Chinese culture has numerous superstitions when it comes to gambling. Many of them have a pretty grounded base. There were many instances when a bigtime winner ended up poor or even dead a few years after scoring a fortune. In July, a Chinese man has found a way to avoid the curse: he dressed up as Baymax, a famous Marvel character, so nobody recognizes him and he can enjoy his winnings without being bothered by broke family members.
