    The Oddity of Gambling

    So weird. When you're losing, losing a pick seems like the end of the world and you celebrate wins like you just cured cancer. When you're winning, a loser doesn't phase you. Wins are expected and bring less joy. This is a stupid game we play ...



    And we'll never stop.

    Just so weird. I've been on both ends - shit losing streaks, good winning streaks and it really is dumb that you feel more alive probably when you're losing.

    I agree. Every time you lose or have a bad losing day after having forced bets, you remind yourself how bad it feels in contrast to the wins and how it is just "not worth it". Then the very next day you can't wait for the action to begin again.
