Although most of the time we end up losing, there are those moments when we actually win big, and of course, that feels great!
I’m just curious, since we all have different ways of enjoying our wins, let’s talk about the positive side of gambling for a change, which is winning.

So, how do you guys spend your winnings? Don’t worry, feel free to be honest - after all, it’s your money, so it’s your right to spend it however you want.

I do not tend to reward myself for gambling because that is a bad idea.

You are basically tricking your brain's reward system by pavlov conditioning yourself with a reward for a certain activity. So in this certain case (gambling), your brain wires gambling as conditional prerequisite for the reward and you end up basically turning yourself into a gambling addict by accident.

I imagine that a lot of people accidently condition themselves daily in various ways, not only related to gambling. And they do not even realize they are doing it.
