Do you like the phrase "responsible risk"? What meaning do you put into this concept? Is your risk responsible? How many players, in your opinion, have responsible risk?
Is there a difference between a responsible risk and a calculated risk or is it just about semantics? Because I feel here that if you take a calculator risk you are already irresponsible gambler. A calculated risk is one where in you have done your analysis and you have estimated what the outcome would look like and you take the risk based on that your analysis. Also there are people I know who just take risk without any calculations but it is not like an irresponsible risk or a non-calculated risk but it's just something in between. I don't even know how to classify them.

Good question, I think it's just the same as least from what I understand, so it's just for the semantics. So in any case, we might have considered everything, from our analysis to our decision. And we could also add that many gamblers might not see, we should accept that everything will not go on our favor, lot of uncertainty.

So we really need to be responsible, learn from our experience. This is base on my personal experience, there are times that when I gamble and I'm losing, I will feel that I have to stop and not force the issue as I might lose more. So for me that is responsible gambling, stop early.
