Gambling: process vs outcome

[Darker45]

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 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.

[Sadlife]

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

[TheUltraElite]

I don't understand why people even like lotteries.

Difference in personal taste.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[YuginKadoya]

People are more focus on the outcome rather than the process of picking a number because on the outcome of playing it you will just look at how much they can obtain in winning in lotteries they would look on how much they can obtain if they would win, I have known many people just taking the risk betting on lucky picks were the machine would take a random numbers for them, and a few people that have their most bet numbers in place because most gamblers focus more on the outcome the process in picking number and making analytical research is not necessarily needed because I have seen many gamblers winning in lotteries with just lucky pick.

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.

I think the process and the outcome are both important when it comes to gambling games but it is obvious that the outcome is more of the thing since this is where we could get a profit.
If the process of the game is entertaining I think it could always work since this is one of the reasons to play gambling is for entertainment and profit.

Either way, it could be that the process are just for entertaining because it was just animations that could make the gamble entertaining but also it might be fake that doesn't affect anything in winning.

[aioc]

I am more on the process and forget about the outcome, this is a game of luck if I am lucky or it's my lucky day I could win so I just concentrate on the process, and just feel things as it comes for me gambling is just for entertainment if I lose or win that's fine as long as I can control how I gamble.

[deisik]

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

That is not totally correct

While it is certainly true with respect to a single lottery ticket where you may have to wait for the outcome like a month or so (I don't really know as I don't buy lottery tickets), this is not true if you are participating in a lot of lotteries or in the same lottery where draws are held more frequently than once a month. In this manner, it will feel more like a process to you (read, pretty close to regular gambling like dice) as every day you will be faced with a coming lottery draw and thus experience this form of gambling as a continuous process

[GreatArkansas]

Now, I am still thinking about the difference of the process and outcome;
I think it is much better if we think of advance or think for the long term or benefit of it since we are talking about money here and the lottery.
Lottery is also a form of gambling, so RISK is also there.
But if we manage the process, "TRUST THE PROCESS" as they say, you do the process well and you will get the outcome.
Like, if you do the process with proper risk management, you'll get a good outcome or if it will go bad; it will result a bad outcome; since you manage the process, you may lose some small amount of funds or you will not get hurt too much.

[Capt00]

And I think also that the result might be manipulated. Most lottery players won't look that much as long as they can put their bets and wait for the result. The transparency itself never been given interest to the most and I think that was important (process). Though we've been losing so many times but at least we know how the process is going on and how it was rolled. And this is a reason also why I'm not really giving my interest in a lottery especially when there is questionable results.

[leea-1334]

Outcome of course for me. I really enjoy the process. I play at a few sites and I like leveling up where I play to get more benefits and cashback for example, so of course,,, process is very important to me. But the outcome is the end product and no matter I get there with a good or bad process,,, what can I say to a result?

[AicecreaME]

Yes, this is what they enjoy the most. People like thrills, because when they are playing lottery, after they bet, the excitement is there, the huge expectation that hopefully they could win the jackpot or maybe not the jackpot as long as they are making profits. No matter how many times they would lose, if they win once, it would boost their adrenaline to gambling to play more and more.

And because this game is a pure-luck based game, that is what makes it more exciting and more addicting to play. What I like about this game is that they filter the players, minors can't bet in lotteries here in our country.
