I have always had conflicted feelings when it comes to sports gambling. I understand the enjoyment one can receive from a winning parlay but I see the inverse when people lose their temper on a losing one.

Believe it or not, in my last semester at the University of Georgia I actually took a class on sports betting and the culture surrounding it. We did deep dives into the dopamine released in the brain when sports betting and the addictive traits you can get from it. When we had guest speakers, we wrote research papers, group discussions, the whole nine yards on the subject.
