Instincts are full of emotions that’s why I don’t let my instincts rule over my critical thinking, that will only lead me to greater losses based on my personal experience. However, there are also times that we are already betting based on the command of our instincts unconsciously, something that we can’t do nothing about it. But as much as possible, if you want to bet and maximize your profits, it’s better to bet based on your real analysis and deep assessment on the game, most particularly in sports betting.
It's very interesting the concept you have about the instinct when playing, I understand it and respect it in all its expression, however sometimes we must pay attention to it, sometimes, just to try, it may be that it is a bit of luck that we are going to have, sometimes instincts, it's a sixth sense in other areas of life can even save our lives from anything, from any danger, then given these things as it is in the casino I pay attention to those instincts or that sixth sense if I still have money available willing to lose, it's the only way.
When a man is exposed to danger all his senses are heightened to preserve life. As I understand it, instinct is also heightened at this time. Some gamblers believe that stress during gambling losses can also affect the intensification of feelings, but I do not think so. It seems to me that gambling has a greater impact on the emotional component, so trusting your instinct at this time is not the best solution. It is better to act according to your rules without breaking them because of the change of emotional background.
