It is interesting what you say about ...Hi Cassini,<br /><br />It is interesting what you say about gambling being a science or an art. The intriguing part for me is how they can or cannot work together - perhaps compliments one another. Social psychology clearly shows that much human behaviour is open to manipulation - simply by the way we are socialized - through habituation we are likely to do certain things as if second nature - and they can be manipulated or influenced to our detriment as bettors.(Someone waves so we wave back - even if we don't know who they are). Imagine that in betting terms. What did I do that for? It is quite concerning how much of our behaviour/thinking is unconscious. That's why it is good to write a blog or keep a diary of not only your bets but your thoughts leading to a bet simply for what it can tell us in the cold light of day. Like Sigmund Freud, perhaps we can make the unconscious - conscious - and learn. Writing as a primary source of data - certainly helps inidicate important factors that often go by unnoticed. Also, I find listening to myself whether talking to others - or internal dialogue - is very important. The times I have stated the major worries regarding a certain bet and then - not listened - and go on to backed a loser (because I ignored myself)is ridiculous. I think we should listen to those unconscious feelings. The unconscious is like a caveman with the best computer you could ever want: in ways it is stupidly rigid but very effecient. It can analyse information so fast and effectively it is amazing. As I noted one of my blog posts the conscious mind interprets 40 pieces of data per second. The unconscious 20 million! The problem is that we rarely notice it is there at all. But it often tries to tell us - in those feelings: our caveman with his computer may not seem to shout too loud (he does but we don't notice) but make no mistake he tries to keep us informed. An experiment comes to mind where a participant was asked to state where an employee was wearing a name badge. The person said they didn't know - but their hand touched their chest - the unconscious mind was saying: 'I know'.TOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12558663091579221921noreply@blogger.com
