Read the Lastest Research Before You Toss Your Next $ into a Gambler's Ring

It could be as simple as a few tickets a month bought with pooled dollars at work. But it could also be the beginning of an addiction for some employees.

According to the Central Michigan University gambling tends to be a likely first step to addiction. Do people where you work spend time checking scores, scratching numbers, and updating their ticket stash?

Researcher Tim Otteman, a popular authority on sports’ gambling, speaks of sports gambling as “March Madness.” Sports gambling in pools at work,  betting on the Internet or gambling directly with a bookmaker, sports gambling is one of the most popular sports participation activities in America.


 

At first glance,  seems rather harmless to toss $5 or $10 into the gambler’s ring, in reality it potentially starts your slippery slope toward gambling addiction. That’s so because the brain kicks into gear to rewire itself with your first act and that act  can propel you into dangerous addictions.

Each time you consume another drink … you grow dendrite cell connectors in your brain for more drinking. The same goes for eating certain food, reading pornography, or doing other addictive behaviors. When it comes to the brain… what you do leads to who you become.

It’s so because the human brain is shaped and rewired nightly – as you sleep - based on each experience you encounter the previous day. Still want that ticket to bet on the next football game?  Or are you choosing to do more of what wires your brain for a truly winning way?
