Gambling and physiology 

Have you ever wondered why is it that gambling appears to be much more exciting than say watching TV or playing cards with your friends? According to the recent study conducted by a group of German scientists gambling can become, in fact, as additive and appealing as your most pernicious habits.
To explain without going too deep into all those chemicals released and process involved – it has to do with money. Money is something that makes you confident when you have it and willing to get or to earn when you don’t. That’s why when there is a direct thereat of losing it, the feelings sharpen and the pleasure received from winning increases several times! You have probably tried playing cards or whatever with your family or friends without money – it is a totally different reason. When you play for fun and the victory doesn’t matter that much (the process does, instead) you can be more relaxed; while when you gamble and challenge your luck and the contents of your wallet are at risk – there’re is that wild, primeval thirst for victory.
And by the way, this is the main reason for some to get attached to such way of spending time – if you have too little control of yourself; it is too easy to get involved without noticing it. The call of the wild and primitive - that’s what can make any person unconscious about the things he does.
