The Illusion of Control in Sports Betting

Your brain is actively hallucinating control every time you place a bet. It is wild to see

how many of us are turning to sports betting apps just to survive the unemployment crisis,

but the psychology behind it is terrifying. It is called cognitive distortion. You start believing

your random rituals actually change the game's outcome, even though it is total chance.

Your brain craves that instant dopamine hit and completely ignores the long-term crash.

Those flashing lights are not there for fun; they are scientifically designed to hack your impulse control

and keep you trapped in the cycle.
