Topic: Do you listen to your instinct before gambling? - page 14. (Read 2746 times)
It is normal in gambling to not bet on some game. That same instinct that you missed the winning opportunity can be the same instinct that will make you miss a losing opportunity. At some point, your instinct will not always be right. Later you will be grateful you did not bet on the game. OP you should understand that our instincts still rely on luck if not we won't win the game. I have been in the same situation that you in, but it is the other way round. My instinct told me to avoid a particular game and I didn't. In the end, I lost the bet because of I was stubborn to avoid that game.
No, because instincts have nothing to do with it. Gambling is all about math. Instincts are the opposite of science. Relying on instincts pretty much mean you are not relying on math and that means you are making dumb decisions. I had a gambler friend who somehow were winning some money from sports betting (which is not very common). One day he had a gut feeling (or an instinct as you'd call it), and made a big bet on some team. That team lost the game and he lost all the profits he had before just like that. He had a strategy and it worked for a while, then he trusted his "instincts" and all gone.
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 .
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.
use into your future gambling sessions because you have seen that it did work on the moment that you do able to play gambling on which i could say that it is really that bad on having this kind of behavior
but since you do find out it out that looks interesting or adds up on the thrill on the moment that you do play then it would really be that up to you.
It will really be just that depending on how you would really be able to stop at the moment that you are losing that much because these things isnt prove out that it do really works.
looks funny winning code through dreams to bet on the lottery. but my neighbor often does that and can be said to be lucky in the lottery until friends also follow it, some through dreams or unique number codes that are happening in front of them directly. whether the car number of the accident they do the number to bet. they say the code of natural delivery and yes it can happen to get a win from it
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...
Instinct, just like conscience, is the God factor in humans. Sometimes nature whispers things to come to us through them but it's left for us to give what's passed on to us like ventriloquism a meaning.Yes, I do listen to that overwhelming silent voice of my inner mind while doing anything; not just in gambling alone.

while others use their dreams to find numbers to bet on the lottery.
Sounds funny though
. I have heard about this severally were people say they heard someone whose father or grandfather came to them in the dream and gave them numbers to play and some say they win with the numbers given to them and in some cases I can not be able to hold myself from laughing when I hear people just making fun of themselves saying same thing to happen to them so they could win big and and live a flamboyant lifestyle which they have dreamt of living since they were growing up. 
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.
If we are the kind of gamblers that have self control over our emotions and could be that very sensitive on the things happening around us as well as the conditions involved in playing some particular games, we are going to have the feelings that we should refrain from a particular game or play it instead, this is about having a positive discerning spirit, because this will help us in applying the right judgement over any gambling situation and we can be able to avert any danger coming because we already have seen it ahead before it comes and affect us by taking action or right decision.

That's the thing with gambling... we want to win, even when things are going bad we expect a turnaround and a final victory. And sometimes it all happens just like that, but more often we lose... it's a gamble. No matter how much you think, feel, or be superstitious, it all has no effect on the final outcome. Like I said, sometimes it will all come together nicely, but a lot more times it will be a total surprise.

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.
For me, yes, I do listen to my instinct, but most of the time it turn out bad, or at least it's 50/50 to me. Sometimes there is this urge in myself, just like this afternoon in my time. So I did play and won already. But the thing is that I didn't' stop, until I've lost my winnings. And then I took a break as I still have my capital and then won again. Unfortunately, the same urge, I continue and then eventually lost including my initial capital. Deposit more and try to convince myself that I can bounce back, but it turns out to be a bad decision and so I just stop and then regrets comes in as I should have stop when I have some profits already. 
If you wants to succeed in the gambling make sure that you believe what other believes in the gambling, because I know quite well that gambling is all about game of risk and on the process participating in gambling the thing that is more important in gambling is for you to know what you can gamble and what you can not gamble, the amount we stake in gambling is what makes us to think that gambling is not for good, if you want to enjoy your gambling make sure that you stake what you can afford to lose because if you fail to stake what you can not afford to lose in gambling is when you will regret or have a remorse whenever you lose in gambling.
Well, in my experience, if I follow the instinct sometimes but most of the result are lose. For example, I believe I can win today by rolling dice, but the sad truth is, in the end, my instinct is not always right.
We can't use the instinct on sports betting or any skill-based games. If we do follow our instinct, I am sure you will lose most of your bets compared to analyzing the game. As others have stated, we should not follow our instincts unless we are playing the lottery. I have heard that some people follow their instincts and sometimes win, while others use their dreams to find numbers to bet on the lottery.

I have a horrible experience listening to my instinct to gamble, it gives you a false hope that you can win a lot of money if you gamble, I even borrow money from a friend because my instinct tells me its my lucky day but unfortunately it turns out the other way around, its better that you play out of logic and based on your situation that is if you only have the money and the time.
Gambling is a game of luck and it doesn't mean a strong urge or an instinct will give you the win that you want.
Betting based on instinct is not real, it is just your overconfidence that continues to haunt you until you do it. I personally never place bets based on instinct, because that can later damage our mindset when it becomes a winning bet. We will have a reliance on instinct & override logic, data (in the case of sportsbook betting).
Maybe the instinct can also tell the person to use huge amount of money to win so that it can be something like jackpot . That would be when the person will know that it is not instinct but rubbish. Gambling should be fun and not what people should take seriously. As they are talking about instinct, I think they are taking gambling too serious and taking it far. Hehehehehe
such instinct I think is mischievous to leading someone to bet a huge amount of money on a game that they just feel like to bet on. Maybe when they loose they would learn their lesson to not make such mistake anymore. Till people take gambling for fun, the issue of addiction and over seriousness while gambling would stop a little. However, moderation should be a watch word while gambling so that one do not get themselves entangled in addiction. 
I definitely don't bet on instinct. When I choose a game, I take a lot of time to analyze the game, I use my knowledge and the information that is available about the teams and with that I can choose which market to bet on. I don't use feelings, I just bet based on data. When people bet on instinct, it sounds like they are just counting on luck and not analyzing the game. For example, there is a game between Manchester and Arsenal, so the person simply bets on Manchester United to win, but they didn't analyze the game and if they are right they will say it was an instinct.
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.
The wanting to gamble is more on addiction and experience; although it develops an instinct out of it, I have had failures and success gambling through my instinct; its not something that you can rely on to give you success in gambling, so sometimes I ignore it, but if the call is strong and I have the money and time, I go for it, but you must never put out more than what you can lose out of your instinct, or you will be in trouble of losing a lot of money.

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.
Well said I would like to agree with you on this point, maybe where the skills are workout for winning for getting profit maybe on those sectors the instincts of us may work. Rather than in case of gambling, I don't think it will workout.Even then from my experience, I never get good back whenever I got influenced by my instinct. And so I think we should think logically without believing in these things, like you said, I think we should keep a specific amount dedicated for every gambling and when that limit is over, we will take a break from gambling like that day, and on the other hand, we should set a specific target for the winning amount like 2x, 1.5x or more.
When I act on my instincts, I am usually on the losing side. Especially when I gamble, I can lose money because of the greed to make more money. For some reason, when I get the feeling to gamble, I know I am going to lose. I know I should stop myself, but I can't because of the greed to make more money. In these situations, I always think of my losses. On the contrary, when I gamble at a random time and without a plan, I usually win. For me, it's all luck, because I realize that if I act on my feelings, I will lose, so I leave gambling to a random time.
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.
The best thing when you do get in line with your instinct is that if ever it do end up on a win then it will really be giving out that best feeling because you have followed on what those feelings you had earlier but if you do go against with those inner voices or simply instinct on what to bet and turned out to be a win then it will really be giving out that kind of huge regret at the moment that you will really be missing out on winning just because you havent followed your instinct. It will really be just that depending on a certain gambler whether they would really be following those times or moments whenever their guts telling them about on betting or making gambling on that particular point and doesnt really follow any principle and just bet accordingly.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.
Just like on the moment or time that you would really be trying out to make bets specially on sports betting where on the moment that you do consider out on trying to bet on underdogs. Usually we would really be sticking ourselves on betting into those favorites but there are times that we do consider out on betting on underdogs specially our guts telling us on doing so. In my case i do usually follow it up and will really be betting despite of those slim chances but the odds were really that good and thats the main consideration that i do also see out on why i do get interested on following it through.
There's no relevance if you will really be trying out to apply on luck based games on which the results will really be that random but since we are talking about those instincts then it will really be giving out that assumptions that on next roll will really be a win. There are those moments or times that you will really be trying out to make up some all in or max bet into those moments or times on which it will neither be ending up on a win or lose.
Its true that its better to follow it out because if it will really be resulting into a win then it will really be having that kind of tendency of having regret once
you had missed out on doing so just because you have hesitated.
