Type of gambling and Intelligence

[danherbias07]

I don't think so, gambling is not a place to test one's intelligence because Majority of this gamblers is not well educated in other aspects while in gambling they can do more better than those who are well educated in other aspects. so I feel that gambling is not about being intelligent or not so long as you can be able to master the options You can play very well, Rather those who are intelligent will always know when to stop and work away while those who are not intelligent enough will Stick to it until they finish thier bankroll, But if it's in terms of making winings I don't think if those winings have anything to do with intelligence.

In fact, I think the only skill that could be useful in some gambling games is memory; being intelligent is a different matter.
Also because, I believe, an intelligent person uses their intelligence precisely in something constructive or at least profitable.
Perhaps they would find a way to invest their resources intelligently.

It does matter in some games like poker. You will have to be wise sometimes to fold because you know it's a bad hand.

But I do agree that most of what is used in analytical games like poker also needs a good memory. In poker, there are instances where a player would show his bad habits whenever he has a good hand or a bad one. If an opponent remembers all that, he can use it to his advantage, and it will probably make the other guy lose early if someone is good at memorizing things.

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.

In sports bet you need a level of knowledge about the sport that you want to gamble on and you also need to be intelligent to know how to analyze it while in most casino games you don't need to apply your intelligence to play. Whether you use intelligence or not in gambling you will need luck to win, if you don't need luck you cannot say that it is gambling, there wouldn't be any risks involved. If you don't want to disturb yourself about predictions and analysis then you should gamble on luck based games. I don't think that we should rely so much on our intelligence when we want to gamble on skill based games as it is not enough to make us to win.

Any form of game that requires you to calculate your moves and the next step to take are games which requires the players intelligence, and how calculative the person is can determine how much they might be able to win in such game, that’s why they say those who are mathematical enlightened have a higher chance of winning in gambling that those who don’t know their left and right in gambling, those intellectual can also be regarded as skill.

I disagree with your statement because I have been gambling for years now, and I have seen so many gamblers who are intelligent, but they always find it difficult to win their bet; it's even the gamblers who aren't intelligent and who don't know the strength of football teams that win more in gambling because they are fond of playing random teams to win in their bet without fear, and it works out for them sometimes.

So everything will need knowledge to have a better result. In gambling, especially sports betting, he can not win if he doesn't know what to bet. He will end by picking the wrong team, which will make him lose. I think that is related to how he can understand what and how he searches for the thing. If he is in the right place, he will get the information he needs so he can place his bet.

Don't forget about experience because this also plays a part, although not much. Experience will give more knowledge to that person.

Intelligence and gambling are completely different things as we can't measure anyone's ability through this people still take advantage of it because with it comes the possibility of some benefit or profit few believe that skill-based games have a link to intelligence.
No doubt if someone has a good mind and can do good analysis during the game it can go positively but it's never been related to being helpful as mentioned earlier few games require good strategy and skills, which increase one's chances of winning gambling is mostly dependent on luck.
In the long run I have done a few experiments but most of them ended in failure due to this reason as a result I always believe that luck plays a more significant role than stats, skills and intelligence nevertheless it's essential to keep discussing this topic because it can also be helpful.

There is smart guy but there will be a natural who does the same with no extra effort and we can apply the same logic to gambling as well, there will be someone who can take better decisions than others and even it pays off him too but it's not something we can make it as a habit, it's just the instinct we just need to follow what our mind says and let the results decide whether we are right here or not.

You completely misunderstood my point.

First of all, I didn't say people who are intelligent win more in gambling. Rather, what I said was those gamblers who are mathematically enlightened stands a higher chance of winning in gambling and that doesn't in anyway imply that people who are not do not win or people who are mathematically enlightened are guaranteed to win their games. I only said they stand a higher chance.

That's what's called luck. Although gambling relies on skill and knowledge, luck also plays a significant role. Those who aren't smart enough can win, while those who are smart fail to win. This happens because luck varies from person to person. However, I don't think those who aren't smart will always be lucky. Smart people might win more often, but when they lose, they're just unlucky.

For example, I myself consider myself a very intelligent person and this is why I always like to go for skill based games where I challenge myself, I challenge my ability to think things through and end up victorious, sometimes, I play skill based games against friends but in reality, I am playing against myself as it teaches me to think critically around issues and come up with lasting solution, this is usually the reason I get bored after I've played slot for a while, like an hour or a bit more because the game doesn't involve any putting the brain to work.

I'm with you, bro. For me, it's one of the things we should take advantage of the most. Challenge games challenge us and make us improve more , You're right about slots All you do is wait and not think Sometimes you can get bored Challenge games will Always keep us very active.

Yes, that's completely true. Those board games are like puzzles, you need to think before you act and by so doing, you are exercising your mind and getting smart but slots games will not allow you to make any much calculation because even if you think you really have any strategy to apply, you won't get the chance to win and also to be smart in the process of playing.

But the thing is that in the end, the casino games have always odds against the gambler.

So, how are you supposed to win a game like that?, even if you are smart and calculate all the odds every time, you will end up with basically "the best move is not to play" as the strategy...

And meanwhile, someone could have put a bet that is really bad for them in terms of odds, but got lucky and won big.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The only thing that can be applied when playing slots is that you must know how to bet, that is, when to raise the bet, when to keep the minimum bet, how to do and intuit when to raise the bet, these are the things that we must determine, it is not easy because the slots are pure luck, I play them only to de-stress, it sounds crazy but I love to de-stress, we don't know what it is, if the music or the adrenaline it produces.

[Oluwa-btc]

Honestly,I doubt that perception.The fact that someone was able to play a bet/game so well goes beyond just intelligence.The casino games differs, that's the same way the players psychology and game probabilities varies.Intelligence overall is probably an addition,real bettors success don't only rely on it.

[boyptc]

Don't forget about experience because this also plays a part, although not much. Experience will give more knowledge to that person.

With bad bets and losses that we make, we become a better gambler and I agree that it's giving more knowledge to us when we go through that time.

So someone becomes more intelligent and wiser after losing a lot and they don't want that to happen again because a mistake that's been done before, better not be followed by another one.

And has to get something out of it like learning or lessons that can be applied to the next and future bets.

Of course it does. Every user who wrote otherwise is wrong and is clueless as with most topics in this section. It is a correlation and not a causation. This means that you will find smarter people playing more difficult games. However, it does not mean that if you are playing a difficult game that you are a smart person. Ironically it is the dumbest people who usually believe from correlations that they are smart.

If we also consider sports betting in this question or discussion, then we could also say that sports betting is also a type of gambling where a person requires intelligence or at least knowledge before they can start making any profit from it, because in sports betting, the results aren't always dependent on luck but your knowledge, experience, and analysis play a great role at deciding whether you are going to win or lose most of the bets you are making.

Intelligence in gambling revolves around knowing the right decision not prediction. Being able to bet the right amount, is part of intelligence, when the knowledge, and analysis appears to be sure, what next? Should it be followed with a high or low rolling. To me, that's what is left for intelligence to do, other than that, claiming that being smart influence results in sport for instance, isn't always a guaranteed accurate answer.

And you are supposed to know what the right decision is based on what if not predictions (probabilities)? Tarot and horoscopes?

[Nwada001]

I disagree with your statement because I have been gambling for years now, and I have seen so many gamblers who are intelligent, but they always find it difficult to win their bet; it's even the gamblers who aren't intelligent and who don't know the strength of football teams that win more in gambling because they are fond of playing random teams to win in their bet without fear, and it works out for them sometimes.

That's why they say betting is also a game of luck and skill combined. That dude who chooses random teams to win doesn't just go into any league to do that; they know where they usually go, where they know they won't have to measure team wins by their strength or previous victory because most of the clubs have not made a name yet. Regardless, even as they rely on luck, they can't always be winning all the time.

Not really, the type of gambling someone chooses does not necessarily measure intelligence. Some games like poker or blackjack involve strategy, probability, and decision making, so they might give an impression of being smarter than just pulling a slot machine lever..
But at the end of the day, gambling is mostly about risk and chance, not IQ..  A highly intelligent person can lose badly if emotions take over, while someone with little strategy can still get lucky..  I think what shows more about a person is how they manage their risk and discipline, not the actual game they pick…

I think you're right. Slots are literally a game of simple luck and then strategy can just assist in controlling the playing rate. You know very well how limiting the playing can actually lead to new problems as far as there are no restrictions. One can contend that it is more healthy to consider slots as a stress reliever but not a source of income. In this manner, the fun is still achieved, the adrenalin rush is experienced and within the slightest, we are also maintaining a sense of balance so we will not be incurring huge losses.

Gambling is generally said to be a game which results are determined by chance and not by how much of intelligence and knowledge you may have about it. Your intelligence doesn't give you the insight to predetermine future occurrence, right? In gambling even the most dump guy can be lucky to have better predictions that would play than the one who is termed intelligent. There are gamblers that you can almost call them experts in football analysis due to their broad knowledge about football leagues, that's intelligence, but bring that knowledge down to making them win games you'll observe that they still lose their bets in football games.

I agree. The real approach is how people minimize potential risks, meaning they have a quick thinking style. No matter how smart we are, gambling, regardless of its type, doesn't change the probability. Whether we're ordinary or legendary, the outcome remains random, even if it's carefully prepared well in advance, using simulations and the best analysis. But a single card, a last-minute goal, or a single spin can ruin everything, and the outcome won't be as we predicted.

But most of what I see is that people enjoy sports betting, and their assumptions vary, ranging from understanding detailed tactics, statistics, and the condition of the team they're betting on, even though they sometimes win and sometimes lose. At first glance, this type of betting seems fairer than most.

Being lucky is what matters in gambling. Intelligence does not. Even EV+ games have some degree.of luck running and you cannot win every game just by your skills. There are people who are playing these games everyday and they are simply grinding away their money to every roll.

Intelligence and practice matters not in gambling is what I understood. If that was the case the big brains would have conquered the casinos tables and they wouls not exist anymore.

Practice alone isn't enough, you also need luck, but I think it's all so fickle that even if you get lucky once or a few times, it won't be enough to win consistently, and in the long run, you'll still end up losing. Even if you're good at poker but have catastrophic bad luck with your cards, how can you win? I know some will try to say you can bluff and rely on experience, but I don't believe that's enough to win.
