Gamblers are known to be the most superstitious people.
Gambling involves a lot of chances and luck and it is
thus understandable that players will want to do almost
anything that they can in order to increase their
chances at winning the game. Almost every other gambler
has some or the other lucky charms which
he/she will always carry with them whenever they are
going to a casino.
People look for some signs at casinos while they are
playing a particular game in order to decide on their
next move. For example, if a person is playing roulette
and another person in a red colored clothing item comes
and stands next to him/her then it is a sign that the
player should place a bet on red. There are several
superstitions that exist in the world of gambling, some
of which have been passed on through generations based
on the experiences of the players.
While it cannot really be said if these lucky charms or
superstitions actually work or not, the fact is that
players who believe in them will always stick to them no
matter what. There are several practices which can be
seen in casinos being practiced by players:
- blowing on the dice before rolling them
- saying a prayer
- keeping your fingers crossed etc
They are believed to attract luck to a player.
There are many beliefs that players have about what items
will bring them good luck and what actions will be
beneficial to them. Given below is a list of a few
superstitions which are believed to bring good luck to
the player while gambling.
