Each country has different beliefs, tradition and culture. Western and Eastern countries have big influences of their beliefs especially the number 13 and Feng Shui. Number 13 is an unlucky number for both Eastern and Western Countries especially Friday the 13th. According to European People, that number is a symbol of being traitor because Judas Iscariot is the 13th Apostle of and the one to betray Jesus Christ after the last supper. Number 4 is an unlucky number for Eastern countries because it is a symbol of death, of course they share beliefs in number 13. Feng Shui is a Chinese belief which studies the flow of good luck and bad luck. The are also Feng Shui charms to push away all the bad luck. The main elements of Feng Shui are Wind and Water.
There are many several beliefs of how to be a lucky in gambling game such as the following:
* If you are hungry when you playing any kind of gambling, you will win
* There is an exact time when luck is in the gambling game
* Putting a coin inside your shoes will bring luck in gambling
* Wearing any kind of accessories of Feng Shui charms makes you a lucky gambler
* Wearing red or black shirt increases your chances of winning in a gambling game
Many gamblers practice these beliefs to become a lucky gambler. Sometimes they are not working in any gambling game, especially in poker because of the involvement of skill and strategies in this card game. Sometime the unlucky number can become a lucky number in a game, or the other way around. It means the beliefs in casino game are not consistent unlike the taboos and religion beliefs.
Some people study and calculate the chances of winning called probability. There are many examples of this probability situation:
* In bingo: the more players are playing the game, the less chance of winning a jackpot prize you have, and the more cards you play, the more chances to win a jackpot prize
* In roulette: 1/36 is chances of winning for each spin
* In lottery: if you are continuing to keep your 6 combination number you need to wait within 46 years to win a jackpot prize
* Lucky Pick in Lottery is not a lucky number, it is randomized pick of 6 possible combination number
It is up to you if you want to believe in Casino beliefs or the probability of winning. For me these two are different, why? Casino beliefs make an encouragement to play casino games while probability makes a negative perception and let people think it is hard to win, thus, they are discouraged to play.
