Not taking risks can actually be good?

[Proty]

I believe so much in risk taking because without taking risk there won't be advancement or progress in anything or whatsoever .so risk taking is very essential and is not something that one will overlook in as much as the person wants to progress.so I think it also applies to gambling because if we decide not take risk by gambling or playing low risk game the possibilities of both being successful or not is there.Gambling is a game of luck and such whether it is a high risk game or low risk game our winning is purely based on our luck because there gamblers that may play low risk game and still loss while there are those that will play high risk game and still win.so I think luck play a major role than risk so long as gambling is concerned.

Zero risk-taking can lead to stagnation, but too much of it can lead to catastrophe, and the trick is in navigating the difference.[/i][/url]

The hardest part in gambling has always been the differentiation. It's very easy to predict who's the underdog in a game (assuming the casinos doesn't give a clue through the odds they usually provide), but it's more disturbing to know the actual amount that suits every ticket. Moreso, some risk are just too unnecessary -- like wagering on your favourite club to win against a bigger one, even though the club might be in one of their worst forms that season.

You may decide to bet with something small, only to realize that it would have fetched you more if it were a bigger stake. But, in the midst of your confusion, don't always forget that everything happens vise versa.

Do you reckon it is better to not risk that much in gambling and just keep playing low risk games and win even small amounts or do you always think that taking big risks is always the way to go?

Found this article about not taking risks and it benefitting them. The story is not as relevant but what it said at the start was interesting to me. The risk-taking culture of gambling gets a lot of attention these days far from the floors of any casino: Not only in business — where a willingness to take a risk is an ordinary part of life, at least to a point — but in many other sectors, including government.

It's better to take low risks than going all in, gambling is a game of uncertain outcomes so I wonder why people would even think of taking high risks when they are not sure of the results. It's better to stake low and aim for high rewards than to stake high. This doesn't make you less of a strategic gambler it actually makes you a smart one because you are in control of the risks you take. Risk management is important

Is it not better to think twice in-between the two available options, being stagnant and getting into catastrophe, which is better, to me, being stagnant in what context, that if we don't gamble by taking risk we may not have the chance and opportunity of making money or fun? I'd rather prefer to be this stagnant than running into catastrophe which I may not be able to bear it's consequence.

Everyone want to live way which he feels good for him few love to live stagnant while few love to live catastrophe because they feel better with this way of life even this is not favorite but still option for many because this can bring great escape for them as well.
Gambling is risk if you do not take risk you will never know what you have and what you lost even this is not just gambling in many other things around you this works so taking risk is sometime better option because this brings better options for future.
Peoples those never take risk and want to live stagnant surely missed many things in life which they deserve because life is all about taking risk living without things which can bring serious changes in your life is sometime had big regret which is double below for them.

Why not just avoid gambling altogether? That’s the real definition of not taking any risk.

I'm sure we all know that gambling is risk. That’s the reality, and we can’t deny it. But there are ways to manage that risk, like only betting what you can afford to lose. Most of us gamble for fun anyway, so risk is always going to be part of the deal. If you’re not a responsible gambler, though, it’s probably better to avoid gambling completely, it’s just too risky. Even disciplined people can lose, so what more those who aren’t? That’s just common sense.

You're right. Life is all about risk. You either risk it or you miss it. Someone ones said, not taking risk is a whole new level of risk, and this statement best shows just how important it is to take risks as a human being. Although, while it's both essential and necessary to take risks, it's important to note that not all risks are actually worth taking, some are best avoided because just like gambling, we can't win always, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Same thing goes for risk, after taking a risk, it's either the risk takes you or you get lucky.

Not taking any risks might be good depending on what kind of person you are. Maybe you are the sort of person who can work at one job for 40 years and save the entire time. That person would benefit from never taking risks maybe. For other people, they have to take risks to achieve their goals. As they say, scared money don’t make money.

[Miles2006]

Gambling is not all risky as few people think rather it’s all about the funds use and the game played. We all want to win and for some reason going extra mile might be a good choice yet it can be considered as risk when we can’t afford to lose the money use for betting meanwhile gambling activity can be seen as a normal activity anyone can engage without worry or fear.
Taking big risk is never an option except such person desires something huge from betting which is clearly not guarantee, personally little bet can be relaxing but it’s optional besides we can’t rely on gambling win always and that’s the reason we need to gamble the amount we can afford to lose.

[Shinpako09]

I'd rather take low risk, even with low returns, a win is still a win. We all know how hard it is to win in gambling, and I’ve realized through my years of playing: don’t get too greedy or aim too high. Just be content with small wins. Profit is profit, no matter how small. A small win is still better than a loss. Gambling is already risky, but if you have the chance or the self control to play it low, then go for it. There's no need to take high risks. Gambling isn’t a race, go slow, go low risk.

It all depends on the individual because some gamblers finds it difficult to stake low since they believe that if they stake low and win it will be very small but if it is big, then they tend to get a reasonable amount, knowing that the bigger they stake the bigger they lose and they are comfortable with it, they don't see it has risk but gambling for fun.

Of course not taking risk can be good too and beneficial but then it also limits you from a lot of opportunities, you might save yourself from some financial mistakes in gambling today hy not taking that big risk but you can also be making a very big financial mistake by not taking it, infact in gambling it's always a 50/50 chance for everything, if you try you might loss but stand a chance to win at already but if you don't try you save a little amount of money but then put yourself in a situation of missing out.

It's a viz vice it has a two side either you go for win or you stay for losses.

[Finestream]

The word "too much" means a lot in gambling. It only says to gamble according to what you can afford. Many people gamble with an urge to win, which is not a good idea. Gamble responsibly; that is all about.

Learning how to control ourselves from temptation is the best thing we can do in gambling. It was not because we had a lot of money to lose, but it matters how we manage it.

It was not entertainment anymore if we fell into addiction but rather some kind of mental problem.

[Slow death]

definitely avoiding taking risks is always the best option, whether in gambling, trading, investing, employment or any other activity in the real world. Risks become a big problem when they get out of our control, which is why we always need to avoid taking risks. In the case of gambling, playing with small amounts, something like an amount that even if we lose it will not affect us financially is the best option and not taking the risk of making a bet that would end up with the entire bankroll.

Unless you get lucky and catch bookmakers off guard giving your favorable odds because of mistakes, risk reward ratio holds true under all circumstances. If you take less risk, you'll win less. The issue is that losing a lower odds bet comes at a higher cost so to say and you will need longer to make up for it with lower odds bets. You'll lose less bets on the one hand, but those bets give you less winnings too.

I feel that bookmakers have improved their odds calculations over the past few years. It is difficult to find some bets that really seem to be in players' favor. Normally they get their numbers pretty right on point and there isn't that much of an obvious margin for the players. At times it can still happen, but it's usually not totally off giving you a huge edge.

I think it depends what funds you are using. I like to take higher risks with free bets, but not so much with real money. I guess that is the same for everyone.

Do you reckon it is better to not risk that much in gambling and just keep playing low risk games and win even small amounts or do you always think that taking big risks is always the way to go?

It's quite hard to decide.
IMO, choosing between low-risk, small-win games and high-risk, big-win bets depends on what you seek from the experience as a gambler.  Low-risk play can help extend your time at the tables and may provide more frequent, smaller wins, which some people find more enjoyable and less stressful.  High-risk bets offer the chance for a big payout but come with greater volatility and a higher likelihood of losing quickly.
Since I like to have fun in gambling, I choose to take a low risk and frequent wins.

Speaking of no risk, if you choose this, I think you shouldn't gamble if you don't want to take a risk.

“No risk, no gain”

We take risks every day to achieve goals, and not only when gambling.

You should not be reckless, but you should also not be afraid to take risks. Not taking risks, in my opinion, brings no benefit whatsoever.

And when it comes to betting, it is better not to do it, because when you do, you will have to take risks.

I believe that a sports betting fan or a gambler always has a different risk, these guys must act based on how well they currently understand the situation and see the chances of winning, and therefore in different situations such gambling fans will risk differently: sometimes risking a lot, and sometimes participating where there is almost no risk. Everything depends on the knowledge and details of the situation itself.

Not taking risks = no returns in life.

Of course this applies to many aspects in life. Getting into education, getting a job, choosing a partner, all carry risk but we still do it because we have a vision for our lives and want to spend it happily.

But there comes in the question of risks that can be removed - like things you can leave out of life without having lethal consequences and gambling comes under this group. It should be viewed as such, if you win something big, dont play with it again, if you lose even then stop playing for a while.

This is the basic principle in life is really like this on which its true that if you wont be taking up any risks then you wont be able to gain something but it would be that still depending because taking up risks would be that better if you are doing it on business or investment but not that much as ideal when dealing up with gambling or betting. You are risking up or betting up your money for making money but the actual idea on here is that you do able to have some fun and you should be thinking that you are paying up for the fun that you have got. The key on here is that you shouldnt be that spending into the amount on which is more than on what you can afford to lose. Always set out limits when it comes to spending because this is where people do usually mess up their lives just because they cant be able to
control their gambling urge or simply they cant just that been able to have that control.
