War Vs Dol Gambling
With the gambling craze that has recently hit the country, one of the most overlooked, and assumed, issues is that the words gambling, betting and lottery are different names for the same thing.
However, the three are clearly distinct. To start with, lottery is an impulse buy while betting and gambling are pre-planned activities.

DOL vs WAR Betting Tips Up until now, the Warriors have certainly played better as far as the points table is concerned despite being in a similar position in the points table. Cape Cobras have clearly been a side better than both of them and the respective margin of wins demonstrate that. However, the word “gaming” has become so prevalent when referring to the activity of gambling that it is used by official bodies to control the practice. For example, the Nevada Gaming Control Board regulates gambling in the state of Nevada, demonstrating the close relationship between these two terms.

Lottery is a game of chance where winning is entirely random and is determined by the number of people who participate. The proceeds from the sale of tickets are used to award winners as prize money, contribute to a social cause and pay the costs of administering the lottery.
Imagine after doing your shopping, you have some loose change that you will put in your pocket then you see a lottery vendor and purchase a ticket. The purchase is impulsive and random. What drives you to buy is that you have some loose change, and you use it to take a chance to win some money.
Even if you are not lucky this time round, you will still have used your money to support a cause that will benefit the society.
There are currently over 20 betting and lottery companies in the country, and the number is growing. Clearly, this warrants a clear breakdown of the differences, as more Kenyans choose to take part in the rapidly growing industry.
People who participate in the lottery often shy away from gambling and other forms of betting. It is not strange to find ardent participants in the lottery speaking out against gambling. This may seem like a double standard bit it could not be further from the truth.
Betting and gambling require the participant to set aside money. Take sports betting, for instance. One has to make calculated predictions, which calls for planning your resources plus good knowledge of the field you are participating in.
A closer examination of what is entailed in the lottery and in gambling reveals a world of difference between the two concepts.
A lottery is a game of chance whereby you buy a ticket based on your choice of lucky numbers and then you wait for draw day to know the outcome. Winners are then determined in a draw where the numbers are picked randomly by a lottery machine. The outcome does not depend on a more or less predictable fact but purely on chance.
This is not the case with gambling; where the amount of money you stand to win depends on the amount of money you put in. While one may stand a chance to win a large amount of money in gambling, they also stand a higher chance of losing a large amount of money.
A bet, on the other hand, is a pledge made on the outcome of a given event, such as the results of a sports match. The gamer hopes to receive a reward if his prediction comes true. Here, the question of who gets the money depends on the correctness of the 'prediction' or expectation of the bettor.
In the lottery, you know you stand a chance to win by either getting money after the draw or supporting a social cause that is run by the particular lottery. Whether or not you will win is a different matter altogether as the lottery is all about chance and picking random numbers.
The critical difference here is that unlike the rest, the lottery is purely random and no prediction or preplans can be made.
Lastly, to reiterate this point, when you participate in the lottery and do not win, the money still goes to a good cause; such as environmental protection, health or education.
This then becomes a win because your lottery ticket helped to impact a social cause positively. Lotteries worldwide are used by governments and private organisations to transform societies by raising funds.
In the end, like every other game or decision in life, we need to be discerning participants, thus the importance of knowing the difference and making an informed decision.
