It depends on how much you have to risk. Some people have a lot of money when they want to gamble, such person may not be too scared to risk alot just so he makes quicker profits and exist, if he chooses to. For someone having very little funds and wish to ask well make some profits from his gambling activities, he should be smart enough to reduce his risk and gamble responsibly. The idea is to stay long enough to that exact game that would make you a good win. If you are able to manage your risk well, you may end your gambling session in profits.
Well I decided to take some risks and despite losing most sessions the last one was a winning one, it shows that reward come to those who persist though never I suggest this to anyone as an advice, only gamble what you can afford to lose and only risk what you can afford to risk. This was, is and remains the golden rule regarding gambling if you want to be safe from addiction, the more exposed to gambling one person is the more exposed to gambling addiction is, gambling addiction does not come fast though when it comes can hit you really badly so stay safe and be prepared by following the simple rules. The best rule of course is only risk what you can afford to risk, if you have 1000 dollars that you don't need then do whatever you like with that money, it is additional surplus to you.
