Try to stick to your instincts as a gambler

[Hatchy]

Today i decided to try one of my sweet predictions in the EPLgames. 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, this is common amongst gamblers as we try our best to loss everything in one round. You shouldn't regret or blame your self over this. That because what if you had left it without cashing out and eventually you have lost?
You see some more reason why gambling more of luck.
When we gamble, we shouldn't regret any move  or think probably that a recent move must have given use a win.
Yea it might be true but if luck doesn't play in, we might as well loss the funds. It's a normal thing to cash out very early as a gambler as this will help you reduce your risk of losing all.

Avoiding second guessing yourself is important, but just as you are mad that things did not go your way, if you had been correct then right now you will be happy about cashing out earlier.

So unless you know very well what you are doing you are better off just making your bet and sticking to it to the end, as every single time you take a decision like that you are allowing the casinos to get an edge over you, since casinos would not offer you the option to cash out early, if it was not in their best interest to do it.

I mean that was pretty normal I guess and happened to most of the gamblers, there are just really sometimes when your emotions could hit and you are just afraid of losing then end up going on the safer bets or maybe instantly cashing out just to make it safe right. I have many similar situations because when I gamble what I really don't want to happen is to lose my control on my emotions, like losing it and end up losing all of my money on the bet because I get frustrated in the bets and want to get my money back.



It happened to me a lot of times already, but I would agree to just stick with your instinct on a bet rather than regretting it in the end but still, if you think that you already make a good amount on your betting I would easily cashout that money, then continue growth the small amount again to accumulate profit. As you can see I usually do 500PHP of bet which is around 10$ only low bets with a much higher return, with the strategy I could continue with any bet with no problem even if I lose since I could easily recover from it.

Not just in gambling, I think that in most aspects of your life, it would be a good advice to stick to your instincts, I can't count how many stuff that lead to me doing stupid things if I didn't follow my gut and so far, it paid off so far because I didn't got into any trouble. With gambling though, it's a bit different for me since I don't do much betting but when I do, definitely my instincts are going to be useful. It's also worth noting that there's going to be some times that it's not your gut that's talking to you and you would be doing some decisions that are totally wrong.

Another thing that we should consider is that we'll also going to be factoring in reality, I mean look at the teams that you're betting, your instincts might say you bet on the higher odds but the reality is that they're playing against the strongest team on the league and it's not great that you should waste your time when the obvious pick is already there.

I find that the best way to prevent a early cashout, is to not watch the game live or to look at the bets on the site.

You can see the odds for the game changing in real-time, while the game are being played and that might tempt you to cashout early... so avoid watching that.

I record the games and I watch them the next day. I can then free up some time to do something else and also forward through a game that are boring.

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".

The reality is that most people won't stand a chance, instincts or not, against the vast data analysis that is performed and applied by all the biggest bookmakers out there. Sure, you will get lucky on occasion and beat the odds, but these bookmakers are winning on the long term because they've got this "brain power" processing their odds. In this scenario your instincts were overwhelmingly telling you to cash out, which put it at direct odds with your original instinct of how it would play out, so you wouldn't know which instinct to follow in the scenario given.

I don't like regretting my actions because there is nothing I can do to change it. OP is unhappy that he cashed out because he could have won higher if he had left the game. But we fail to recall that sometimes cashing out is a good option because the game might end up unfavourable. If the said bet didn't play like it happened, OP would have regretted that he didn't cash out. Some gamblers are high-risk takers who are willing to take any form of risk just to win the highest stage. Low-risk takers are always comfortable with little or average wins because they don't have the guts to take high risks. OP congratulations on your win because many people have not won any game for a long time.

So it needs to be instilled in the mindset of always being complacent about what has been obtained.
People who are too greedy and always lack with the victory produced, let alone it is a big victory, in the end it will only be a looming defeat.

Seeing some gamblers who are just squandering their money in pursuit of uncertain winnings, they don't have any guidelines.
In the end, they will lose it all and regret it.

Too bad, but when I started to gamble, there was one a wise man who advise me not to change my bet. As in the beginning I will bet on horse racing, but suddenly I will scratch my bet and doesn't want to put money on it because it was a long shot. But damn, after that it won and so I learn my valuable lessons there.

And so moving forward, I don't change or do early cash out. If I lost the game, then I will take that L. Instead of like cashing out early and then later regret it. So yes, you should trust your instinct as a gamble no matter what the odds are.

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.

Because you are right today, won't make you right the next time, even if your instinct is at work again, do you know how many millions of gamblers are in this world? Many rely on their instinct as you are and yet they make all the mistakes possible, they end up losing a lot to gambling.

Insticnt, strategies, patterns, vunerabilities, all these are just for a fraction of time in gambling space, they don't always work for everyone as time goes on, not for long before you realize that you are on your own, and everything you think you knew will disappear in a flash of second.

so true. Sometimes instinct will grow together with greed. and also sometimes because of our belief in a particular team. So it could be that the instinct that emerges is the opposite and not in accordance with what we want.

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.

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.

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.

[Dewi Aries]

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.

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.

[Nrcewker]

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.
