A friend of mine sold her bet to me 20k Nigerian naira and I bought it because there was a cash-out on the bet, and the cash out was 20k Nigerian naira.
Besides, the games are 21 in total and 19 out of the games have entered so the games was remaining just 2 and that was why I bought the bet with a whole 20k Nigerian naira.

This is the highest risk I have ever taken on gamble.  :)Why I called this the highest risk was because if the remaining 2 games lose I will be the loser and not my friend, so that risk was very terrible but I just have to take the risk because I already have in mind that you can not win if you do not risk. But to cut long story short, I win the bet, this was like sharing the money equally with my friend.
So have you ever taken such a risk on gambe before?

You took an uncalculated risk. Your friend didn`t take any risk because losing 150 Nigerian naira will amount to nothing but using it to get 20k is enough profile already. Maybe if the game had lost it would have amounted to a wrong decision on your path, well that's the risk and it was rewarding after all. But then, we shouldn`t hold on to the saying "you cannot win if you do not risk" and then run into problems. Risk should be taken in such a way that the outcome will not cause damage to our lives. What you did is like placing 20k on 2odds. If that 20k is more than 20% of your income then you shouldn`t try that next time. Remember you might not be this lucky.

I have not taken such a risk and I don`t even hope to take such a risk. I control my stake because it is imbedded in my mind that any money you put into gambling is gone and so I have always used an amount that will not cause regret.  Some will say I don`t take risks but then participating in gambling is already a risk because if I total the money I have lost in gambling, it is big enough to set up a business for myself but I don`t feel it because it is always a minimal part of my income.
