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

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.

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.

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?
