Gambling: process vs outcome

[robelneo]

I am both on the process and the outcome, I enjoy betting and playing the game but in the back of my mind I want to also win the jackpot but I am more on how I play the game we all know that this is gambling, even if you want to even if you tried hard there is no guaranty that you will hit the jackpot but you keep on hoping which is but natural.

I think the process is the most important in gambling, and when someone likes to play lotteries, it's because they can buy many tickets without spend time to learn about the games. That will make them feel it's easy to gamble, and they can have a chance to win the prizes if they have the right number that will come out. I think the process of waiting will be necessary too because sometimes, it can make the game become curious to win.

The process as well as the outcome is equally important in gambling, there are people who play for entertainment and there are people who play in greed to make more money. But it's fun when you win for most of the people.

Personally, I don't play above my status because I can't afford to lose most of the times so the process is equally important as the outcome. If the game was fun and I won then it's worth to gamble and spend your time in it.

Basically, from my experience, gambling process is more stressful than having the outcomes. I can still remember what happened to me back in 2015, when I started my career in poker games. I learnt those strategies and their modern before I could play with others. This literally took me months before I could gamble, so, process is more tedious than the outcomes.

It depends on the game you are playing,

as for me,
I am more on the outcome. I play games that focus more on luck, so basically, the end result or the outcome is the most important.
There is no need to observe or undergo any process (for me, but it still depends on the player).

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.

What's the difference between any other gambling platforms? Most gambling games are the same like, dice, roulette, slots, all of them are non-strategic games. Some are strategic like poker, blackjack and etc., this kind of games needs luck and some sort of strategy while the non-strategic games needs only luck and patience. Self-discipline is required to both of it but you can't change how people think when they are in the middle of their losses. Gambling is a process where you relieve your stress, enjoy and at the same time value your money. Although sometimes it causes stress and depression, that's why people tend to control their emotion and it is very important when it comes to gambling. Moderate and proper gambling will give you the best outcomes but if you're not really luck then you should stop for a while.

The vast majority of people who play the lottery simply aren't interested in the process, it's not what you would call a "game of fun."

The simple fact is, the lottery is a slow-paced game that is played by those looking to win the jackpot. Anybody who wanted to win big, while also enjoying the game would likely play scratch cards instead.

That's why a lot of casinos have a much faster-paced lottery, which is similar to scratch cards.

If you are a gaming addict, you dont even care about the process of the game or any lottery and you cant even wait for the outcome because you want an easy money. The essence of gaming just for fun slowly dying and also the greediness will eat you up because playing lottery or any gambling games is literally way too much addictive. It should be balance because if you are already an addict you cant even resist and refrain from playing anymord once you started.

Greed kills the enjoyment meant to be provided by gbling games. Most of the gamblers are not playing to kill time but to just earn profit and such thing is no longer surprising given how many people became addicted to such activity. But what makes it addicting is the chances of winning. It will give urge to the gamer to play again on the other day to make a 'comeback' not knowing that their loss becomes bigger and bigger as the frequency of playing is getting higher given that losing is more certain than winning.

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 don't do much, most likely lose and have to wait for the outcome for a long time. Perhaps, people are interested in the possibility of winning, but that would mean they are not really into gambling as the process. 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.

There are a lot of people who always want to win in every gambling that they are playing or entering without having a strategy to win that kind of gamble. The most important part of gambling for you to win is the process, where you should analyze how the game will take. There are a lot of strategies in every gambling, and you should learn about it because it is not enough that you are only want to win, but you don't do anything to win,  do not believe in luck because it is not always besides on you. Please make an action than wait for your right time, especially in this virtual world where you will encounter a lot of people. You will be wasting your money if you only mind the outcome instead of analyzing the process of the result.

I am seldom into lotteries. There is no excitement there. It is mostly on the very slim chance of winning, but life changing prizes. Lotteries are also cheap, so it's like nothing. Real gamblers are into the process and the outcome. Both are important. But if I only need to pick one, i'll go with process in a slight edge. Entertainment it is but it feels better when you can also win.   

[ShowOff]

I am one of the many people who like the lottery, should I care about the process? I dont think so, even I never knew how the process worked because I depended on luck. Lottery is an easy game in my opinion, but often triggers emotions when the results are not in line with expectations. There is no certain way to guess the exact number every period because the players only depend on 1-10 possibilities out of dozens or hundreds of possibilities.

At least I have played the lottery for 2-3 years, and that made me realize how difficult it is to guess the exact number several times a week. Although there are many ways that are shared on the internet and other media, it is not quite useful because it is basically difficult to guess how the process is to get results.

In the last what matters is if people end up making money or end up losing money would matter to them rather than the process . Also rightly said as it would depend on the game too and so I generally calculate the end result as luck and strategy may work together or may be in some games separately . Though for people who play for fun may be more intro process and the way it is being played .

[shoreno]

for pure based luck like lotto , people dont care on the process too much except from the few that do research , ask for tips ( winining number combination ) , calculating the odd , etc  . but to skill based gambling , people dont depend too much on luck but they everything they can to come up with a method to possibly beat the system  . for me , i do both  . i have tried to do the things that i mention above before when im still addicted on betting on lotto whille now , i mainly foccus on only gambling such as dice  and i have my own fav strat now  .

I would say that most people may on the surface look like they care about the outcome more an anything, but deep at heart they want to experience the thrill of gambling - the process.

If they did actually care about winning then they wouldn't be doing lottery or other games that have high house edges - it makes no rational sense.

At the end of the day it's the shot of dopamine that counts and is what most people gamble for. That's why gambling should be treated as entertainment and not anything else.

[josephdd1]

I agree with what's been said in that outcome if more important for most people an the reason for this I think is that most of the gamblers want results rather than a care much about the process right? Yh, it would be nice to have fun but isn't wining the equivalent of having fun? In fact I know from personal experience that even f it was a pain to register or use the games on a site as long as I won big time is what it mattered. Also our brains are wired to remember outcome over the process of how you got there. I hope this helps putting it in perspective

Nothing new to me because if there is no possibility of winning money in gambling, people will never think about it to get into. So as far as I have seen and experienced, the outcome of gambling is more important than how we are gambling it means why we're gambling for making money or not.

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.

I agree the process of gambling must be more attractive and also addictive which is the core reason why people are re-joining into it even after having many frustrating moments. But, you will slowly understand these attractions are only for getting into but what keeps them playing regardless of all the frustration must be due to the final outcome which is nothing but making easy money.

The lottery has the biggest winnings in any type of gambling. That is the reason why people even not gamblers are interested in placing bets here. The jackpot can change anyone's life.

As for anyone, only the outcome is the most important at any gambler. Since the process of playing the lottery is so simple, just as easy as putting the money and wait for the outcome, there is no hassle at all compared to other gambling types that they need to work on strategy in order to win.

Everyone already knows that winning the jackpot is so slim. But that will not change anyone's mindset not to place a bet at the lottery.

[Heartilly]

Perhaps, people are interested in the possibility of winning, but that would mean they are not really into gambling as the process.

I do believe the same. In a lottery, I think most people don't really into gambling but just want to expect that they will nail the jackpot. No need to become a pure gambler when playing a lottery since, in whatever lottery form, it's easy to play. That kind of convenience of placing bets also droves others into this type of gambling.

For me just let them gamble their money. Sometimes, even at decades, people don't win even once. If you will read some of lottery experience, there are even 20 years of placing bets but still no luck. The continuous losing will make them feel tired of playing so soon, they will stop.

[nelson4lov]

I don't know about everyone but I do care for each and every penny that I gamble with. That said, I feel that both the process and outcomes are very important. I always take out time to analyze matches before moving forward with my bets. If it doesn't turns out as planned, I simply go back to the drawing board and try to figure out where everything went wrong. Reviewing my outcomes have always helped me to improve on my bets.

So both the process and outcomes are very much important.

People like lotteries only because of one thing, big and decent jackpot that is no doubt can be a turning point into becoming rich. A jackpot that other gambling can't generate.

Even people are aware that winning chances of hitting a lottery jackpot is so narrow and slim, their desire for winning that big amount will not be changed. I also agree that most lotto bettors are not into gambling and if you will ask some of them, their gambling habit is only limited in playing lotto. No such thing as people needed to be professional gamblers as playing lotto can be done as easy as 1,2,3.

Here in our country, playing a lottery is big gambling. Even a family that earning below minimum wage does play lotto regularly. Aside from the jackpot, the ticket cost is so cheap and really affordable plus you can see lottery stations here everywhere especially in urban areas making it easy to find.

When you see those outcomes aren't good enough, then we're going to correct that for another future bets. But on my generic mindset between process and outcome, it doesn't matter what process that we're using now because gambling was only a form of entertainment. You may win or rather loss, so even how expert are you with a certain process it's not worth after failing so many times on gambling.
