3. When our brain believes there will be a positive outcome, it releases endorphins, it’s important for us to understand this
Endorphins push us to the positive. So we could get ourselves in a loop, meaning we get excited about all the money we’re going to win by betting on the Cardinals to beat the 49ers because the Cards are a +450 money line underdog.
Those endorphins tell us, “Do it! You’re going to be rich!” So, of course, we do it and then, when the 49ers beat the Cardinals by 30 we fall into a survival depression because we realize we needed the money we bet to pay rent.
But when it comes to gambling you're giving yourself false hope, This is gambling we can hope but we cannot change the way things will happen so it's better to let things be, It's better just to learn acceptance of the result whatever it is
Doing something like the above doesn’t mean we have a gambling problem. It means we have to understand how our brain works. Then, we have to realize that our brain doesn’t understand things the way our mind and consciousness do.
We can then pull our brains back by saying something simple like, “Brain, calm down.”
Not all of us are good at controlling our minds and I don't think I will work if that's too much pressure, All we need to is just gamble what we can afford to lose and do not pressure our bet to win, We're not enjoying the game and it kills the purpose of giving yourself entertainment through gambling, just roll the dice or bet the game and if you want to cheer go on but don't give yourself false hope.
