Lets be honest here. Instinct has nothing to do with gambling. You might be in a losing streak, but then your 'instinct' says that you might win the next bet. And when you lose the bet, you have a stronger instinct that you will win the next one. But that is just an excuse or a way of convincing yourself to keep on gambling and chasing your profit. If you do end up winning the next bet, it was not because of your instinct, but it was because you just got lucky! Never rely on instinct when gambling. Instead look at the numbers and your finances.
Gambling is something that only requires skill in some games and also luck in other games, so indeed relying on instinct in gambling can be very misleading and lead us to addiction, in my opinion statistics and analysis of games and bets can actually provide a stronger basis for making wise decisions for us in gambling or betting, in my opinion, those who gamble should be able to think realistically and also have limits so that at least we are not too involved in the losses that exist due to gambling.
