If you really consider it, there are actually a remarkable range of life’s situations which are inherently risky. Nearly everything someone does is some type of gambling. Even with such mundane act of getting up and going to work, increases one’s prospects of being killed in a transportation accident. In face of today and everything you know about investing, whether it is in business, an asset class (stocks, bonds, real estate, cash and commodities), or index fund, even in its most basic element, it really is nothing but “betting” that someday tomorrow is going to be better with pleasant expected returns on investment; or maybe not. There is just one big risk you should avoid and that is the risk of doing nothing and not taking your chance.
Come to look-at it in face value, investing in any money market really is, legalized gambling, per se. You can look at investing with regard to chart formation, or you put your hard earned money in the utilities anticipating when they are “due”, you cash in or again maybe not; or you decide to possess any among the hundreds of analysts culling spreadsheets or fund index investors work on the fundamentals of investing for you in manufacturing, real-estate, cash and commodities-no matter what your reasoning for that, if that’s not gambling, then what is? Basically, you are betting that in 5, 10 or 15 years from now there will be lots of individuals, buying more stuff, utilizing more energy, dependent on more gadgets-with hope that you can cash in; or maybe not. You are basically “betting” on all of it.
So it really is, with the lottery-a type of gambling with origins in Florence, Italy, where the very first lottery was held in the 16th Century, then called the Lotto de Firenze, and quickly adopted by other Italian metropolitan areas. It became a national lottery, and still known today as the Lotto in Italy, as also adopted and called in lots of other countries, including the United States Of America. The lottery, as a type of government-licensed gambling, involves drawing of lots for an assortment of winnings and for the massive jackpot prize. Gambling, like poker, blackjack, roulette, sports betting and racing, can involve skill or just chance alone; however the lottery does not require any special skills-set to play.
As with any risk, there is always something at stake. Even when you opt to take the risk of starting a business, you stand to lose money, time and also your reputation. The exact same things you stand to gain whenever you take the opportunity to start your own business. The lots you buy to play the lottery are today in the type of tickets and the prize is often a big sum of money. The draws are random and every player has an equal chance of winning the major prize which often grows really big with massive roll over jackpots.
