^^There is one thing true about this and that is the fact that whale or not whale you end up participating, and that is all that matters. I personally believe that we should never do something what we do not normally do just because there is a promotion or a bonus or a competition or a lottery or whatever else, we should just do what we always do and if that brings us something then that is great and if it doesn't bring something then that is a shame, that is all I can say.
I do not mean to say that we should not be looking towards something that may or may not earn us any money and then go out there and spend extra money for that chance, if you do that and end up not earning anything you will be very upset but if you just do what you always do and end up losing well that is just ignoreable thing because you did nothing extra about it anyway.
That is the thing about lotteries, when there is a huge whale with a million tickets and you have just one then it is not really that fair. Of course it would be even more unfair if you ended up getting equal tickets when he wagers a million dollars while you wager 10 bucks, so this system currently is even better however that doesn't change the fact that people like me feel like they have no chance.
I understand the point of view that even one ticket has a chance, which is why we still do gamble, but that doesn't change the fact that we are in a situation where people are getting more tickets in 10 minutes then I can get in a month, hence why people are not really hyped about it if they are like me. That is why both people are right, you are right that everyone has a chance, and they are right that even though they have a chance it is very low chance.
