Topic: Do you regret also for ever knowing about gambling? - page 9. (Read 2896 times)

We have to decide whether we can gamble after being introduced to it by our friends or whether we will not gamble, considering there is a risk of loss that we will face, so we have to stay away from gambling. Besides, I don't think our friends force us to gamble after they introduce gambling to us. They just introduce gambling and then it's up to us to decide.

If we feel that we get pleasure from gambling and we can allocate a certain amount of money to gamble and can also be disciplined and have good self-control in gambling, we should at least thank our friends for introducing us to something challenging. We also don't need to scold him or even be hostile to him just because he introduced gambling to us. We have to think rationally about the benefits we can get from gambling. If there is no benefit for us and we end up losing some money, it is better for us not to gamble at all, which will be safer for us.

Beckoning on the fact that I am above age 18 automatically I am an adult and should take responsibility on the consequences of my actions and inactions either or not I was talked into doing it. It is coward for a person to be blame another for their addiction to gambling because they were introduced into it by that person, so then what stops you from quiting, is it the same person too or you just lack the courage and discipline to be decisive for yourself?

I don't remember being introduced to gambling by any friend or colleague, I guess I just started anyway and even if I was, it's left for me to take control of what happens next and not to lose self-control over it only to turn back and start playing the blame games as to exonerate oneself from guilt.

I say something, in our lives we go through good moments, bad moments, difficult moments, and I believe that in the most difficult moments is when the human being in general learns the most and that is a fact, we must be people who We must be aware of everything that can make a difference in what things so that we have some elevation in personal improvement, and not only in games do we face disastrous situations, and that usually look bad and worse, we are people who have to be very emphatic in things, but we could generate a lot of money, and according to that we can make mistakes, it is allowed, many companies make investments that in the end do not turn out well and they lose a lot of money, and yes it is something painful, but it is something that is always there lantet, you can't achieve everything at once, you have to suffer, you have to fight to do things like that, but in the end the best of all is learning.

When a person in the game enters and plays, he can lose, but when he is not in a very great situation, things have to be pretty good so that we can say, well, the best thing is what happened like that, and try to get over it quickly. , because if we allow a lot, we fail in something, maybe for us it hurt us, in this order of things we could say that when we are in a casino, those who lose a lot, not necessarily, are addicted gamblers or employees who we must see even badly and be careful, no, things are not like that either, they are normal people, who got out of control in some way and that is why they could not bear the losses and well, sometimes the reactions are not the expected ones, it is not among the things, then regretting playing, or having known the world of gambling games or the casino, because when we review everything, the only culprits for losing and for things going badly for us are ourselves due to the power of the decisions we make.

   -   Gamblers should also be aware that players are the ones who lose and we win, and often in casinos or gambling, gamblers lose. So, just play the amount that we can afford to lose.

So if this is what we do as gamblers, there is no reason for us to regret the choice of decision why we wanted to play gambling. And then let's always be happy on the playing field of this business. Do it just for fun.

In my opinion, it's a different situation if you gamble and are forced by your friend to make bets according to your friend's strategy and then the results don't match your expectations then you should regret it because you didn't follow your own rules but your friend's rules. However, if your friend didn't force you and the goal was just to introduce him, that means it's not your friend's fault and you shouldn't blame him because the decision to gamble is in your own hands. The thing that should be blamed and regretted is you yourself who dared to gamble and it is not based on coercion.

I have never met anyone who blames other people for their gambling unless that person regrets not being as lucky as other people who can win large bets because basically gambling is a game that has a high appeal for someone who even knows it themselves, not from other people, maybe that What they regret is that they have experienced more losses than profits so far.

There will be once in one lifetime that one will regret knowing about gambling. This commonly happen after a heavy lose, especially when you lose a huge and an important money to gambling. And also sometime you will be happy about it especially when a money from a winning bet save you from something.

We don't want to get blamed but sometimes when there are people that are curious with what we do, we're also excited to tell it when someone shows interest.

But this time, we shouldn't feel like that because what matters today is peace and privacy. We don't want people to blame us because they invested and they lose and the main reason for that will be said because of us, if it's not for us that we introduced it to them, they won't be losing money.

See the logic of these ungrateful people.

I agree with that. I don't find people being right when they say that they have been introduced to something bad by someone else and they blame them for it, the first thing is that you are not a child or someone who has no senses and no brain to think and understand and realize that the thing that you are being introduced to isn't good for you in the first place. Even if you want to try it out, go ahead and do it, but stop if you know the negative consequences, if you don't, you should find out before you get involved because you can't just start doing something before knowing what you are doing.

You are right that it's a person's fault if they are doing something bad just because they were introduced to it by someone in the past. You could always decide on your own, reject their proposal, or simply just try that thing just to make them happy and don't do it again. If you become addicted to it, it's your fault and not theirs.

This is why or the reason on why i have that no plans on explaining Bitcoin or crypto to other people on which i dont really like on getting blamed. Doesnt matter if it talks about crypto investment or crypto gambling as long it would be connected to crypto then they would really be always having that kind of impression. Regrets couldnt really be made or be mold out if you do really know on what you are doing because if you do have that kind of treatment towards gambling then you are just basically putting up yourself into the pit of problems on which this is something that must
be avoided or hadnt done in the first place. You cant really just that make yourself that having that kind of problem if you are really just that responsible.

Lol… i had to clean my eyes I thought I didn’t see what i read well. Having regrets about know of something can only mean the person is having a bad experience. This could only mean he didn’t have good guidance and counseling about gambling and this is what really affects a lot of young people who just know about gambling, gambling is not a thing you just jump into and be so focused of winning it will only lead you into addiction.

This friend of yours shouldn’t blame anyone for putting him into gambling ways, he was already destined to become a gambler and it could be through anyone and not necessarily his friend,he shouldn’t blame anyone for his problems as it always advised to gamble responsibly and even gambling casino always make adverts advising people to gamble responsibly.

It is good to be educative and not be ignorant about things. For me i was lucky enough to be educated here in the forum about gambling so i don’t have regrets about ever knowing about gambling instead i am very happy and i am proud to be part of it. Having good gambling habit is learned plus one needs to keep his/her emotions in control else you risk addiction.

It is different with crypto.

Well, that's an experience that I'll always remember that people I've talked in the past and introduced Bitcoin, I've just told them to buy and invest only with small amounts.

But when they have seen the 2018 bear market, most of them quit and put the blame on me and the rest is history and that's why I'll not talk to those people again anymore related to Bitcoin, I remember all of them even though I have weak memory nowadays.

And this doesn’t just happen around gambling, it is very very common in cryptocurrency because people talk about cryptocurrency with more confidence than when they talk about gambling. This is why many big accounts on twitter and other social media platforms ask people to do their own research when talking about a crypto project. And the same case happens when influencers post their opinions about sport betting… they normally warn that people gamble responsibly because they don’t want to be put to blame when it goes wrong.

But unfortunately sometimes those who already have good self-control and boundaries that can always keep them safe during that time do not always rule out the possibility that a change can still occur later, meaning a change in mindset and perspective which of course can still change when in a session they are careless and almost forget some controls and boundaries that have proven to keep them safe during their involvement in the past.

So of course there are still several potential possibilities that can occur, and that is the importance of always putting full firmness on the limits and controls that you have designed from the beginning, not least because gambling will always give you something that looks like a tempting when in reality it is nothing more than a trap to keep you involved with the wrong mindset and perspective. Of course, for people who feel that gambling has caused many problems in their lives such as losing balance in finances, they should be able to do something like some precautions, but reaching such a realization is not easy, and maybe only a trauma can make them reach their consciousness for a change.

Good point. Maybe regrets come to those who lose a lot of money and not to those who find gambling as entertainment only. Well, that is actually the purpose of it, to add some spice to either the sports industry or the casino games. Imagine playing dice without any money on the line. I bet it will be as boring as fuck.
But those who tried to really win the game and in the end lost an amount that could've been used for other important things, I bet their regrets will be so hard that they want to go back in time and just erase that memory when they bumped into gambling.
Although that cannot be done, it's a learning point and that may be the end of the line for them so they can quit gambling afterward.
I've heard a lot of stories from gambling addicts and all I can say is they've been thru worse which is why they do regret what happened to their lives. It's true that it ain't easy to quit but if one gambler cannot afford it anymore then maybe it's time to stop.

but if the situation is that you know about gambling from your co-workers or friends. so you deposit part of your salary to gamble. and then you play with your friend's directions and then lose. I'm sure there will be feelings of disappointment and regret because you followed your friend's instructions to gamble.
No matter how fun gambling is, if it is a loss, of course, it will make you feel a little regretful. although eventually, you will come back to play again.

regret only belongs to those who are pressured to always win at gambling. and those who make gambling their income. so they will regret it if they lose in gambling because they wasted money that they could have used for other things.
Cases like yours are of course different. you gamble for fun. So there will be no regrets when spending some of your money on gambling.
nevertheless, we have to admit, that more and more gamblers today are very obsessed with winning. and that is what is being pursued. so it can cause pressure and stress when you can't achieve it.

I definitely think this person said something very true because we learn everything in life through experience. Every experience can have good or bad consequences for us. For example, doing sports for a healthy life will help us have a good experience but gambling with sports betting can also cause a bad experience. In this case, we get both a good and a bad experience with almost similar things. Another example is that by gambling or making unnecessary expenses during a financially difficult period, we can actually end up in a worse financial predicament. In this way, learning that such expenses are unnecessary rather than addiction to gambling or unnecessary spending will help us have a good experience.

In short, human beings are creatures that develop themselves as they gain experience and it isn't right to separate their experiences as good or bad. In fact, I think that bad experiences have a more serious impact and contribution to our lives.

If you have such friend who blame someone because he introduce a new thing to your friend, I think you can introduce your friend to eat his own shit.

It doesn't make sense at all, each person has brain to think, so if someone can easily do what other people teach to them, such people need to learn how to use their brain and not only following other people's decision.

But some people will blame their friends for introducing them to gambling. They will regret being introduced to gambling even though it was not their friend's absolute fault because their friend only introduced them to gambling and they must understand that gambling is just entertainment. Those who are familiar with gambling should always remember that gambling uses money, whether it's a lot of money or a little money, but they can control the use of their money. Casinos never force people to use more money and casinos only allow people to enjoy gambling by providing many gambling games. People choose their gambling games according to what they want to play, and if the person uses a lot of money, it is their own responsibility, and the casino is not responsible if people lose a lot of money. Casinos are already warning people to be responsible gamblers.

Gambling regrets come very late. From the narratives of Op's story, you'd see that his friend already laid his complaints after many years of being addicted and losing all his funds in gambling. How is it the problem of the person who introduced him to gambling? The addict's brain wouldn't let him take responsibility for his mistakes, hence healing would be difficult as his heart is now filled with hatred for his friend. Initiating people into the gambling world can be great, but when they fail it gets bad for both parties. Hence, it's always important to warn people to stay positive about gambling before joining and they can do their research. I don't blame anybody's actions whether they choose to be responsible or not. On the other side, the addict is wrong for pointing accusing fingers like a kid that his friend who introduced him to gambling is the primary cause of his problem. Moving forward won't be easy for the addict, as he's now in a state of dilemma, he can't decide for himself, the same way he wasn't able to choose whether to become a gambler or not, he allowed himself to be pushed by a friend before he started gambling.

He will face difficulties like not being able to stop, after losing as he can't take control of himself anymore. The player needs help and his friends shouldn't overlook such symptoms. His actions show how deeply he's been suffering in addiction, how much money he's spent, and the repercussions it brought on his business or office life; reducing his productivity. If a person hasn't been so bittered at a mistake, they won't have the guts to blame somebody else. The person he's blaming is innocent and only guilty of showing him the road to becoming a gambler. He may have started gambling before reaching the required age for gambling and while an adult he became too attached to it and the only way he could help himself was to think that he wasn't the cause of his problem. It's common among humans, and that's why the world consists of people who don't take action on living a better life, and then wallow in difficulty, blaming their friends or parents for the cause of their current state of hardship.
