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.
Your right. Instinct doesn't measure our wins or losses. instinct is still uncertain and most time its comes from how we feel at the moment. We might be feeling motivated and energies which will drive our instinct to the fact that we will the game. While when we feel down or depressed but need quick funds. Our instinct might put doubt in the choice of game.
Wining is luck. Our instinct can either push us to be lucky to win or to lose. Instinct is a two-way thing just like a rolling coin. But when it comes to luck it has just one positive side. We can not be lucky to fail but we can be lucky to win. Gambling win is fully lucky but that doesn't mean we did not make a good pick.
