Does being innovative also mean being a gambler?
There's a lot of new innovative applications out there everyday and many of them go unnoticed. When I make web designs, I feel like a gambler, hoping that the client approves; when I make mods for games, I feel like a gambler, hoping that gamers will like it; when I do some personal projects founded on some random, innovative idea, I feel like a gambler, hoping that people will like it.

Maybe I gamble too often while working. Although I feel innovative, people and clients don't always like it. I like being innovative. I don't like gambling.

When you're programming/developing/designing, how do you deal with innovation v. gambling?
