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.

As a whole what you mentioned in your thread, of course for me it is commonplace and maybe it is true, my understanding is, indeed the brain has an important role to control emotions, human memory as a whole, the brain also functions as a means for solving problems that are faced and occur in humans in general and think and act intellectually.

However, you need to know that the emotions or limbic system of the brain that causes someone to be involved in gambling is different, I mean the limbic system in the brain stem is not the same, so the emotions that come for every gambler are not the same or medical language says (Serotonin) has a different role, so I don't believe that winning that occurs in gambling / betting is the main factor that must be controlling emotions, winning is more of a luck factor, we see a lot of people gambling without emotion, relaxed, calm, the limbic system of the human brain is not active, in fact they experience successive defeats, I believe winning at gambling is based on the luck factor.

You comprehend the brain's processes, but your understanding of gambling and the limbic system seems rudimentary. Let's analyze this further. First, you confuse the limbic system's intricacy and function in emotional responses. To assume all gamblers have the same limbic system activity is foolish. The limbic system is a complicated network that operates differently for each person

Second, attributing gambling successes to luck is incompetent. The entire field of probability theory disagrees. Even in chance games, there are mathematical frameworks. While I agree that not all gambling winners are depressed, suggesting luck is the only role is ludicrous. Strategy, game knowledge, and physiological self-control can be crucial. Gambling and the brain's complex emotional dance aren't coin flips. Perhaps expand your boundaries?
