A lot of gamblers are misguided by the popular saying "no risk no reward" but the thing about risks is that you don't really know if it would be profitable to you or it's going to end up ruining you. Just because someone took a big risk and benefitted from it doesn't mean that you would also get the same result. It's a 50/50 thing, you can either win or lose. This is the reason why it's smarter to take calculated and responsible risks only.
This is how smart players think and I will never say that the one who won big money in gambling is a smart person, first of all he is lucky, and then I would look at what strategy he played and how he controlled his risks. Because if he put everything on one bet, then he was just lucky, any of the players could have done it. It's just that such wins and bragging of those who won are not important, because behind one big win there can be hundreds of losses of other players. Perhaps such headlines that somewhere someone won a large sum of money will impress someone and make emotions, but it will not be me.
