and if you do how was the turn of event when you listened to your instinct and also the other way round.
For me, instinct is certainly used in gambling, but not all types of gambling games use instinct or one's own instincts, maybe if instinct lottery gambling has a powerful magnetic force for the numbers being bet on, you could say that the 1/2 ratio is okay to play.

Or instinct for sports betting also has a good meaning for winning, but not all of it, the point is that instinct if used in the gambling arena, a few percent can be said to be close to having a good chance, However, not all of our instincts can be guaranteed for success in gambling, only some.
Instinct it isnt used but rather it will be better that you should really be that always depend or basing up into your skills and analysis on which this is something that you must consider out on the moment or time that you do make up some decisions towards your betting. It will really be that just too impossible that you cant be able to determine on whether your intuition calls will be that giving out that good winning rate rather than on sticking with your analysis. It will really be just that too impossible that you wont be able to spot out. If you do see your intuition calls do make out that better win rate then why would you go back on sticking with your analysis? of course we would be sticking into something that brings out that kind of good profitability but most of the time intuition doesnt really give out assurance always yet these hunches do really kicks in for sometimes.

I understand your point here and It is good that sometimes one needs to implore their skills and analysis if they feel that their internal thoughts are not stable enough to guide them through as the case may be. However, it is good to put one's analytical skills into play if it could help them give a good prediction and outcome of their game because as it is, one's stability matters when one is not in the right frame of mindset, it would be difficult to use personal intuition because it might not augur well with such result in the long run and in most cases, such state of mind will also affect ones analytic skills making them not being able to come up with a clear analysis and this would make them question their skills at the moment forgetting that they were not in the right state of mind which might have likely led to the result they got.

I would even say that in sports betting, players have a similar path. At first, the player tries to place bets and if he is lucky, he will continue to do so until he catches failure. In general, sooner or later, he will get a moment with several losses in a row, and then he can lose his temper and start betting larger amounts and without analysis, only with the help of intuition. I had a similar experience, and I think that many players go exactly this way very often. Therefore, it is important to be able to lose and not lose your temper, because losing is only part of the game, you can’t win all the time.
This doesn't even relate to what I do so I wouldn't consider all players who bet on soccer as such although there may be some who do.

We bet not only based on instinct in soccer but also do it with several other approaches such as looking at the performance of a club that will compete, h2h and even the statistics of the match to be carried out so that in the end choosing a bet is also not just arbitrary even though in the end the result may still be undetermined from the start but we know that the probability that we will bet is greater than others so there are indeed some moments where we lose on bets made but that does not mean we will become someone who is impulsive by betting without looking at anything just because we have tasted defeat, At least I never do that because in the end the situation returns to the condition where whatever the game is still in gambling self-control becomes a thing that needs to be considered.

Sometimes nature has its own way of doing things which we can not understand, it prevents occurrences and also makes things happens positively if only we are very much attentive to some signs it gives out before we taking actions. I believe we all here have  our mind and our instinct tells us much more of occurrences  before they take place to our consciousness.  I will like to relate it to us that are into gambling and hear how our experience has been like so far.

I have had this experience on several occasion were I would be having this feelings to bet on a particular game which sometimes I ignore and the game turn out to be a perfect one and in some cases I bet and win and also when my instinct does not allow me to bet I just go ahead for fun and it turns out to be a bad one though which I just did for fun but at the entire end I have this feelings in me that I should not have gambled that game maybe I should have just watched for fun and do my things. It just happens sometimes that we do have that feelings and when it occurs, some are sensitive enough to listen to their instinct while some do not really understand why they feel that way and after playing, they have a bad time and call it a luck based thing. Do you really have such experience sometimes when you want to gamble? and if you do how was the turn of event when you listened to your instinct and also the other way round.
Depending on your instincts for Gambling does not always come as as there are days when your instincts will be wrong when gambling just go with the mindset that it's fifty fifty so it's either you win or lose so your instincts telling you to stake on a game may not be true as one can be moved by emotions based on what they feel is the truth

Sometimes emotion can come in play and you thinking it is your instincts leading you but however,  I will agree with you that it should not be too often that we depend on instinct to play a gamen as sometimes it is our emotions in play, making us feel we are on the right track of doing the right thing but not knowing that what we have done is very wrong.

As a gambler, playing a game should keep us prepared for the outcome of either winning or losing and this point to how prepared we are to accept the results of the game and in all, gambling for fun should always be the focus so that we do not get carried away by the ideology of always wanting to win the game.

We often try to search the answers until we don`t find the answer we like. In such situation we ignore some facts that looks bad for our theory. It doesn`t depends on the age, it is some problem with the human. Of course it doesn`t mean that it is what happened with your friend but it is possible situation too. Anyway it is good that he could stop even after such problems.

Well if I have years without knowing about him, since he was cured I did not know anything else, but he was really bad, in fact he even walked with a cane, I saw him too old, but particularly obsessions can lead people to a point in their life almost mortal, he also believed himself to be very intelligent, people told him that he was the most intelligent of all and that he Dominated everything, but a truly intelligent person does not get to hurt himself, that is why casino games must be taken as a means of entertainment, I see it as a service of entertainment that should not be exceeded.

I don`t think that he is good at maths. It is known mistake when you get some new information and decide that you can change the world. Especially if you are young enough. But the truth is not to run faster to use new knowledge - the right way is to get more information, make some additional research, search other people who tried to do the same. It would help to avoid your own mistakes and problems.

Well to tell the truth, everything has its study and what you say is very real, but he buried himself so much in looking for a way to win that it was impressive how much he failed at everything, in fact if it hadn't been for the support of his family I don't know what could have happened to him, he got the beginning of schizophrenia because he couldn't sleep, after that I think he led a normal life, somewhat more relaxed because I haven't heard anything else since his mother died , but he searched for that in a desperate way with mathematical concepts and simulations through Matlab , he modeled everything there.

Gambling is something of interest and determination, and many people do Lament that gambling is all about risk, so if you're participating in gambling you have to know that nature can apply to it because is not certain that you will win in the gambling, you can gamble twenty times a week and you will not win anything, but you zero your mind in the gambling that you will not participate in gambling and when you gamble gain and you win, so we don't need to put much interest in gambling because we are not sure of wining.

Everyone who is a gambler knows that in gambling when you're desperate of wining in the gambling its when you will lose in the gambling but if you're not expecting anything from gambling and you just gamble to catch fun, it can be the time you win, so the best to do in gambling is to gamble without much intentions of wining, I know very well that gambling is all about risk and you maybe lucky to win unexpectedly, so that's gambling for all of us.

I don`t think that instinct has something common with stress. When you`re stressed you make mistakes trying to win more or to return your loses. It is not about instinct but mostly about greed and mistakes.
But you`re right that it is near with gambling addiction and we have to pay attention to such signals.

Well yes, although to me personally if I am stressed it does affect me and more so if I play in a casino, and in any case these signs when playing and not controlling the Initial signs that are given, then quickly becomes addicted, this reminds me of a friend who is very calm, a person who does not even leave his house, very good at university, but who suddenly saw an opportunity in casinos, he applied everything he knows in statistics and told me that it was all about game theory, that he was going to make a lot of money, and in the search for that I remember very well that he was left badly, without money, it gave me a feeling knowing that at one point he Almost went without eating for a Whole day , it was a silent and fast addiction, the only way to get ahead was with the Support of his entire Family.

I am a cautious person that often think 3 times before spending money. However, I can not tell that I have a special instinct for gambling. I cant recognize a moment when I was doubting in placing a bet, or inner helper whispered me a hint. I dont think there is a special instinct for gambling, for self-preservation yes, there is, but for gambling it is questionable. What I believe, people when lose, they tell themselves (to calm down) that they should have listened to their instinct.

Indeed, sometimes the first instinct that appears in a person when they want to gamble and make a choice is always a reliable indicator, but it does not always work, sometimes it is wrong and besides that emotions can sometimes change decisions that lead to regret when the first instinct turns out to be right.
And in my opinion, winning in gambling is actually purely a matter of luck and instinct is also sometimes right and sometimes wrong, and the best of all when gambling we must play with full awareness so that we can easily control ourselves and also emotions when that strong instinct comes and if that instinct makes us hesitate we should not bet but emotions make us continue to bet.

While gambling my instincts are mostly wrong. I am speaking from the aspect of a slot player. My instincts is just my emotions that wants me to win. In fact I don't trust my instincts. I follow the plan I have which is usually, deposit $50 - $70, pick my favourite slot game, do my spins, if I win, I withdraw my winnings. And If I lose, I try another day. I think that instincts come into play for games of skills rather than games of luck. Games where you have to really do your own homework, research, and put in your own efforts. That is where instincts may work.

that is one of the weaknesses when someone relies on their instinct because they do not know whether the instinct leads them to something good or worse. especially in gambling, i do not feel that instinct here can really work, since the casino has a house edge and that makes gamblers not be sure whether they can win in gambling or not. and therefore it is better for a gambler not to rely entirely on their instincts, they need to think more logically and set limits in their gambling.
I was reading a post on X one day where a guy said, "if you think your spirit can not mislead you, then try gambling", and please note that the word "spirit" here can be likened for instinct, the mind, our intuition and so on.

The truth of the matter is that, when it comes to gambling, instinct does not work, it is a complete mirage to believe that your instinct will be right at all time, and let me even say that what some of us assume to be our instinct at work could possibly be nothing but luck on our side, but some gamblers believe that it's their instinct that made them win, and go ahead to believe their instinct in their next game, only for them to fail woefully.

Do your research, every thing you have to do to increase your chances of win your bets, and then simply depend on luck, instinct doesn't work in gambling.

In the slot game in my opinion using instinct or not it is useless if you don't have luck that night, therefore you can get profit or loss either using instinct or not because it is purely in the slot game owned by the dealer and you with your own luck.

Even on bets that involve skills, can be useful if you already have the right strategy in one moment then get used to it because it considers it true and in the end instant movements can be done by your instincts.

And I firmly believe that instinct is our subconscious that tries to help us make a quick and unconscious decision when real observations or conscious experience are powerless. So, this very subconscious needs to be trained, you need to have experience in life and not be afraid to leave your comfort zone, and then instincts will be able to quickly suggest the right decisions. And premonitions will also develop. This is why champions have such a quick reaction and why they make decisions in a split second. And this can be useful in gambling.

Although we know that in gambling the most beneficial thing is the bookmaker, but often we continue to ignore this so that in the end we forget to set limits in gambling, when we win we should indeed know when to stop, as well as when we are in a losing position and don't try to chase the defeat blindly which will actually worsen our situation, so far, the bookmaker has always had a mathematical advantage in every game (house edge),so in the long run they will continue to have a greater advantage over gamblers.

It all depends on the aspect of gambling. When it comes to casino gambling I play based on instincts because there are no strategies or systems that works, you just have to rely and instincts and hope to get lucky. Sports betting on the other hand is quite different, there are statistical methods used to approach this. instead of relying on instincts that might fail you just take your time to do a little research on your selections before making your final decision. This might not work for everyone though, there are those that have won from games played off from instincts and some have lost money due to this.
Gamblers will more often use their instincts in gambling, even though it is in sports betting where they first do analysis but there are parts where they can not follow the results of the analysis because instincts say otherwise. For casino games will depend entirely on instinct because that is all that can be done, and instinct often leads players to bad things because emotions also affect instincts.
I would even say that in sports betting, players have a similar path. At first, the player tries to place bets and if he is lucky, he will continue to do so until he catches failure. In general, sooner or later, he will get a moment with several losses in a row, and then he can lose his temper and start betting larger amounts and without analysis, only with the help of intuition. I had a similar experience, and I think that many players go exactly this way very often. Therefore, it is important to be able to lose and not lose your temper, because losing is only part of the game, you can’t win all the time.
