Do you think it is everyone that has the ability to learn from their mistakes, I do not think so because some people keep repeating the same mistakes that they have made long ago which shows that they did not learn any lesson after making the mistake formerly. And if you ask yourself why do some people keep repeating some mistakes you notice that it is because some people do not know that there is a lesson for them to learn in every mistake they make so instead of moving on and learning the mistake they dwell on that mistake without learning the lesson and it keeps representing itself.

I think it does not only apply to gambling but also in all aspects of life. Commiting mistakes and getting hurt from them is the most effective way for us to to stumble against the same rock once and once again.
In the case of gambling, I have a personal history myself a out getting more responsible because of my previous losses, it were not many though, but those certainly changed me as a person.
I used to play dices a lot using the typical strategy of newbie, using high wager and low risk, in order to to slowly accumulate a good possible earning from the session. Though, the inevitable happened and I ended up losing the same high wager I was risking with that foolish strategy.
since that experience I have never thought on doing the same on dices, and I have opted to rather to use a moderate wager and vary my risk with dices.
I believe that is the only personal story I can share and I does not have third party stories from my family, since most of them do not like to gamble on casino games, just a cousin.

I agree with that.
Mistakes will make us learn a lot of things. Those who walked the hard way know this. But, it will also be nice to minimize those mistakes. Listen to those who made it or read carefully whatever they say and maybe that will save you at one point when you are in the same position.
That's why I love reading in this forum because somehow I come back to being a newbie and learn something new about the experience of another gambler. There are times I remember forum member's words and it will somehow save me or make me calm avoiding another mistake that could empty my wallet in a rush. There are times I get so frustrated that I will just keep on pressing the bet button forgetting to calm down and maybe switch to another game.

Mistakes really taught us important and valuable lessons in almost everything we do in life. As per gambling most common mistake I did is decision making especially placing bets which will lead to greed sometimes. But we learned from those mistakes that is what it should be as a responsible gambler.
It is quiet to see and I believe that all of us commit mistakes, a situation that also changes our gambling approach and behavior.
Of course, it is not in our mind and we try to avoid mistakes but still, it comes to us no matter what we do. But this thing sends us a message that every mistake we make has a positive result and one thing is that we improve and change our style to a better one. We could just think that we have to limit our gambling time, stop being greedy, and avoid addiction because we already know the outcomes as it happened to us in the past and we don't let it happen again.
Therefore, I would say that we don't have to be afraid of committing mistakes because this also helps us to see things that we need to change and become a responsible gambler.
Making mistakes is in fact very good as it prepares us for the future, if I had not made mistakes earlier in my gambling activities when I was much younger, I may never had learnt how to gamble responsibly and making such mistakes now at my level would seem very detrimental to me. One thing is certain, make sure to learn from your mistakes, else you are not growing and allowing what hurt you yesterday to repeat itself today is pure lack of wisdom on your path.Of course, it is not in our mind and we try to avoid mistakes but still, it comes to us no matter what we do.

Its painful that some people who have been hurt before by overindulgence in gambling still don't learn from it and wave it off as a bad strategy and instead of embracing gambling in moderation, they veer off to trying another strategy and still losing their funds in the process and in the end they get really desperate for recovery having acquired some loans or there about to fund their gambling excesses. This time they get into some more real trouble, and all these may have resulted from them not learning from their mistakes which is very bad.

A simple rephrase my friend. “Committing mistakes helps you to become an addicted gambler”
That’s the sole and only truth. Why ? The more mistakes you make; the more you want to correct and perfect the mistakes, the more you gamble, and the closer you are to become an addicted gamblers
Again, do not fall in love with gambling; it is harmful
Not only as a gambler but as an individual. Everyone commits a mistake but not all people are learning from those instances and actions. With gambling, for sure it is a common mistake that we bet too much and regret afterwards. Same goes with chasing both profit and loss. Gambling's logic is just simple; your fate will determine the outcome. You could either lose or win however nothing's certain. This should be an enough warning for us to manage the risk of losing through our bets. If you cannot afford losing that amount, then why would you do it? Everyone wants to earn big profit from gambling but no one will have the assurance to do so.
I agree with @slapper. You are bound to repeat the same mistake again even you took notes the last time it happened unless you commit to staying disciplined when a similar situation arises. Mistakes provide a window to learn but it shouldn't be used as a baseline. Sometimes, we can even opt to learn from other people's mistakes and utilize the knowledge on our own end to avoid the mistakes. You don't always have to make mistakes to learn.
Self discipline is a virtue that not all people could imply to themselves. But I agree with learning from other people's mistakes and it might just be in some instances, we would be learning lessons in life the hard way and the only way to get over it is to seek for a change. 
Therefore, I would say that we don't have to be afraid of committing mistakes because this also helps us to see things that we need to change and become a responsible gambler.
Committing mistakes doesn't change anybody, only learning from it and not repeating it again make us being a responsible person whether it is in gambling or in anything that we do. We should not be afraid of taking risks cause that is what the life is all about but also there is no point of making mistakes in gambling when you can approach with less riskier way of not losing your money if you don't want to which means if you are not ready to lose money in gambling then better don't gamble at all.
People can learn from mistakes. Those who stay away from a task because of mistakes will not receive proper education. But it is also true that money has a deep connection with gambling. If someone makes a big mistake in gambling then he has to pay for that mistake in exchange of money. Before a gambler starts gambling, they must know some basics. Although there are many who start gambling without any experience and gradually gain knowledge there. But what I want to emphasize is that when you make a mistake in gambling, you can take that mistake to learn. But if the same mistake is repeated again and again then there is no chance to call it a mistake.
Therefore, I would say that we don't have to be afraid of committing mistakes because this also helps us to see things that we need to change and become a responsible gambler.
Feeling reluctant and not trying to avoid making mistakes might end up only leading the person to make continuous mistakes instead of trying as much as possible to avoid them. I know no matter how hard we try to avoid mistakes, we cannot completely avoid them. We learn from the mistakes we make in gambling, and it's entirely okay for us to feel bad about those mistakes, even as they contribute to our learning process. Feeling a little bit of pain will make the person take corrections next time in order to avoid repeating such mistakes.
Very true, in gambling, you have to learn from your mistakes there's no place for stubbornness or you are going to lose a lot of money you must know your limitations in gambling and you can only learn those limitations from the many mistakes that you're going to commit.
Yes gambling is never an opportunity or an investment and this is the first misconception of many, It is a game of fun and if you ignore this that's one of the biggest mistakes you will commit in gambling.

Making mistakes can be of two kind, the ones we will make and then it will turn to favour on us and the other in which we are going to make and tun to a costly one, though there is this chances that we are going to learn from mistakes made previously and with that, we are going to avoid making repetition of that same mistake, though not until we make mistakes before we can turn a responsible gambler, we can always avoid it and still gamble responsibly.
Indeed, doing some mistakes sometimes isn't that bad as long as you learn from the experience and never fall into the same mistake again. Learning from a mistake gives you a stronger view and an experience in whatever you've mistaken before giving you the opportunity to master that thing.
In gambling falling in mistakes might cause you some losses such as being irresponsible sometimes not thinking twice before putting a bet for example betting with an amount you can't afford losing, after the loss you certainly feel the consequence of that action because you are going to struggle being a little broke for a while, so after that next time you will bet with an amount you can afford losing.
I think you need to be a conscious person in order to not fall into the same mistake again and instead learn from it, because unfortunately, there are a lot of people who aren't able to learn from mistakes you find them doing the same things over and over. I advise every gambler to not feel bad about doing a mistake and try to translate that mistake into an experience he can learn from.

Yes, everyone has made mistakes and not only in gambling but also in other matters, but not everyone learns from their mistakes in gambling because the fact that I have seen so far in gambling life is that it is almost impossible for many gamblers to want to learn from their mistakes. unless he really goes bankrupt due to a gambling addiction, so he will gamble more responsibly so as not to make the same mistakes as before, this will definitely be done by everyone, even non-gamblers will also do it.
I have also made mistakes and even an expert in gambling has also done it or let's say a professional in gambling, the point is that an intelligent person will usually learn from the mistakes he made at the beginning, not at the end, so that in the next game he doesn't experience the same mistake or lost badly, lost a lot of money, all gamblers should think like that when they experience losses and mistakes in gambling, what should they do so they don't experience the same mistakes, that's why I'm not addicted to gambling because I learned from my mistakes, which have always considered gambling as a place to find money turns out to be wrong, in fact I think the gambling I play now is only for entertainment.

Yep, we all want good things but before we get the good things we have to go through the bad things. With gambling, because I am also aware of my responsibility, I do not want any behavior to lead to things that directly affect myself and those around me.
The journey of overcoming mistakes will definitely make us stronger. Even when I see people who cannot overcome them, I really thank them because they clearly describe their behavior as a warning to every other player. Looking at problems responsibly will help us make decisions within control.

Yeah unfortunately the title is very true.
I did plenty of mistakes, especially when I started using bitcoin several years ago.
Often enough I mistyped the wager amount and instead of for example betting 0.001 I used 0.01, this happened to me like 3 times and every single time I lost for some unlucky reason.
Another mistake I used to make sometimes is not gathering proper informations about games I bet on. Home court advantage is very important at for example basketball but sometimes they play on a neutral venue and this can have a big impact. Of course at the bookie site they don't write it's a neutral court and you just think they play at home.
Made this mistake of not checking in the past but after that I always checked just to be sure.

Every failed bet can wake you up or dig you deeper. You might learn, but you might also repeat bad decisions. That we always learn from our mistakes? Bullshit. Gambling is especially addictive. Just knowing to bet less or play less isn't enough. You must stick to those restrictions, which is difficult. I support responsible gambling, but using mishaps as lessons? Shouldn't you set restrictions before starting? Consult a specialist for strategic assistance. Build a safety net instead of waiting for a calamity to teach you. Plan and set limits, then follow them. That's how you regulate your gambling, not by chasing losses and hope for the best.

I know mistakes are part of learning process that we can't avoid all that comes our way. Because no one is above mistake does not mean one need to take things lightly and to do nothing to avoid mistake. As humans we need to learn to avoid some certain mistakes and another thing which we need not take for granted is not to learn from our mistakes and still allows it to repeat again. One thing I observe from many gamblers is that they don't learn from their mistakes but has the habit of repeating their mistakes by playing with amount that they can't afford to lose. I think this is a mistake but some gamblers don't sees it as a mistake but if you ask they would say they are taking risk because gambling is all about risk taking. Of course, it is not in our mind and we try to avoid mistakes but still, it comes to us no matter what we do.

And as many people say, mistakes can be called the beginning of success if someone can correct and learn from their mistakes well, because everyone wants the truth and that truth must be achieved through mistakes or failures to make it better.The same thing also happens with gambling, maybe the beginning of gambling makes us play without control which makes us play excessively, play with ambition and emotion. And also chasing defeat because we don't accept previous defeats and play again to chase defeat, and over time we can fix all this and realize that it was all a big mistake.
And from all of that we can learn and also correct all existing mistakes to become responsible gamblers and play with full awareness, because playing with full awareness we can have the ability to control all of that.
