Superstitions in sportive bets: luck, ritual and the power of the beliefs

The superstitions and the rituals have been always present in numerous facets of our life. The actors, for example, are used to to refuse the pieces of yellow colour in scene, for linking this colour with the death of Grinded. Also they are many the believers that think that the bread does not have to be never face down or refuse the 666 or the 13 like numbers. And of course, the world of the sportive bets is not extraneous to these beliefs.

The proof have it in the numerous beliefs and ritual that a lot of players are used to to put in practice to the hour to make his bets or during the events to which have bet. Something that applies so much to those who bet in physical rooms like those who do it through on-line rooms, as Bet365. To end of accounts, seems that the world of the superstitions also has given the jump to the virtual such as we go to see along this article.

What are the superstitions

The first that we have to know is that they are the superstitions and why result so powerful. These beliefs base in the existence of an upper body, to the that can call anyway, and that commissions to do that the things do not go well if we do not fulfil with some rites for desactivar this negative luck.

If we apply a strict logic, is evident that these rites do not influence never in the result of the sportive events in which have foreseen to bet, but yes is true that the fact to try increase our possibilities by means of his application does that a lot of people attend to them like formula to add an extra of luck to his bets. Here it is where goes in the power of the beliefs, that do that these players think that in case of not following with his usual rites, surely his bad luck increase . But as we already have mentioned, it does not exist any real base so that these rites influence of definite form in the development of a party. Or in the luck of a player.

The most usual rites

Once that know that they are these rites and how can influence the superstitions in the games, see some of the most usual between the players of all the world.

• Not showing the ticket: This applies generally to the physical rooms and has like base the belief that show the ticket to other people can attract the bad luck. To this rite adds the fact that in case that the event finish with a negative result, has to destroy the ticket to the maximum to compensate this bad luck.
• Not explaining the gains until it finish the event: If you have heard to speak of the tale of the lechera, that went thinking what went to do with the income of his cántaro of milk before selling it, east would be his equivalent in The World of the bets. The idea is not having the gains neither think in them until the event finish.
• On numbers: Another usual superstition is the one who consists in avoiding some numbers to the hour to bet. We speak, for example, of the footballers that have the number 13 in his T-shirt or of the events that contest in this day. Also it is usual that the conjunctions of number 6 form part of the combinations forbidden for the most superstitious players.
• The series finish some day: As last superstition have the one who establishes that a player or a team does not go to win for ever, which himself is true. I expect that it does us think that the day in that it goes to break this positive series precisely goes to be the day in which we bet.
