some supertitions, your risk will also decrease? Since for sure you will become more conservative if you are doing some superstitions act.

You can call it intuition,. Before the start of any game I know I will lose it. Still I will play it and lose a couple of games before I shift to the next. Sometimes I think this might be the fear of losing which translates to an intuition.

Oh that’s the first time I heard this kind of intuition that need to become negative first ?never do this if you want to win because this attracts negative vibes and my bring you losing

Always think positive and keep having fan.never to serious when gambling because the more you focus the lesser you become a winner ,this is my strategy and it sometimes bring me fortune though the risk of gambling is always there

There was this superstition that I believed so much when I initially started gambling which was that I should stay clear of in any sexual act moment before I want to gamble, I was amazed when I knew it was just a mere superstitions

I have tons of superstitions since it sometimes effective, sometimes not . If in betting Which ever I see first , I bet on it for example in number or in colors, I also do beginner's luck in new games or not so common games for me and the famous cross finger. It all depends if we believe in it. But gambling is pure luck, so if we won , we must learn also when to stop. I usually set number of rounds or amount till I quit the game.

I cannot mention even a single superstition that I strictly believe in when gambling, neither in dice nor in sports betting, poker and other card games, cockfighting, lottery, etc. I can only remember when I was younger and I really had a lot of wild dreams and plans that I badly needed to become rich. Every time I buy a lottery ticket, I would keep it inside the pages of the bible. This is not peculiar to me for sure. I know a lot of people are also doing this. I also do this to my raffle coupons.

Well, superstitions as they are, they did not make me win at all.

I am convinced that any superstition negatively affects a person and his potential. If a gambler has a certain amount of luck and flair in gambling, then any superstition will reduce their actions. Based on this, only an indifferent person to external factors and any prejudices has a much greater chance of getting a good result.

It may be true, but superstition, just like opium and religion, creates a dreamy state in them. And in this state, they have strong hope, belief, positive expectations, and so on. I have seen how gamblers are changed a lot by their superstitions and the very positive feeling of luck that springs forth. Superstitions are giving them a very strong conviction of winning.

This brings back memories of the great Efren “Bata” Reyes, also called as the “The Magician”. "He holds the record of being the first non-American winner of the US Open Nine Ball Championship and the first player in WPA history to win world championships in two different disciplines."^[1] He was so superstitious that he said to avoid taking a bath 3 days before his match. I don't know if he is betting for himself in his every match but a lot of people are betting for him.

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger

I just believe the superstitions are not real because they make no sense.
Nor is there anything like bad/good luck and karma. There are only mathematics... if the algorithm is created in such a way to make you lose 55% of the time, then you have 55% chances to lose. That's all there's to it!

I created a thread about Gambling and Superstition years ago, I guess everyone should scan the discussions there.

Checking your thread is enough to answer this topic because you earned at least 48 pages for more than 1 year of opening that thread so for me this one is just a spam to wait fo another 48 pages before locking 😂

But to add something specially on line game, house-edge will really caught up on you regardless it's provably fair or not. So if you had a good streaks and runs then get out, don't chase and don't be greedy!!!

It is easy to say this if we are not on winning streaks but if does?surely we will neglect following this instead we will continue and make everything to add winnings until all is gone and we will go home as loser

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.

Isn’t it a little bit ridiculous that in this modern era we all still living with many superstitions?
But what should we do, I think it is something that comes to our behaviour from generation to generation like relating a specific colour to our winning. Well I think all these winnings and failures are a part of our lives and sometimes it depend on luck and sometimes on hard-work but relating it with some superstitions does not make sense.

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

Dont laugh at me because of I am trusting some superstitious beliefs when and before I gamble and also I also believe in luck. Before I go to my gambling session where I can bet and play a game their are some rules that I want to be done for example, I must see some lucky color before taking a bath if not then I will not go to the gambling session or casinos. Another one is when I saw a black cat then I would not play for that day because those superstitious are not accurate but sometimes it is real. We will not loss anything if we just follow right? So don't laugh at me because of that. We have some differences in playing on how to win and difference on the technique that we are using.

Some people can be like what you did. I already met one person, and we often talk about gambling and superstitions. He said that if he wants to go to the lottery place, he cross away from one traffic light into another traffic light with the same color 2 times, which means he will not get the win. But if he meets the green light, he will feel confident because that means he can win and you know what, he really wins the game. I don't know how that could happen to him, whether it's coincidence or that is true.

I usually cross my finger whenever I gamble but I don't know if you could call this superstitious but whenever I gamble I always put my other feet on the chair and rest my head on my knee.
