When you confidently bet on a game that is obviously a loser, you most likely avoid excessive excitement. Perhaps you want to lose subconsciously and never return to this type of game again. You know, our psyche is multi-layered and also consists of a subconscious personality. And this subconscious personality can be in conflict with your consciousness. And being in conflict with consciousness, the subconscious may well want to lose. Perhaps the subconscious of a particular player does not like gambling at all? Of course, this may be a coincidence, an accident. But on the other hand, we understand that in some cases, betting on an obviously losing event is far from an accident.

Psychology counts about 16 models of behavior in each person, it is possible to even assert with a stretch that in each of us there are about 16 subpersonalities. And this is without taking into account that, as you correctly wrote, consciousness is not our brain center. The brain is a separate organ that is constantly lazy, and consciousness tries to drive and motivate it. Therefore, strong conflicts within the personality are really possible. Especially when the brain wants quick money and to be lazy, and consciousness sees this, but weak willpower cannot change the situation.

I recently listened to a video podcast by a neurophysiologist named Savelyev (Professor Savelyev). He explained why all people are different and why it is impossible, for example, to build socialism or communism (or another social system in which all people are equal) in practice. 🧑‍🔬

At the same time, Savelyev claimed that there are many more than 16 types of human personality. The human brain consists of a large number of different parts, and each part can be very different in each individual person. A different number of neurons, a different number of layers of neurons, a different number of synapses, and so on... The brain in nature really does evolve separately from the human body (in fact, human bodies are almost identical in people). In addition, it is absolutely true that the brain is very lazy (this is due to the fact that thought processes require very large energy costs compared to other processes in the body). 🦵

Therefore, in essence, it is impossible to predict how the human brain will behave in each specific situation. Yes, it is quite possible that the brain will consciously boycott the opportunity to win in a game of chance. It seems paradoxical, but it is quite possible. At the same time, such psychological behavior may be characteristic of some people and not characteristic of others. ✨

Is it possible to deceive your brain? It is very difficult, since the brain is very cunning. However, there are special psychological practices that can help gamblers. For example, you can keep a detailed diary, describing the situations that arise during your game. Perhaps this will allow you to figure out why you bet in this way and not otherwise. In fact, there is most likely no mysticism here.🤹
