Whether players agree to it or not, they have certain superstitions that they follow while playing different kinds of games or when engaging in sports betting.
Some people blow on the dice before rolling it while others do not sit cross legged while playing blackjack. On one hand, some players do not believe in all of these factors, while certain others take every superstition very seriously.
The need for believing in these superstitions arises from the dire necessity of walking out of the casino with the money you anticipated to win. Following superstitions often gives the players confidence and hope that they will win rounds after rounds in their favourite games.
Many players consider one or more things good or bad luck. They carefully place occurrences in one or more categories and pray that they win every game that they sit for. Apart from the personal skills and capabilities of winning a game, a person might also want some hope in the form of superstition.
Some of the leading types of superstitions on sports betting in India are outlined in the following list:
Number 13
Whether it is the gambling world or the rest of the world, the number 13 is considered unlucky. You can see in hotels, apartments and even in office buildings that people avoid having the 13th floor. If people want to do something auspicious, they leave this number out of the mix in order to avoid any mishappenings. Another example is that bettors do not bet on horses that are wearing the number 13 batch and believe that the horse shall never win. Basically, the number is seen unlucky and never used.
No discussions
Majority of the sports bettors do not discuss the fact that they participate in sports betting at all. It is believed that if you talk about your adventures in the field of sports betting, the reaction may not be great and the opposite emotions are received from the people. It is also believed that after placing a bet, if you tell anyone then you will never win the bet. So, no matter what, sports bettors never discuss the bets that they have made.
Lucky charms
Have you seen Salman Khan wearing a blue rock bracelet all the time? Well, that is a lucky charm for him. In the same way, there are several bettors in the world who carry lucky charms with themselves in order to make sure they win the bet. Although they have the ability to make predictions or win a game, having the lucky charm with them gives them an added layer of confidence about winning the game. It is also derived from heavy attachments to some belongings that people might have. Pencils, beads, chains etc. are some more examples.
