Not sure if I can still try my luck in gambling specially in lottery because I am not as lucky as others. because as far as I remember ? i tried betting in lotto for couple of years and indeed just a few small wins that I gather and my losses are truly huge so maybe this fever is not for me to enjoy lol.

Anyone who sees and observes that they are constantly losing money either in gambling or in lotteries should get away from them because there is no wisdom in the continuation of a thing that is constantly making you fail in it. So to save yourself from more losses, you should stop doing it and you did the right thing. Gambling and lotteries are all about luck, and when your luck isn't supporting you, you can barely be able to win anything significant from them.

A lot of people involved either in gambling or lotteries don't take the necessary steps that can save them from extreme losses. They keep gambling or buying lottery tickets even when they see it evidently that they aren't winning, but they still keep hoping to win despite all this.

One of the mistake made by gamblers is to harbor the though of winning always. Gamble is a game of luck and you don't always get lucky, and that's why you need to spend your money wisely. I've come across some gambler who spend their money first on drinks after wining a bet, though we cannot all have the same mindset but a good spending habits is essential to all. Gamble can be fun at times, but that fun can only last when you spend wisely else you'll become addicted and even irresponsible in your gambling. The most important lesson to be learnt as gamblers is financial management.

My thoughts have to do with the lottery winners who end up worse off than before they won the lottery, totally broke and with more debt. They had better learn how to manage their wealth and not get carried away by the drunkenness of joy when it comes to spending their winnings. Have a little brains, please.

sometimes when a person holds a large amount of money, they don't think about what can happen because they are focused on enjoying themselves and how they will spend the money they received. So a gambler should know better what needs to be done once he experiences winning at gambling so that the money does not run out in an instant. Yes, there is a saying that it is easy to run out of money without working hard, but if you are strategic and think practically, you know that the money you won in gambling will not just be used up on meaningless things.

People would really be able to realize things when its already too late or something that do talks about that experiencing those unfortunate conditions on which they should have been able to avoid it if they were really just that sensible into their own actions and really having that awareness about those condition on which we know that money could really be that easily be spent it all without you noticing or you arent that being wary just because you are really just that too confident that you could really be able to make out such money again in gambling or lottery or whatever source it would be which it is really that a very wrong approach.

Whenever you do win up something big then it would really be best that you should really be making use of it on the most beneficial or something that would really be worth and not really just that
buying up something which is useless because on the time that you wont really be having more money then you would really be coming back on where you are before
and this would really be bringing out that lifetime kind of regret just because you hadnt think up well and made out some right decisions.

They got lucky, it doesn't mean I will too, and lottery is even more harder than normal gambling, I am protecting my mental health because my life depends on it, I don't want my life to be about chasing something that I may never get because trying to make money this way is not even fair to begin with.

I believe those people are just lucky, and I am not confused about going down the same path as them, nah, I will stick with my slots games when I have the money to lose, many lives must have been ruined before these few people became the lottery winners, some people pushed away important things in life just because they believe that lottery is the solution.

Be careful what you wish for and never compare yourself with another, it is not a must to make it in life in the same way that others took, you are different and so must your ways.

We know our chances to win in lottery is slim so these lottery winners are indeed fortunate to win a life changing amount. I rarely buy tickets (usually if I only have numbers in mind) because I always have this thought instead of buying ticket, I'd rather spend the money on something else so it won't be wasted (though the price of ticket is cheap).

but imagine how slim the chances are yet there are still millions of bettors around the world is trying their luck to win and change their life in single win.
but indeed that this is not the best way to let our life believing in short time becoming millionaire.

Quote

I have a relative who's a fan of lottery and a regular bettor. He had the chance to win a small prize but not able to win a decent amount wherein he can recover all the money he spent on tickets.

its common that we have relatives and friends of course who is continues betting in lotto but not even won a big wins instead a cheap winning that they are gaining .

- A woman who quit her job after scratching off a $90,000 lottery windfall.

Isn't stupid for the woman to quit her job? I know that $90,000 is really big for most people including myself, but she live in United States where the average annual salary is $50K, such amount is only 2 years annual salaries. $90K will really make she happy, but it's not something that can change her life..

We can say it was stupid or not as the nature of job and the salary she earns a month isn't known to be attractive or not leading to her choice of quiting. $90k well invested could triple before a year end, and more importantly, not every individual have the ambition of working for people, they want to be self established, self employed having their own company in their name no matter how small it might be in size. It's just their dream.

Honestly, I never feel like I would win, but I know that even 1 ticket would have infinite amount of higher chance than zero tickets, so I do not see the point of having zero tickets. One ticket doesn't cost much in most lotteries, we do not get to see that many different situations and we can't really talk about that like it is a big deal. Whereas, if we are talking about a deal where they could cost so little and I get only one ticket then I feel more comfortable about it.

Not because I think I will win, the odds of someone with a single ticket to win the lottery is astronomically low, but I also do not want it to be zero. Like for example freebitco.in has lottery and two of them, and I always have at least one ticket for both of them each time, just in case.

~But I agree with you that the odds of winning the Jackpot and being hit by a meteor are more or less the same. We just shouldn't forget that when we don't buy a ticket our chances of succeeding with lottery are zero.

There is nothing wrong with buying a few tickets to try your luck in a lottery, but what some people do is spend a lot of money on buying tickets because they believe this increases their chances of winning the jackpot amount which isn't true.~

Hold on, mate, no, it's actually true, the chances do increase with buying more tickets. The question is, how much? What are you chances of hitting the Jackpot after you bought 1,000 tickets instead of just one? Well, let's figure that out, shall we? For example, the popular Mega Millions lottery has odds of approximately 1 in 175,711,536 or 0.0000006 % if you buy only 1 ticket. So, when you buy one thousand of them your chance of winning increases 1,000 times. But how much exactly it will be then? Well, it will be around 0.0006%. You can spend $2,000 on your 1,000 tickets and still have a minuscule chance to win.

The lotteries are strange.In my country I have noticed that the winners of the state lottery are usually of old age when they show them on Tv as everything is shown on Tv,this means that these people are truly lucky as they buy on average as they tell 1-5 tickets spending 2-10 Euro maximum weekly as this is a weekly lottery and the prizes are not huge like 10.000 Eur on average up to 100.000 Eur on special days like public holidays in here.

To be honest, I don't really like lottery games because the game is really very boring for me when I play it because in my opinion, apart from being brave enough to bet money, the lottery game also requires supporting skills to get a chance of winning.
And when compared to online gambling games, we feel that apart from getting pleasure from playing, online gambling games also provide entertainment for us, sometimes we often get opportunities to win there.
Therefore I am more interested in online gambling games than lottery games.

Maybe you should try other type of gambling because maybe you aren't lucky when it comes to lottery but in slot games or sports betting you can make a win? Why not give it a try, that's what you should do, explore other gambling activities and just don't focus in 1 game. You already saw and experience that your chances of winning in lotto is very low which indicates that you should try other because if you will continue playing that game, possible that you will lose more.

correct mate, I am not lucky in lottery but i am lucky in other gambling such as Roulette and Color games, I remember in color game here in our local online game that i manage 3 color combination for 5 consecutive betting and that gives me x40 of my total capital in which i decide to stand from the table and leave the gambling for a week.

It's always been the same feeling about lottery when I see winners being proclaimed. But I do accept the fact that this is actually a game of fact, sometimes my lips would say that the same thing you've mentioned OP as "my time might be near".

But I don't lean towards it, yes, I was able to mention that for so many times but it's never happening and I accept that fact as well.

With those winners, I'm just happy for them and wishing them that they're going to be responsible with the amount they've won and will be able to grow it overtime and won't just let the lottery take it back from them.

From time to time, we also want to hit our luck from this game. In my case, I seldom buy lottery tickets, only when I feel about buying and if I do have extra. Because we all know that the chance here is very slim. So better not use money that is needed to buy food or other important expenses.

For those who already got their luck from this game, better use it wisely. Invest in business that you think you can grow over time. Or buy tangible assets if you are not a business person. Don't buy luxury items that you won't need. Always think of something that you can gain before you spend something out of your winnings.

Overthinking is a very wrong thing to practice when it comes to gambling activities. Aside from the fact that it affects the gamblers ability to focus properly, it often signifies the fact that the gambler probably either staked a huge amount of cash or staked his last cash and therefore is scared or tensed about losing it all. This is one of the major reasons why gamblers are often advised to stake what they can afford to lose so that they don't get emotional affected when they lose.

People who win during most gambling activities, aside from analysis and level of experience also had a nice amount of luck on their side especially when the chances of winning is very thin.

A couple of years and you give up. Cheesy

My grandfather had been betting for the national lottery in almost his whole life and he lived until 82 years old. The very lucky ones are the only people who would win the lottery in 2 years of betting. Indeed, just step away from it if you feel like losing your money big time. I think that is cool, save that money for something else and maybe you will make millions.
I mean imagine, that's $1 per game and if there are 4 games a week, that's $4/week. In two years you can save $418 which I think is a good amount. What about those who are betting for 2 or 3 liners per game? Ergh, that will be lots of money.
That's the same computation I used when I stopped smoking, then I think about the health of my children. Now, I am saving a lot of money because a pack of smoke cost a lot of money due to the yearly increase in sin tax.
So, it's up to you. No one is forcing anyone to bet for the lottery but the jackpot always looks tasty. Cheesy

But I think everything will be the same, especially in gambling, anyone who dares to take risks will definitely have luck, as the saying goes, luck only belongs to those who take risks.
Every gambler will risk money and hope for luck to come, after all in lottery no gambler will be able to win big or get the jackpot if it is not influenced by luck.
Strategy in lottery is actually just kind of belief that clearly does not show any guarantee of winning, so basically gamblers who bet on lottery are just gamblers who prepare money to lose.
This will never depend on who buys the ticket and wins, but logically if want to win have to risk certain amount of money and after that leave the results to our own fate.

I disagree with you there. People who take risks don't "definitely have luck". They have near zero probability. Not zero, like people who don't buy a ticket, but almost as significant as zero.
You are correct about the risk, but it mostly applies to other things than gambling. "High risk, high gains" might be a common concept. But when you do lottery, that risk is insanely high for your bet, even if that bet is low.

And it's not like it's all about risk. It's about risk management. You need to accept risk (which is just too high in lottery, but maybe worth a dollar if you don't need that dollar to other things. And you have higher change to make profits by putting that dollar to something else. And when or if you gain that money you were looking for, may it be via gambling or working, risk avoidance becomes way more important factor, as you might want to keep that money, instead of risking it more.
