I agree with you. If I am going to let a machine do the betting for me, and the outcome is most likely be a loss, then I am basically automatically giving my money away and that makes no sense to me at all. I get that it is not that difficult to do some strategies and check them out and see if you could make a profit that way, but likely outcome is a loss considering casinos do not really let you win in the long run with the house edge.
So, when I do my own betting, that is at least a bit better because in the end it is me that does the betting and even if I lose money that is still a fine deal and I should not be bothered about it since I had some fun.
Yeah!, of course!
I am also a supporter of the fact that it is worth making bets based on your intuition.
I tried several times to develop strategies and it always came out as nonsense. And I think everyone will also fail in the long run.
Just play with a good mood and at a time when you will not feel sorry for the lost money.
Then it will be interesting and enjoyable. But, of course, if you don't lose too much.
