Betting is basically the wagering of some thing of value or cash in an uncertain event with a equally uncertain result, together with the major intention of winning either cash or merchandise. Gambling therefore requires three elements for it to exist: risk, consideration, and a reward. The first one describes the doubt of the outcome and also the importance one gives for this; the second describes the comparative likelihood of the occurrence of the event and also the significance of this to one's activities; while the third component, the prize, refers to the monetary reimbursement one receives after winning. In gambling, what matters most is that one wins, while what matters least is if one wins or loses. In gambling, there is no such thing as pure win-loss ratio but instead a percentage of wins to losses.
