I also noticed that each player experiences gambling differently because it excites the mind, unleashing deep feelings and emotions. For some, this can even lead to narcissism, with the certainty that they, and not the other players, will win, even though there may be no real basis for this. Sometimes, I even observed responsible people at work acting like children in games, with their naivety, faith in the best, and hope, despite having absolutely no strategy. I couldn't wrap my head around this until I realized that you can't compare a person's real-life performance to what they can do in a game.
