Re: Is this true or some superstitious believe about gambling?
He said he used to be a gambler but stopped when he discovered that and that there are demons helping the casino and sport betting owners to manipulate people into becoming addicted and getting more money from them, they give to selective people knowing fully well more people would lose and they'll gain back what they lost when more bettors lose the old man made it sound real but I don't believe that, i think he's lost too much in gambling before he stopped and is looking for anyway no matter what to discourage people from being like him or he's just being too superstitious. What's your opinion about this please?
There is no doubt that the casino and the bookies (in case you are betting) will earn more than the gamblers but there is no truth that demons helping the casino owners. The model and algorithm of gambling (including the house edge) are designed in a way that it will favour the casino more than the end user (the gambler).
Some people have superstitious beliefs and therefore they are relating the edge of the casino as a divine help, while actually it is not. Gamblers already know that casino owners are at the advantage, however, if the gamblers play sensibly and responsibly they could also make money out of it (and demons help the gamblers too
)
