Topic: Do you regret also for ever knowing about gambling? - page 18. (Read 2882 times)

Op your friend was just being emotional about the whole thing and he let his emotions get in the way of his speech . Just because someone Introduced you to gambling doesn't mean they also have a role or a major as to how you later chose to go about it. From all indications he just looking for whom to take the blame for his irresponsible character and his doing that through emotional blackmailing of your other guy.  I didn't get introduced into gambling by anyone and even if I was introduced I wouldn't go blaming that person for whatever happens to me based on how I approached the activity.

I count every step with joy and I have zero regret for gambling in fact I have become better with gambling and I have been able to learn a couple of thing from gambling that is reflected in my life today such as financial management,  discipline and not to be greedy.

All this I have learned through my mistakes and losses from gambling because most times,  we tend to overdo things some time and that has had a resultant effect on us which we turn to lessons and we are now better off with those lessons,  so for sure,  I have no regret of any form for gambling.

Yes, your gambling perspective is insightful. Not everyone has this nuanced insight. You know, most people struggle with responsible gambling and often go too far. You're right - its about self-knowledge. "strong" people have an edge. They can withstand pressure and storms. But remember that even the strongest can fail. It's about being ready for anything, not not caring. We must watch the fine line between confidence and overconfidence. Strike a balance in gambling, as in life. Recognizing one's fallibility, even in strength, may be the greatest wisdom. Your self-awareness and accountability are admirable.

Sometimes I feel regret when I have large losing streak and this may be common condition experienced by other gamblers, but regret doesn't always appear like that, it just when I spend too much money betting.
But I never blame anyone except myself for why I did this, even though I often give positive advice to other people but actually do bad things like this and sometimes I also have the desire to stop without gambling but in fact it very difficult because gambling is like a place to give I'm a pleasure.

We should have known if they wanted to take advantage of us because we have been friends for a long time and already know their character. If we already know, it depends on how we respond to gambling, and if we see that it doesn't provide any benefit to us, instead of just giving us a lot of losses, we should not gamble too often or even not gamble at all. It will be safer and more profitable for us because we don't have to feel any defeat from them. But usually, we end up getting deeper into gambling and experiencing a lot of problems, so we end up becoming addicted to gambling and start blaming other people, especially the people who introduced us to gambling. And yes, if we are addicted to gambling, we can ask for help from the people around us to help heal us so that we don't have a gambling addiction for long.

I don't regret it as I never felt bad gambling except the few times that I overdid it.I know it is my responsibility to behave correctly,to know when to quit and not go deep down to lose money I cannot afford to lose as that would only bring negative consequences.Based on this I think that it depends on people character,the ones with a weak one most probably regret it a lot while the people with strong character are the ones who don't care what happens to them as they are strong enough to overcome any situation no matter how bad it can be.

And that's what we are as people, a sea of emotions that gets rough at times and calms down the next day. We all have our regrets, so those of us who say they never thought about it are probably lying or are in denial... or never lost a lot of money. When you lose money you automatically have regrets and they can easily go as far as "I wish I never knew gambling" but then we calm down and continue with our lives.
That's why I have to say yes, but I never dwell upon it for too long. It was in a rare occasion when I thought that I bet too much or that I was dumb to do it and that if I had no casino account...
I had such thoughts but I do not regret it in general.

It all starts with some stories and that's the reason why a gambler is happily sharing his experiences due that there's someone who wants to listen with our wins and losses.

You will spot on the person that's taking advantage of you. If you're a new gambler and someone just wants to sign you up under his referral link, this is one of the many possible reasons why he's introducing you to gambling and that's what I can think of but for sure that there are other many way of taking advantage. And if you think that you're forced to do it, just don't do it. But as a newbie and being friendly to that person who's introducing you, I guess that you'll just accept and let it happen.

I do not regret that I am into gambling and someone introduced me to it. But yes, it's all our decision and fault. If the results don't do us any good then there is no need to blame that person that introduced us but only us. Stop pinpointing fingers to others if it's about our personal lives and decisions.

Whenever a person does something they didn't plan on doing, they'll regret it, if the action doesn't have a positive impact. Gamblers who out of loneliness or boredom spend money in gambling will have regret or remorse. Especially when other neglected financial responsibilities begin to pop out of his mind. The blame goes to gambling, for taking all the money meant for other utilities. Hence, gamblers must have a rethink before gambling. Maybe, have other events to distract the mind from going to gamble. When in that condition, boredom, hanging out with friends are also an anti-dote for compulsive gambling, which may lead to problem gambling. Because, if they try to reduce the amount of gambling, the player still has control over the money, he can still increase it, till all his budgets get swept away. Even, during shopping, we do have a budget, but most of the time, it changes when we find ourselves in the mall. The same is true with gambling, discipline, and self-control matters. Those who lose control can windup the initial plan of spending a specific amount in gambling. There, the regrets begin to erupt.

Many criterion contributes to regrets in every gambler's experience. But, we all are expected to accept the responsibility of wagering money in gambling. The decision is ours and not of the casino. Blaming the casino or gambling for our mistake isn't helpful to the gambler. If a gambler blames himself, it'll help him avoid gambling much money next time. But, because they don't acknowledge their mistakes, the urge to repeat the same mistake can't be stopped or controlled. At least stopping when the initial funds, set aside for gambling, have been exhausted is a reasonable idea, in battling addiction. As you said, any gambler that's self-conscious of his gambling self-concept will not regret gambling, for any reason whatsoever. Some gamblers even when they can't afford to play, try as much as possible to do anything within their jurisdiction, including borrowing, to gamble. And if a gambler stops to regret his bad habit, I think he's already on his way to addiction.

Someone introducing us to gambling may be unintentional, But there are still many cases where they are taking advantage of us. They introduce us to gambling so that they can get referral bonuses. This is deplorable.
But in the end, the fault is still ours. Our money and the right to decide still belong to us. If we are addicted, it is because we cannot control ourselves. What we need to do now is to find a way to escape addiction. Asking the closest person to help us is a perfect way because people with an addiction will not be able to escape their gambling addiction on their own.

It is not really any different than regretting drinking alcohol or smoking. If you have a weak personality you will get addicted addicted to something else if it is not gambling. There are many other bad habits in the world. Gambling is just one. Drugs are also have millions of victims all around the world. These people also say the same thing probably. "I wish I never knew about this shiet."  

I also learned about gambling in high-school. At first it looked like I could get rich of it by outsmarting the others but guess what, i was too stupid to realize that I was the one getting outsmarted. The sooner a person solves this mystery, the faster he will realize this simple fact: You can't get rich from gambling.

Those who have regrets are those who risked a lot of money on gambling and they haven't make a lot to recover all they have spent, now they are all in regrets, you see, that's gambling for you and that's why it's not worth risking a lot of your money on.

I mostly take my time off gambling at times because of risk funds aren't available, my mind isn't always about what I will win you know, I only take risks on gambling when I can afford it, this way I already accept the possibility of losing the money.

If you can't afford to lose your money, you can either quit or lower the amount

We all here have memories here from our time at school, whether they were good or bad impressions, whether gambling impressions or other things, regardless of who taught them in the past, let's just say that at that time our minds and thoughts at school were immature, maybe it's something rational, we don't need to blame our friends or other people for our activities, even though currently gambling cannot be separated.


I don't regret it, because unlike before and now, there are many people who are successful in everything, even though they knew about gambling before, The point is to keep thinking professionally, of course that has passed in the past, now we have mature minds to choose what is best or bad for them, there is no one to blame each other.

Why do we see gambling as a bad thing, I believe nobody forced down gambling on anyone with a knife to gamble by force, it was a voluntary act and you love it, don't you? Why regret now or fume about it, even if you ever had the passion wrongly, it should have died by now I think. Most of the time when I see people complain about gambling this and that, it's always people who thought they could make a fortune from it but were disappointed because they didn't win anything as they expected it.

Gambling can be brutal, just yesterday here I had about 3 bets each including Manchester United, one with Home over 0.5 goals, which means I expected them to score at least a goal because they are at home which will be at an advantage for them to fight back, I had another one with a win or draw as double chance, the third one with Bournemouth with under 2.5 because I don't expect them to have more than  3 goals in old Strafford but guess what, they disappointed me big time and I am ashamed to ever trust Manchester United but did I regret ever selecting them, No because that is what any sports bettor would have thought but it is what it is because I'm going to try today result. It's fun though because I don't know what else I will be doing with free time if not for gambling because I'm introverted these days.

No!
Because I discovered gambling with freebitco.in and I confess that it was a very good time when I won a lot of money, it was my gateway to the crypto world.
I know, we can't consider that site exactly as a game of chance (mainly because at the time it was just a faucet), but I complement my answer by saying that I've never been a game addict who lost a lot of money or time on it.
So, gambling is a moment of leisure for me and I would certainly be spending that money and time on other equally "futile" things if I hadn't discovered gambling.

Gambling hasn't brought anything bad into my life or routine, I don't regret having known about it.

Do you regret also for ever knowing about gambling? The simple answer is yes, especially when you have a lost streak and never win.  oh everyone here might now how it feel and at the moment like that there is a glimpse of "why I'm doing this. This is bad for me " etc. at least that is how i feel it. It can be different tho for someone else.

But you can also feel like "God Damn it. This is crazy I can make 100$ in less than an hour" so yeah sometime Regret sometimes feel gambling is right. 

Regretting and being angry with the person who introduced you to gambling will not have any good impact on you, if you feel that after getting to know gambling it makes your life difficult then leave it but if it is also difficult to do because maybe you are already at the addiction stage then ask help the people closest to you who you trust to take you to an expert to start counseling so you can get out of addiction, because I'm sure someone who has introduced you to gambling is just doing it accidentally without the intention of making you addicted.

For a person to go back to the beginning and start blaming the person who introduced him to an online casino, he is a very angry man who couldn't move on. I would also assume this man lost everything from his house, and car, and his own family ditched him for his addiction. Maybe the person who introduced him to gambling has this intention that that person has taken his wife.

Sounds like a Korean movie already.

Yet, they decided to gamble which means that they are willing to try unfortunately, they are not lucky and lose their money. But if they were too lucky at that time, I was expecting that they would say thank you to the person who introduced gambling.

Honestly, we don't need to regret or blame someone for our losses because at the time to decide to gamble, we think that it is okay until we find it wrong.
And because of these social media influencers showing big winnings, we also then think that we can also win that amount. Unfortunately, gambling doesn't guarantee winnings but many people try to chase their luck, gamble more, and lose more.

in the first place, if you really do not want to gamble is up to you. there's no one to blame on your habits but yourself. maybe somebody introduced gambling to you, but at the end of the day, the decision will still come from you. if you are firm with your decision, no one can change your chosen route.
