Whether or not my contributions are helpful is up to the individual reader. I was just adding to the discussion. I didn't mention anything about regularly risking large sums of money (unless $10 is a large sum of money). I said I get nervous when I have a large open bet. Maybe I should have made it more clear by saying "making large bets makes me nervous, so I avoid doing it."
