Take risks. But don't let risks take you. When you invest in the stock market, you are taking risks. When you trade in cryptocurrencies, you are a risk taker. When you speculate on forex, you are in the business of risk. But risks are taking you when you play sporty bet, sure odds, pool, or other types of sports betting and gambling. They are taking you like the fool that you are. They are taking your money. You have less than a 1% chance of winning. But you have a 99% chance of whining!
