    Is it a dopamine hit, or just the chance of a dopamine hit?

      If memory serves, when brain activity is measured in betting, dopamine hits the highest right before the outcome of a bet, so it’s effectively the risk inherent in betting that causes the high, not the outcome. I’d have to find the article to becertain, though.
