Topic: Gambling: process vs outcome - page 10. (Read 2369 times)
Lotteries are a bit different compared to playing other games where you see the results in a short time.However lotteries have a process.I am excited when the lottery is being run live on Tv and I am with my tickets in my hands waiting and hoping to win something.This is the same adrenaline you feel when playing slot machines.
For me it depends on what game I play. If I buy a ticket for lottery of course what matter most to me is the outcome if I hit the jackpot or not. But im not a fan of it because of the chances to win the game, we know its more on luck.
Most of the games are based on luck and though Lottery have a very big prize but in the end it's still the gambling site that makes big profit out from people's bet. The lower the bet and higher the reward, the chance of winning is very low and that's the reality I know most of the people know, however they still play as most of them can afford what they can lose. On the other side if we are talking to card games, sports betting and dice, the process is important (well atleast for me). Because im not only after profit, the excitement it can give to me is what I look forward when I play and if I win its like an incentives because I also enjoyed the game.
Definitely we love excitement, but most of all we want to win, if we are talking about profit, this likely refers to gamblers who are into for long term gambling which they expect profit in the long run, but most of the gamblers does not do that, they just gamble and hope to win and the next day, another bankroll again.

The process and outcome i think i can't avoid both of them because in my view they're so related on gambling and for an example people will be so proud to tell the stories and the process when they able to get big winning someday that when they struggle to achieve it so i think rather than separated between them i think both are so important too me
As a gambler, we want to have a goal for having a good outcome because it reflects our hard work and income. Most of the gambler wants to have a good result, but first, we need to take a good process like preparing for good knowledge and skills to we can decide what kind of technique we will use in the future gambling. Second, choose what is the best platform that supports our gambling. Also, it is better if we have a good that we are good because it can give an advantage to us so we can play safety, excellent and skilled because sometimes having expertise in a game makes us more confident to play. Lastly is always make sure to play safe every gambling we play even we got a small amount of profit still it is a profit that we can earn.
I don't understand why people even like lotteries.
Difference in personal taste.Quote
You don't do much, most likely lose and have to wait for the outcome for a long time.
Same with sports betting. Quick answers come for EV- games like dice and slots.Quote
Perhaps, people are interested in the possibility of winning, but that would mean they are not really into gambling as the process.
Lottery is a game of chance. You are relying on luck mostly unless you buy a huge share of the tickets.Quote
So what is it for you, do you play only for the sake of winning or do you care about the process of playing/researching/anticipating the outcome? I think that the process is that is attractive in gambling, and while the outcome surely matters, I would not like to wait for a long while to learn it.
See lotteries have a large following mostly because they are accessible to the low income people easily from street vendors for tickets and the draws are also uploaded regularly for daily draws. They are well known and a easy way to try your luck. So this makes them popular. Lotteries on online casinos mostly came because people asked for them continuously. They were not the primary attraction.
People like lotteries because of two things, [1]small amount of bet but you could win big, [2]saves more time than going to an actual casino and play. The majority of people who are betting in lotteries are those who have to do their regular job everyday, and they just wait for the lottery result at the end of the day, even if they win or not, they are just repeating the whole thing over and over again.
Maybe it is not just addiction, it is also their hobby, and not betting on lotteries would not make their day, it completes them.

I think, why people really like gambling is because, of the process of it. It gives thrill and excitement especially when the wage and what is at stake is big. It need to total focus and combined experience throughout the entire life. Gambling develops the character of being a risk taker, where in you know the possible consequences if it fails but, still hoping on the win.
I doubt that's the case, instead most individuals that engage in gambling only do that for the outcome (Monterey gains) that's why we have individuals willing to rely on the predictions & speculations of others to place bets without minding if they're correct or not. Assuming they were more concerned about the process then we would have had more gamblers relying on their personal ability to prediction the outcome of games instead of depending in tipping sites etc.
Another reason why the gamblers for outcome is more than those for the process is due to the fact, we have more average gamblers than professional. The average gambler get motivated by making money not minding whether they understand the process or not while the professionals study the games, get familiarize with the process and that's why they record more successful outcomes than the average gambler.
because the thrill is there mate,imagine there is a long time waiting for your small amount because lottery ticket is cheaper than usual gambling games.
and besides This kind of gambling Mostly Played by Older people because this is their traditional gambling and need not to spend more time because they have many things to do than just to gamble.

you did not mentioned the specific gambling he is mentioning and that is lottery,that the long process to learn who wins while in normal playing can have result in just a seconds or a minute. 
There's no really needed skills in lottery it requires no skills, research, strategy or anticipation. You can only based on luck and the card you've been dealth with. Maybe some people likes the thrill of the unknown that's wy they play it or just to lazy to learn some new exciting competitive games that requires to think to much.

I am equally torn between the process and the outcome and so I chose both are equally important. The outcome may actually have more weight than the process but that is as far as lottery is concerned. When it comes to a lot of variations of card games which we usually play with my friends, the outcome matters very little that we often just laugh about it. And so I guess it also matters which gambling game we are talking about. Playing holdem for example is fulfilling both in terms of process and outcome but that cannot be said about lottery. Sports betting is also a case of having both process and outcome as fulfilling.
I've seen a guy asking for advice about lotteries and it got me thinking. I don't understand why people even like lotteries.

You only determine the outcome by experience, and while you're playing the reality of gambling it's not guaranteed because you'll neglect some points that controls you. The fun and excitement will always matter during a very crucial gambling bets. You became more aggressive when there's a possible situation that winning is at your potential moves, which undeniably happening to all gamblers. Outcome might be positive or negative, and it always depends on how a person can handle pressures of gambling process.
Welp, you can't choose what people to like. You might dislike the lottery but you didn't know that there are more than what you know that really likes and actually betting on it. Once you started to gamble, you will not think about research or what and when the game hooks you there's only one thing that you have in mind. It's to win and at the same time enjoy the money that you are betting on that specific game just like those people in the lottery.
People like to play lotteries because they don't have to think or to learn how to win. People can buy as many tickets as they want to have a big percentage to win, but of course, they need to think about how high their chance to win. I think people enjoy to buy many tickets because the ticket price itself is not expensive and they can have so many numbers of tickets. After they have the ticket, they can wait for a while until the announcement of the winner comes. That is why many people have big expectations of winning in the lottery. And they still buy a lot of a number of tickets.
I voted both outcome and process, there's a lot of enjoyment on the outcome if you win and there's a lot of excitement on the process while you're at it, I always go through to those feelings whenever I play the game and it makes gambling a good form of entertainment, just don't expect much on your chances to win.
To be honest, it's all about the chances, whether you care about the process or not. They might only differ on how much chance you could win on a specific game or not.
In lotteries, the chances are pretty low. And you're definitely right, as the game does not have mechanics to play with, but rather is only playing with chances.
In other games, especially involving cards, it's still appeals only with chances and probabilities, but you could have other outcomes due to their mechanics. Though the chances you're playing with is with the cards you'll possibky get with each round.

Some people want to be thrilled , also in lottery you may pay for a little than in gambling in casinos. You don't need to lose anything as well, you just need to stay patient and wait for the outcome. That is the good thing of it, the waiting game feeling and it will not cost you too much. You will definitely learn it once you experienced the same thing. 
The process and the outcome are both important, when the process is transparent this would make gamblers excited about the outcome of the lottery as they know it's not rig although in reality the chance of winning is very small.
I am also not a fan of lottery but sometimes I feel like putting a small chunk of my money to lottery just for fun.
Lottery also especially if government sponsored are for charity, so I am okay with losing as long as I can help for the charitable purpose of the government.

You think those who are playing lotteries are more newbie or something beginners in the world of Gambling?
As what I observed on those people who are playing lotteries are those people who are busy like have works or anything and people those who are poor/not rich like that (no discrimination)
Reason is also because playing lottery is like instant millionaire that's why there are still lot of people who are into lotteries.
