There was this one time I asked my friend Cynthia if she wanted to take a trip to the casino with me. She didn't hesitate when she told me that she did not want to go because she did not have a period on that day! I was wondering whether she was taking things a little too far.

Are you superstitious? Do you believe in any Gambling superstitions? Well, there are many speculations about the origins of these common superstitions, but without any logical explanations, they remain just those superstitions that have successfully been passed down from generation to generation.

When gambling at an Online Casino or land based casino, people often believe that can increase their chances of winning through superstitious practices, even when facing losing streaks. The following are a few of the common superstitious beliefs and rituals among gamblers!

1) A broken mirror is considered to be a bad omen in the gambling world. So if you are getting ready to go to a casino, but a mirror nears you breaks into pieces, it is advisable that you postpone your gambling session.

2) If you are already on your way to the casino and a black cat crosses your path, superstitious players would advice you to go home instead. A black cat is believed to bring bad luck, even not in the gambling world.

3) There is also a belief that a dog which is near the gambling table is bad luck, so if you are gambling at a friend's house, make sure that his dogs stay away from the gambling table you are playing at.

4) Some players have a favorite color that they will wear while they gamble to make them feel lucky. If you are going to the casino to play, wear more cheerful colors like red and try not to also wear black. Black is the color for mourning, and it attracts bad vibes. You do not want bad vibes on your gambling game, do you? Oh yeah, try to wear red underwear too.

5) The Asian gamblers believe yellow is unlucky. A Casino in Sydney had to change the color of its bus from yellow because the Asian customers would not sit in it. Many Asian online players do not use the yellow chip to wager or change the deck if it has a yellow color.

6) Never count your money while you are playing is a common belief. According to the Chinese, it is not good luck if you are counting your money right at the gambling table. This belief is also observed in the Philippines, where people will warn you right away if you are counting your gambling money at the table.

7) Chinese are also particular about not touching their shoulders if they are gambling. It is believed to bring bad luck on the person whose shoulders were touched.

8) Many gamblers feel that it is unlucky to enter a casino through the main entrance. If you see a Chinese entering the casino at an entrance other than the main one, do not be surprised.

9) The Chinese also avoid getting casino hotel rooms with the number 4 in it. The number 4 signifies death in Chinese, and consequently, also means bad luck.

10) That brings up another superstition that singing or whistling while you are gambling is bad luck. If someone is whistling past the graveyard, they are trying to remain cheerful in difficult circumstances so perhaps this has carried over into the thinking that it should not be done while gambling.

11) Don't cross your legs while playing or you will “cross out your good luck”. This could explain why they make those seats so close to the slot machines. I never have room to cross my legs even if I was not afraid that it would bring me bad luck.

Of course, the list can go on for quite some time since gamblers are quite good at adding more superstitions to their repertoire as time goes on.

You may try all these superstitions or some of them and see how right they are if you want really.

Have fun, but don't let it take over your life!
