1. Our brain is designed to help us survive
Our brains have one goal. We create sub-goals, we may want to start a family, get rich, get a better job, make winning bets, etc.
That's a universal and most common dream of every man, We all want to be successful, keep a happy home and maintain positivity in our daily routines(Be it bet or Gambling and every other activity)
But to our brain, that’s all the same goal, to survive. When the brain loses the drive to survive, we fall into a depression.
No human on earth can exempt a state of depression, one's our plans and goals for survival are getting contradicting as planned we all become depressed, so it is normal.
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.
Do people still think it is of good decision to take money needed for our basic survival to gamble or bet? it is not advisable to do such, everyone knows the risk attached to bet and gambling so why take the risk.
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.
Do you know of addiction, one's a person gets addicted what do you say it becomes? Lets call a spade a spade" If it gets to a point where a person uses his money for rent to gamble I will call it addiction and I see no other name given to such act.
We can then pull our brain back by saying something simple like, “Brain, calm down.”
Obviously and try as much to avoid getting addicted, don't use money needed for basic survival to gamble
