Chinese Gambling Superstition
Oct 2nd, 2008 by Clare
So the next time you want to try your luck in Genting or that endless mahjong session with your relatives, make sure you double check your checklist.
Don’ts
- Don’t tell others that you have to read books when they are gambling. In Chinese, book sound similar to lose.
- Don’t count the money that you gain or loss during gambling.
- Avoid seeing nuns or monks before gambling.
- Don’t hit or touch one shoulder(s) while he/she is gambling.
- For males, stay far away from sex (or females) before gambling.
- Don’t enter a casino via its main entrance. It is cursed by the feng shui masters.
- Don’t try to be a winner at the very beginning, or you will lose a lot of money in the end.
- Don’t check into hotel rooms with inauspicious numbers like 4 and 14.
Dos
- Wear red underwear or undergarment when gambling.
- Go and piss. It can bring some good luck if you have been losing money.
- Females are more likely to win when they are having their period.
- Switch on all the lights at home before you go out to gamble.
- Check into hotel rooms with auspicious numbers like 8, 18, 13, 168, 198 and 798.
- Behind every gaming table is a baby ghost. Feed the ghost (i.e. with sugar) and the ghost can help you win or will not stop you from winning.
- When playing baccarat, players should call out the word “Deng” (Cantonese) or “Ding” (Mandarin) prior to opening the card(s).
- Pray and/or make an offering to the god(s) before you go for your major casino trip.
- Pray to the god(s) before the day of lottery draw.
- Pray and/or make offerings to the god(s) when you strike lotteries.
- The winning lottery numbers are out there in the world around you for you to interpret and guess before the actual draw day. For example, your coming wedding date (e.g. 12/11/08) could possibly be the winning lottery numbers for the next draw.
