Topic: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability - page 3. (Read 5828 times)

Although the lottery is said to be illegal but again, most of the people like it and the government's profit will also be great if they let them play the lottery. so maybe the government only banned the lottery as a legality.

You put this well together and I think in most countries, the state run lotteries specifically, are not rigged in an illegal way. You said that well that they are rigged by officially saying that there return to player rate is ridiculous. Let's say there is a lottery with a jackpot of 20 million, then usually they make revenue of 30 or maybe 40 million and only give 50% back to the people (I said jackpot, I mean the whole prize money being distributed). It's kind of a little scam, but their is consent among all participants that they are ok with it by submitting their tickets and paying for it.

It would also depend on the countries, but for most state run lotteries I think this is how it works and that removes the incentive to scam in any other way. Whether this is good or not, I don't know, that is up to everyone!

When it comes to rigged, any game could be rigged and as long as players are not aware of it, there is absolutely nothing that we can do about it, it's just the way it is. However, we should remember, even when it's not rigged, it's definitely not something that we could end up with an easier solution neither, it's not going to be all that easy.

I believe that most casino games, even included lottery which may charge more than it gives out, who knows, could definitely end up being a little difficult to handle. If a casino rewards 1 million dollars to lottery winner, but sold 1.5 million dollars worth of tickets, that alone shows how it's "rigged" but in a legal manner, there is nothing shady about that, that's just how it works.

Lottery is a gambling site game. But in our country gambling is illigal but we have seen that people playing lottery physically in  fair the they playing like big celebration. Don't know why government allowing it but it happens in our country. In gambling sector lottery is the biggest profitable specially offline gambling their is huge tickets but the winning prize is limited. That's the biggest profitable business in offline sector. It's fully on your luck there is no possibility its probablity. That's not like other gamblers that's only applying luck.

That's true, and it was done by people who saw it by trying to protect the child from his parents, who always physically abused the child.

We cannot deny that parents have done this to their children too often. Instead of trying to guide their children well, they proudly say that. Such a parent cannot be said to be a good parent because he does not realize that he has put his child into something that might have a bad influence on his child when he grows up. Parents should be able to provide understanding and guidance to their children to avoid things that could have bad consequences for them, especially when they grow up. Everything will change and will not be the same as what their parents encountered. If children are not given good understanding and guidance since they are small, they will have difficulty developing and following what is happening around them and there is a possibility that they will be drawn into things that could have a bad influence on their lives.

Sometimes on a roll over the lottery odds and cost vs the rewards given can almost be justified in terms of a reasonable risk to reward scenario.   It takes many roll overs for that to be true possibly but its not impossible also that creates alot of hype and excitement usually hence I would add in one vital factor which is the social element to having a lottery commonly played and discussed across the community.
   Its never about being a perfect past time but I always say a little gamble is alot healthier then smoking and/or drinking.  Dream away if it distracts you from wanting to smoke or drink then immediately its very cheap in terms all the health costs to those alternatives.   Lots of gambling can be justified in their 'probability occupation' vs cost in that way, main thing to me always is if you do you like playing and if you can afford it then be happy go for it
   Lotteries are really cheap mostly, its quite friendly overall and equates to a voluntary way to support a government scheme if it is either government run or licensed then you are in some way supporting that enterprise and expenditure carried out with the revenue and profits of the lottery.

The lottery game was the mostly played game in the gambling site in the online form,the most oldest game of the gambling is lottery in the history of gambling in offline mode.After some people protest for the loss by the individual in the society,the many lottery based offline gambling was banned.The lottery was famous because of the jackpot win,which is not the possible one in the gambling industry in many online game.The luck was the probability in the lottery but the casino based on the possibility of the gambling chances.The gamblers who had capacity to raffle for the many game using their money had the chance of making huge money.

There's no such thing about zero chance as long you do able to buy some tickets then you could really always have the chance on winning up the lottery.It is really just that those odds or chance
is really just that close to impossible and this is why to those people who are really that too optimistic on winning up the jackpot would really be that making themselves that impulsive.
This is why on the time that you would really be that making yourself that being too optimistic then this would really be pushing you to buy more tickets.
If you could afford then why not? but if you are already compromising your daily living expenses then this is something that would really be that very wrong already.
So its better to stop while its early.

That is one way to look at it, it is correct that they charge you very little amounts. But what is the bang for your buck? You can participate with a relatively amount, but you have a zero chance to win essentially. So it is a double-edged sword, but it has this psychological effect that people do at least have the feeling they can dream of potential freedom, but in reality this is really what it is: a dream and not more than that. If you see how many people play the lottery and relative to that how many people really become a millionaire, then it begs the question whether participation is easy. It is easy for the individual, but it is hard for the collective as they literally send their money over to the state as a hidden tax so to say.

With lottery, they house always have the greater advantage than the participants and so it's not new that most of the times it's very unlikely the participants wins because the odds they win are always and usually high due to the fact that there are many participants and only a few can win at a time, if everyone wins definitely the house will not be able to pay all at once.

The charging of little amount to be able to participate in the lottery draws is because they want to really have many participants enough to be able to raise the funds needed to find the winners while they will be having more than enough left behind to be able to keep as their own profit while the keep business afloat regardless of the the number of participants, knowing that the entry amount is really small which could mean that they are going to get a good number of people playing, they will tighten the chances of winning so that not everyone can win at once els payment will really be chaotic.

I like your balanced view of the lottery, which acknowledges its appeal and risks. On one side, the odds are usually against the player, and gambling isn't a good financial plan. I often wonder about lotteries' psychological hook - the tempting what if that keeps people coming back. Doesn't hope and desire interact complexly? I find that the excitement of 'potential' victory, however modest, motivates

Some lottery games require skill or computations, which adds intrigue. In rare circumstances, mathematical tactics can modestly boost winning probability. However, we must understand the chances are still against us. Stories of big wins often eclipse this. These uncommon incidents raise excessive expectations. I think lotteries should be seen as entertainment rather than a guaranteed way to get money

This is why it would be that best that you shouldnt really be expecting something when you do bet on lotteries on which it would really be just that right that you shouldnt really be assuming that you could be able to hit up the jackpot on the time that you would really be betting on lottery. Winning chance is really that close to impossible on which it is really just that right
that you wont be expecting that much so that you wouldnt really be having those regrets and disappointment on which this might cause for you to buy more tickets.
Whether you do have tons or 1 ticket, if you do have that extreme luck or luck in the world then you could possibly be able to hit up those combinations.
It is really just that hitting jackpot cant be that possible in one shot.

that of course is the mentality of most lottery bettors. why would they spend daily if they are not dreaming that one day they will hit the jackpot? so even if we say the chance is very slim, these people are aiming for such once in a lifetime opportunity. we can't blame as long as they are using their money, why not? right?

we all know that such opportunity is like punch in the air. so at the end of the day, it is all on you how you dedicate your funds on this gambling activity. because from my end, i also bet on lottery from time to time. if i feel lucky for the day.

Of course, anyone who witnesses an incident like that will be very sad and sympathetic because child who should receive proper treatment with love actually experiences mental pressure and physical violence perpetrated by his own parents.

I don't know why he can think like that, but what he said made me little disappointed and also felt annoyed because there were parents who didn't provide direction or measurable firm action. Such as advising their children that they shouldn't try to follow bets made by other people adults.
As parents, they must be able to avoid and also limit their children social interactions so that they do not try to gamble and really enjoy gambling activities.
Maybe he as parent has failed in providing education to his child but there is still long time to be able to cure it or change his child behavior towards gambling activities.
I know lottery betting can be found anywhere, but if there are restrictions and also strictness as parents, it will be able to change to really keep their children away from what they have been doing regarding lottery betting.
If he is responsible parent, of course he will set good example, such as teaching his child that he has stopped betting, he has stayed away from all betting activities and that way there will be special awareness of the child.

Anything that is casino-related has a slim chance of winning, and it doesn't stop the fact that some people can win big with it. This winning is the target of most gamblers and the reason why they patronise casinos engaging in lotteries, they have hope in it. The lottery is not a child's play and it depends on the lottery we are talking about to know how easy or difficult the winning could be. There are some that will just be about the general drawing for the lucky winners and nothing more, but in some, gamblers can still use some mathematical calculations to get the possible results. And guess what? This works and I've seen a lot of people who didn't predict randomly but went to their calculation table to draw out the possible outcome and it works for them.

The best of this is when they are playing a certain lottery that is manually set but has had some internal calculations that will always follow a certain pattern. The issue is that it could be rigged like others since it is not easy for the house to follow the same logic on this all the time, many people will later get to know it and use it to make money against them. In all, people can win in lotteries by luck and by their efforts, but no one should ever believe they can get rich in lotteries. However, if it happens, they can embrace it and be happy. You see that people often have this belief in winning in lotteries, which is why they will continue to patronise it.

They still hope to win the huge jackpot prize so they still buy lottery coupons. Even if they have to use more money, it doesn't matter to them because they likely still have more money or have even allocated some funds to buy the lottery coupons.
It is their desires, hopes and dreams of becoming winners of lottery coupons that lead them to buy lottery coupons in large quantities.
Those of us who don't understand might say it doesn't make sense but not for them because they still dream of being the winner.
Meanwhile, people who don't have any intention of buying lottery coupons want to experience buying lottery coupons. But these are the ones who can sometimes be the winners of their lottery coupons.

The odds of winning the lottery are so slim that some people are likely in debt or are looking for someone to lend them money even though they are unable to purchase basic needs. This is because they have become devastated and have developed a delusional belief that they will win the lottery, even though their chances of winning are only 1% out of billions of people who participated in the lottery.

However, as you guys pointed out, parents serve as their children's primary role models. Therefore, it makes sense that if a parent starts boasting about his winnings to a friend, the child will hear about it, become inspired by his father, and perhaps even want to imitate him. Which is unfortunate, I suppose, as his son may become overly naive and believe that winning the lottery will bring him easy money. In that case, he may still think of evil ideas like stealing and learning how to borrow money from others, or he may develop many vices as a result of being influenced by friends when he is still young. The parent will struggle to stop their child from doing what he is doing.

In actuality, there is nothing wrong with placing a lottery wager; the only thing that should be avoided is the involvement of kids, since they are obviously inexperienced with how it works. That is the one significant error that the parent has been thinking about from the start.

Last weekend the second greatest draw of the year was held in my country, Spain.

As I said a few weeks ago, December the 22nd 2/3 of the Spanish population play the Christmas National Lottery. But on January the 6th there is a "second chance" to win, in a lottery called "El Niño" (The Child). The greatest prize is exactly half of the prize compared to the former, but chances of winning any prize are quite bigger.

I don't think we could say that this is due to a preference for bigger prizes rather than higher probabilities, because the thrill before Christmas is higher so that's the main reason I think. But in some degree I think that it is the cause in part.

Although the chances of winning for the lottery are small, many players still buy lottery coupons because of a promise that if they win, they will get a lot of money and can make them rich in just 1 lottery coupon. lotteries in mainland America and Europe have very large prizes and rewards.
But yes, winning is very difficult, mostly just a dream for coupon buyers but certainly there are those who win the lottery so spending a little money, for example cigarette money is reduced to buy coupons, will not be burdensome.

I have seen children who were beaten by their parents because they were upset because they lost at gambling. The children didn't know anything and were playing with their siblings, but suddenly, a child started crying because they were playing. Hence, the parents, who didn't know the real story, immediately beat their children without asking what was wrong. This is truly sad because it has happened in many communities and has caused children to face severe mental pressure due to the actions of their parents. But luckily the incident was known to his grandparents and neighbors, so the child's parents were immediately told to leave the house, saying that his grandparents could still support their children until they were adults.

And from your story, the parents look proud to know that their child also likes lottery betting and doesn't mind if their child can't win. Yes, it was surprising to see that his son also ended up liking betting on lottery bets, which is an activity that is not appropriate for children to do. But that is what happens in many communities, so it is very difficult to provide understanding to them or make them aware that children are still very vulnerable and can be mentally disturbed if they become addicted to gambling. It is best for every parent to educate and guide their children well and always pay attention to their interactions with their friends because socializing with their friends can also have a bad impact on the children's souls if they do bad things too.

Yes, he is a stupid parent who doesn't care about his children to the point of letting them play lottery bets. He should be able to prevent that from happening, and if his parents want to buy lottery tickets, they can buy them themselves without anyone knowing, and they shouldn't tell their children to buy lottery tickets.
