Long and short odds
A distinction is made between less and more addictive games of chance. Risky games are called “short odd” games. They are games with a short time between the bet and the visibility of profit or loss. Because it is so quick, the incentive to gamble again is very high. These types of games often produce gambling addiction.
A “long odds” game is a game of chance with a long time between the bet and the outcome, like a lottery. These games are not as risky because you are less likely to become addicted to them.
