No matter how big or small, almost every decision we make as human beings revolves around emotion. We may not choose to admit it, but emotions play a huge role in our decision-making, no matter the context. In a gambling environment, decisions and choices made are even more blurred by emotion because of the knowledge that money is at risk and can be easily lost. However, in order to be successful, emotional thoughts need to be thrown away in order to allow bettors to make decisions strictly off of their intuition. Gamblers who listen to their initial decision and bet by using their intuition are more efficient and more successful in the long run. Gamblers who over analyze their initial thoughts and second guess their intuition unknowingly create a stressful and elongated gambling process that eventually leads to them losing money.
