English term

you are leaving yourself open to enormous losses.

English to Portuguese Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
Betting and gambling are suitable for discrete events but not for continuous processes. If you introduce the behavioral characteristics of betting or gambling into a continuous process, you are leaving yourself open to enormous losses. In betting and gambling games, you wager and wait to see if you are right or to experience some excitement, respectively.
