Gambling and Superstitions

There are so many people who become superstitions when it comes to gambling. If you ever watched gambling movies or played casino games, then you must know about gambling superstitions. Sometimes, a player starts feeling bad about his chances to win and he thinks that this is not the good time to play and he actually loses the game. This happens with everyone even if you will play the game then at some point, you will feel confident and overwhelmed that you have a good day today and nobody is going to beat you in the game. There are different types of superstitions in the gambling game, most of them are related to luck and gambling. Some are termed as good luck signs and some are termed as bad luck superstition.

Different people have different believes. A friend of mine loves playing casino gambling games but at the same time he is superstition about gambling as well. Although, he is not superstition in his normal life but when it comes to gambling, he starts noticing very small things. Some people say that these signs are very helpful for them and they are always in benefit by following those signs but at the same time there are certain people who don’t believe in these signs.

Logically speaking, gambling superstitions have no effect on your game but they have an effect on your brain. If you are having a good luck while playing blackjack and suddenly the dealer is changed. If this new dealer is a rude person then you may leave the table considering that your luck is about to change and you may lose the game. Actually, this put pressure on your brain and you couldn’t concentrate. Leaving the table in such situation is a good idea because without concentration, you will not be able to win the game.

Why there are No Clocks in Casinos?

One myth that is unsolved about casinos is that there are not clocks in casino halls. Well, it is quite simple and easy to understand that these casino owners want you to stay in their casino as long as possible. Only way, they can make profit from you is to keep you engaged in casino gambling for a long time.

The more time you will spend in a casino, the more games you will play and definitely either you will win more money or lose your own money. Casino owners benefit from both ways. If you win then the losing one will be paying and casino will earn commission from it, and if the other person wins then you will lose and you will be paying, The casino will still be getting the same commission. Now you may have got an idea in your mind that why there are no clocks in casinos.

This is not only a marketing strategy but it is also a psychological game that they play with you. We all know that casino gambling is very interesting and if you are winning then you will never want to leave the table and even if you are losing then you will still want to give another try so that you may win something. In both ways, the benefit goes to the casino owners. There has to be a balance in life and for this, you should wear a wrist watch so that you can keep track of how much time you have spent in casino while playing casino table games or video games.
