Many users claim that they play for fun. At the same time, they do not hide the fact that all the money is lost one way or another, quickly or slowly. If you are losing money, then how can you enjoy it?
Gamblers get pleasure only when they win, because "positive" neurotransmitters like endorphins are produced only in this case. When they lose, gamblers "get" only cortisol and similar "negative" neurotransmitters. It is technically (biologically) impossible to get pleasure from losses.I could never understand this.
You would understand this if you realized that losing gamblers are just lying about "getting pleasure from losing."But people generally do not play for research purposes. People just place bets more or less randomly, lose money and claim that they enjoy it. Is this stupidity or deceit?
First of all, it is a gambler's self-deception. Who wants to feel like a loser? No one. That is why all these excuses for losing are invented. Maybe such people like the atmosphere of the game? But then why not play free games? But no, gamblers rarely play free games?
I have already spoken about this before. Want the atmosphere (pleasure) of gambling? Then play on an emulator (without betting real money) of gambling.As you can see, gambling "for nothing" is meaningless for gamblers, which means they are not playing for pleasure.
Why? The answer is paradoxical - because you can't lose money there, lol! And after that you say that gamblers are reasonable people.
I would call these people "emotional".
