I know that many users do not have a gaming system, that is, an ordered set of game rules. Instead, they rely on intuition in gambling. It is believed that intuition or insider knowledge can help in difficult cases. However, in such cases, I usually cite the opinion of one old stock speculator who said that the markets are counter-intuitive, intuition does not work here, strict and reasonable rules work here. This was said about trading, but the reasonableness of this phrase is so great that it is quite applicable to gambling as well.
And what do you think - what is the role of intuition in gambling? How often do you rely on it? Can relying on intuition lead to long-term success in gambling?

I think intuition is a valuable skill in gambling and can be quite useful in some situations, especially when it comes to recognizing patterns or making quick predictions, but it must be combined with solid analysis and game strategy.

I don't think we should ignore intuition and leave it out of our betting entirely; I consider it to be a kind of "special skill" that can also be developed and improved over time through practice and experience. But, as I said before, you can trust your intuition and use it as an additional tool, but never as the only source of decision-making, because relying too much on intuition will certainly lead you to significant losses with irrational decisions.

You made a good point mate, intuition is another gamble strategy that helps in most cases, even in sport betting. Majority of the time reoccurrence cease to happen and we see big teams taking defeat from small teams, yet there are gamblers who bet on those small teams to win the game.  Based on analysis and form of the big team it's difficult to predict that they would experience defeat from such team but at the end they do and time like this if you follow your instincts rather than analysis you'll definitely smile at the outcome of the game. So we cannot do away with intuition just like that as far as gambling is concerned, it helps to make some insane decisions that later ends up in our favour.  However it shouldn't be consider as our  major determinant of decision making but as an alternative just as you've said.
