- the pain from taking a risk that they take on a bet and they lose, or the pain from regret of not taking a bet that ends up as the winning option, a life-changing amount?
It's better to take the risk of placing a bet and losing the game than not taking the risk at all and later realising that the game played according to the way I predicted it to play.
Just as I write in this thread that, it is always better to take the risk especially when it is the one you can afford to take rather than getting trapped in the boat of regrets of missing out.
Gambling is already a very risky game and anyone getting involved in it should be ready to be responsible for their actions or be ready to miss out from a lot of opportunities or take unnecessary decisions
