Topic: Do you listen to your instinct before gambling? - page 13. (Read 2746 times)
There are several interesting books on this topic. They all claim that markets and gambling are counterintuitive and relying on intuition is ridiculous. Also, I remember a quote from a trader and a similar quote from another person, a gambler, who claimed that if you don’t have at least 5 years of gambling experience, then consider that you don’t have intuition. Most likely, in these cases, your intuition is lying to you. You can lose a lot of money by trusting your intuition. Gambling is mostly statistics and precise calculations, not intuition and “instincts”.
this is the exchange of energy that i have experenced and noticed for the majority of my life, its just about the need and want exchange in ones self, from my understanding, example: are you lying to yourself saying you need to win, else all is lost, or are you being honest and truthfull to yourself, not caring about wining or losing becuse theres nothing at "stake" in the moment(mabie have lots of bank).
this is what i think is taking place,
I have been observing it in my life for a lifetime now. Chi, yin yang. karma, soul, energy, all these are a way to describe some aspects and principles of this force.
hopfully this helps with some level a deeper understanding of what you have become aware of.
Cheers

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.

It will always end in defeat, I bet on sports only with natural instincts that suddenly appear in my mind to bet on certain team that actually does not have big chance of winning and in the end failure is the final result that I have to accept and this happened not only once but several times until I realized that betting does require knowledge and analysis to get good predictions.
Science and knowledge are often underestimated by someone who gambles because they think everything can be won with luck but these people cannot realize that with additional knowledge and knowledge they can create their own luck to win, indeed it cannot be obtained continuously but at least in each betting session they can increase their chances of success.

We need to understand that gambling is all about luck only. No instinct or strategy can make you win the games if your luck isn’t favouring you.
I don't Think so. Why I said this is that most times when you playing lottery, card, dice or number games, you might be triggerd by your instincts to guess a particular number and due to not being sure you might neglect it and when the number of the game happens to play you get mad at your self and thinked why you didn't follow your instincts at the first place . Yes, you can control the influence of the luck by doing sports betting instead of casino gambling. In sports betting some skills are required to predict the outcomes. Here some also bet with instinct but there is always very less chance that you will make profit. So it’s your hard earned money. So gamble responsibly.
Well I think the instinct works more better in the casino or gambling game but not much in the betting game since casino and or gambling Game are more of trying luck and guesting so I instinct is attached than the better betting game that requires good prediction and Proper analysis. Though instinct is attached to betting but not as it is in gambling or casino games. 
At some point, everyone of us have followed our instincts while gambling, yet we still lost. This shows that our instincts are not always effective in influencing our win. The few times we won, it was not because we followed our instincts, luck played out.
Instincts can be bias.Yea they are not always accurate because they can be influenced by our emotions and/or some long practices we have been used to which may not allow us think straight.
I have followed my instincts at some point and I must say all those instincts are as a result of my state of mind as at that time.

I learned a lesson that sometimes our instincts could be wrong and sometimes it will have a perfect prediction. But still, I always try to also listen to my instinct because it could also help at choosing what bet you want.
Analysis in sports betting should not be forgotten though, we cannot just rely on instinct alone and we must enhance our chances of winning by using facts, records, and history. Those things will still be the main ingredient to have a higher winning rate chance.

It could be a coincidence, but it could also do some good work because of how people behave when they want something. If you try to do it most of the time, it shouldn’t be that much work, but you could try to count and know if it is effective.
It’s probably like meditation and manifestation stuff.

instinct is extremely unreliable when it comes to gambling and this is coming from someone who has followed their instinct when gambling in the past. while it feels good when you win a bet because you followed your instinct because it gives you a sense of satisfaction where your instinct played a part in your win, it is still no different than not following it especially when you are betting on luck-based games.
When you talk about luck-based games, you can't really have such assurance of winning. Even if your instincts is saying that you will have a very good chance of winning, you still can't count on it.
Yeah, this sounds like a joke. I guess we all listen to our instincts before we place a bet, and usually, that instinct tells us "We will win this time"... And sometimes we are like "Hell yeah, our instinct was right, we need to trust it more". In the next moment, we are losing our balance, but we still hope that our moment is behind the corner.
That's true, I mean gamblers are very superstitious, so we "believed" that our instincts is always correct and so we also listen to them no matter what. And obviously, there are no logic on it but we do go with the flow.
And maybe there are some who won big and says that "hell yeah", I should be doing it. Just like today, there is an itch inside of me, fortunately for me, I didn't listen and decided not to follow because it might turn out to be a bad decision.
Not all the time one instinct will be right, yeah sometimes your instincts can also help in gambling though, just by following it you can make some good wins , but at same time you can also make losses despite following your instincts, so following your instincts doesn't guarantees the game going your way that's why is mainly all about luck .
If the instinct happens to work in some cases, we can just say that it's a little coincidence because there is not real work that instinct has to do in gambling; it's just like guessing some things in your head and putting it into practice by placing bets based on that, which it can only be luck that will determine if you will win the game that day or not, just like it does in every game that you place on using your special skill in analysing them, which luck ends up determining what the outcome will be at the end of the day.

All gamblers decisions were almost 99.999% of the time will be based on the instinct and that's what make the Gambling as entertaining. The only exception can be sports betting but not everyone bet simply based on the odds, there will always be someone who bet against it and those are the people can win big if they win at all and the obvious win games give little rewards only.
I just go with my instinct, I don't hold back the thought if I had a feeling that this game might be this one or that one.

In the definition of concepts, instinct is different from prediction. But some details should be clarified as you pointed out. Predictions in gambling are always based on intuition (instinct based) for almost all games. However, there are predictions that can be based on a certain reading or following a certain playing strategy. This can be observed in sports betting in particular.
Personally, I have never thought that I follow my instinct when placing bets. But it seems that this is what actually happens, especially when I am not sure about the efficiency of the competing teams or players. But I do not deny that every time I won I followed my intuition even if I did not realize it exactly.
Such instincts must have been experienced by all gamblers such as when betting on a game or sports betting, feeling shaky or having doubts but we fight those instincts and end up losing.
And there are also times when we don't want to bet on a match or casino game, suddenly we have a strong desire to bet and win the bet.
That's what I experienced yesterday when I hadn't bet on a slot game for a long time, I really wanted to play the slot game and the result was a small win. Although the win wasn't too big, the instinct seemed to guide us to victory. But that doesn't guarantee it.

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.
If you don’t gamble with instinct, what do you use to gamble?There’s not much choices we have when it comes to gambling. Especially games that are based on chance or luck alone. There’s no strategy that we could use so all we can depend on is our desire to play a certain game. Of course your instinct will not akways be right. It’s normal. So, don’t get too overconfident.

Your case is very different from mine reason being that following my instincts has helped me a lot to manage my winnings reason most of the times when I failed to follow my instincts, it always resulted in more losses for me and I have now concluded that following my instincts is much better than applying my skills in gambling and for sure I also agree with the notion and advice that we should stick to what works for us and me following my instincts have worked for me much more, and I know that you also is right to have experienced more loses by following your instincts and now relying on your luck to get along with your gambling activities.
Actually currently i didn't believe in anymore my own instinct this because previously i have try to gambling listening my own instinct and the results is quite bad because at that time i was lost all of my money and instinct will be useless to used in gambling especially in sport betting because people cannot be utilize their own instinct when decide to bets on the particular teams because if people did that then most likely they will lost their bets and in sport betting to gets the better results people should have skill to analyzed the condition of the particular team to decide which teams would they picked and not used their own instinct
Do you listen to your instinct before gambling?
I myself often use instinct in gambling, especially when betting on football. When betting on football, sometimes looking at head to head and looking at the squad is not enough, sometimes there are many variables that make us have to use instinct in betting on football.For example, when Liverpool played against Real Madrid in the Champions League, statistically, Real Madrid's team squad and mentality were better than Liverpool's. However, when using instinct, we can see that this match will be won by Liverpool because in addition to Liverpool's condition which is on fire, Real Madrid's squad is also in bad condition due to many injured main players. It's a different story if Real Madrid has a complete squad, our instincts will say that Real Madrid will win.
When betting on football I use instinct more often than analyzing the meeting of the two teams. However, instinct is not always right, sometimes there are losers and sometimes winners. But what is certain in gambling besides requiring analysis, information, instinct is also one of the factors to get lucky to win in gambling. I can assure you that using Instinct is an important part of gambling.
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 do, it's a feeling that I don't understand but I just go along with whatever comes to my mind and what is on my head. I've got plenty of experiences about my instincts of betting with quite high odds and this is just one of them that have happened recently.
So, that match with 5.50 odds isn't really going to be bet with most of the bettors because they're known for being the underdog and this usually happens in dota 2 matches. But I just felt that I have to bet on it since that team Heroic isn't just some teams out there but they have proven themselves that they can compete.
Yes, I have done it so many times and most of the results I got are not something I wished I had gotten from my gambling. The most recent one I did I shared in a thread here in Bitcointalk where I started that my gut is telling me to bet on a team despite my analysis pointing in the other team and I went ahead and bet on that team my gut told me to bet on and I won that particular bet.
While other times doesn’t even get close to the team my gut told me to bet on. It’s quite fun trying to see if your gut will be right or whether they won’t.

I have compare my instinct and skills and most of t uh e time that I used instinct, I failed to win the games and that's because my mind doesn't know who is in good form and who is in bad form. Most of the time that I hve also made predictions with my head and I win, I have come to realized that it's my skills that my brain used to make that decisions and not because of my instinct, without my skills in understanding the game, I wouldn't be able to decide the best.
Last game that Manchester City played, I had a cashout of 50% in tikctet and I wanted to just cashout because something in that games was telling me they weren't doing well but my instinct made to hold that game until the end and what happened, I lost the cashout and I loss the opportunity to win and my money was gone, that's instinct for me, if I had concluded from the way they were playing, I would have save myself from some loss that night but the game is the game.
