How much risk is it worth taking?

[Z_MBFM]

In all cases, one must take risks to do well, but that risk should be in the right place and one should not always panic and take high risks. In the case of gambling, everything is risky, everything depends on luck. The better the four luck, the better he can do in this sector. However, I have not seen that many people have good luck. Many people can win big jackpots by their luck but cannot keep them because they are too excited and they continue gambling with their winnings without putting them away and they have expectations that they will win more. And then their taking this risk becomes completely irrational.

[ShowOff]

In my personal point of view I think that we have to keep this in our mind that we take risk in gambling for the entertainment not making or generating the money as a income source. And every bucks we stake here are on risk we can lose all of that or win some more money that's means it is fully depends on our luck. So it will be fully foolishness if anyone taking the risk in gambling beyond of his affordability.

Never bet money beyond your means, because basically the risks taken in gambling are never worth it when viewed from the perspective of the chances of winning. When deciding to gamble, assume that the money you have budgeted will not come back, and if you are lucky, don't forget to withdraw your initial capital. In addition, the time spent gambling is actually much more important to pay attention to, so as not to have a bad impact and interfere with work.

Many people from the lower classes or poor people make gambling a source of income, I think that is understandable. The bad impacts that arise may no longer have much effect on their lives, because they bet in small amounts. It's just that they have difficulty stopping it, it has become part of their life cycle.

And for you, when does the risk start to no longer be worth it?

If once in a while, you take risk that's somehow aimed at just hitting it big, there's nothing wrong about it and a lot of times, it's one way of trying out how lucky you can be as a bettor, but outside of that, if it pushes you to chasing after your loses and you discover you're losing quite a huge amount of money due to the frequency of risking too much money on a bet, it then becomes a problem you should certainly look into and find a good solution that will give you a fix as soon as you can.

Once you can't make certain expenses or can't meet up your needs because of the gambling risk you've taken, it only means that it's time to call it a quite or really slow down on your gambling. Never Join the crowed in betting with an amount that you're certain is above your means just so you can be part of the hype. As long as you do you and everything you're doing is within your limit, then you certainly don't have an issue whatever.

Is it worth it to gamble without thinking? Or to get caught up in the idea that you'll solve your problems with a stroke of luck? Difficult, right? The truth is that if you're going to take risks, you have to do it consciously. Don't bet what you can't afford to lose.

If sports betting is involved, never bet without doing an analysis. Doing an analysis will give you a chance to win, gain experience, and develop your insight.
If it's a luck-based game, then we can rely on insight, intuition, and past analysis. Our expectation is based on luck and probability, and both require us to be conscious of what we are doing. If we are not, then we cannot accept the outcome.

However, when the risk is well thought out, with limits and strategy, it can even be worth it. The important thing is to know how far you can go without getting lost along the way.

And for you, when does the risk start to no longer be worth it? 

The risk amount we can take should be individual because we can't use the same criteria for everybody. I might have a high risk but the next gambler mightn't but when we don't know about this and decide to take the same amount of risk, one users gets to lose money and can't accept this reality while the other user is still comfortable because he was prepared for the risk and still has more money than he can use for further bets. My risk aren't always big because I don't like to lose money but for those that can take higher risk, they have higher chances of winning which is good for them but I won't change my strategy because I'm already comfortable with the profits I get. The profits mightn't be that big but they're comfortable.

[nara1892]

Gambling without thinking? That's the same as us approaching many financial disasters, in gambling the only thing that can save us is a rational mindset, and it has been proven that gamblers who play based on emotions always end badly.

Ideal risk taking must always be based on a good mindset because it takes a lot of consideration before making a decision, for me myself, risk taking usually becomes unstable, namely when I take the wrong time to gamble, such as when I am having personal problems while I fill that time with gambling which ultimately makes my mental and psychology already controlled and this is the reason why a gambler must know when is the right time to start and end.

Risk is the reason for reward, there is no reward without risks even in gambling same factual principles are applicable. That's is why the higher the risk you take the more likely the reward and loss as well. As gamblers there is a need to apply proper risk management so as to keep a smooth and healthy gambling lifestyle, it's quite important we understand that gamble is not a center for charity but a place of losses and wins, we're the losses tends to be more than the win, with this mindset I believe alot of person would work on their emotions not to let the circumstances determine their gambling outcome, but rather try to be in control of the session.

Any risk which leads to where the person uses more than an amount they can afford to risk, I no longer consider that to be a risk; rather, it's on the level of stupidity, knowing fully well that money wagered in gambling is more than 50% gone and winning with that money is under probability, and as such, we should proceed with caution.

And for you, when does the risk start to no longer be worth it? 

Once it gets to a point where I consider myself to be spending more than I usually spend on gambling and there is no luck leading to me winning much and the money is just going without any profit, I will consider it to be wastage and will refrain from it and go back to gambling with little money, which I can't consider to be as risky.

It looks like you`re talking not about risk, but about money management. All you calculate is money you have, but it doesn`t tell what risk is ok for you. For example: i ready to risk 10% of my bankroll when i see equal teams but the odds higher than 10.

And you mean that gambling is not the right place to risk?

Well, it was right. A reason why we just spend ONLY extra money for this is to avoid compromising our finances. It was the fact that many people fail because they think that gambling is a way to multiply their money. Unfortunately, this is the way to make them poor and ruin their lives when addicted.

We can take risks with other things. But taking risks with money in gambling is not a good idea.

The right risk. Well, I doubt it is in gambling because it's mostly a high-risk type of hobby, and we cannot expect anything from it in the short run or even the long run. Might as well just enjoy the ecstasy of betting in sports while putting some money on the line.

The thing about gambling is that it doesn't really give back the way we wanted it to. It's not a charity, and we might as well accept that fact so that we won't be hurt in the process. Enjoying every bet is all we can do, and that might be the only perks that we can get out of it. It's too risky to be an investment, so it should not be one of the choices for profitable reasons.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

Desist from taking a risk of you can't afford it, some risk are too much for us to take, most especially when we compare the benefits and the conditions attached, we may see them as a long term threat on us to go for what we can't afford to lose, there is no big risk or small one, risk are the same, it's either we took them or we let go of them, after we must have weighed the conditions attached.

[rachael9385]

All risks are useful are worth to be take if the total sum Is positive at the end. I think its all directly linked on the balance that you have.
Best option Is always to have a budget and a strategy. Be ready for a Plan B but always have a clear plan if you're betting huge amounts/you want reach a profit...

You can't really determine the outcome of a risk so if you continue taking uncalculated risks they are not worth it even though you end up getting lucky In the end it's still a crazy thing to do because if things were to go south it would have affected you a lot. The best thing to do at all times is to stake low, taking a lot of risk can put you under duress which isn't good for yourself physical and mental health

Gambling can be funny, you over think something guess what you might have just created a thread of fear and that winning outsider you were about to pick just changed..that is why if I have to think hard about something am better walking away from such, and its something that I have seen work several times.

And for you, when does the risk start to no longer be worth it? 

let's just say when it comes to risk, I always prefer to have a shot at something without going all in as this means you get a fighting chance to win what was lost..but of course not chasing losses.

[EarnOnVictor]

Is it worth it to gamble without thinking?

Yes, if money is not involved. But if the motive of the gambling is to earn money, then it's not worth it to gamble without money. However, the beauty of gambling is the money itself, and the industry would not have been this thriving if not for the money involved.

And for you, when does the risk start to no longer be worth it?

When I have a losing streak, but continue to take emotional risks.

I don't get it. How can gambling not involve money? Gambling will always involve money, even if someone doesn't gamble specifically for gains, money is still there because you need money to gamble in the first place. I don't understand how one can take risks without involving money, and if you mean that if someone gambles without money it means they are not gambling for wins, then it means they don't take risks because you don't make large bets and try to win a lot of money if you are gambling only for fun.

The biggest instigator of huge risks is greed, and greed is only there if someone is looking to make money, a lot of it, because someone who is gambling to get entertained won't have a greedy nature, but someone who thinks gambling can make them rich, or at least make them good money, will think that if they make higher bets, they will win higher amounts, and this thing makes them take bigger risks.

I would say it's not worth it, knowing that you will either win or lose, but in most cases, you will lose because gambling isn't supposed to make you money but it is supposed to make money from you.

Taking risks is part of life. Sometimes it's how we grow, learn and achieve something new. But there are also times when risk can turn into a headache, especially when it comes to gambling.

At times risks most be involved in our success but is that’s most of the people didn’t understand and they want to become something in future without including a risk we all know that is good to avoid risk, but there’s some stage that we need to had it with risks in other to achieve what he/she want. The only thing that is there is we come to take risks we should take the one we can afford to lose, that’s all about it.

But some will go and take the risk that’s over pass there power and later regret at the end of day this life we’re living in now everything goes with calculation, we can just go ahead with something that will make you find yourself in a terrible situation, I think that is not good idea as a gambler.

[Ullaa]

This question comes up all the time, especially when the subject involves money, bets or decisions that can turn out well... or very badly.

Honestly I think danger ceases being worth it the moment it starts harming your peace of mind or the well being of people around you. Like you stated there’s a difference between taking a calculated risk and just wagering on hope. I’ve seen people chase short cures especially with money and it rarely ends well but I’ve also seen folks take sensible risks and come out stronger. For me the line is drawn when the consequences start outweighing the probable reward. If I can’t manage the worst case scenario I probably shouldn’t go for it

Well, yeah gambling is a charity centre and we always hope to win. But, also gambling cannot earn you money and must be only a means of entertainment otherwise it becomes a problem very quickly. No doubt, you visit a casino to win money while having fun and sometimes winning is the only entertainment and you need to take risk to win. But, the risk you are taking must be only what you can afford to lose, so just deposit what you can lose.

I'd say one good way of minimizing losses and risks is to set a clear target right as you deposit. Once that target is achieved, don't overthink and just withdraw and leave. Then again deposit once you feel the need to gamble .

Sorry but I will have to disagree with you on your opinion that there are no big and small risks, risks are not clearly the same and indeed, there are big and small risks, and I understand perfectly that we as humans takes risks every day in various forms but then, risks are of different levels and come with different degrees of reward as well..

For example, you can't say that the risk that comes with investing in bitcoin is the same level of risk that comes with investing in a memecoin on pump.fun, and you can't also say that the level of risk involved with going into your own business is the same level of risk that comes with gambling, they are all not the same level of risk and so also do they come with different levels of reward as well, best thing a person can do for him or herself is to find the risk level they are most comfortable with and bet on only games with that same risk level, never going for any thing higher since they already know that losing their money could become a big problem for them.
