and those who don't bet will never win
that's why some say "bet more"
but this brings some sad outcomes to society too like having lots of addicted people
What you say makes perfect sense, We must start from something, a fundamental principle, We must take risks in every area of life, I believe that those who don't risk don't win, Those who don't play or bet much have a diminishing chance of winning, despite the house edge, But it must be done, And do it more? Yes, but do it responsibly, Do it only with the money you're willing to lose, and have the discipline to say no more when you lose.
I completely agree that one shouldn't risk more than what they can afford to lose
this is a must,
regarding taking risks, I think it depends, I know really happy people working on a 9 to 5, saving slowly with bonds and really risk averse.
I think the distribution of risk appetite in society makes a really interesting envinroment, so cool to observe the differences among individuals.
