People say that life is all about taking risks, people are being motivated by this statement forgetting about the consequences of their actions. A gambler is someone that has accepted the outcome of this risks that he is taking. A true gambler that learns from his mistakes becomes more careful when gambling because he knows the implications and downsides that comes with it when things go wrong
Not everyone sees life as a risk. There are cautious people who avoid risks by any means and I believe it is possible to do so if one truly wants to. If such people decide to play gambling games I think their approach would also be built around avoiding risks and this would be the safest way to engage in activities involving money risks. And for those who believe that risk is a natural part of life they will take risks in everything.
It is better to avoid risks which will save you from its disaster. But if we consider the issue of risk with gambling, then we have to take risks. There is no chance of betting without risk. Those who want to avoid risks, then there is no logic to bet. May be there are some people who are not very interested to get more but those who want to get a big reward from gambling must have the tendency to take risks. I think it is possible to get something good only by those who believe that risk is a part of life and it is not possible to succeed in all financial-related endeavors without risk.
