Sometimes when I want to gamble, i might just lost the urge and drop the idea to gamble at that moment. The notable times that I have had those experience, the club I wanted to bet on ends up losing  and sometimes too if I ignore that feeling and go ahead to gamble, I might not have any profit and might spend past my budget. So, I can actually say that I listen to my instinct some time and it not just in gambling but other things too.

Honestly, yes I follow my instinct while gambling but of course instinct can be true but it can be wrong as well especially when it comes to gambling.
Some time instinct tell me to stop and I follow it, because when my instinct tell to stop then I take it as a good reminder so I wont continue whatever my recent result.
But if it should be specific "before gambling", I dont think I follow my instinct because before gambling what I need is funds and time as well as readiness to lose the money.

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.
This usually occur to me because there are some games you would want to book during your analysis and you have this instance that I don't want to include this game maybe due to targeting specific odd you just like including it but at last it went on The reversed way whereby, you start regretting of including the games to you tickets. I had few bet last week were I bet multiple games and there's this last match I never wanted to include to my bet but since I just had the game there and it met my required odd therefore gat to bet on it but, later it was that specific game that cut off my bet slip.

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.
I agree with you that instinct is not for a luck base game like dice and slot because you only to spin to get the outcome of your bet. However, it's only when I am on sportbet that I gamble based on my instinct so that I don't feel that bad after the game is over for not following my instinct if I lose.

It's not all the time that our instinct will work, because gambling is more of luck and not whatever your instinct tells you. This is why sometimes when you follow your instincts, you still lose your bet.

What I have noticed before several times is when I bet on a match and the team I chose to win is losing. My instinct can tell me that the team that I chose to win will still be the team that would win. After the match finished, the team would win. But there are times that this does not work but it works more often than not.

Later, after several bets and while I have reduced the money that I use to gamble, I do not think of anything like instincts. Also about chosing a game, I do not think instincts can work there.

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. 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.

Sometimes instinct is part of the way I gamble even though it is not entirely, but sometimes brings good luck when our analysis is unclear, then the choice I make is my instinct.

Maybe not many people who use insight in gambling, but in my opinion sometimes it is interesting and can be very lucky, there are some events in my experience when gambling does not follow instincts but only based on conclusions from the calculations of opportunities, and the results of the bet show instinct I got the truth which I finally regret because I didn't follow my instinct.

The only problem I have is trying to understand my instinct. At times when I want to play a bet, and my instinct tells me not to, I end up losing the bet. And sometimes when my instinct agrees with the thought of playing a bet and I feel maybe I’m going to lose another money. The bet ends up booming. My problem is trying to understand my instinct.
A lot of people will want to doubt the fact that instinct plays a vital role in every one’s life, but then it depends on how you relate and understand your instincts. That's nature to humans.

I think I've read this topic before on this forum, I just can't remember when. But anyway, it's hard to play gambling based on our instincts, the risk is too high in my opinion. Then again, like others, winning at a gambling casino in crypto is just luck.

Particularly if you're playing slot games in the category, even other games like baccarat are the same, because you guess which card is closest to 9 if I'm not mistaken, right?

Winding down.
If I would listen to my instinct, then I won’t be here still gambling and getting the entertainment I deserve. You know what I mean, my instinct keeps telling me to bet a huge amount so that I won’t waste my chances of winning. But in reality, if you keep chasing for huge bets, because of the anticipation for bigger prizes, then I must have ruined my finances today.

Good thing I never allow my instincts to control my emotions, to decide where and when to bet. Instead, I’ll go with my reliable experience in gambling. That is to bet not obviously to chase for profits, but just to get entertained, winning is just a bonus.

I don't thinks human beings have the instincts relevant to gambling. Any instinct is a heritage with the roots to the low forms of life while people get the habit of gambling in the course of their active life. The feelings you refer to are just the result of your brain cells activity which are trying to predict the might be reward from your gambling. It has nothing common with the real  instinct like propagation for instance.

I don't know if I can recall the last time I placed a bet based on my instinct or regret not playing the game that came to my head; it's been long since I have such experience, but I can understand the area you are coming from, as it's something I have encountered before, but it was on pool betting's that have to do with certain numbers, and the games under them are to end up playing a draw at the end of the match. It works for me a few times, and sometimes my instincts lead me to 0/5 depending on the number of games picked.

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.
I often use instinct before gambling, and it is true that it often makes me win, even big wins. However, i think this instinct can only be used for slot-based gambling games, for example just by looking at patterns that i think are good, while for gambling in sports i don't think we can use instinct, because it needs analysis, at least we can analyze based on the performance of the team, because it needs analysis, at least we can analyze based on the performance of the team to be selected. So the point is, instinct only applies to gambling games that cannot use analysis.

Anyone who listens to their instinct when gambling are guaranteed to lose money in the long run and in the very specific session when they decide to listen to their instinct while gambling. The reason is simple, your instinct will always tell you or the inside voice that goes to your head because of it will be always saying " raise the bet as I am sure this or the next buy bonus in this specific slot machine is going to hit the max win or the big jackpot" while such things never happen for real, they happen extremely rarely and to very lucky people indeed, these lucky people just don't know how lucky they are as they don't think about the huge majority of the unlucky ones in the world in those moments where they hit the jackpot or the max win. So gambling based on what your emotions dictate is really dangerous and a guarantee to losing money in the long run.

I use my instinct before making bet, but my instinct isn't that bad, sometime I lose and sometime I win.

In football we know Roma is a decent team in Serie A, even though they haven't become a champion in Serie A since 2007. But, if they met a teams that weaker than them, I would bet against Roma, why? because Roma currently isn't in good performance.

I don't have to made any calculation, it just depend on my instinct.

Yes you are right. Using instinct to do a good analysis based on performance too can be accurate. I  have also had the experience in the past were i did an analysis on a club performance so i could bet accurately and after that i had to do with my instinct and it worked out perfectly well but in some cases too the opposite is the case when you expect a bigger team to beat the smaller team hands down but it went the other way round after you just analyzed it yourself and maybe the feelings in favor of the smaller team was there but you just imagined the impossibility of that to happen and it played out that the smaller team won. I had this experience just few days ago between Liverpool and Real Madrid but it was the other way round and I lost the  bet as Liverpool  won the match.

Idk, definitely had a lot of instances where I've left the fate of my bets to gut instinct, never bothered trying to actually identify which ones saved my ass. Definitely think it's just going to lead me to some stupid bias since I'd only ever keep tallying instances where I do win, instead of tallying both instances of me winning and losing due to gut decisions.  Besides, there's too many to tally in the first place to even identify a general result between trying it and not trying it out.

Definitely don't think it's a good idea to rely on it most of the time though, especially if you're someone who doesn't really enjoy losing money xd.

No. What is called instinct is a thought that does not follow a logical structure to reach a conclusion, and although we all use it on a day-to-day basis I do not rely on it for anything to do with money. People who believe that they get a lot right because of their instinct tend to erase or not want to remember the times they use it and get it wrong, and on the contrary: to overestimate the times they make that decision by instinct, that is, without using that reasoned thought, and get it right.

Gambling while listening to instinct would mean allowing nature's course to run on its won. Thus this will follow the casino always wins scenario. The jackpot will be awarded to the one in a million players running the game and there would be little difference from not playing by instinct in the long run.

Because whether you go by instinct or not does not change the outcome of the game. It will run just like the math is supposed to run. This is specially true when it is EV- games in question.

EV+ games might not be like this but if you are basing results on instincts, very well it might be so.

This will actually depend on each of us, there are people who do listen to their instincts before gambling and there are also those who let it run without them listening. But I personally still question whether it is really instinct or just a great desire to be able to win the bet, because it is also difficult to distinguish which is instinct and which is a great desire to win and maybe it can also be called greed that arises from very great emotions.
I personally do not listen to that, there are several reasons, one of which is as I said before. So I gamble as usual and that too if I have more money to play.
