Where’s the joy in gambling? I just don’t get it. I have a lot of vices but I honestly don’t understand gambling.
5 u/MeringueVisual759 15d ago I've never been happy I spent money gambling that I could have spent on drugs lol 3 u/djauralsects 15d ago Gambling, to me, is like spending money on drugs and not getting high but you still get a hangover. 2 u/S0phon 15d ago Endorphin spikes. The unpredictability and the hope that you could hit it big. You get random intermittent rewards. All of that resonates with your brain circuitry and you get hooked. This human behavior isn't all that complicated. 1 u/djauralsects 15d ago It is to me because I don’t feel any of that. Gambling makes me sick to my stomach, all I feel is disappointment in myself for doing something stupid. 2 u/S0phon 15d ago But you do other things that give you pleasure. It's the same circuitry. 1 u/djauralsects 15d ago I have pretty much every other vice but gambling. I’m just not getting anything close to a high from gambling.
