Does the type of game you play at a casino or sports you bet on show an individual's level of intelligence or how smart a person is?
Blackjack, Poker, slots, roulette, baccarat, sports betting, horse racing, betting on sociopolitical events, keno, etc.

We can tell a lot about a person by the type of gambling.
So:
1) poker players and blackjack players are always a little arrogant, because they believe that they use a lot of intelligence in their form of gambling. I think that in this type of gambling addictions are least likely to appear.

2) Slots - people who are ready to play even without knowing what the chances of winning are. Nothing depends on the player. People who love fun and relaxation.

3) Betting - sports fans, one of the most passionate and going to the end in their belief in themselves.

My favorite is sports betting, although I don't bet on all sports, i have a pretty good analysis of every sporting match that will occur, especially football, sometimes i also like boxing and car racing, but i focus more on analyzing football matches, even though the winning percentage i didn't pass 75%. Focusing on the bets you are interested in can make your winning percentage higher than the percentage of losses you will receive.

When we compare these games that you mentioned, we can see that in games of chance that depend on luck, the person does not need to be intelligent, in fact the person does not need to be intelligent, all they need to have is luck, but when looking at betting In sports, the person needs to obtain the largest volume of data to be able to analyze the game well, obviously the person needs to be a very good strategist to predict the outcome of the game, this also requires the person to be intelligent. but when it comes to card games we see that people need a higher level of intelligence, I think that it is unlikely that a person who is not used to thinking a lot and is not used to solving complex calculations and thinking about game solutions will achieve this do well in card games

Nah it doesn't at all. Slots are one of the worst bets in the casino but if you enjoy them and are gambling for entertainment it doesn't make you any less intelligent than someone else. People misconstrue what gambling is for, it's not the same for everyone. I am one of those people that when I want to gamble for fun I will play those luck based games. But if I'm looking for competition than I will play something like poker which requires a lot fo mental strength.

I think sometimes it real does because you can't be dull and play certain types of games, there are some games at the casino that literally requires some level of intelligence to understand and probably play because some of this games will play much on your intelligence and ur understanding of such tricks will actually become your edge.

Games like roulette and poker will require you be smart and intelligent els you will loose most times but games like sport betting, horse racing may require you just get aquinted with statistics and probably pass results and you are already about 50% good to go. They mostly require just a few knowledge about the teams that will be participating at a time in various sports and that way they will be able to make some predictions and if they turn out lucky, they win, same applies with socio political events because these are our day to day experience so if you have a good record of these events you can possibly predict their occurrence in the nearest future as history usually repeat it's self.

Somehow yes because creating your own strategy is no that easy and these kind of betting is not purely based on luck as you do analyze before you place a bet. If you are going to do betting, your mind will work and that can indicate how intelligent you are especially on making a decision that can somehow help you decide. Your mind will surely work in sports betting and live betting, some may not see it but it works.

Basically, not a thing to consider as a measurement of a person's level of intelligence on how they play gambling. However, you need to have that kind of intelligence about a certain gambling game. It's an advantage to consider especially those card games as you faced other players too that you don't know if some are those are really highly skilled. Being smart will always come from understanding how the game works.

Not just that, aside from we need intelligence about a gambling game, being smart on how to manage properly the bankroll is one of the key factors in order to lasts long in gambling. We should always think of an effective way how to maintain our winning stats over losing stats as in the first place there's no 100% guaranteed wins in whatever gambling types.

Also, consider those who are just basically having their own good times.
As you don't need to think hard on your games, you just play those luck-based games.
So the intelligence is indeed not a question here. You can't judge a person on this level.
And do remember, the tips, knowledge and strategies in other games like poker and sportsbetting are acquired throughout the years.
So it is not only about intelligence but patience is involved. And not many people have such patience of heading this direction.

Is gambling now a place to measure intelligence? If this is a metric for determining level of intelligence, I think the outcome will be often wrong. Because many people gamble for fun. Whether a gambler plays a skill based game or a luck based game, it is often a result of choice ad preference. Some gamblers want to completely relax, they just want to gamble freely without having to think so much, so they avoid any games that require too much thinking like the skill based games. Some other gamblers will not mind, and will gamble on skill based games because they like it.

The games gambled on can never be a measure of intelligence.

Gambling is all about interest for games and it has nothing to do with intelligence. People go for what will be interesting for them and how they can earn money from the game which they have interest for. Even the physical sport we do engage ourselves it has been considered to group some games for intelligent people and people who are not intelligent. All games are the same, so far as it makes people to have fun and it is enjoyable, this is the characteristics of a game.

I see no connection with player's intelligence and the type of games they play.
It's not their job, it's not like they're being tested there, they can choose a game with a lot of variables, or very little, because this is how they spend their free time and what type of entertainment they prefer. To provide you with an example, it's like deciding if someone is smart or not based on the type of movies they enjoy. You simply cannot judge people's intelligence by looking at the way they relax. Someone who enjoys reading a book might be smarter than a person who prefers to go for a walk, but maybe the latter reads for a living, for instance being a journalist and wants to spend some time away from it.

I think it depends on the person what game they will play, because there are many people who are good at math, so they prefer what they are good at and possibly blackjack. No matter what game it is, it sure still needs a strategy but we know that gambling only depends on luck so others also choose where to enjoy themselves.

Of course, to be a good Blackjack and Poker player we need to be smart. But intelligence alone is not enough in my opinion. Because you also need to have very good luck. Now, in conclusion, I think we need both intelligence and luck. Also, we need a lot of concentration and a lot of attention to follow the game. And that means high effort. I gamble for fun. I only bet on sporting events because I find all this exhausting.

Intelligence is a crucial component as strategic thinking, mathematical skills, and decision-making play integral roles in playing Blackjack and Poker games. But luck can significantly influence outcomes in card games like Blackjack and Poker. Being at the right place at the right time with favorable cards or draws can make a substantial difference in the overall results. Gamblers need to have sustained focus to follow the game, analyze opponents, and make informed decisions. The successful gambling involves more than just innate intelligence or luck.

It's a valid choice to engage in activities that bring enjoyment without causing undue stress. This aligns with the idea that gambling, when approached responsibly, can be a source of entertainment rather than a draining experience. choosing focus on sports betting for its entertainment value showcases a thoughtful and enjoyable approach to gambling.

Let's simply put it this way; if you don't understand how to play that game, how can you even compete or formed a strategy to win?

It's not about these games shows individual's level of intelligent but obviously, if you play a strategy-based games, you should that intelligence to applied on that game. Being knowledgeable on that game, you can formed several strategies that might help you win in the long-run.

As the famous saying, play smart, not hard. Remember also that in gambling, don't just bet or play on something you are not familiar with.

Casinos rely entirely on luck, but sports games can be timed wisely and losses can be covered. However, I think that in games like poker or blackjack, having a good understanding of the rules and strategy can certainly improve the chances of winning, but luck always plays a role. Gambling is more about personal choice and chance than a measure of intelligence.

The game of gambling is basically all about luck whether casino games or sports games all are tied to the determination of luck. Intelligence is only an advancement or like an hedge the gambler possesses to limit his mistakes that could led him to stupid losses.

Without intelligence a gambler can't achieve a successful strategy and may not be smart to make good use of the rules of engagement in the game to his own advantage against his opponent. Therefore, without intelligence a gambler can waste his luck of winning whereas he who's an intelligent gambler would know how to make greater use of his luck to produce optimal results.

I gamble and I choose to bet/play if I have knowledge of that particular game. Perhaps, it was our advantage over others and that will increase the chance of winning, aside from getting lucky. In fact, whatever you do whether it is gambling or not, never expect success if you don't have any idea of what you are doing. It is just like you going nowhere and you will never know what you gonna do next.

If you are gambling, should also spend time knowing about it. If you are in sports betting, be sure that you are also a fan of sports. The same thing applies to the other games.

That's what OP is asking about. Some games don't require much understanding, so they're considered simple games, where the player doesn't need to learn any rules and doesn't need to focus.
You don't have to learn slots to be able to play, but you have to learn poker or blackjack.

I don't think that you need to be intelligent to play certain games. Poker used to be very popular among cowboys and drunkards and they weren't the smartest, since half of them couldn't even read.
Some people just like games that allow them to turn off their brain for a while. It's like when some people sit down to play computer games after work, some choose the ones that require thinking like strategies and others just want to shoot some zombies. It doesn't make any of them smart or dumb.

I don't think so. Anybody can play any game but that doesn't mean everyone is intelligent isn't it.

Anyone may win literally everything, people who won in lottery, which is another type of gambling, doesn't calculate anything or based on the numbers from the past draw, it is just pure number bets and literally doesn't mean anything, not even with their lives. I also play the lottery, and I always pick number 17 because I think it's a lucky number.

Quote from: pawanjain on December 15, 2023, 12:13:38 PM

There are players who are pretty good at a game and regularly play that game but we can only identify them when we see them playing.
Besides that intelligence alone is not enough. We also need luck in order to win a game.

We cannot base someone's intelligence on gambling, perhaps it is game. But on sports betting, analysis can mean so much to win it, especially on team sports like NBA and football.

People's intelligence level cannot be determined by what type of gambling game they play.
There are many kinds of gambling games because everyone likes it, some like roulette, some like slots, some like soccer gambling, and so on.
It all depends on how much they like it, not how smart they are.

Moreover, the results of gambling cannot be guaranteed 100% no matter how clever a person predicts.
It all just depends on how well they manage the risk of the money at stake.

A gambling game doesn't measure by the level of intelligence, specific game to play in gambling is basically a personal choice is not something someone can come up and choose the one you will bet on, gambling have different varieties in you a gambler will make a decision to choose a particular game they want to play, so I basically believe that intelligence does not have a vital impact in gambling, a prediction in gambling can fail at any point in time, so that is why I said gambling does not have to do with brain intelligence
