Trusting your intuitions might make you feel like you are into something only to find out that you are just chasing your shadow, funny enough there are times you'd actually feel like they are actually working but it's just luck. Having knowledge pays off even though it's not always going to help but most of the times it would put you in profit, this is why it's important for gamblers to go for the kind of betting that involves the use of skills rather than luck or intuition. Betting on sports with knowledge on football increases your chances of winning.
Even with games that’s dependent on skill, you’d still need luck at some point, and sometimes you’d even need to trust your own instincts and intuition. This is because these elements work hand in hand in order to secure you a win. For example, you’re into card games, which is believed to be a skill based game, you’d still need the ability to be able to effectively predict your opponent’s moves, which at this point, you’d still need luck and to trust your instincts and just hope they’re right.
