Psychology of Risk: Why are Mexicans Drawn to Soccer Betting?

  • Mía Pizarro Independiente

Abstract

The passion for soccer in Mexico goes beyond watching matches, becoming a social and emotional experience. Sports betting has gained popularity by offering fans a way to intensify their connection with the sport. This article explores the psychology behind this attraction, highlighting how risk and excitement activate the brain's reward system. Furthermore, no deposit bonuses facilitate entry into betting, allowing fans to explore without financial risk. However, it is crucial to participate responsibly, setting boundaries and considering this activity as entertainment, not a means to make money. By doing so, fans can fully enjoy their love of football and the thrill of the game.
