Perfectly intelligent people will blow on dice before throwing them. They refuse to use $50 bills at a casino in Las Vegas because of a decades-old casino myth. They tap the table in a specific way before the dealer turns over a card because it seems to work. They pack lucky charms, crystals, and old lucky medallions in their pockets and bags. These behaviors are not evidence of stupidity; they are proof of a profoundly basic aspect of how our brains work: we are psychologically designed to seek patterns, find meaning, and assign agency even in the most chaotic, purely random events. Learning where these beliefs come from helps us understand not just gambling but how our brains evolved.
