Luck is the most important part of gambling, like anyone who has spent any time in a casino, on the race track betting on horse races, playing the lottery, poker, blackjack or any game of chance can tell you. Some people seem to be lucky than others and prove the truth behind the old saying, “I’d rather be lucky than good.” How true is that. Good luck will get you through just about anything and no matter how deep in the soup you seem to be, you may come out smelling pink if you’re lucky.

Of course, most people believe that it is impossible to change fate or fortune, so it is impossible to control your luck, but in reality it may not be so. Science has shown that there are times when people win more and lose less. In his book, “The Conscious Universe,” Professor Dean Radin analyzed the results of four years of casino data. He was looking for a correlation between the phases of the moon, the strength of Earth’s geomagnetic fields, and casino payout percentages. During the full moon, the Earth’s geomagnetic field is usually weaker. Professor Radin believes that there may be some connection between the magnetic fields of the Earth, the moon, human psychic ability and play.

A scientific study that Prof. Radin mentions in his book showed that people appear to be most psychic during a full moon, then their abilities appear to decrease during quarter moons and increase again during a new moon. This fluctuation in psychic ability also seems to follow luck because four years of casino data showed that payouts increased at the time of the full moon and decreased at other times for most of the casino games studied. Perhaps our intuition or psychic ability really helps us win, whether it’s choosing the slot machine that’s about to pay out, or knowing whether to roll a 13 at the blackjack table, or which horse will win the race. Poker players can certainly use intuition to their advantage.

The conclusion he came to was that if players avoided casinos during quarter moons and gambled around a full moon, they would cut their losses or even make a profit. Of course, these are just generalizations and should not be considered an incentive to gamble, but they promise to really understand how to get lucky.

Lotteries showed a different trend. It seems that Pick 3 style lotteries pay more during quarter moon periods and pay less during a full moon. Fluctuations in the earth’s magnetic fields once again seemed to have an effect. While the phase of the moon or the strength of the earth’s fields won’t guarantee you a winner, it might be a good idea to start marking your winning and losing days on a calendar and see where they fall based on the phases of the moon.

Other studies have shown that when people have a positive attitude and expect to win, they actually win more often. That makes sense, doesn’t it? If you expect to win, you can make decisions that will have a positive effect. For example, if you’re at a casino and looking for a blackjack table and expecting to lose, you won’t be too picky about which table you sit at. But if you expect to win, you can take more time to select the table and find one where the players seem happy and smiling, which means they are winning and the table is paying better. You may not do it consciously, but you might do this and other things unconsciously just because you have a winning attitude and expect to win. We make many decisions when we play, whether we are at the race track betting on horse races or choosing a venue or game in a casino or even selecting lottery numbers.

So my advice to you is to keep track of your win and loss days and the phases of the moon. Also, keep a positive attitude. If you’re hoping to win, maybe it’s a good day to take a chance, but if you’re hoping to lose or just don’t feel lucky, maybe you’d better save your money until you feel the fields of the earth, the moon, or just plain old luck at work. for you.
