Topic: Do you listen to your instinct before gambling? - page 12. (Read 4011 times)

Can't agree more. Also, these instincts are just something that makes you feel like you're just fine after a series of loses because that same instinct is telling you that you will gonna win the next bets. It's just the same as the superstitious or lucky charms you bring before you gamble, it does not really have a significant effect on the outcome of your bets, but it's just there to make yourself feel better and not to worry so much. What the majority fail to realize that casinos are built to make everyone lose eventually.

I agree with you that the mentality of chasing your losses is not instinct, but hope of winning. Sometimes, you might have also made your analysis and then yiu decide to change it due to what your instinct. However, I think when we gamble without much work or analysis, we have enjoy the fun more when we win because we will appreciate our luck.

On the one hand, if you make your analysis and win your bet, you will not understand the great impact that your luck added to make your win come through because you will feel that it was by your own doing.

I don`t think that we can call it "instinct". It looks mostly like the kind of addiction. Instinct is about when you plan to bet and make a bet without any analyze, just believe your foreseeing as for me.
But even in such a situation i think that such kind of "instinct" is based on your own experience, you`ve got in gambling before.

You are right about that so that is why they have a high confidence with their instinct and listen to that before they decide. Somehow they don't analyze the market but just listen to their instinct because they think that their instinct will be sharper than the analyze. But that is not always right because if they want to analyze the match and they can also use their instinct, that will be a good thing for them so they can choose the right team. If they can use both thing, they may improve their skill better so maybe they will also have a high rate of winning in that match. But if they still using their instinct in the betting, they will difficult to choose the right team because all things will be based on what their instinct tell. I just worry if that instinct can turn to be a greedy especially if they win for one or two times. That can makes their belief in their instinct will increase and they will not want to learn about analyze. If that so, they really gamble with their money but they just waste their money without have a chance to win and only lose their money.

I will tell you about why they really listen to their instincts to be used as a basis for making decisions, I am sure that it is done because of the level of trust and belief that is too high in winning, or they could be too obsessed with winning so that they are really sure of their instincts, but unfortunately the results in gambling cannot be controlled by your feelings, and well I also agree with what you said that besides the obsession with winning, greed is also one that can really influence every decision that will be taken by a gambler, although basically the decision seems unreasonable to others but for people who are greedy and obsessed with winning, they will definitely not hesitate with their decision. Actually that doesn't matter but the problem here is that it is very unlikely for them to be able to accept if the result turns out to be a loss, so in essence yes we must be able to distinguish what type of game we are playing, if it is indeed sports betting then yes as you said that we have to learn various things to gain skills, and other things that are most important to become a responsible gambler.

Exactly, sooner most gambler understand this sooner the better, they literally think they can develop a strategy that will guarantee them wins in casino games, when it is obvious, that what they just need some luck , because gambling mainly About lucks .

But when it comes to sport betting their planning addup to their luck, because most time some people can easily predict sport game just by using the previous match outcome .

Mislead? Yes. Gambling addiction? Maybe.

Gambling is chance-based especially in slots and our chance of winning is very slim. Instincts on the other hand can be useful in sports betting because there will be times when an underdog player or a team could really win a fight or a game. Statistics will show a player has the upper hand but there's conditioning that could ruin the body of a player or a superstar of a team and it could result in a loss even if they are a heavy favorite.
In that moment, instinct is something that could hit a gambler and risk his money for it and I think I've experienced it too when my instinct has been correct many times although there are moments that I don't follow it which leads to losses.

There are really moments that we do really that become hesitant when it comes into our bets on which on the time that kind of emotion gets in then you will really be stopping into those bets that you have chosen.
Listening up will really be just that be depending about your experiences in intuition based bets on which if you do find yourself having some good winning rate with intuition based bets rather than with that analysis applied into it then you will be sticking into it but of course it will really be that situational because not all will really be listening into that inner voice on the time that it will came out or guts been telling you on doing up something on which it will really be up to you whether you do push it or not. It will really be that too impossible that all gamblers havent been able to experience such stuff. If you do find yourself having some hesitation or having those kind of doubts then i do usually skip out that particular bet and never tend to look on whats the outcome. Why? It will really be just that bringing up some regrets on the moment that your guts showing up a winning bet on which kinda sucks if that happens. I have experienced that it do happen twice in a row on having those hesitations but ending up on getting different results or outcomes on the choice that you had made. Did make out some experiment about following some gut feeling bet and other one is the typical on which i havent expected for those results and thats why i do decided to stick into my own analyzed bets and never tend to look back if ever i do hesitate on making a bet.

Your right. Instinct doesn't measure our wins or losses. instinct is still uncertain and most time its comes from how we feel at the moment. We might be feeling motivated and energies which will drive our instinct to the fact that we will the game. While when we feel down or depressed but need quick funds. Our instinct might put doubt in the choice of game.

Wining is luck. Our instinct can either push us to be lucky to win or to lose. Instinct is a two-way thing just like a rolling coin. But when it comes to luck it has just one positive side. We can not be lucky to fail but we can be lucky to win. Gambling win is fully lucky but that doesn't mean we did not make a good pick.

Gambling is something that only requires skill in some games and also luck in other games, so indeed relying on instinct in gambling can be very misleading and lead us to addiction, in my opinion statistics and analysis of games and bets can actually provide a stronger basis for making wise decisions for us in gambling or betting, in my opinion, those who gamble should be able to think realistically and also have limits so that at least we are not too involved in the losses that exist due to gambling.

In this case it's not about instinct, but about the usual probability, each subsequent loss brings a possible victory closer. I also say that the ability to analyze plays a big role. If, for example, to bet on such a difficult match as yesterday (Athletic Bilbao - Real), then it was obvious to me that just betting on Real's victory is too risky, so I watched the match and bet on Real +1 when they conceded, yes, I did not make a profit yesterday, but I also did not lose, because it was obvious to me that this game would be difficult for Real. Sometimes you need to rely not only on luck, or instinct...

Lets be honest here. Instinct has nothing to do with gambling. You might be in a losing streak, but then your 'instinct' says that you might win the next bet. And when you lose the bet, you have a stronger instinct that you will win the next one. But that is just an excuse or a way of convincing yourself to keep on gambling and chasing your profit. If you do end up winning the next bet, it was not because of your instinct, but it was because you just got lucky! Never rely on instinct when gambling. Instead look at the numbers and your finances.

Somehow some people still listen to their instinct and seek the answer so they can pick their choice in betting. I don't know why but it seems they trust their instinct and say that they have a good percentage to win. But they don't know that will not always be their instinct because when they win, their instinct will replace by greed and that will makes them to keep playing gambling. That is why we must learn more about analysis in gambling so we can get the result that we can compare with the opponent. That will gives us more information which team that we can choose.

Gambling is mainly about luck and experience, you should note that sometimes you can win if you gamble or bet carelessly. In this, your luck has pulled you towards it and sometimes I bet thinking it is certain and then I lose.
However, I have been gambling for a long time and have gained experience temporarily, but with the experience I have, I can profit and lose. Gambling cannot be won for sure and one should never gamble for income, but now I am facing a lot of pressure after losing for a few days in a row.

When I plan to gamble, my mind never thinks of anything. All of a sudden, I gamble and end up losing all my wallet balance. I like sports betting, but the immediate response out of the roll makes me go for Dice. Soon after the urge to gamble, I just place the bet and roll. There is nothing to think.I believe that my gambling success all depends upon the luck I hold for the moment. Different people have different opinions on their gambling activities. I'm the kind who wants to win what I've lost, which is the bad of overall gambling.

In my opinion, it is not instinct that works when we play gambling, we are hypnotized in the game so that we think that we can control it, this is my point of view, whatever our instincts are, we definitely think that we can control them

So many gamblers are making this mistake that they don't even take time to observe the necessity of giving attention to their own self when it comes to gambling and some other decision in it, we have to ensure that we are not just gambling without being observant, instead, we should be very sensitive in knowing the right thing to do and when to do it, also have our own personal and genuine reason for doing such when gambling.

That is a better way of using our instinct and not just we don't back it up by something that can increase our chances to become right. Even though we think we are confident, it is still or always better to double-check things out. This can also be called as common sense at most times and it is naturally or automatically done by us humans. When doing analysis, performance should be the main subject but we can include others too like the weather condition, the area of which the event will get held, and so on...

After all, I won't still be 100 percent confident or say that I can now guarantee a win because sometimes shit can still happen. This is gambling anyway, so expect that we can still be unlucky sometimes apart from being unlucky and then there are also manipulations that can screw us because gambling is also a business.

If it always works like that, then there is no thrill anymore and it can give us an easy and quick money, which is too good to be true already, no wonder why it didn't happened. Nothing is impossible in gambling and if your gut says something, you can also try to follow it and who knows? You can get lucky and experience a win that you never seen before.

I do, but not often. Honestly, it’s not just about the strategy or the odds—luck plays a huge role too. Even if I believe this team will win and decide to place a big bet while ignoring the odds, it’s still a good choice—sometimes I win, sometimes I lose—that is reality.

For me, there’s nothing wrong with trusting your instincts because we know that no strategy is perfect. As a gambler, I go with what feels right at the moment. And if I win because I followed my instincts, then why not? At the end of the day, we’re here to enjoy ourselves, and that’s what really matters.

Yes, and that's why I said that instinct is still neutral because it can't always work according to expectations or can't always produce victory every time, on the other hand if the type of game we play is sports betting then yes of course as you believe that instinct should only be used when you have absolutely no idea about which team is stronger or which team is much more superior in the match, but if for example you have a way or skill to analyze both teams then of course it's better to use that method because analysis is an action to find out which team has been much better over the past few times and that is also usually based on statistics.
Well you have also experienced it yourself and it has proven to be true.
