[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you’ve ever spent time with an avid gambler, you’ll know that they have many superstitions. Whether it’s a certain item that they always take with them when they play, a certain table or slot machine that they believe brings them luck, or even certain family members that bring them luck. Some even go as far as to believe that only playing on a certain day of the week is what will get them a big win.

 

These traditions and superstitions which have no scientific belief are referred to as gamblers fallacy. Fallacies are not born out of thin air, there is usually a reason or a story as to why gamblers believe certain fallacies. Today we’re going to look into one of these fallacies and how much truth there is to it.

 

Can certain days of the week yield more successful gambling results than others? Let’s take a look…

It is true that playing on certain days or even at certain times could be to your advantage, however, this advantage is not based on the day of the week. There are many other factors that play a part in impacting the probability of a win on a certain day of the week.

Why is it believed that certain days of the week are luckier than others?

 

Most people believe that the best time to gamble is on Friday evenings between 6 pm and 10 pm. Although there is some truth in this statement it is not because Fridays are luckier than other days. It is only because that is when casinos are the busiest.

 

A busy casino means more people are playing, resulting in more pay-outs. As it gets later, people start to leave the casino and head home. This means that there are fewer people at the casino resulting in fewer pay-outs.

 

Some people also believe that casinos change their payout rate on certain days of the week, normally on Fridays. While this is a great theory, it is just not practical. To do this a casino would have to manually change every machine, which we all know is not likely regularly.

 

Casinos are also in the business of making money. As a casino makes more money when a customer loses, it would not make business sense for a casino to ensure more payouts over a certain day of the week. Progressive jackpots work a bit differently.

 

As the amount in the progressive jackpot gets larger and larger with time, finding out which progressive jackpot in a casino hasn’t paid out in a while could increase your chances of hitting that jackpot. The odds of winning this type of jackpot has nothing to do with playing during a certain day of the week. The bottom line is, it doesn’t matter what time of the day you play, the fact of the matter is, certain days of the week have nothing to do with your odds of winning.

For players looking for an authentic gambling experience, head on over to your favorite online casino. Online casinos are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and therefore have no lucky days or hours. If luck is on your side you might even win every hour when playing online.

 

When it comes to gambling, the only thing that will influence your odds is luck. Strategy, skill, and even days of the week are most certainly not going to impact your probability of winning.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
