Sportsbetting is fun when you don't use the cash-out option no matter what is happening in the game. Be confident about your bet, and that is only possible if you have done enough research and analysed both sides before placing your bet, but if you have chosen a side randomly just because you think they are the better side, you will not feel confident and you would want to get your money back when you see there is tough competition, etc.

When you make your bets, close the sportsbook where you did it, watch the games and enjoy. Don't keep the sportsbook open, and be ready to cash out as soon as you see some instability in the game. That's now how you gamble in sports betting, at least I don't do it that way.

This is what I do as well, those cash out options are offered to allow gamblers to second guess themselves and make a mistake, and the best way to avoid this is by not pay attention at all to those offers.

Now this is easy for those that like to just make their bets and forget about them, but for those that also like to make live bets this is way more complex, since they have no way to ignore those offers as they will be reminded about them by the casino in a regular basis.

Sport gambling has been fun all along before the initiation of the cash in feature. Which leaves gamblers like Op wondering over the best choice to take towards the end of a game. Imagine the joy he would have gotten after the suspense, and he ends up winning the game. The feature has helped in securing wins for most gamblers, but its disadvantage affects the thoughts of the player, to think he's not good enough in listening to his instincts.

Don't know how well the casino benefits from such features, gamblers complain about this a lot. Funny how gamblers don't feel comfortable with any feature casinos add to their platform. Shows how uncertain every feature close to gambling is to the players. Hence, players need to level up and be grateful for whatever result that appears to them, regardless of the level mistake. It's a two-way street, and one can't move in both ways at once.

Trusting your instincts is very important. It sounds like you had a strong feeling about those games, but later on, decided to cash out early instead of sticking to your initial prediction. It's frustrating when things don't go or play out the way we anticipate, especially when we let our doubt influence our decisions. It's a lesson learned that next time, you can trust your gut a bit more and see how things will play out.

I really doubt that this kind of scenario will help user in their future bets because doubts is always a huge factor whenever there’s money at risk. The more you play using money that you can’t afford to lose the more distracted and doubtful you are as the match proceed. Gambler never learn lesson because each bet is independent to each other which means what happened to your previous bet will not happened exactly to your future bets that’s why there’s always a confusion on gambling.

All this doubt and confusion will be avoided if gambler will just bet small money or an amount they are willing to lose so that they can stick to their decision without thinking again.

This is the thing that bettors hate the most when they don't really believe in their intuition and choose to cash out, but not long after, their intuition turned out to be right and it was very unlucky that they didn't get what they should have gotten. But this is gambling, anything can happen, sometimes we are too sure about something but lose, or conversely we are not too sure but win in the end - it's all luck, so when that happens there's no need to regret it too much.

Uncertainty is what makes us like that, and I have also experienced something almost similar to you, where I placed a small bet because at that time I felt less confident about winning the bet, but for some reason at that time I really wanted to place it. he. a bet even though I didn't feel confident enough to do it. and the final result of the bet was beyond my expectations, I managed to win the bet, although with a bit of annoyance, annoyed because I only placed a small bet, and if at that time I had placed a fairly large bet, it might have been a win. I found it would be even bigger. And the opposite also happened, where I lost a fairly high bet, even though at that time I felt very confident in being able to win the bet.

Yes, but after all it is also gambling, which is full of uncertainty and surprises. So we must always be able to accept the final result of a gamble we play or a bet we place, regardless of whether the final result is a win or a loss. We don't need to regret it, because defeat is something we will definitely get, while victory is only a possibility.

As long as you didn’t lose your betting amount then you shouldn’t feel bad about your decision, in another case maybe you would save your betting from a loss. Actually your instincts are the reason why you cashed out early because you felt that the match maybe going to the wrong side and you would lose, your instincts pushed you to give up but not losing anything, remember this lesson as a good thing for your next bets and maybe the next time you bet and cash out early will prevent you from losing.
We all had one similar experience at least, sport betting is something very entertaining and stressful at the same time, especially when you are following that game which is going to your side then everything changes at the very last minutes of the match, then you get that feeling of regret not taking some of that profit instead of continuing with your bet.

I believe the option of cashing out only a part of your bet is a good feature, I have never encountered a casino or a sportbook that allows you to withdraw a part from your bet, all the casinos I know only offering cashing out the full bet during or before the game starts.

This topic is so interesting, reasons is because most atimes some gamblers instincts don't doesn't work at all, because some people bet and don't border about checking the games.
   However, it's not bad but on one side it's bad, when you bet on games that's runes for a week or 3,4 days you should be at alert to check the game.
   Although some gamblers don't consider checking in games because they might be very busy or what ever.
   My other reason is because of you don't check your bet and the house give you an option to cash out or continue playing then the game lost at last, you might not be happy for it, so the best way to keep this cool is just gamble and still be watchful for any opportunity.
   Like yesterday I persuaded my friend to cash out his game because the other ones are not trustworthy. And finally the games were lost.
   I am trying to say, sometimes your instincts doesn't work but you just have to try someones opinions.

I'm telling you!
The story would have been the reverse of the case if he had lost and failed to cash out at the time he did. Gambling is a game of luck and their isn't a better way to go about it. If your instinct works for you at this time and you've won, that's good enough but it's not to say it will always work that way. A friend gave me a sure bet that I refused playing because my instinct didn't subscribe to it, it later turned out that the game played and I had to facey reality cause that's what it is.

I do totally agree on this one that you would really be having that different sentiment or comment on the time that you would really be able to experience whether it is opposite on what your instincts tell you or would really be that getting in line with it. We do know that not all the time those those instincts does work or would really be always right. When it comes to gambling choices then it would really be that totally depending on you because there are really times or moments that we would really be having that kind of feeling that we do need to skip or pass out on such bet.

Sometimes it do really ends up on a good call for you not to be able to do so. In my case then it is really just that on break even on which i dont
really put up that attention too much whenever those inner voices would really be telling up something.

We can actually win or lose in gambling, but the question we should ask ourselves, how are we doing on long term? Sometimes we just want to trick our mind as there are times we felt so confident and we won, with that kind of feeling, we are so overwhelm making us overconfident next time. But the law of average will come to play, eventually we will lose in the long run.

So here's the truth, enjoy gambling, limit your stake to what you can afford only, and everything will be fine since anytime you can stop and resume gambling. It's very simple as that, you don't need to be emotionally attach in every result of your bet, consider it as a daily occurence where losing and winning are possible.

Exactly, when they failed to follow their minds and the result came out right, they blame their minds but when the opposite happens they thank themselves for not getting greedy.

This would have been the case if this OP loses the prediction, I don't know why people behave this way, it's very hard for them to accept that they have no power over anything that's based on predictions, anything can happen.

Instead of him to be thankful of the little that he got, he is here blaming himself for not listening to the voices in his head, thinking that he is a god-like being, when you understand time and human beings you will be able to appreciate, some things are beyond our control but its a blessing if we accept this truth.

Today i decided to try one of my sweet predictions in the EPL games. So, i predicted in 4 matches and placed my net. However, during this time i watched my games played so well but two games were holding it and i felt i would lose this game. It was already 83 minutes and i needed these games to play at 87 minutes i gave up and decided to cashout the amount i used to stake since it was the amount that was showing there. I thought it was clear and instead of losing i should rather just get my money back. Just in 15 minutes after i checked the live score and found out that the game played. I felt so angry and unhappy because i have not trusted my instincts if not i wouldn't have cashed out at that time.

Well, that time you cashed out, it was your instinct that telling you to do so as well, so I think what you meant is that you should trust your FIRST instinct, which was the time you placed your bet and choose the odds and never try to alter anything no matter what happens while the game is still in process.
Anyway, scenarios like this happens all the time and the most frustrating one was when the type of betting you choose let's you alter your bet anytime during the game. Nevertheless, it is the bookies that's messing with your mind because either way it is a gonna be a win-win situation for them. So, yeah that's how every betting works, you need to think and trust your instincts. The problem is, there are too many instincts your mind tends to develop in the process LOL.

This is one of the reasons I hate cash out. This is also one of the reasons I do not like to watch any of the matches or their live scores until the matches ended.

You are putting the spotlight where you shouldn't be putting it and in this I agree with Outhue.

Quote from: Outhue on March 05, 2024, 07:26:36 AM

The lesson you should tell others shouldn't be about your instinct, because you will not going to be right always, the only thing that I could call a lesson here is to learn how to take small risks in gambling, if all you have as risk management is your instinct you will burn yourself up and you will be full of regrets later on.

Although I would express it differently. Agbamoni and Oshosondy have broken the first rule of the good gambler: gamble with money that you don't need, that you can afford to lose. If the possible outcome of the game is making you nervous to the point of rushing to cash out, it is an amount of money that is important to you, and therefore you are not respecting that rule.

Yes when we are investing or putting our money based on games where luck is involved, we need to follow our instincts only. This is the best and only thing we can do. Gambling is not a skilled based activity which can be influenced by other things. Hence, the best is to follow the instincts and bet accordingly. My instinct always say me to not bet with high risk. I always go for low risk and low profit games, and it always results in wins.

You only play with the money you place on the bet, you usually don't enter any results or live until the match is over. The more clever you think you are, the more danger you have to face, because I had already bet on a few matches before and lost the match within a short span of time. Especially the game ends within 1 to 2 minutes of the referee's whistle signal and I took it the most.

Instinct is nothing more than a feeling that exists in humans, which means that there is always the possibility that your feelings are wrong, and I think it is a stupid idea if you say that by strengthening your instincts you will win, or victory depends on how strong your instincts are in a game, but yes we come back to the fact about gambling which is an activity that cannot be learned because anyone can never know 100% accurately that they will be able to win at the end of the session.

Everything is always about the unknown, and yes it means that it is true that we gamble using instinct especially when we gamble in the type of bet that is pure luck, but if you are involved in the type of gambling that is based on skill such as sports then yes it is like combining skill, instinct and also luck, But don't get too confident in yourself about a decision that comes out of what you feel because most likely it will only make you feel more disappointed when it turns out to lose, and also because not always our instincts go according to what we want, so my advice is not to prioritize and force gambling because there is always no certainty of actually winning at the end of the session, meaning make gambling nothing more than an activity to fill time when bored.

Does gamblers really have instincts or it is again just a pure luck? This of this, if this is an instinct, then it can be trained, inherited, it is somewhere in DNA. It cant out of nowhere, there must be an explanation of its existence. Yet we have in this gambling section have discussed already that it is impossible to get gambling genes, nor train any advantage in prediction. So isnt it then just some kind of form of random, rather than an instinct? And you notice how this work only in win scenario? We always caught our-self thinking "if I would do this, I would have won". But we hardly pay attention or focus on "If I would have done this, I would have lost".

From my experience, I stand on the opinion that humans have instinct and this instinct even manifests in the area of gambling. I have won in gambling simply by following my inner mind. Sometimes in the course of predicting games something might just tell me to remove certain games or options and when I follow my mind I end up winning. Let me share an experience here to justify the role of instinct in gambling. Early this month, a friend of mine called me on the phone to tell me that his instinct was telling him that the Sheffield vs Arsenal match in the English Premier League would produce over 5goals. Surprisingly, the game produced over 5goals and I won the bet because I followed my friend`s instinct.

Well, this doesn’t happen all the time because there are times I doubt certain games based on my instincts and then remove the game only for the game to play and even sometimes when my instinct directs me to play a game, I still lose. The nature of gambling has made it so impossible to win even with your instinct.

Trusting our instincts alone is not always good because when we say instinct, it may be lacking of proper analysis. So, what you did there is only right and shouldn't be guilty of, and I think in modes like this in sports betting, the cash-out options are not always there showing, so it's a kind of privilege already for us to make use of them. I saw lots of sports bettor before who regretted badly that they didn't use the cash-out option and lost their nice winning streaks.

Your advice of sticking to our instinct is still right but is only applicable to the gambling games that works randomly. I think this is the same as sticking to one side only which is a must, so that no regrets are going to be felt, in case the results go south.

Many of us have been in this situation before and I bet you, OP wouldn't be advising us to stick to our instincts if the game didn't play well at the end. Trusting our instincts hasn't proven to be very effective in gambling, his instincts might deceive him the next time he relies on it.

We cannot always trust our instincts to give a fair judgement or good recommendations. As humans, many factors such as fear, greed, sentiment, bias etc might influence our thoughts and we will begin to feel that's our instincts telling us the right thing to do. Remember, instincts act in response to all this factors and our environments too, therefore we should be careful not to follow our instincts blindly. In many cases, I have followed my instincts while gambling and most times, I lost. A proper analysis and understanding of what you are gambling on will help boost your confidence and this time, it is safe to trust your instincts.
