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.
Yahh we're having these kind of gut feelings or instincts that tell us if there's going to be a good hit or nothing especially in gambling. Sometimes you feel strong on a certain game that you'll gonna win this but didn't value the instinct and loss. But I know that these weird instincts that win us is because of the experience we have. The more experiences we have, it turns out great because of how we choose things. You learned from your win and loss that's why the rate of choosing the jackpot through instinct is very possible like higher 50%. But of course, you should still play analytical and by experience, money is on the line and you shouldn't rely on instincts only.

Yes money is on the line and not at all times advisable to rely on instincts but sometimes technical analysis could be carefully considered before making any decision so as not to regret aftermath. Sometimes, if we can, we can just allow our instinct lead us through but if we doubt the process, then we can as well do our analysis to factor out the possible outcome or result of whatever the play may be. But above all, we should know that in every game played, there must be a winner and there must be a looser so the results varies and our inputs according to our analytical view.

That's good if your instincts didn't failed you because many gamblers won't trust their intuitions anymore because for how many times they have failed. I'd ignore my instincts at times because it's not that good at all to rely on it and that's the reason why I don't like being on it anymore. But just as you, there are times that I cannot ignore it and that could have been the reason as well why I was able to win some but that's not happen as a daily thing to me.
There are people that have a good instinct that is able to let them know when to gamble and when not to gamble.
Once we are good with our instincts and we know when to take action, we would not have problem trying to make money from gambling when we have already gotten that signs that it's a good time to try luck. This is only work for gamblers that have trained themselves to be disciplined no matter the attraction they keep getting when their instincts have not given them the go ahead.
I wouldn't still be confident with myself even if I've got the best instincts, it's all about confidence and not at all times we're going to be like this. And associating it with the potential of making money from our bets, if you're confident that you can do that, you're free to do it. What matters is that your instincts would probably sense some harm or big loss that's about to come rather than big wins.

Instincts are full of emotions that’s why I don’t let my instincts rule over my critical thinking, that will only lead me to greater losses based on my personal experience. However, there are also times that we are already betting based on the command of our instincts unconsciously, something that we can’t do nothing about it. But as much as possible, if you want to bet and maximize your profits, it’s better to bet based on your real analysis and deep assessment on the game, most particularly in sports betting.
I agree. Sometimes, it's right but there are moments that they're not. So, if we're allowing our instincts to intrude to us, we need to make sure that there will be no regrets afterwards if we adhere to what we felt by that time.

Put your instincts aside, learn how to be responsible with your money, gambling knows no man, the house will mostly be the winner.
Yea, they are always the winner, irrespective of how well the gambler might want to train himself to be the house always ends up winning.

Being responsible can reduce the amount of money that can be spent while gambling but doesn't guarantee how much we can profit from it, but a lot of gamblers don't understand that they place their winnings on their instinct and skill, which increase their confidence and lead to wagering with almost certainty that they will be winning, which ends up being the opposite.

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.

Yeah I don't think your instincts will or are gonna count in a game of pure luck like slot games because most times you don't get to do anything as everything is luck based so your instincts have no influence whatsoever although there might be instances when your instincts will tell you to buy free spins rather than try out direct play as normals. I think where your choice of actions really matters is for games like soccer or any sports betting.

Betting by following instinct is something that is difficult but indeed, the instinct to choose something when betting will always happen. But unfortunately, when the instinct actually has a difference in the analysis carried out, then that is what makes it difficult or difficult for us to bet based on instinct. But indeed, quite often instinct also gives good results but unfortunately, I do not always dare to bet only based on instinct. Thus, resistance to instinct is personal analysis or at least I will be more confident in choosing according to the favorite or based on the odds available too. But, if we really want to follow personal instinct when betting, then we must also prepare a good mentality so that you can bet maybe against the majority.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to follow instinct more especially when one is a bit confused and have a little doubt in them. I have been in this situation before were I had doubt after my instinct was of me betting on the smaller club against the bigger club, I became confused though but that was the first internal feelings I had before the confusion sets in then I had to follow my own analysis but it ended up that the bigger team lost to the smaller team. It can be difficult in such scenario and that would just put one confused and do their own personal analysis which might be right or wrong as the case may be.

Irrespective of the particular option one chooses to bet, the truth is that one just need to be mentally stable to take in whatever the result or outcome of their bet is because at first betting or gambling is for fun and should not be for profit or earnings because only then one can do away with the result or outcome of their bet so it does not affect them.

In the end where does instinct landed many gamblers? In debt, depression, and addiction, this shows how useless your instinct can be in gambling, it is not the solution.

Gambling will remain under probability and no man's instinct can make them to keep winning, the earlier we accept this the better it will be for every gamblers, no one is capable to be a God of gamblers it only happens in the movies.

Put your instincts aside, learn how to be responsible with your money, gambling knows no man, the house will mostly be the winner.
instinct is just an imagination, most of them see around him like friends get big wins or see gambling ads with good games. making the emergence of imagination instincts can happen if at the right time where the game position is good. in doubling but the instinct of the mind races a good day is on side. even though that day when we were given a good game for a while consecutive defeats, there are defeats there are wins in every game

But sometimes we can let ourselves follow our instincts to make decisions because that is happened to me before. When I am confused about which team I need to pick, I let my instinct to choose after I am quiet for some time. But that will not happen too often as I realize that when picking our choice, we will need to use analysis and find more information. That will give us the chance to win and not have to listen to our instincts. But I heard that some people often listen to their instincts to make decisions although they already use their skills to analyze. However, the outcome will depend on their luck.

Yes, that means instinct can be used as a second option when you are really confused in making decisions especially when you do not know which team is far superior, I have also done it when I bet on a match where both teams are really in good form, but of course when you use instinct then you must be really aware of the risks, or you must be really able to account for whatever the results are especially defeat because usually the instinct is 50-50 between winning and losing, but of course as you said if for example we feel able to analyze the match then it is better to avoid using instinct.

On many occasions I play and I run out of ideas if I follow my instinct, but for a very short time, I do it but not as the first option, but seeing all the answers and knowing that most casino games are random and by pure luck, well it has helped me see that sometimes we should first play by pure instinct to see how we do? It may be that we win, because many strategies can be Applied and we can do well or badly, what difference is there if we follow our instincts before a strategy? it is interesting.


There’s no strategy on gambling that works all the time. Coincidence and luck are the factor that makes strategy works sometimes so the use instinct is already started the moment you choose a strategy that you will follow on your game.

Playing pure instinct like blindly betting is so risky since you might be triggered at some point and start betting huge part of your bankroll at wrong timing that will destroy your bankroll completely.

I usually follow my instinct on what game I’m playing and what kind of betting strategy I will use to play it properly.

When we gamble, whether it is following our instincts or not, we must be able to protect ourselves by preventing emotions that can make things even more messy later. I am sure you yourself know what will happen when you gamble with unstable emotions, of course the results will only make things worse, right? Therefore, as much as possible when gambling, we must protect ourselves to stay in a safe condition.
I agree with you, if indeed to find something safer, then maybe it is better for us to gamble with real analysis such as in sports betting which does require sufficient skills and knowledge to increase the chances of winning.
Emotion handling is something that must be need up to be controlled specially when dealing up with gambling because on the time that you do find yourself being emotional then same goes on having those non planned spending or adding up even more gambling capital then this is where things get messy because loses will really be keeping on piling up. Listening to your instincts on which  you will really be basing up
into the things on which you are really that trying out to follow then it will really be that up to you whether you will be betting according into that or will really be following into your common strategy.
There are really moments or times on which you will really be having this kind of hesitation at the moment that those intuition and guts do really kicks in. It will really be just that up to you on how you will
really be handling yourself.

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.
We can't separate instinct from our daily activities, so it is not about gambling alone but every aspect of life. Most times, people often use their instincts unconsciously, they would say they just decided it or use their strategy in addition to what comes to their mind, but that is instinct and in all areas of life, instinct has worked and has also failed. However, if you are conversant with the context very well and it is such that can be accurately predicted, then instinct works more in that area. This is unlike gambling, instinct or not, we still need luck.

Since I'm not gambling for fun, I don't let my instincts have greater part of me while gambling but I don't ignore it either. Some times I have followed my instincts and they didn't fail me so I don't ignore them completely but make sure to combine their tell with my logic as I reason on my choices.
That's good if your instincts didn't failed you because many gamblers won't trust their intuitions anymore because for how many times they have failed. I'd ignore my instincts at times because it's not that good at all to rely on it and that's the reason why I don't like being on it anymore. But just as you, there are times that I cannot ignore it and that could have been the reason as well why I was able to win some but that's not happen as a daily thing to me.

Yes I gamble by relying on instinct especially when I play on casino games, and I am also sure that the majority of gamblers will rely more on their instincts considering that gambling is very difficult to predict and also considering that there is no way to control the results at the end of the game, it is not uncommon for gamblers to win by using their instincts in guessing but on the other hand it is not uncommon for gamblers to lose a lot of money because they are too confident in their instincts. So that means don't be too confident in your choices, because regardless of whether you gamble using instinct or not, I still think it won't affect the results of the game too much, but of course gambling using instinct is okay, I do it too, but as long as you know and understand the risks.

Every gambler do listen to their instincts before gambling, this is normal and it helps I gambling within our risk tolerance even though most times I go against our instincts and some times I follow and listen to it but however, I must say that it is best we always go inline with our instincts, I always feel regrets whenever i go against my instincts and things happens in the opposite direction, taken responsibilities for listening to our instincts is the best than the regrets that comes with when we don't listen to our instincts before gambling. What do you think about this?
We follow our instinct, but it's not always going to give us the desired result all the time. What I do most times is to compare my instinct with the result I have from my booking, which is based on my analysis (talking about sports betting). If they match, I go for it, which sometimes it does while sometimes it doesn't. I just don't force it. It's not as if my analysis result is more accurate than my instinct.

Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅
Man, no one is discussing real-life situations here, and gambling cannot be compared to real-life scenarios.
So, gambling ain't real anyway? I Wasn't expecting anyone to come back to this cause I took a whole lot of time out to explain things from my perspective. Again, the sad reality is -- listening to your instinct doesn't make you lucky, neither does it direct you to the right games to wager on... What's the difference between you and I? Well, lemme tell you. The difference is that your mind is already occupied by some petty-aids that you feel is the source of direction.

Quote
No one is advising to gamble on self-instinct, that's foolish.
so what exactly are you rooting for? To wager on games whenever your instinct kicks in or to engage in proper analysis? I'll be so damned if this was supposed to be a shared practice.

If you read my previous post, you will grasp the situation in which instincts come into play.
I guess I'll have to look up for myself as well.

Instinct can be a bad thing. If you've not trained your brain to think logically you'll act upon certain urges that are definitely not good for you.
Gambling sites may allow you to gamble since the day you hit 18, but is that fair for you? Can you think fully logically and prevent emotion at this point in your life? Many people develop that skill more fully much later in life.

So I'd say listening to your instinct isn't always a good thing. Especially since your "instinct" can sometimes be terribly wrong. I'd just say set some rules and go by them in spite of whatever your head keeps shouting at you. Make up these rules when sober and stick by them. By the time your "instinct" just repeats the rules, then you can trust it.
