Reasons for the popularity of lotteries
Australian psychologist Ryan Anderson specializes in player psychology. He considers, that the lottery craze is like a trap. Non-refundable spending stimulates you to buy tickets again and again. Man, spent time and money on lotteries, hopes to win back, return lost.
Lotteries are like a trap
Another reason is the effect of seemingly close gain. If the player has not guessed only one or two numbers, he can't help but buy a ticket again. He wants to try his luck again. And do it until a successful outcome.
Anderson says, that some people buy lotteries solely for entertainment. It's not so much money that motivates them., how much thrill. When the winners are announced, the level of adrenaline and serotonin in many of them increases. And this leads to pleasant experiences in adrenaline-dependent people..
Some gamblers have an illusion about pranks: it seems to them, that the winnings are available to them. And more realistic, than, eg, good earnings. The news about the draws only informs about the victories, and this becomes a source of hope for the best. The psychologist complains about the bias in informing the population: nobody publishes data about, how many ticket buyers were the losers. All articles on this topic apply only to winners.
Increased risk and tough times of crisis – another reason for the passion for lotteries. When businesses close, staff cut, the overall financial situation is getting worse. In such situations, some people think, that winning the lottery will solve all their problems. They find it more realistic., than improving the situation through self-reliance.
Why are intermediaries needed and is it worth trusting them
It is usually impossible to buy direct tickets of world operators in Russia. An intermediary is required. He must place the purchase in the name of the customer. There are many agents, which distribute foreign lotteries in Russia.
You cannot buy tickets directly. An intermediary is required
Are intermediaries really necessary? If there are no other ways of buying, then you can't do without third parties.
The operators running the draws usually have all the necessary licenses, they are officially registered. It makes sense for them to trust their money. There are no such guarantees with agents, there are swindlers among them, so a detailed study of information about the company is required.
Another disadvantage of using intermediaries is the ticket price. Sometimes agents sell them with a wrap up several times relative to the initial cost. truth, this is a justified overstatement of costs. After all, the company has to pay for the work of the staff, take a percentage for your services.
