Roulette Roulette superstitions

[Niall49]

I was just wondering, what are some of the superstitions that some players hold in roulette and do you happen to have any that you hold yourself?

 

[Sevens]

If you mean lucky numbers and the like, I don't believe in those. About the only one I hold is that if I spot a biased wheel, that is lucky! It might only be a temporary pattern until they fix it, or someone moves a heavy drink, but it is a way to tip the odds for the evening.

I really don't have any superstitions when it comes to Roulette. Some days I may think one number is luckier than another, but that's as far as my superstition goes.

Many people believe that the results of a previous spin have a bearing on the result of the next spin. For instance, if the colour black has come up 7 times in a row, some people believe that betting on a red will be good idea.

The thinking behind this is that getting 8 black results in a row is unlikely. This whole thinking goes against the concept of independent events.

I don't play roulette, but I think the biggest superstition, or myth is what luckysam mentioned. A lot of people tend to think that the spin results can be
related, while every spin is an independent event and the odds are the same.

 

[Janina]

Luckysam and seena, yes you're right about some people having that superstition of the spin results being related to all the other spins before it. I have a friend who believes this.

From my experience of gambling in a casino I'd say that there have been times when I started losing consistently and it was as if I knew I had outstayed my welcome.
Now, I know that if I feel that I'm tired, or negative or I'm not enjoying being at the tables I must leave. Is this superstition? I don't think so. It's more like an inner knowing.
Usually the body knows directly when time is up, but it's the silly mind that says: "oh no, that's just imagination, let's look at it logically... if I do this and that ... it will be OK!..."
Always listen to your intuition. AND stay away from people with a negative energy about them. They can easily infect you with their negative thoughts. That goes for all walks of life, not just casinos.

As far as I know, superstitions don't work and they are just 'creative' ways that people try to use in an attempt to win. I hear a lot of people talk about spin results being interrelated but I'd call that more of a myth than a superstition.

I have never believed in superstitions ever since I started gambling. They can get into your head and ruin your play. I prefer to be as less distracted as possible when in the casino.
