Usually VERY right/accurate.......

Many don't believe in it, but I definitely do.
Either it's something that is "Real", or I have just been very lucky and run across many coincidences in the instances when it doesn't relate to sports or gambling.......

Gut feeling, a great way to lose big gambling.

People have been trained to "trust" their instinctive feelings in life. Unfortunately, this method is particularly poor when it comes to winning at gambling.

It's amazing how 49% bettors love to talk about how they "knew" a game was going to cover etc. after they win.

lol. so true. ive never understood gamblers who say they "cap by feel".huh?nothing beats doing your homework because that "feeling" may kill ya.lol.i do love your style fezzik. i was at the stardust last september when you went against david stratton.jk quizzed you hard about what you do and you were great. i said hello to you after but the mindless lemmings that rush the table for thier free picks swept me away and im too short to swat them away.lol.i had questions for you tho. a month later i met papa joe and he used that same lame "feel" routine and i did talk to him afterwards and he just said his partner gives him plays and if papa joe "feels" it he bets it. lmfaoooo.why is it when talking to a pro about how they cap a sport its like asking for the vault combo at fort knox?~RG

There are all different ways to cap, and I am sure there are pros in this forum who would share a few "pearls" here and there...

It actually appears that you could give many of us some pointers...:103631605

As far as gut feelings, I do believe in them strongly...

My gut feeling, like say on a make it or break it play is usually spot on.

If I need to win I usually do. Logic and statistics would say otherwise, but I am not complaining. :103631605

Your gut feelings are often connected to your subconcious. At first you gut feelings in sports betting will leave you wrong, but as time goes on and you learn more, your gut feeling and your subconcious will take all that information into making that initial response. In other words, the more experienced and better you get, the more accurate your "gut feeling" is going to become.

I once read a book that dealt with victims of CON ARTISTS. What I found to be most surreal is the following deduction that was reached after each victim was interviewed...

In all 10 cases, the victims of these CON MEN were of above average IQ, half men and half women, and they all had the same thing happen to them while in the process of being conned..

Each of them said at one point their "GUT FEELING" told them to RUN.

However, their rational side kept telling each of them that these Con Men were well dressed, educated, and had nice offices. In essence, they rationalized away their GUT FEELINGS.

Had ANY of them listened to their GUT FEELINGS over the rational side of the brain, they would NEVER have been CONNED....
