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.
My bets are mostly on sports, so it is very difficult for me to bet on instinct; many of my bets are based purely on technical analysis.
I only rely on instinct when I need to "break a tie" in a technical decision or when the technical data is non-existent or very superficial.
Technical analysis allows me to identify betting opportunities based on historical events, identify factors that can influence the outcome of a game, such as the strength of the squad, home or away performance, weather conditions and even the style of play of each team. There is a lot of useful data that guides me to bet for or against that team in future games. It is impossible to ignore historical data and bet solely based on intuition.
Of course, technical analysis is not infallible because every sport is also unpredictable and there are several other factors that can influence the results of a game, such as injuries to key players, tactical changes and even the element of chance, but I still would not trade a technical analysis for intuition.
