Personally, I prefer higher odds to win, but smaller winnings, than low odds but big winnings. In my opinion the lottery game has too negligible a chance of being involved.

A few years ago I stopped buying lottery tickets, although I used to buy them from time to time. There were times when I won, but it was ridiculous money, which barely paid back the tickets I bought.
...

The same here. As much as I understand the appeal of lotteries and why people play them, but for me it's all about the odds (maybe with the exception of some charitable lotteries/raffles with funds going to a good cause).

I've started a separate topic with a poll relating to national lotteries, if anyone's interested and want to vote and contribute to the discussion, you can find it >here<

I used to bet with lower odds before but I didn't think it was all worth it. When I tried betting with higher odds I had a better hope of winning. Well, we all have different preferences based on the risk that we could take and the target profit that we want to gain. Some gamblers prefer to win big rewards despite the higher risk but what important is we could handle things as well as our emotions wisely.

What does this mean, maybe in the next match going with the higher odds will loss. Because, it is not about the odds it is about the luck. Risk is part of gambling, and without risking it is impossible to experience the outcome of gambling. One thing important is the emotional control, whether we're on the winning/losing streak we should have the emotional control. Only then we were able to have good gambling experience amidst the loss/win.
