When we play casino games at a frequent pace, we could say that many areas of our perception improve. Like our ability to predict at least as familiarity with mathematical patterns or mathematical sequences. I think I can observe such an improvement. Do you see the same, or what do you think?

It's like most things, repetition makes us better at the task.

Do you mean that by playing in a casino we are training our intuition?
If that is what you mean, then yes, I agree. With time and experience, our intuition will develop and we will probably be able to make the right choices more often.

I think I agree on that if we talk poker but for the other casino games I really don't know as they are hugely luck dependent.

I don’t gamble anymore, but when I did, I didn’t notice any improvement. I’m terrible at math and didn’t even care about it, but I should have, since everything follows some kind of pattern, right? I relied much more on my instincts and intuition than anything else, and I can say I made more money than I lost! Good luck to you!🙂

I don't have much experience in casino games. Basically everything I played was something I managed to get for free, be it bonus money or free spins. Of course I can sometimes spend a few dollars on slots but only if poker brought me more than usual. I can't say that I noticed any improvements, because I probably just don't have enough experience, but I don't exclude that experience can positively influence a player's decision.

Yes, pattern recognition and repetition, for some tasks, can be processed without conscious effort. You'll conserve energy and may even improve your play.

Although I have been playing gambling for many years, I can't say that I have learned to predict better. If we talk about slots, I can say that they predict me much better than I predict them 🤔

I think you are playing a game where the house has an edge, and they have done their job in tricking you into believing you can see patterns.

Thats why people play slots. If you could identify patterns and game the systems nobody would play slots because they wouldnt exist.

Oh hell yes. I practice computing pot odds even in hands I am not in but go to showdown, when I see cards I can compute whether they played the hand correctly or just winged it. If I can establish a pattern, that becomes helpful info. It also sharpens intuition.

Different people perceive gambling differently and apply the knowledge and experience they gain in different ways. I think that players who keep their emotions under control have a better foundation for developing their own intuition. On the other hand, emotional players not only do not use the acquired knowledge and experience, but probably even harm themselves in contradiction to this knowledge and experience. I think that the calmer we approach the game, the better our chances 🙂

I've been playing for over 30 years. During that time I've definitely become a more skilled player than I was. And I guess this skill has come in handy in my personal life to some extent. But it's an experience I paid a lot for. Was this improvement worth the money? ... ..... it's hard to say. More likely no than yes 🙂

I definitely think this is true, but I also believe that this is what they are going for by dangling the carrot on a string.
Not sure what we think we see as a pattern is really that and not set up, but if it makes us feel good about our decisions then I'm all for it
because I expect to lose about 87% of the time regardless.

When I bagged Casino welcome bonuses back in the day (like way back 20+ years before they made them horrible) and I had to wager over the bonus money I'd play minimum stakes blackjack to satisfy the wagering requirements , and would use printed charts etc to make the right decisions. As time went by I needed the charts less, and before long not at all. I never "studied" the charts or thought about any given combinations - my brain did it all subconsciously from playing.

If you mean improving intuition, then unfortunately I have not made any progress in this regard. Of course, skills and experience probably do their job and the results are truly noteworthy, but as for the situation when you just need to flip a coin, I will be honest, I have not noticed any improvements.

I can see this happening more with poker than slots or roulette. Repetition definitely helps me understand numbers and patterns better, but I’m not sure that means we can actually predict random outcomes.
