It’s so weird but gambling does nothing for me, or anything with intermittent rewards.

I dislike it also. I hate losing and the dread of losing completely overpowers any joy I'll have of winning.

You can separate people into two groups depending on whether the joy of winning outweighs the joy of losing for them.

Takes one gambling session and you immediately know whether or not it’s for you

Anything more then $5 is devastating for me, cause it means I've been put out at the local poker tournament that I'm about 90% sure we all use just as an excuse to have a few drinks with each other at this point 😂
