Gambling Superstitions
Gamblers are some of the most superstitious people in the
world. You can spot a seasoned gambler by the way he/she acts. Take note of
these gambling superstitions.
- When
a gambler sits upright, picks up his cards and breathes on them, you can
make a safe bet that he is a seasoned gambler. Why? Because breathing on
the cards is a sign that he believes that breath is the essence of the
soul, though this may be an unconscious belief and he may not realize it.
- Seasoned
gamblers never cross anything, not even their ankles.
- A
seasoned gambler always picks up his cards in the same way. There is very
seldom, if ever, any variation.
- Seasoned
gamblers often give the dice a symbolic rub before rolling them.
- Experienced
gamblers will not play cards on a bare table. They want something, such as
a tablecloth, covering it. Casinos cover tables with felt; most often
green felt. Green is the color of prosperity.
- Many
seasoned gamblers will not play cards before 6pm on Friday evenings.
- If
you want a man to win at gambling, stick a pin in his coat.
- It
was once believed that playing cards with a cross eyed man was a sure sign
the person was going to lose.
- If a
man lends money to someone during a card game, he is certain to lose.
- Dropping
a card on the floor is a bad omen.
- Singing
while gambling is a sure sign of a loss.
- At
Monte Carlo, it is believed that after a suicide players will win and the
bank will lose.
