Topic: Do you regret also for ever knowing about gambling? - page 20. (Read 2896 times)

Well, if I must be honest, the truth is that, I've never had any course to regret that I got into gambling, and for all I care, I brought myself into gambling, no one brought me, so, even if I ever have to regret gambling, I don't have any body to blame for it other than myself.

There have been some major events in gambling that lead me to some of regrets, but that regret have always been on the particular games I chosed to play, not my gambling activity in general.

Gambling in itself is fun, if you are playing it and controlling yourself against going over board, I personally believe that the only reason why people will regret gambling is, if they become addicted and gambling and losing money they normally weren't ready to lose..
So to enjoy gambling, make sure not to get addicted, and only gamble only with amount you can afford to lose.

Many addicted gamblers who have lost a lot to gambling will be the ones to regret most of their decision to start gambling because of the looses it has put them and how it has badly affected their lives. For any gambler that has benefited like winning a very big amount of money that changed their life, they will always bless the day that they knew what gambling is and the day they started playing. The person with regret is always the person with a bad experience.

Money can be simply spent. Gambling gives a chance to increase the amount of money (it is clear that this chance is small, but still it is better than nothing), also a person gets certain emotions (the main thing - try not to give in too much to excitement). In general, to each his own

I don't regret knowing how to gamble or blame the individual that introduced me to gambling. Those would are blaming their introducers, did the introducer force them to gamble or make them not to be disciplined gamblers as that's what is making them to lose all their money, they're gambling irresponsibly. Many individuals just gamble without thinking about how what they're doing can be negative to their life or not. They gamble for the wrong reason and that's why they're losing.

They're gambling with the only intention of making money and when that doesn't work for them they get frustrated and put the blame on those that introduce them to gambling. That's not how to fix a problem, shifting the blame on other means you don't recognise you have a problem to fix. If you recognize the problem look inwards and you'll see what you're wrongly them you can work on yourself and solve your gambling problems from with in.

A man should own his mistake and face the consequences, blaming someone for his current activity just because he invited him once is his school days to gamble, after all if he is a minor he gambled illegally that is his first ever mistake and he kept doing it until now so its kind of an addiction too and blaming others won't solve anything but will push further into loneliness.

Gambling is normal, 'discovering' gambling or the ability to spend money on anything good or bad is part of growing up.   Alot of people are not the greatest on controlling their budget but there isnt much to regret because we all have to grow up and earn then spend money in hopefully some productive way.   I include beer drinking and anything similar as productive if its not over done, we should be allowed to spend money on a game or gamble if we decide to.   The main factor is controlling the amounts, too much drinking of alchol is clearly beyond bad it can be lethal and I suppose also gambling could be that bad for some adults also but can we regret that we know about gambling I dont think thats the fault to fix.

I do not find anyone who is regretting that he came to know about gambling. I think it is such common these days that there would be hardly anyone who does not know that gambling exists or who does not know how to gamble.

Yes, people regret that they put their live savings in gambling and lost. Also they regret that they do not have good luck in gambling like other successful gamblers but no one regrets that they know about gambling.



Well, when people warn about gambling, they also tell that we need to gamble responsibly and do not blindly put everything in gambling. Now it is the duty of the gambler to keep his mind and eyes open if he wants to gamble. Remember if he takes risk and wins something, the money will be his and if a person does not gamble, again it is his decision.

Nah I do not regret it at all. No matter if it’s a good or bad experience for me, I would definitely appreciate it. I had to admit though that due to my addiction years ago I’ve lost a lot. I was not disciplined back then when I played games such as crash, roulette, hi-lo, dice, etc.

Even though it was just my extra money, but I spent way more than my usual limits due to the temptation that I have in both winning and losing streaks. It is something that I really needed to overcome but it’s so hard once I am already on a streak getting tempted to bet some more.

Right now it’s all about discipline, learning how to control ourselves and just bet some extra money within our own means and not beyond the limits, then we will be just fine.

There are some people here who blame others for their gambling losses. The one person they blame is the one who taught them how to gamble in the first place. It's immature to hold others responsible for your losses. While we can attribute some blame to them for being a negative influence, if you continue to gamble despite not being influenced by your friend, it is not a valid excuse. If you persist in gambling even when you always lose, it is because you enjoy gambling and it's your fault if you always lose.

I bet many people have this regrets right now and that's because they are in losses bigger than they have ever won from gambling, many have dreams and hopes on gambling as their sole provider or their means of changing their life but on their gambling journey for few years they have learned that such dream is not always possible for every gambler.

I honestly don't have any regrets, because in my family we hated gambling so much that it's a normal thing for children in the family to get warned especially about gambling, it's like the family taboo, I remember my father always telling us to never be a fan of gambling, because it's the easiest way to losing yourself.

While growing up I found out that they are warning us because of the possible manipulation that gambling has in one's life, it's easier to strongly believe only in gambling and shun everything else out of your life, until it destroys you, but if my old man is still alive today I will like to tell him that I found my own way with gambling, I gamble without it having any bad effect on me, because I choose to be a responsible gambler and anyone can do it too, if they aren't greedy.

I never regret it because I know gambling and still play gambling often. I feel that gambling is part of entertainment that uses money, and if we are lucky, we will get the money again. But even though I got to know gambling because my friend invited me, I also won't blame him because this is my own desire. Moreover, I have also experienced victory and still want to get more wins even though it won't be easy for me. I never held a grudge against a friend who introduced me to gambling and just thought it was normal.

I agree with your statement as I also share the same view.

While gambling has produced me countless of losses during my youth, I am still grateful for knowing such act as it taught me on how to be responsible for my finances and expenses. Sure, losing hurts like hell but winning in return is fun. The key factor here is knowing how and when to stop in the event of a winning/losing spree as greed can ultimately cause you to lose everything.


Again, we also share the same view on this post. Gambling, while it may be perceived as both positive or negative, the fact remains that it can teach a person on how to be responsible with their finances, although we mostly learn during our failures and losses.

I have bad experiences with gambling and sometimes I regret doing it but still, I gamble because I love to do that despite how many times I lose. I think that blaming, regrets, etc... is not necessary for me and it is because it was my choice to gamble and besides, I don't borrow money from anyone nor do I struggle financially due to gambling, I could still manage to handle my emotions and not fall into addiction.

Like some people here, gambling is not a bad thing as it helps to relieve my stress. Just like doing it for my pastime.

Even regretting it will not return things to the beginning when we were not familiar with gambling. So for me, regret is relative depending on the process, whether it causes you to lose money or whether you are still okay with being able to control your gambling until now. Usually those who regret it are when they were not able to control their gambling and then lost everything, they regret it because they were too ambitious and did not reconsider every decision whatever the risks. Well where do you place yourself is answered by the current conditions.

You have a hate for the guy to blame him on something that he has no influence, anyone you ask about this will tell you that it's not right to blame people who introduce you to gambling you are the one playing it's your money, and it's your decision so you have yourself to blame in case your losses pile up.
Gambling is only for mature people, if you keep blaming people for gambling-related issues, then you should stop gambling it is not for you.

No, I didn't regret knowing how to gamble because It is one of the reason why i became more strict on handling my finances and it helps me to think carefully before spending money on the things that are not important in my life. I can say that gambling really helps me when it comes to the decision making and that's why I don't regret knowing about it. I told myself that Instead of putting my money at risk, guarantee making money or enjoying my time spent

Gambling is for mature minds and not for children. We should always take responsibility for our actions and don't blame others for our actions. We might indeed regret our past lives but since we cannot change it we don't have to bother about them. I have no regret about my gambling life because it has not affected me negatively. I have enjoyed gambling and it has not affected me negatively. I still have a good relationship with my mentor in gambling because he taught me how to gamble responsibly and not to gamble what I cannot afford to lose. I don't have any regrets because I have lost and also benefited from gambling.

It seems like you came up with a good approach so you don't feel any regret in your gambling involvement and that's very good. Honestly for myself I would not say that there are no regrets whatsoever, I admit that personally I regret quite a lot for getting to know this activity because after all this is a little disturbing my personal finances especially when it was still in the early stages of the approach where I entered with a path that could be said to be quite wrong because it came with the motivation of winning from others, but on the other hand now I have begun to be able to minimize some unwanted possibilities by always being strict in applying the limits that I have.

Now that was the problem at the beginning, people only came because they were tempted by the opportunity to win, they did not really think about the risks that were clearly more likely to occur than victory. And also on the other hand, their main mistake is that they put too much hope in gambling, they think that victory is not difficult to achieve, when on the contrary it is defeat that is easier to occur than victory. The wrong mindset makes them unable to accept the risk of losing and they always end up acting out of control by chasing losses to break even, but it is very difficult. That's right guys, gambling is nothing more than entertainment, that's a strong reason why more lose than win.

Getting to know gambling is also another life experience for everyone. Getting a chance to meet other fellow gamblers, have fun together with new friends while playing, and have a fun discussion about different experiences we have in gambling. I don't regret that I learned about gambling, I'm thankful instead as I had the chance to have different experiences in gambling that made me realize many things in life.

The situation with your friend does not make any sense. He's the one who decides with his bet every time he gambles, he was only taught how to gamble but it doesn't mean that person led him to where he is now. His problem is his own, it's the cause of his actions and not the one who teaches him about gambling.

It's easier for some people to blame their misfortunes on others, I guess it makes them feel less responsible for their actions that didn't yield positive fruit. How come that among the friends that gambled together, he was the only one that had to blame another person, does it mean that the other friends had not experienced loses? It goes to show the temperament of the complaining fellow, even if it were not gambling, he'd still complain and blame other people for his misfortune. Best thing is for the friends to try and talk sense into him, so he'll understand that as adults we're responsible for our actions, so far we're not forced into what we do.
