Ziexor Posted 28 October, 2016 Share Posted 28 October, 2016 This short movie is not about gambling addiction but substance addiction. Because gambling addiction and substance addiction work on the same brain reward center i think this movie Its important to watch to understand addiction and how Its affect the brain. Scientist have proved that gambling and substance abuse affect the brain? http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=117423 Link to comment

AndyD Posted 8 December, 2016 Share Posted 8 December, 2016 The feeling of happines when you win can play a bad trick with gambler. Before starting I've read many articles and seen similar videos. Dopamine, which is released after victories, causes euphoria and happiness. This effect decreases and then, when a person has not been playing for a long time, he or she starts feeling bad, memories begin to torment him or her, the brain actively synthesizes dopamine to remind you how happy you were while gambling and promises this happiness again. People start gambling again in order to get another dose of happiness and become slaves of gambling games. A similar situation can be described for other types of additions: alcohol, drugs, and smoking. All of them share the same feature: one believes that the next dose will make him or her happy. Thus, dopamine plays with us, making us dependent on one or the other thing (source - casinoz.club/content/how-to-get-rid-of-gambling-addiction-582.html). To my mind it depends on us. For example, I play twice a week, feel no addiction and I make small bets in order not to lose everything I have. Link to comment
