Gambling In Disguise
|
Sometimes gambling takes the form of charitable fundraising. 50-50 draws, school raffles, service club draws, stag and doe parties, penny sales, hospital lotteries and other games might seem like a great way to raise money for a good cause. However, these types of games are just as addictive as other forms of gambling and can lead to the same problems for the gambler.

What are the ODDS?
The odds or chances of winning are very small. Odds are always against the bettor.
The “house” will always have the edge, and the more someone gambles, the more likely they will lose.
Your Big Chance:
Lotto 6/49: 1 in 14 million
Super 7: 1 in 21 million
So to win – you need to buy a ticket every day for 20,000 years
Chance of being in a car accident or drowning:
1 in 20,000
Some people gamble because they think they can “beat the system” or because they feel lucky.
The laws of probability will ensure that if you do “get ahead”, you’ll eventually erase those gains if you keep playing.
