Topic: Do you regret also for ever knowing about gambling? - page 8. (Read 2864 times)

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.

I try my possible best not to dwell any actions I have taken in the past. And I definitely won’t spend much thought in thinking back and regretting several actions I took them. Why bother your heart and mind in thinking back to what was probably a loss of some sort for you then.
You can’t change what has already happened so there’s very little use in dwelling on those past actions.

Personally, I do not regret ever knowing about gambling. Thankfully, I try to be responsible and haven’t had any problems pop up due to my gambling activities.

I feel you, I've said to myself that I won't regret to know how to do gambling but sometimes I can't take it and fake it, especially if there's an instances that I checked my previous transactions and I saw how much money I've loss in gambling, I'd always sugarcoat myself that past is past and the important thing is you learned a lot but still you can't get rid of regret.

Because gambling has become a habit for some people and has a significant impact on their lives, it is the reason why they are still able to gamble repeatedly. They are unable to control their inner feelings of delight, excitement, and, of course, greed. that sensation of wanting to give up, but your brain tells you not to lose the chance or the money you could get from gambling. This is the reason why so many people fall victim to this mental trap and find it impossible to stop gambling once they start.

Understanding the risks caused by gambling is important because, when it comes to money, you could lose a lot and lose it again, to the point where you might end up stealing or taking out a big loan to support your addiction. In the end, though, you would gain nothing because your money would have been wasted.

Apart from the fact that they are aware of their limitations when they play, there's a chance that gamblers with strong self-control and self-discipline won't develop a gambling addiction. It is preferable when a gambler's family is always monitoring to remind them to gradually break that kind of habit.

The feeling of regrets are just temporary feeling to me, and they come to existence when i check my yearly transaction history and see the amount I have lost so far. Despite the wins I still feel if I have put those money into Bitcoin investment I would have made some profits rather than loss. However I see no need to grief for my losses most times because make some wins also that can cover for the monthly loss, and the key factor is that I don't gamble irresponsible. I believe those who gamble irresponsible without budgeting money for gamble would be the set of person to have more regrets but, when your wins are more than the losses, you'll be glad for every finding gamble.

Besides, we don't have a reason because that was our personal decision, not theirs. As we decide to gamble it means that we are also ready to face the consequences of our doing and decisions and whether it will harm us or not, that was our responsibility. Might gambling have been introduced to us and we can decline it if we want but because we try, therefore, we are also aware of what possibly happen to us. Indeed, quitting is a great option rather than blaming others and dealing with it.

I have no reason to , because I have been saving funds from my gambling winning  I know when to stop and when to leave the table  , I even know how to manage losing smaller amount than my capital so meaning I know how to win.

so why in the world that I will ever regret knowing gambling?

regretting is part of our mistakes but doing this over and over is already stupidity and foolishness , because first mistake is ok, second is wrong and third will always follow the same.

Its very funny how people finally start regretting things that gave them joy in the past simply because they failed to control themselves and then they end up blaming others for their addiction. One step to being a responsible person is to take the blame for anything and everything that you're getting wrong in your life, its purely your decision, even if you were convinced to do some stuffs, you decided to buy the convincer's idea and go along with it. As soon as we start taking responsibility for everything we do in life, we can choose accurately what to get involved with, and what not to involve in, also you will be able to make certain decisions pertaining your pattern of involvement in gambling and how much you intend gambling with knowing fully well that you wouldn't blame anybody for whatever your decision results to, so you take full responsibility and make the best decisions for yourself.

Yesterday, I was playing Roulette on a casino and I was loosing heavily, I just reminded myself that the loses are becoming too much for just a day, I just ended my session, logged out of the casino and continued with my forum activities. It was my decision and I'm taking full responsibility for what I did, the funds I lost and my decision to do something else and avoid the casinos throughout yesterday.

Regret usually follows a series of mistakes. I often find myself regretting starting certain habits that I wish I could shake off. Despite numerous attempts, these habits have become a part of me. The op mentioned being involved in gambling for a long time, and I can't help but wonder about the losses he may have faced. While I'm not a big gambler myself, my only regrets come when I choose the wrong odds for my games and end up losing. Sometimes, I wish I had picked the right bets, but after each loss, I have to accept it and move forward.its just a part of the gambler

Yeah true, I have seen someone like that too, a very rich business person lost every savings he had and his house, except his business so he still stayed rich of course, but not as rich as he used to be. He could have been way richer if he bought houses with that money, he lost money that was worth a bunch of houses, I mean depends on the house you are buying, but it could have been 5 terrible houses, or 1 great house, he lost that much money in gambling, and I was there as a kid when he did that, I was aware of it, and my parents tried to help him to stop, but he didn't and lost it all. Then he quit gambling, and focused on his work and family, now he is rich again, we should be consider the situation as risky as it could get in order to make it work as better as possible.

I believe that the best thing we could do right now and just focus on what we could do to improve our lives a lot more, that should be the number one case in everything.

There is no doubt that there are gamblers that regret that they've been into gambling or someone introduced it to them. But can we rewind the time? no.

That's why if we are still regretting it, that's fine and normal because it always happens in the end. And after your regret, it's the best time to just move on and think of your own affair.

Gamble or not, or do something meaningful for you.

A gambler who blames other people for his involvement in gambling may have lost his mind or it could be a form of frustration because he experienced a big loss even though he initially jumped in because he saw the person who invited him managed to win quite a fantastic amount. Players must know that what happens to other gamblers is not a guarantee that it will also happen to us even if we follow what they do, for example the type of game, such as slots, dice card games or lottery, unless we bet on sports we will get the same result, win or lose if we follow other people's bets, but the results of games based on luck will not be the same from one gambler to another.
