Gambling and the Power of Faith
I remember my grandfather telling me that his father never played cards if there were mirrors in the house - he believed that they "locked up" luck. As a child, this seemed like a fairy tale to me, but the older I got, the more often I noticed similar things in different people. In the casino, some wear the same shirt, others take a talisman with them. These rituals are not just a habit - they are real faith. I came across a great overview of gambling superstitions - https://geekvibesnation.com/gambling-superstitions-around-the-world/. It covers an incredible number of cultural differences: from Europe to Asia. And indeed, there is often more to superstitions than just the desire to win.

Hey guys! I witnessed an interesting conversation — they were discussing why in some countries all sorts of signs and omens are so important before risking something. It's amazing how much cultural characteristics influence our behavior. And it seems like these are just superstitions, but for some, they are a part of life.
