Gambling is basically the wagering of some thing of value or money in an uncertain event with an equally uncertain result, with the major purpose of winning either money or merchandise. Gambling therefore needs three elements for it to exist: danger, consideration, and a reward. The first one refers to the uncertainty of the outcome and the importance one gives to this; the second describes the relative likelihood of this occurrence of this event and the significance of this to one's actions; while the third component, the prize, also refers to the financial compensation one receives after winning. In gambling, what matters most is that one wins, while what matters least is whether one wins or loses. In gambling, there is no such thing as pure win-loss ratio but rather a percentage of wins to losses. |
