This is true. For men, this is just human nature. I don't really think having a woman influences the 'luck' in any way though
Human nature is that we keep on believing with such superstitions that doesn't have an implied proof of existence. This is just happening suddenly and we don't have basis for this thing of having a woman beside you and you'll win. For some this is effective but others are even winning with vast amounts for not having a woman sitting beside them and gives them annoying suggestions to stop gambling.
