When you take a “big risk” and it actually pays off, Did you actually take a risk?

Yeah for sure. If u gamble and win you still took a chance. Its more about paying off vs paying for it

it could've gone a million other ways but it went ur way. is it because u have some control over it? obviously not. so what is risk then

[slop slinger]

obviously

it means you just took the risk and got lucky

[kathisterima]

Time only moves forward, so considering you had X outcome from Y action, you can't go back and have Z outcome from Y action. Not just time but infinite other variables can't be replicated so that you have Y action again and get =/= X result. Therefore it's fair to say that Y action always gives X outcome.

but some say otherwise, what if that risk was never there? how do u know if the risk was real

"Did you actually take a risk?" makes risk out to be something "real" or objective, when it's an entirely subjective value that actors attach to actions. It's like saying, "If you thought a song was good, and then think it's bad, was it actually good?"
