It's no surprise that gamblers believe in luck since they need some of it to beat casinos. And many players rely on strange superstitions to bring them the good fortune they need to beat the house edge. However, it's worth mentioning that some gambling superstitions are just downright worthless and should be scrapped. That said, here are five superstitions which you can forget altogether.

1. Relying on Beginner's Luck

We've all heard the expression "beginner's luck," where new players supposedly gain an odd advantage. But a problem arises when people go into casino games with the idea that they can win without studying any strategy. And the reality is that the less strategy you know, the lower your chances are of winning. So don't skip out on studying casino games just because of a misguided belief in beginner's luck.

2. Never give up your Slot Machine Seat

Numerous slots players adhere to the idea that another person could "steal" their jackpot if they get up from their seat. Going further, these players think that if they've been playing a certain slot machine all day, it is due to hit. But slots results are governed by random number generators (RNG), which create numerical code on the exact millisecond the slot machine button is pushed - not on how many total spins have been made. So feel free to get up from your seat and let another player take over because winning jackpots is a timing issue.

3. Bring Good Luck Charms

Bringing a lucky rabbit's foot or wearing your favorite shirt to the tables isn't going to do any harm. However, it's not going to do any good either because gambling results are based on odds and statistics. So if you feel like a loser because you've brought a troll or 4-leaf clover into the casino, walk outside, throw the item in your car, and go back inside.

4. Arrange your Chips in a Specific Manner

If you're bored and looking for something to do to pass the time, arranging your chip stack into a nice, neat pile is perfectly fine. But you also don't want to be the player who's so absorbed with their chip arrangement that they forget about the game and fellow players. Our point being, relax, chat with other players, and don't obsess over a chip stack tower.

5. Avoid entering Casinos through the Main Entrance

Are you afraid that you'll be cursed by going through the main entrance of a casino? Do you find yourself wasting several minutes just to find a side door to enter? If you've answered 'yes' to either of these questions, snap out of it! There isn't some invisible, cursed force field surrounding casino entrances, so you needn't be fearful of walking through these doors.
