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? Roll Eyes

Quite simply, betting is for fun and should never be made with the intention to get super rich from it. If you have $100 and would be happy to make $150 or $200 from a semi-risky bet, then you must understand the bookmaker has probably been in business long enough to pick more correct odds than they lose. With that in mind, there are still plenty of times that they make mistakes or misprice the odds, that is where you should be looking to capitalize. Much like picking the right stock at the right time, a selective eye with plenty of practice may be able to distinguish an advantageous bet that is worth taking. Remember you only have to win 51% of the bets that you place at the same odds to walk away with a profit over the long term.

True talk gambling should should not be taken too far by risking huge amounts of money for the purpose of trying to get money gambling should be done within the circumference of entainment and enjoyment because trying to get rich through gambling is like opening a world of regrets to yourself
