The Game You Can't Win: Understanding Gambling's Endless Cycle

The only time you can win or lose when it comes to gambling is at death, because at that point now, the game is over.
Ever wondered why gambling always seems to be a losing battle? In this eye-opening episode of The After Gambling Podcast, Jamie Salsburg breaks down the nature of gambling and reveals why it's impossible to come out on top. Jamie introduces the concept of finite versus infinite games, explaining that while finite games have clear rules and objectives, gambling is an infinite game where the goal is to keep playing indefinitely.
The house always holds the upper hand in this endless cycle. Jamie also sheds light on how rewards programs and bonus deposits are designed to keep players hooked, turning the illusion of future wins into inevitable losses. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with gambling addiction or those curious about the mechanics behind the scenes. Jamie's candid and supportive approach makes complex ideas easy to grasp, providing valuable insights that could change how you view gambling forever.
