Topic: Do you regret also for ever knowing about gambling? - page 7. (Read 2653 times)

Its an impossible argument really if you appreciate that risk and gambling is actually a natural occurrence in life not a made up game particularly though we play it like that, there is a risk and unknown element to lots of things we do in life including the money we spend every day.  Hence I think everything is a gamble and in fact I learnt statistics and probability in my higher maths course during my studies, it was normal to appreciate all subjects include the idea of a gamble being part of life.
  To say I discovered gambling or learnt about it is not how I would phrase it I think we as people always know about this subject.   Whats correct to learn is the right attitude towards gambling, the correct amount of risks to take in life to be safe when you can be and also money management.  So im glad I learnt probability and statistics as part of my maths but its probably best for children growing to learn to manage their money in some way to know when to spend on bills or food and other essentials it separate ways thats a good thing to know always.

Yes, there are really some points i did make out those kind of explaination on telling about the good and the bad or simply its pros and con's but in the end you have been that blamed out into their losses on which it would really be giving out that kind of frustrations and would really be ending up on finalizing or telling into yourself that its never been that good on telling someone about things which you might really be that ended up on becoming that bad man into their eyes. Im not really that liking on having that kind of treatment and this is why it would be better that i should go solo
on things and wont really be tending up on tell anyone on the things that im dealing with so that there would be no issues and other things that would be happening.

No. Do not say it that way. Weren’t you introduced by someone to crypto? Even if you discovered it by yourself, it is too much good information to not share with your peers. People will definitely be funny but you can always tell them about it and caution them strictly that you aren’t responsible for their loss. I think it’s best that when we talk about cryptocurrency at large, we need to talk about both the good and the bad part of it so the person who you’re introductions will know that it’s not all green grass.

Gambling will always have a negative impact on those who do not play responsibly. Moreover, in villages gambling will always be seen as bad and even associated with crime. because it's like that in my country, that's why gambling in my country is still prohibited (illegal) because it goes against social norms.

But if we gamble responsibly then gambling will have a positive impact because by gambling we are not lonely for example or because of gambling we can have fun and so on. Gambling can be positive or negative depending on the person, and also depending on the angle.

Unfortunately there are way too many people who gamble and then lose and then blames everything else but themselves about it. That's quite common and a sad situation. I do believe that it is not that easy to handle the loss and I think too many people make something out of it. I get that it is not that common, but we need to make sure that it could get to a point where it could be fair and sustained.

Just realize that gambling could end up causing a lot of trouble for a lot of people, and we need to just make sure that it all goes according to the plan. I believe that we need to just focus on what we could do, and if that works out well enough ,we could just gamble for fun and not end up blaming others when we have any loss.

I think yes @OP. The question is being asked because one of your friend blames his other friend from getting him involved in gambling. It may seem childish for us but for your friend maybe it is a serious matter because he didn't forget it even after many years have passed.

Blaming like that is common and it doesn't need for us to be invited first by someone else but we can still blame them even for a simple interference which most of the time they didn't really mean to. Many of us discovered gambling all by our selves and then we can gamble at peace online, but then again, blaming is still there and it was the casino is the one that we are attacking the most.

And if you gamble in the gambling games you mentioned, apart from sports betting, maybe you can complain to your friend because you now gamble more often because he has introduced gambling to you. But you are lucky that you only use sports betting to gamble, so you don't use other gambling games, and you also don't spend too much money.

That's what we have to do when playing gambling. We determine the choice of gambling games, we always limit our gambling activities, and we will not get too deep into gambling games. And if we have chosen sports betting, we can continue to use it to place bets and not move to other gambling games. That can make us experience more defeats, which we will regret later.

Consistenly regretting doesnt solve a problem. Gamblers need to take action and change their condition. Life is deep and every habitat of nature need to understand that there is a price and time for everything. Most players fail to think outside gambling or try to attach the lessons from gambling house to the outside world. Or do they think that gambling doesn't offer anything meaningful to the outside world. Most people who lose in casinos are not addicted, but they may one day catch up with the trend. Because not accepting that it's possible for one to lose is a problem. When I was studying management, I realized that a team that celebrates failure, would end up becoming better, productive, and greater than a team that gets angry whenever they failed to meet a task given by the company. Same applies to gamblers who lose, if they are able to understand that lossing is a sister to winning, why would they sit back to claim another win before ending the gambling game for the day.

It'll better if the losser is able to learn from his mistakes than looking at himself as an unlucky gambler. Lose of control wouldn't allow the player to draw a line in between enjoyment and foolishness, as the aim of such people doesn't lead to such thoughts. They've got no control over their actions. The limbic structure of the brain, only triggers the urge to win more in the gamblers brain. As it's the order he's sending to his brain. Only a smart gambler who is still under control would be able to  understand that whatever outcome he gains through gambling is a lesson. I don't judge any gambler for his mistakes because of the point you made above, Slapper, gambling a psychological drama. And only a gambler who is psychologically strong would be able to win the fight with the house. Not just via making money, but in control or maintaining their emotions and win against all odds.

Gambling is an opportunity to make money and relax a little. And should you hate the opportunity if it is misused? Hardly. If a person can't control himself, can't listen to his inner voice - that's his personal problem, in my opinion

No! Why should I regret knowing gambling. Gambling is just a game of huge expectations in a jiffy. I remember when I use to visit a friend of mine that plays snooker. It's quite an exciting moment.

The debate you have and the anger you have towards your friend who introduced you to gambling is pointless imo.  i also know gambling from my close friend but i have never once complained to him because he introduced gambling to me, remember that gambling is a personal choice, never blame other people for what you are doing now, it is unethical, in the beginning you have the power not to gamble but why do you choose to gamble, if your friend is a good person then what you do doesn't have to be done together, even if he is a gambler, you don't need to be a gambler too, there is always a choice in your hands.

What's the point living an entire lifetime without engaging in loads of exercises, one of which is gambling?

I understand  that his friend has his preferences as to why he regrets getting into gambling but let's face facts, you're supposed to review systems that aren't contributing to your growth over a period of time and know what best steps to deploy or quit entirely.

Although this doesn't work for gambling as addiction is a higher level but I find it incomplete not going through an experience such as gambling in one's lifetime.

If I say I'm sorry I'm not sorry, I built my mentality from gambling, I built a business too, it's like gambling but has a different concept, if you gamble responsibly of course everything will be fine

Friends might tell us about gambling, but its up to us to decide if we want to do it or not. Too naive to think that self-control and discipline can keep people from getting hurt by gambling. The urge to gambling can trick even the most responsible people. Its weak and wrong to blame our friends for our gambling. Our choices and outcomes must be our own. Friends can open the door, but going inside is a choice that should only be made after careful thought. The "benefits" of gambling are short-lived and not always real. The pain of losing and becoming addicted is greater than the pleasure of winning. Picking the smart thing? Be careful with gambling. Its riskier than it looks, and the stakes are usually higher than they seem.

Not really no. I expect I would've learned about it sooner or later due to how much I love watching professional eSports scenes, especially if you consider that I watch quite a few sports that are involved. With that, I would've inevitably ended up being curious about regular gambling games and the like and would've probably tried it out at some point. By then it was just a matter of time of following the process of being a regular to slowly trying to get out of it due to being bored to just sticking to sports gambling.

Well what I do probably regret is learning it in highschool than later on though.

Maybe a bit I do but overall , I already accept that I like to gamble from time to time but I do it only on the sports I love and I understand. I'm glad I don't like slots , I'm glad I don't like roulette and cards and I'm glad I don't bet on random games on random sports because if I were to use any of those mention , then I would have regret knowing about gambling but on the current situation , I'm more than okay with it. 

Yes, your statement is very possible and makes sense to be used as a reason why there are some gamblers who blame others for their gambling involvement, losing is one of the factors that makes them feel frustrated and upset, of course something out of control is very likely to be done when gamblers are in such situations, one of which is of course blaming others is one of the things that can happen.

Yes in gambling it should be the risk that should be more understood than the chances of winning, because after all if we are lucky then we will also be able to get the same winnings as others get, but unfortunately they don't think about this, in my opinion it's because they are too ambitious for a win, like you said that they think they will be able to get the number of wins like others they see, when in fact such results will not always happen for you. So basically I think it's the misunderstanding of the concept of gambling and how luck works that's at the heart of the problem if you're involved in a purely luck type of gambling. I think that's good advice, if you or they are more focused on winning then it's better to be involved in sports betting only because the percentage of losses will not be too high and you can get closer to winning if you have good enough skills.

OP, It is normal that you have expressed a negative attitude towards gambling when discussed in your circle of friends. But for those who live a lonely life, gambling is a kind of traveling companion. But gambling does not always bring something positive in people's lives. Especially those who are involved in gambling especially rural gambling in my area are always in mental turmoil. I always felt an aversion to gambling when I saw them. They always treat the wife's children cruelly to manage the gambling money. Moreover, the horrible picture of gambling is that in my country wife torture for dowry is only due to gambling.

It is a very unnecessary argument to make, so you mean he was forced by your other friend to keep depositing and gambling, why most people now find it much easier to blame people for their loss than give glory to such a person when they keep winning.
All he did was just introducing him to gambling and never was he forced into it. As a friend you always want to share ways of income, so it is a crime as to why he should blame his friend. Instead he ought to blame himself as not being knowledgeable enough to know when he should stop gambling.

Answering your question, i do not feel any atom of regret as why I knew about gambling

I rarely talk not only about gambling, but also about trading. I still prefer not to involve my friends in gambling, only as a last resort, when I am sure that my friend or acquaintance will not lose his head from the frenzied excitement of the game. Although I cannot vouch for anyone, and even the most calm and balanced person can lose his temper. I think that there is still some responsibility. At the very least, I will feel terrible if my friend ends up losing his house due to gambling, and it doesn’t matter that this chance is extremely small, but if it comes true, I won’t forgive myself for it.

If you look from the other side, for example, my friend wins the jackpot, then he may not even remember me. He will probably take his family and go somewhere to warm countries. I'll be happy for him, but most likely I'll never see him again.
