🎯 Hook: Two Bettors, Same Behavior, Different Paths
Alex:
- Bets 2% of entertainment budget weekly
- Wins some, loses some - doesn't affect mood either way
- Friends and family know about betting - it's just a hobby
Chris:
- Bets "whatever's in the account" (has lost track)
- Bad losses ruin entire week; wins create an intense high
- Hides betting from partner; lies about how much is wagered
