There are hundreds of strange superstitions that casino players from around the world believe in. From not washing to staying away from dogs, these crazy rituals will have you scratching your head and asking: ‘What is up with humans?’
Dogs are bad luck for gamblers. Some Vegas casinos do not allow pets. If you are superstitious, you should go to a casino with animal-free floors.
Hunchbacks are considered to be cursed with bad luck. Many believe that hunchback gamblers are also destined for badluck in gambling themselves. The superstitions are based on a disability someone has no control over. They are from the outdated idea that someone who has a hunker has already lost the lottery of life by having ‘bad genes’
According to ancient Chinese superstition, reading books before betting is a bad idea. The word 'book' means 'lose' in Chinese. The superstitions apply to all books, from sci-fi to erotic novels. It's not the content of the books that matters, but the word itself.
An ancient tradition from India says that you should go to the casino as dirty as possible. The dirtier you are, the more likely you will be to disturb your opponents. The dirty money will make them leave the table and find another table to try and steal the pot at.
A broken heart is not meant to improve your chances of winning when you place a bet.
The Gambler's Fallacy is a superstition that people who are sad and lonely are more likely to have good fortune. The upside to this superstitious is that the casino might be a good distraction from the grief of a broken up relationship. If you win enough money, they might take you back.
