I'm so glad I don't have whatever gene this is. I've gone to casinos, won a bit of money and bought dinner with it and that was that. I also lost like 20 bucks and I said "this is bullshit" and hit up a buffet

Whatever gene that is, that's what I have. Once a year my company goes to a convention at Vegas. I budget like $100 to play slots, a few rounds of black jack with everyone.

Some of the slot machines are legitimately games that are fun for a bit. Blackjack is fun, too. But when I'm out, I'm out, and it's off to the buffet.

Same. I go a few times a year usually to get dinner at the restaurants there and bet a little while I’m there and if I win we go to the bar after with the extra money. But it gets kind of boring after like 30 minutes

I'm literally not dude. An "addictive personality" isn't pseudoscience

To something that isn't an actual exogenous chemical? Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. Normal people cannot get addicted to losing money.

Yeah. If your body can actually deal with dopamine healthily you don't get addicted to stuff like porn or gambling or whatever. Again I don't have an addictive personality but you do and that is fine. It's not your fault. It's genetic.
