Gambling Rules

Dear Gordon, when you win a £ 1 in the bookies you get your bet plus £ 1.When you "win" a moment on the a‚¬ 1 National Lottery you get your £ 1 game back and win the game nothing.Are flexible laws as they pay for the Olympic stadiums, or simply an insidious form of gambling tax.

Both are two different things.

A bet is an agreement that the loser pays the winner a specified amount. Bookmakers have from the outset for customer participation, otherwise they would never have paid in practice. But you have your game back if you win with whatever the bookmaker has agreed to pay.

In a lottery you buy a ticket that may or may not be something in the future. This is not a gamble, so there is no incentive to return.

The lottery is designed to openly raise funds for good causes, and for the government. If you do not like the odds do not play the game

Interestingly, it is illegal for UK bookmakers to take on paris numbers national lottery. Because they could not make a good profit to pay about £ 40 if you match 3 of 6 rather than £ 10 you get the lottery itself.
