No, I don't think I've ever thought about regretting about it until I've seen this post. Gambling is something that you'll eventually learn about no matter what you do or how ignorant you can be, it's like one of those facts of life that you will inevitably learn along the way. I think that the people that's regretting ever knowing about gambling are those that have their lives devastated by gambling, luckily I'm not one of them so I can happily say that it's a no regrets for me. Also, what would regret ever do anyway, I'm sure that it's nothing so better to move forward and be better than staying here and regretting your actions.
Maybe what you mean is learn from the mistakes that have made some people regret their gambling involvement especially those who always overdo their approach, I think it's quite natural and reasonable if you don't feel regret and here I can conclude that it seems like you have a pretty good approach to gambling so you don't regret being involved in this activity. That means regret is only for some people and it also depends on how the person responds to gambling itself, if indeed they come with the wrong way or approach then obviously over time the bad effects will definitely occur and of course regret will always come at the end.
Another thing in my opinion if you feel that you are still fine even though you have been involved in gambling for a long time I think it's okay if you continue because it has been proven that over a long period of time you can manage everything well, especially in terms of your bankroll and self-control, but if it's the opposite then I think you already know what you should do.
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.
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.
