Your Prefrontal Cortex is causing you the problem if you lose gambling.

I think there may be just a few more imponderables Brassy

The "holy grail" for gamblers is in the title of this thread,

If it is your pre frontal cortex, then there's not much you can do about it. So fairly pointless to worry about really.

Worry about that which you can control, and ignore that which you cannot...

Stu,read about it,it will amaze you

I know plenty about neuroscience brass, I studied and qualified in topics close to this. Basically, the pre frontal cortex controls a lot of decision making, planning and impulse. So, I suppose it depends what you mean by having a 'problem' with it.

Some punters back horses to win and they know that their selection will lose,they back out of habit.

That would indeed come under the planning and impulse areas yes.

The prefrontal is fully developed by the age of 30,but a guy can change bad gambling habits if he wants to do it.And it shows you .

are you selling these brassneck?

Luckily horses have a very small, underdeveloped, or in some views functionally nonexistent, prefrontal cortex compared to humans, which is handy otherwise they'd mill about when the stalls open while they decide whether to, and if so in which direction, to race.
