New gamblers are likely to hear words of warning urging them to be weary of taking risks when playing with real money.  And while this has a certain amount of value to it, if no gambler ever took big risks, there would be far less big money winners. out there.

In order to get over the hump of moderate or even return, gamblers often must take risks.  Especially for those who are playing in tournaments or who are on a quest to hit a big jackpot.

It should be apparent that risk-taking has a time and a place.  By no means should a gambler risk more than they are willing to lose (or more than a predetermined loss limit), and by no means should one risk more than their normal stake value every other hand. 

However, if a player feels a hunch inside (every so often) that says to put more money down, or if one finds they are falling behind in an online tournament, taking a risk sometimes makes the difference between winning and losing.
