The risk of losing the money you bet is definitely the same as losing in gambling. This cannot be avoided with certainty, because that is the rule in gambling. The gambling that is carried out is expected to be done with money that is ready to be lost, because the risk of losing in gambling cannot be avoided, let alone eliminated. and the amount of risk that will occur depends on the amount of the bet, the higher the bet, the greater the risk, but no one knows about luck maybe everything can turn around instantly, but don't expect too much that winning will be easy to get.
It's clear that in gambling, in my opinion, it's not right to just hope for a win, because the chance of winning in gambling is very slim and different from the big chance of losing, so if you only think about winning, in my opinion that's the wrong thing, because it's impossible to win easily. You also have to accept the reality of losses that inevitably occur in gambling.
You are right, the risk taken to lose or increase the money is actually gambling itself and the exact amount used in the bet refers to this. In fact, I think we both explained our views differently from different perspectives because as far as I understand, what you want to explain is the determination of the amount of money to be used in gambling and the risk posed by using that money in gambling as a result of this decision. What I want to explain is that it depends entirely on the preferences within the gambling itself. I would like to give an example other than sports betting;
Let's imagine that there is a wheel game and there are five possibilities in this wheel. Let these possibilities provide a profit of 0%, 25%, 50%, 100% and 500% of the bet amount, respectively. Again, the probability of these possibilities coming is as follows;
0% chance of winning: 35%
25% chance of winning: 30%
50% chance of winning: 25%
100% chance of winning: 8%
500% chance of winning: 2%
Using the example here, let's assume that a gambler bets with 10 units of money. In this scenario, your point is that this gambler gambles away 10 units of his/her money and takes this risk to make a profit. The point I want to explain is that this person can win by dividing his/her entire balance into 5 or 10 different games instead of using it in a single game, considering the 500% chance of winning.
I continue with the point I want to explain;
Let's say this gambler loses all his/her money in a single game with a 0% chance of winning. In this case, he/she took a high risk and aimed for a 500% chance of profit with his/her 10 units of money and took this risk to earn 50 units of money. When the same gambler plays 10 different games with 10 units of money, he/she gets a 0% chance of winning 5 times, a 100% chance of winning 3 times and a 500% chance of winning 2 times. In this case, he/she has ensured the risk of the money he/she risked to spend on gambling through capital management and in return he/she will have 18 units of money.
I hope that with this example I was able to accurately convey the points that we both wanted to explain and to compare our thoughts correctly.
