“Rewards” experienced without prior effort are not rewards b/c they reinforce laziness & over time, diminish our motivation & joy. Effort that precedes reward is the path to sustained motivation, mood & success. This is all grounded in neural circuits of motivated reinforcement.
@JoePompliano Take the best 8 or 12 or 16 teams per Vegas oddsmakers on point spread, largest point spread should be high seed v low seed, etc. don’t care if you lose in reg season with how schedule is set, gimme best games.
