Type of gambling and Intelligence

[AprilioMP]

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.

All types of gambling games may not be used as a benchmark for someone looking intelligent. In practice, people play because they like it and because they know how to play.
I cannot deny that there are types of games that rely on luck and there are some types of games that prioritize skill.

I play based on love and knowledge of these types of games as I do sports betting and slot games.
Sports betting because I like it and I understand how to play it so sports betting becomes a type of betting that is entertaining and fun when I do it.

When playing gambling, you don't need to be smart, because there are many people who win or get a jackpot in the casino who are not smart. Just try and participate to win or get lucky playing gambling. And then they were lucky; did they use intelligence so they hit the jackpot in the casino?

This means that winning at the casino can be achieved no matter what kind of gambler you are. If you are really lucky, you will win no matter what game you play.

You don't have to be smart to get the jackpot, because basically a big multi comes from a big risk (the same is the case with people who are aped to meme tokens and hit the jackpot) and people who are smart at gambling usually only have a small multi target with high consistency.

Do you need to be smart when gambling? Of course, I'll give an example for Blackjack, it's impossible for you to "Hit" again if your card has touched at least "17", right?

If you are trying your luck on lottery or other game of chance which doesn't need skills or effort maybe you can earn a jackpot but the chances is so low since to many people also trying to earn the same luck and this lower down our chances to win.

Also on other type of casino games especially those need close attention since we really need to be more intelligent with that so we can't experience huge lose, since betting without using our brains to analyze each outcome of our bets could bring more losses to us since this can give us more lower chance to win since we didn't put some strategy that can help us to get a little advantage to win.

No one is stupid, there are also people who are lazy and people want to try. and the type of gambling they choose and what they play, it will show whether someone is lazy enough or not. and gamblers who are lazy enough to try to increase their chances of winning in their gambling activities, they will choose the gambling that is easiest to play, without going through any calculations or analysis. And that type of gambling is slots. Because slots are the easiest type of gambling game to play, but unfortunately the chances of winning are very small.

Meanwhile, for someone who is willing to try, they will choose a type of gambling that can give them a higher chance of winning, even though to get this win they have to carry out quite a complicated process, such as doing match analysis.

That's just a basic perspective, because someone is lazy and careless, they will try all kinds of gambling. However, when they do calculations or carry out analysis, they do it carelessly.

Sometimes it does.  But you cannot judge people based on what they play. Sometimes their choice is just their preference, they like to play it because they are having fun while playing those games however that doesn't mean that they cannot play games that you think requires higher IQ level to play.

It depends on the person who plays these gambling activities. Every gambler has different views and strategies on how to play them. Some games need some intellectual assistance, and some games are just pure luck. It’s like when you are good at math and you like gambling then playing poker and blackjack would be suitable for you. They are also people who are intelligent enough to play these kinds of games but become unlucky when it comes to games like slot.

In short, it does not measure of how intelligent you are or how smart a person is as long as you enjoy what you are doing and be practical in life. Just know your limit like any other said in this forum, you must apply your intelligence in managing your bankroll so that you don't lose money by gambling and so that you don't end up like other incompetent and irresponsible gamblers.

Someone who is smart enough will of course choose the type of gambling game that can provide higher opportunities. Gambling does not only rely on luck, but also requires knowledge, ability and skill, so that someone can always increase their chances of winning in each betting session. Although to be able to win in every session, it is impossible for us to achieve. but at least we have tried to get it. This is different from people who are quite stupid and careless, they don't pay attention to what type of gambling they are playing, whether the gambling is based on luck or ability.

Sports betting is a type of gambling where we can try to achieve the chance of success in winning through the information we obtain and the analysis we carry out. but not for people who are stupid and careless enough, they don't like complicated processes. They believe too much that everything depends on luck, so doing random calculations is not a problem for them.

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

Analyzing games out of laziness wouldn't be effective and it signifies the player doesn't have the intellectual capacity to consecutively win games. Lazy gamblers have less knowledge of gambling compared to other responsible gamblers, and a good number of lazy gamblers end up becoming too attached to gambling. A slot game is preferable for this type of gambler as no skill is required to play the game, however with attentive observations, the player can be a bit ahead of the house, but lazy players will stay behind, therefore having losses. Initially, they want to invest little time analyzing games to get the fun immediately, but with loads of losses, the gambler ends up feeling sad. But, if they are careless about the results; win or lose. No problem. Slot games can be enjoyable for such a player who plays with no strategy and only wants to feel the video game thrills. Being able to control his emotions and manage his funds, are the only requirements such a player needs to continue staying responsible as a lazy gambler.

But, with the few precautions he's got in mind for staying money-conscious regardless of his laziness in being observant in building winning strategies, he can be considered an intelligent gambler. Who isn't concerned about the wins? The scenario can only get worse if the player is careless about managing his funds or limiting his gambling time duration. He'll only face more difficulty in gambling and spend time struggling to understand why he's losing too much time and also in another gambling condition; addiction. The intellectual aspect of gambling is very crucial in saving newbies and professionals from multiple mistakes. That doesn't mean the players, lazy or hardworking, wouldn't win at the time of gambling. The clear difference is that lazy gamblers with no courage to follow a gambling strategy don't know how to manage the won money. They lose control and wager it all without taking a single profit. That means all their money both wagered and won goes back to the house.

Yes. You can take example (BJ)

Do you think (BJ) only needs us really have good count, memory and math for counting the card? Off course not, you also need social-skill engineering. As you know, in (Landbase) casino they really strict or back-off blackjack player who are counting the card even we all know all of these things is legal.

No, not necessarily, I mean, there are billions of gamblers around the world and I am sure a lot of them like dice games or slot games, these games are very basic, does that mean that people who like games like that have a low level of intelligence since the games barely need any type of skill or critical thinking and people who like complex gambling games have a high level of intelligence because the gambling game they play is far more complex compare to the first two games I mentioned? If you ask me, it is just a matter of preference or interest.

It depends!

If the person playing the game wants to win money, then he will probably choose a game in which he has more skill, in which case he can be said to be smarter with numbers, mathematics and probabilities if he chooses a betting or dice game in which it is possible to predict some results.

However, if the person is just playing for fun, they may choose a slots game as they are more "interesting", but this does not necessarily mean that the person is less intelligent.

Choosing a game is more related to personal taste than intelligence.

And if you are talking into someone like ex. your friend who do make out some sports bet and on the time that you would be talking about his bet and able to make those kind of explanation then you would really be able to find out whether he do lack up knowledge or really just simply stick with the basics or someone whose really that having that kind of level of knowledge on which is more than into those typical bettors.
Of course you would really be making out some bets which would really getting in line with our knowledge and interest and this what makes sports betting to be enjoyable and something entertaining.
I dont know if it would really be that sure matter about intelligence since each bettor would really be that doing their best according into their liking and interest.Doesnt matter if it turns out to be a basic
kind of analysis or much advance because winning probability would really be still that affected on how lucky you would really be on the time that you do make out some betting.

In  most games, intelligence is a key factor,  only in  few others, mostly sports meeting, you rely solely on luck and prediction of possible outcomes. Because another set of people make it happen. Most times, its about experience joined with  keen observation to patterns that repeats itself that brings about success. Anyways, it takes an intelligent person to be very observant to these games. The more you play them, the higher the chances that you could guess accurately, some of my guys have observe constant outcomes in games they play and they often cash out from it regularly because they're quick to recognize such patterns and take advantage of it on sight. My only problem with this is that they're being more addicted and wasting productive time observing the games on a steady note, while expecting those patterns to appear.

Intelligence is surely a key factor in gambling, in my sightings above, you'll see that its the ability to remember and identify such patterns and predict possible occurrences that enriches my friends and such is a product of retentive memory which is intelligence. Although there are more to intelligence than just predicting outcomes, there's emotional and psychological intelligence when it come to gambling, but let me stick to the subject. Intelligence its surely the key to effective gambling.

Gambling is purely played based on luck. There is no secrets to ensure winnings. While you are correct in a way, one needs to have certain level of intelligence to play certain games but it is not required for all of them. If you talk about sports gambling then if the person had much knowledge of sports then he could easily bet multiple time and win. Yes he has to be lucky enough. But having knowledge certainly has it's benefits.

In sportsbetting, we could only increase the chance of winning by creating a good analysis of teams, players, and overall stats but will never guarantee a win, therefore avoid betting that much no matter how confident you are. Anything could happen within or during the game; even fighters which are least expected to win could still pull it out if things would happen in accordance to him. Intelligence in gambling speaks for the way you manage your funds and handle consequences of your bet. Even if you are a genius, if you are unlucky for that day, then expect nothing less than losing. Being aware of chances is simply a show of intelligence already for us gamblers.

No, we are not being intelligent or smart base on the kind of games we played while gambling, but the decisions we take and the choices we make will tell on how smarter and intelligent we are, such could be found with a good example on someone who gambles responsibly and the other person who doesn't, the way we live out life will also be a reflection of the kind of gambler we are, henceforth we should be taking care of the moves and steps we take while gambling.

You don't have to be smart to get the jackpot, because basically a big multi comes from a big risk (the same is the case with people who are aped to meme tokens and hit the jackpot) and people who are smart at gambling usually only have a small multi target with high consistency.

Do you need to be smart when gambling? Of course, I'll give an example for Blackjack, it's impossible for you to "Hit" again if your card has touched at least "17", right?

From this we can draw the conclusion that whether we think or not depends on what type of gambling is being played, if it's about a casino or sportsbook of course we are required to think there, different from games that only rely on luck such as slots or lotteries which only require aped.

BTW, of these 2 types of playing, which one do you like most? get high multis without using any sense or just target small multis with a lot of consideration?

I don't think that there's an intelligence intervention between all of those games. Many of them are luck based so, you just have to bet based on your decision and there's no integration of it with based on someone's intelligence. If you're a gambler and you think that you're highly intelligent, it won't make you feel that you're wise just because you're winning with any of those games.

And with those games like sports betting and poker, someone can make himself feel the validation that he/she might be intelligent because of the analysis and strategies that they might do. Well, on that case, it's all on you guys but IMO, there's really no association with it from it.

Much better to think that the experience is helping you out with those strategies and decisions that you'll do.

From close observation is assume that most people who are good gamblers always pay attention to details. They read between the lines before they make decisions. Sports bets require historical and match analysis which win a sharp memory could be helpful in gambling. I have read in this forum how mathematical skills could be helpful to gamblers which means having sound mathematical intelligence could be also helpful. But basically, gambling is a game of luck because sometimes people who have little or no skill but still win big. I have seen first-time gamblers winning games that an experienced gambler loose. Gambling has no respect for educational qualifications because even those who don't know how to read and write still win bets. I think the most important factor is to have a good understanding of the game and keep trying, maybe one day mother luck might smile at you.

We have to chose from two things:

1: gambling for fun.
2: gambling as a profession or making an income.

From the two above-mentioned you can choose which one depends on or regards intelligence in gambling games because for a regular gambler,  all he wants is just to get entertainment from the games and would not mind if he wins a lot or loses excessively,  this is what makes up for his quest to go after winning which should ordinary force the gambler into acquiring more knowledge and skills that will help him win the game at all time which is something that involved intellectual engagement,  this may work or not but trust me if you must involve your intellect it has to come along with high skills and intelligence.

Even in sports,  we have some gamblers who display also a high intellectual ability to analyze the team,  clubs,  and teams to come out with so sure predictions about their performance,  this helps them also much more than those who rely on luck alone.

So having such ability and skills can be called the usage of intelligence in the games so for that we may have to conclude that the use of intelligence has a great place in both in-house games and also sport bets.

[Onyeeze]

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
