Taking unnecessary risk in gambling is mostly done by ignorant people, or those that are newly into the system, well it's understandable because they're ignorant of the risk management of gambling, but what baffles me is seeing experts taking unnecessary risk like betting heavily on risky odds, I consider that unwise cause no matter how rich one is you don't go wasting money all in the name of taking risks. we all know that in event where winning is a 50/50 chance one is required to bet wisely right? Then I wonder why some people would bet heavily on odds above 5 points, some would even risk all their profits to make more profits. The aim of one who wants to be successful in gambling shouldn't be to waste money in the name of taking risks, it's avoiding numerous loses and spending wisely even if you want to take risks it should be calculated risks not risking all your profits to make more profits. Stick to your limits, bet on low risk odds, take profits and don't bet all your profits one very risky odds, and most importantly bet on what you can afford to lose, these are what is expected from a gambler who wants to be successful, not taking unnecessary risks.
Here's the thing. When you gamble you will always going to be hit with the urge to go big or go home, and oftentimes the urge only stockpiles even more the more that you deny answering it. That's what happens to me at the very least. So what I did to make sure that I am able to really follow my gambling style, and still remain afloat, is incorporate a betting system that would make sure I don't lose money one way or another, and a larger bet size that would satisfy my adrenaline rush needs.
Now I'm not saying people should follow behind my footsteps, since people's capacity to gamble and their risk levels aren't going to be the same as I, but for those who can ball, do so in moderation and make sure you don't lose money in the process, you can do so by betting and stopping at certain levels. I don't know man, just some food for thought really.
