Re: Not taking risks can actually be good?

Found this article about not taking risks and it benefitting them. The story is not as relevant but what it said at the start was interesting to me. The risk-taking culture of gambling gets a lot of attention these days far from the floors of any casino: Not only in business — where a willingness to take a risk is an ordinary part of life, at least to a point — but in many other sectors, including government.

Zero risk-taking can lead to stagnation, but too much of it can lead to catastrophe, and the trick is in navigating the difference.

It got me thinking to how this can be applied in gambling. I know that almost all kinds of gambling require some sort of sacrifice and some risk taking but the levels vary. Do you reckon it is better to not risk that much in gambling and just keep playing low risk games and win even small amounts or do you always think that taking big risks is always the way to go?

That's a really interesting perspective. Balancing risk is key, for sure. On one hand, being too cautious can mean missing out on potential wins. On the other hand, jumping into high-risk games can lead to losses that hurt, and nobody wants that.

In gambling, I personally prefer low to medium risk. Sure, the thrill of high-risk games can be tempting, but small consistent wins can add up over time. It's similar to investing; sometimes staying steady and ride the right wave is the smartest play.
