Was it a Gut's feeling a Mathematical calculation or a Coincident?

[Hatchy]

Instincts or calculations or even the best strategies employed in gambling only works because of a major factor backing them up and that is luck. I know sometimes we might have this feeling like it isn't luck but how much of that analysis or strategy we might be using to gamble but the truth is that luck works a role we all just don't know. From the op, the winner might be on win and to him his calculations or instinct was what made him win. He should try buying another ticket with same instinct and let's see the probability of him winning the next. This will only prove him right or wrong. But aside that, luck is the major factor for all wins.

I hear my friend who plays one of the games that requires good calculations but that will not guarantee it either because my friend is also an expert in mathematics but there has been no big win obtained so that's why luck does play a big role in all types of gambling.

Games in gambling are games for the foolish not for the intelligent ones. Or at least games that need insane amount of luck. The most intelligent person you know would not win a jackpot from lottery or whatever game it is he desires to win in gambling. In fact since he is intelligent he might even not gamble in the first place since he knows already that his chances are low. They can calculate how much chance they have but they can never calculate how to win a game in gambling.

Does a human have the instinct to feel or know the outcome of gambling?  In this article it was said that the winner have the positive guts after buying the ticket and eventually won $2m or is it just a coincident?

This is just a coincidence, my friend, unless he is a seer, I will never believe any special appraisal credited to him, he was just lucky. I like you to know that even if the chance of winning in some tough cases is 1/100 billion, it is still possible for someone to still win. This is not about power, better reasoning or talent/creativity, but for grace and luck. Anyone may now start interpreting what comes to their heads eventually but gut/instinct paid off simply because he was willing to risk (reasonably or not), so I give in that respect.

Gut feeling or whatever we feels, still base on emotions so there is no mathematical calculations there. So in a sense, yeah, you feel something and then you go by it, and "luckily", you win. So there is no explanation but just pure luck on our side.

And we all know that most of the games are just base on pure luck, and so it will still be a factor to look at. And most of the time, gamblers really look for any reasons, even if we lose we blame someone, everyone except ourselves. But when we won big, we says that we just got lucky.

I agree with you that gambling cannot be separated from luck, even though we analyze or predict seriously, but if luck is not with us at that time then everything will be a defeat. I have experienced many things like this, especially in betting. Of course we will think realistically on which team we will bet on, analyze the strength of both teams, player composition, meeting records and the last game they showed and so on, but still it led me to defeat because I was unlucky at that time. Analysis and so on are only supporting factors, maybe that's one thing that can make us confident when betting. But in the end we can't rely on it completely, because this is very much related to luck once again.

So in case where you are buying a lottery or scratch ticket, would you abide by your gut's feeling whether to purchase to bet on the combination of a number?  Do you believe that instinct can help a person win in a chance based gambling games?

I honestly think in this context, instincts plays a vital role here than mere mathematical calculations, and yes instincts help one to win big but not on a daily basis cause in gambling there are alot of tactics that one could use to ascertain a win but necessarily your chances of lucks are majorly the reason why your guts feelings comes out with a results .when you want to gamble or place bets with instincts or the feeling that your guts says you'll actually win what accompany it is luck cause if you're having low chances of lucks on your side alongside your feelings you'll definitely end up loosing that game entirely but when luck are on your side that game it's sure to be a win for you.so in buying lottery ticket I think I'll place my mind on my guts feelings and instincts and if it's direct me to purchase it I'll do so then..

Call it math or superstition, these things are coincidental.

I can have a gut feeling that today is going to rain and it might and it might not. But if one fine morning I have a gut feeling that its going to snow in a desert, it might be a wrong one completely. This is all probability based on past records to predict and although it seems like its math, in reality its not as simple as 2+2=4 - there is always the luck factor making these more complicated.

Hence its useless to wrack your brains over this just accept that the guy was lucky and won big. Dont try to replicate that, ever.

Scratch tickets usually have a low probability of winning for bettors, so it’s never really about math...it’s all about luck. I saw a movie before where they found a loophole in the scratch ticket system and took advantage of it. If you’re interested, the title is "Jerry and Marge Go Large." But in real life, this kind of loophole likely doesn't exist. It’s all about luck, and we should keep that in mind to stay realistic.

Another article caught my attention and wanted to share it with you to know your thoughts about the subject matter.

So in case where you are buying a lottery or scratch ticket, would you abide by your gut's feeling whether to purchase to bet on the combination of a number?  Do you believe that instinct can help a person win in a chance based gambling games?

In gambling, we make use of our instincts to a lot in predicting games, after your supposes calculations and reference to any data available, you still have to follow your instincts  in order to make choices. So I believe that securing a win in a gambling activity is a product of instincts mixed with a great deal of luck, unless the person in question has an external source of instincts(Maybe an insider information).

For me, the person involved in the story just got a lucky coincidence that he has chosen the winning scratch ticket and has nothing to do with his gut's feeling.  Everyone has a positive gut feeling whenever they are engaging in chance-based gambling games and a majority of them fail miserably losing all their bankroll and even beyond that.

Your instincts cannot be correct all the time, that's why we make mistakes as individuals and in a gambling setting, you would properly agree with me that there are wins and losses and all those are a product of instinctual activities, so the day was his lucky day. Funny enough, the guy has not included how many times his instincts gave him losses, else it would have been obvious his guts can be negative most times.

Mathematical calculations have never been a part of gambling because everything that happens is purely coincidental, OP. I’m sure every gambler thinks they’re going to win, but the reality is most end up losing. Sure, some people hit the jackpot, but that doesn’t mean everyone’s strategy will pay off. If it did, we’d all be rich by now, and many people would become gamblers.

When we win, it just means we got lucky that day. But when we lose, it’s a sign that our instincts fail. In the end, luck is the real game-changer here—deciding who walks away a winner and who goes home empty-handed.

hunch sometimes brings us luck with our belief where we play but not always. I always bet on sports gambling with hunch but by looking at the team strategy first to be more sure with the hunch of the target to win. different from playing slots my hunch is always bad and right, I'm not lucky in slot games. hunch can be a choice where we are placed well with introspection

[nara1892]

I think it is clear that it is nothing more than a win that happened based on luck so that he could choose the right scratch ticket that led to the win, and if the win was indeed due to skill then he could repeat the same method, but I am sure that the results would be different, unless luck came again.

On the other hand, hunches or instincts can indeed lead a gambler to victory, but usually it only happens occasionally or very rarely, the point is that I think instinct and luck are related because luck is what makes him choose the right ticket.

But not always give us the win because sometimes the hunch is not a real hunch and only a fake that telling us we have a better time to gamble. That makes people chase their luck and try to win which will still difficult for them to win some money. Maybe they are an expert in mathematic so they can calculate what it needs and if they win, that will considered their luck comes to them. They don't have to feels over confident and say they are an expert because next time, they can not be right anymore.

Maybe we have to admit that every human being has advantages and disadvantages, just as in this case, a person also has gut feelings, instincts and the like, which is an extraordinary thing for that person, just like instincts in gambling, what that person has is one good luck to him.

I also had a feeling like that person experienced. My instincts were very positive about winning. At that time I placed a bet on soccer sports. I was very sure that the winning score would happen to the club that I believed in, It turned out that my hunch was 100% correct and I won the bet, unfortunately I didn't win millions of dollars, because at that time I didn't have much money that I could bet.

That's why what happened in the article, I'm sure people here have felt that way once, that's good luck and our instinctive luck can lead us to winning gambling.

Gambling is for fun and is done by all both intelligent and dull because it doesn't need any skills or calculations but pure luck. An intelligent person will gamble for fun but he will be discplined and have a gambling budget to show his intelligence.

However gambling is something that when you lack self control over your gambling activities, ypu will definitely increase the number of your losses and become addicted. This is why any gambler that believes in luck playing a major role in gambling will limit the way he gambles and will not put profit as his priority when gambling.

Most of the times, gambling have been based on luck but it still doesn't mean the place of our guts doesn't count or paly out at some instance, there are times you can actually have a good feeling about a certain game via your guts accompanied by your experience at some times and it really does work doesn't mean that gambling isn't only about lucky, it can be guts and sometimes even experience and some other factors.

calculations can some times paly a role gambling and its actually a valid factor that plays a really hug role gambling except  in few situations where luck exclusively becomes the only determining factor so i still don't rule out the place of guts and calculations in g ambling because they do work.

But aside that, luck is the major factor for all wins.

Gamblers' instincts are sometimes more precise than other gamblers' analysis results, but everything also depends on the luck factor. Someone says that today's bet will win, sometimes it's true, sometimes it's wrong, but it can't be used as a guide for anyone. Relying on instinct in gambling is often done by those who bet on lotteries or luck-based games such as dice, crashes and others, but sometimes it also happens in sports betting.

You'll often get someone coming in and guessing the score on a particular match. They are sometimes right, not infrequently they are wrong, there are even competitions about guessing scores held by several casinos or sportsbooks. Guessing the score relies on instinct, but involving previous data can also help.

Does a human have the instinct to feel or know the outcome of gambling?  In this article it was said that the winner have the positive guts after buying the ticket and eventually won $2m or is it just a coincident?

Sometimes there are cases where someone is sure that he can win the bet if he takes the bet and finally he wins, but there are also cases where someone is sure that if he takes the bet then he can win the bet, but the result is he loses. So this is not a matter of instinct or belief, but how a person's luck affects the bet he takes. If from the beginning he has luck in the bet, then even if he doesn't care about the results of the bet he will still win big.

Truth is we all know that gambling is basically based on luck but sometimes we do have positive feelings about something and it turns out to be so, it's also true that we can have this feeling yet it turnout to be the wrong choice, there is no justification for that it's just luck.

Whether the man in this case claims it's because he had a positive gut, it's either their is a conspiracy about the win or he was just lucky.

Exactly i will say it all boils down to luck, Though some folks to claim that with experience can easily predict the game with some mathematical method and stuff, but the true still remain that, no matter how long one has been in gambling without luck he or she will definitely loss, that`s one can keep winning or losing always because luck can be in one side sometime or it can be one side sometime .

Well, that's right, my friend, it means that instinct or instinct can lead someone to victory but it is also very possible to lead someone to defeat, in the end what still affects the results in the game is not how strong your instinct is but how lucky you are when running the session.

Because even though you have a strong instinct or even for example these signs enter your dreams which make you very sure that it is a good sign to bring you to victory if you are involved in betting but in the end defeat is still very possible, I have experienced this where I even dreamed that if I chose a certain number then I would win but it turned out the results were still disappointing. This means that instinct or instinct cannot guarantee victory at all.
