Astrology, in particular, is a wet noodly mass of confirmation bias.
We read that something is supposed to happen or someone is supposed to behave a certain way, and test it repeatedly every day. All the no-matches fade away with short term memory but all the matches get saved to long-term memory and cause us to add weight where there is none. I suspect there are one or two components of this in gambling.
