yes
I would t say I don’t listen to my instincts, sometimes I do and other times I don’t. If we are to put them both on a scale, I’ll say, 80% of my gambling is me having to look at the statistics, H2H, previous games, fixtures up ahead, what team are they playing, if any records exists between them or the ground and so on. That counts for me not having to listen to my instincts but, 20% of my gambling could be instinct driven. You see that certain outcomes are already played out but, you just hope they could do more just because, you missed it the first time. Most times, this does end badly for me.

Instincts usually come into play for me when I'm having trouble navigating a 50/50 game that could go either way and the odds are the same. In situations like these, where both sides are mediocre and there's nothing else to consider, you just go with your instincts and hope they work. You don't always get it right because betting isn't purely based on instinct, but it can sometimes work in your advantage.

We're not robots, everyone at some point has gone with instincts.

Actually what really makes a gambler to change patterns is mostly their emotions because when they have lost they would consider changing patterns because of they have lost. Basically, gambling is for fun but anyone can win through gambling, and the actual truth is that we should not put our hope on gambling because it's a dangerous thing to do. Sometimes we listen to our emotions instead of listening to our instincts, that's why gambler chase their losses after losing small/huge.
Most of us follow the experience we have to play gamble but instinct and experience work together in gambling. When gambling, we inter switch them . When loss we changed to another pattern as your said when we win we keep using it. Those who hope on gambling lose more and it is when a gambler didn't hope or didn't even think that he would win the bet that he wins the huge amount.
Though we have different way of gambling but those two are working together. Experience and instinct are one in gambling. And we use the both.
There are some games we might bet on that we could have that feeling that the games are going to end up in winning. Everything boils down to how we relate to gambling and the kind of mindset that we have. For us to keep making money from gambling, we need to accept some certain unfavourable decisions that have made us to make some loses in gambling and late shift to a much likely one that could favour us. We could make money in gambling if we know how to switch options and go for the ones that are unlikely to win. This pattern is betting against the general perspectives of gamblers. This is another way of making money from gambling in a rare occurrence.

Gambling for me has been 50/50 win/loss and on the win side it was probably coincidence.
There have been times where I make a bet based on what I think/know the result will be,
but it doesnt always work out.

I only do sports betting, and IMO the best input you can do is research an upcoming
game rather than going by a hunch or instinct.

So now I dont really listen to my instinct for gambling, I need to be educated in the
teams and who is playing who and try work out what way the game is likely to go
rather than I know X is better than y so lets bet on x.

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.

I don't understand you very well... and unfortunately these are the open topics that take many answers because of their context, there is another thread that I just answered today, the streaks, and I think that a talent is to understand in some way when they are real and when they are not, this can be determined based on statistical data of your game in poker, at least there they exist, now in traditional games I don't know, it's another way of calculating it, I suppose.

But generally instinct in traditional games of chance is useless, believe me, it's nonsense.

Now, in the live game in poker, face to face, you can tell a game situation by the Tells then, there you can rely on instinct, but in any other game situation instinct is useless, they are fallacies.

I never gamble with instinct, where I have experienced defeat when I have an instinct to bet and 98% will get a win, but it is very painful not the victory that I get but the extraordinary defeat, honestly I am stressed facing that defeat.

It's normal to do so and I do sometimes like having so much instinct about a particular thing like in betting now,trying to stake a game for higher odds and then I bet with amount I can afford to lose, then I hope it eventually turns out big. But on some occasions my instincts works better in giving me just as I thought but sometimes it varies with negative outcome so that's it.

Instinct is something that will continue to haunt us throughout our session, so it means that of course most gamblers must gamble by utilizing their instincts especially when we talk about the type of casino games that really refer to luck to be able to win, but on the other hand we also have to realize that it is nothing more than an instinct or feeling that we feel that drives us to take actions that we think might be more profitable, but what we have to realize is that it does not mean that instinct will guarantee victory or does not mean that instinct can control the results in the game, in the end, victory will still mostly depend on how lucky you are when running a session.

Even if I listen to my instinct or I disagree at times I still face the reality of gambling involving loss or win. I hardly find what’s so important about instinct although as humans we develop different thought towards everything not just gambling, honestly speaking whenever I go against my instinct I end up experiencing something negative but, concerning gambling I still go ahead with a different decision funny enough if the result ends negative I blame myself likewise after experiencing a positive result I feel happy. Let’s just hope we never gamble what we can’t afford to lose after going against our thought, generally gambling has to do with luck nothing else.

when seeing the quality of the game on that day does not look good then our instinct will only move to another game, not stay from game one. surely from the gambler circle can feel the game is good or not. if the game is good from the multiples they can last a long time because they think the big win is in that game. but I am always aware that the game algorithm will change every hour will not always be stable good games are only temporary. have to find out which game is good after that

As a rule, no one can give a clear definition of what intuition is. Usually, this term is used by people with magical thinking. When they are lucky in gambling (and occasional luck is a completely natural result), they say that they have strong intuition. In fact, all the events that happened to them can be very simply explained within the framework of mathematical probability theory.

People with a scientific mindset mean something different by intuition. A person with extensive experience in any field of activity can draw conclusions immediately (bypassing the chain of logical reasoning).

That is, this is not magic at all, but simply very complex neural connections in the brain of a person who has been practicing in some kind of activity for a very long time.

Instincts are just excuses to keep gambling in my situation. I used to believe in those gut feelings too and in those moments where it felt like something was telling me to bet on a certain game or avoid another, bet on a team because you have a feeling they will win or the exact score. When I win I convince myself it was my instinct proving me right. But when I lose I take it as just bad luck or ignore it entirely. Looking back it was part of the cycle that kept me addicted. It wasn’t about instinct while it was about chasing a feeling, whether it was the thrill of winning or the hope of redeeming a loss.

I had times when I think, I should have trusted my instinct or why didn’t I listen to my gut? But honestly gambling is unpredictable by nature. Our minds are just great at finding patterns or meaning in randomness after the fact. That’s what made it so dangerous for me. I use those so called instincts as justification to keep going longer and it took me to bad postion after that.

Eventually, I realized those instincts weren’t helping me. they were part of the problem. It's really dangerous to keep lying to yourself in my own experience.

Guy are sure what you are saying? Whether we have experience and skills, we still move with instinct. Your mind would tell you sometimes that you should play in this way. Even though you have the skills and experience and you have loss with those your acquired skills and experience, you follow your mind to change methods to see if you will win the game and no real gambler will tell me that he or she has not followed his instinct to play gamble. There are some odds we play with our instinct. Instinct are natural.

The only problem I have is trying to understand my instinct. At times when I want to play a bet, and my instinct tells me not to, I end up losing the bet. And sometimes when my instinct agrees with the thought of playing a bet and I feel maybe I’m going to lose another money. The bet ends up booming. My problem is trying to understand my instinct.
A lot of people will want to doubt the fact that instinct plays a vital role in every one’s life, but then it depends on how you relate and understand your instincts. That's nature to humans.

Exactly. Sometimes your instinct is fear, but they tell us not to give into fear, so what does it mean when you're afraid to bet? Should you not bet because of that, or maybe do the opposite and bet whenever you're the most fearful?

I try to trust my gut feeling to tell me if it's a good time, because for instance in card games you can either count cards or trust yourself. There's no other way to know if you should continue playing or not. You're not going to look at what the guidebook tells you when you have to decide if you want to keep raising the bet or not. There's no time for it.

Do you listen to your instinct before gambling? Hahah good question but to be honest in gamble i follow my instinct like 90% or you could say I followed my instinct like all the time and I believe this is basically a gambling are you just put your instinct and made a bet with 50 chance of winning.

Maybe there are some analysis in gambling but some game really don't need a strategy at all and just easy as click a button, maybe sportgame you need lot of thinks but in a slot I believe you just put on instinct only

But how can one just depend on using one's instincts in gambling because when we are talking about instincts, it's literally what comes in our mind at that material time that we feel it is the truth and if we follow it up, we may likely succeed. Regardless of the fact that gambling mostly depends on luck, but it will make no sense to me if someone decides to gamble based on what their instincts feel. We still need to play gamble by following some analysis of the events we want to bet on and not use any form of intuition. However, everyone should gamble with any strategy that works perfectly for them, if you make bets based on intuition and it works often for you, then you continue.

I don't follow my instincts when gambling because it's wouldn't bring luck to me. I gamble for fun during my leisure time, and most times is on sportbet. I already know the strength of the clubs that are playing and the one that's favorite to win the match. I just place my bet on the favorite team to me and that's all. I watch the matches to enjoy the entertainment and improve my knowledge more to use it as an advantage on my next bet.

I think I'm part of the people that don't got luck when it comes to gambling, I most of the time makes my own predictions based on my opinion about what I'm gambling on and that opinion is from my own knowledge and understanding of the gambling. If I want to bet on a match, people laugh at me for writing things down on piece of paper despite having Note on my phone but that's just my own way of doing things and they work for me, I don't just rely on instincts.

If you are an instinct person, you can lose a huge amount of money. I have seen a friend lose an opportunity to win a lifetime money because he didn't believe in his own predictions, he keeps saying that his instinct was telling him to cash out which was just 3% of what's stake despite having many games and left with two to play, after 2 days, the rest of the games were played and work according to how he expected. I mean he made the predictions, he should have stick to it till the end and not change mind last minute.

Gambling is something that I often do most of the time and I bet you that it is very easy to see people who talk about listening to their instincts when they gamble but not everyone of them really do exactly what their instincts tells them to do because gambling has it's own spirit.

Countless times after picking my games there are some thoughts that comes to my mind to remove some selected picks but since most times the selected picks is always from the teams I see as sure wins I have always done things my own way and at the end I end up losing my money because of not listening to that thought which is my instinct.
Real gamblers are always carried away by the positive outcome of their bet rather than listening to their instincts this is my personal opinion.

The truth is that instinct don't lie, most of the time when we listen to our instinct and obeys it the outcome is just always the same as the instinct.  In gambler when the instinct say stop and don't go further with betting it means we have gotten to the limit of playing bet, and if the instinct is ignored it is possible to go into lose as the outcome.
I might have to disagree. Instincts are usually just what we want to happen most of the time otherwise we would all have won a lot more than we already have. Sometimes it coincides that what we thought was going to happen actually happens but sometimes it’s completely off too.

I have tried following my instincts for predicting on a sport game and ended completely wrong however there were also times where I nailed my predictions out of just instinct and vibes. Some people have a bad hold on their instincts though. They usually get it wrong.

While instinct can be useful in some ways, but when it comes to gambling, it will only become a threat rather than a helpful tool. That is because, our instinct is governed with our emotions, be it fear or excitement, and that won’t be helpful at all when gambling. Instead, we should focus on the game itself, the odds it offers. And get rid of our emotions, because following our instinct could only lead to greater losses than bigger profits.

When following the odds most of the times is already a sign that you’ll be going for the most risky games. Risky games give good profits even if it shows all sign of it now coming to happen like that. Following your instincts could be a good pick for some games but not in all circumstances as some may perceive it. Gambling is a game of luck and when the luck favours you, it comes with using the instinct as the reason for winning the bet. Gambling can be so risky, dangerous and unpredictable but I think with a more time spent on them and focusing on many instances of odds, you may likely get to know how to win big than just winning some normal games without big profits. Following just the odds most of the times won’t really give you a big win, it’s just a probability which you’ll wish you’d won from.

Instinct don't lies and this will save one from losing much money in gambling.  Some people who never listen to their instinct after losing so much, they found it very difficult to let go which they would think of playing thinking they recover their money. Ignoring the instinct is a result of greed.
