I personally experienced the instinct to be right in most of the bets. I used to watch the odds and different betting options available for a match. By the time my inner mind used to say that the specific team would win, I just kept that in mind. I've experienced it several times, and the prediction used to be correct, and I never used to bet upon the instinct. If I go forward and bet, the same turns out to be a loss. I've felt it, and even I've given suggestions to friends when they pick the other odds. Later they used to say, I should've chosen the odd suggested by you. When we think freely, the same turns out to be a win, and when we're to risk money, our minds will have the fear of losing, which doesn't let us choose the odds with free thinking.
