Why does God punish us with losing instead of the books?

[Otters27]

Shouldn't books and casinos be punished for taking advantage of the human brain and exploiting it?

[VeggieDog]

Well, #1, there is no god. #2: if you're losing, try betting on the other team. Handicap the game, make your choice, and then bet on the other team.

That won't work either. Either way is dart throwing and dart throwers lose by the vig. To win, you have to eliminate the vig and put it on your side. If the spread is +8-110 go ahead and find +9-110. That's the equivalent of +8+110 and now you have the big on your side. Become the book.

Every business/corporation exploits the human brain to some degree or other. Millions of dollars are spent on marketing research and advertising alone because the companies know they'll make that money back in spades by appealing to your conscious and unconscious desires.

Nike shoes aren't really going to make you jump any higher or run any faster, but you'll pay a king's ransom for a pair sneakers with the Jordan logo on them when you can get another pair of equal or higher quality craftsmanship for a mere fraction of the price.

Every fast food joint has hacked your brain's biological drive to survive by lacing their foods with high calorie fatty substances that were scarcely obtained by you ancestors many millennia ago. You're in no danger of starving yet you consume them eagerly because your brain's dopamine reward system is triggered.

It goes on and on. Books are no worse in my estimation, and if they lost to their customers they would've went out of business before the concrete was poured, and we'd be left having to watch a lame Sunday afternoon NFL game with no action on it.

Ya. Fast food and sugar companies as well

Not God. Gods. The Gambling Gods will punish for your sins. Stick to bankroll management or you will go to Gambling Hell.

Lol Otters c'mon man!!! Did you hit a cold streak? If so, take a few days off...

Anyway, God isn't who you think it is... I'm starting to think Demiurge is the one that created this slave planet. That is why the humans in charge made deals with this evil entity to do evil to other humans so we will all suffer and produce "loosh".

This evil entity and his soldiers survive on human sufferings, no joke. It feeds them. They get energized by loosh like how we get energized by dopamine and love.

Probably little too deep for Players Talk but it is what it is...

Gambling is bad not suppose to do it according to the Bible
