Topic: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? - page 10. (Read 2484 times)

Messing up with the zeros happens to everyone, you are not the only one who messes up. When you are winning the excitement and the adrenaline makes you believe that the next bet will also be in your favor. If it goes on for some time you would feel that today is your day and like a fool, you will make the big mistake of going all in. That's when you lose and then the frustration kicks in with the belief that another deposit will counter your loss. Until you realize that it is gambling and you were only playing for fun.

And not many gamblers can change their mindset to be able to change their gambling habits because gambling can make them forget and feel comfortable while gambling. That is why many people still find it hard to leave gambling forever or reduce their activities in gambling. They regret it but that doesn't mean they will reduce their gambling activities. Maybe they will gamble more often. And if people make gambling their hobby, they must quickly realize that it will only get them into a lot of trouble and one of them is gambling addiction. If they are already experiencing gambling addiction, it will be difficult to get out and even if they regret it, they will still return to gambling because their thoughts are only to want to gamble.

As a gambler, there's every tendency that we already passed through horrible events. Gambling is capable of generating both gains and losses. I've moved beyond the point where I felt remorse for my gambling practices, always yearning for a better tomorrow. Feeling apologetic after substantial losses is merely a sensation at the time, but doing something completely different will also keep those thoughts away, and one may even forget that he made losses earlier from the system. Losing is part of the game; the moment we engage in gambling activities, we accept the appropriate terms and conditions. 

When I was new to Bitcoin there were a few times where I lost my entire balance due to Martingale strategy. When you first start out and you go several minutes without losing it feels amazing. It feels like a perfect strategy until you hit a losing streak and everything is gone. When you are acting greedy you tend to ignore reason and don't think about how severe your losses can be. I don't make such foolish mistakes anymore but occasionally I'll mess up by doing something like betting 50,000 sats instead of 5,000 and it can ruin your mood for a while if the bet doesn't turn out in your favor.

I don't think that there's any gambler that hasn't for one time felt remorseful after gambling in the history of the game of gambling. Though most of these gamblers will still have to go back to gambling immediately the pains of losing is reduced especially the gambling addicts.
It is believed that there's a level one will get to in gambling and wouldn't be feeling too bad when they lose because they know that losing is also part of the game

I agree with you, and I must say that gambling above one's budget is the riskiest thing and one should avoid it at any cost. The ones who get addicted to gambling will gamble without any limits and they lose almost everything with such a low-level habit. One should also be careful to not gamble when his/her mind is in a bad state because in those times people often want to have gratification in the form of winning and unfortunately they forget about the limits. It's always better and secure to gamble only when you are in good modes and your mind is in a happy state, and also to stick to the limits in order to not lose everything in a sitting.

Most likely, remorse is the consequences of upbringing, if, perhaps, in adolescence, parents told us that it was bad, then it is quite possible that there will be such feelings. But I agree that basically after the loss there is a feeling of disappointment from the fact that the bet is lost, nothing more. Especially if the bet was low enough, I mean regarding the game deposit, then this will not have a big financial impact and the disappointment will be insignificant.

If indeed it is or is something normal , we are not going to get well if we have lost some money, even if it is 1 dollar that we lose and something that we do not like, because 1 dollar can be useful even if it is to buy something to Drink and enjoy it , then when you lose in the game it is obvious that we Must feel bad, or with a lot of remorse, but the best thing is to see it like me , every time I go to play in the casino, I deposit 10 usd, sometimes less, and that money is that I have the will to lose , that is, I have it for my pure enjoyment, I see it as an investment for my fun, if I lose it, it doesn't hurt me because in my mind I tell myself that this is the price I must pay to enjoy a good game. That's the idea.

It's like paying for a Service, nothing more , it's just that it's possible that those 10 usd or less if I make a lucky move and I can earn more than what I have, it's something Spectacular for me Because mostly a person is very excited about your Deposit money to multiply it , this is something that Should never be done , because the blow is Hard.

Sometimes, you feel more remorse when you have already managed to win a significantly high amount but then you lose it all back to the house only out of greed, that moment feels too bad when you see it all gone when you had a lot of it a moment ago, and this usually happens when you start thinking that you can get even more if you use the amount you've won but what happens is that you lose everything back to the house and then regret doing that.

I don't know about others but I personally feel more bad losing normally than losing what I have won along with my own money because I could literally have way more money than I had when I started gambling but it didn't happen only because of my own greediness, it hits really hard.

Remorse is a strong word to use in this situation. I personally have felt sadness after losing some bets, but this is natural behaviour when losing at anything. It's compounded by the fact that you started with a certain amount of money, which is hard to attain, and then ended without it. I've never gambled big enough amounts to feel that sad, but understand that some people have so little self control that they bet far higher amounts than they should - or greed gets them carried away, thinking they can beat inevitable mathematical odds and variance over time. For that it is hard to have sympathy.

Many gamblers feel this remorse when they lose money but most of them are so addicted that they soon after this happens they forget about it and they already start thinking about the next session where they think they will win it big.People who are continuously in this loop are the people in most risk when it comes to extreme gambling addiction,they are not at all aware what is happening towards them and these are the persons which are most difficult to acknowledge that they are addicted in the first place.These people are almost always those that end up badly as they keep increasing their bet every upcoming session,the true winners are those who after feeling remorse think carefully before planning the next move.

Changing our thought process is always a challenge as this is something we do automatically, and if you do not make an effort to change you will eventually go back to your previous habits, however it can be done by those that are decided to make a change as they understand that if they keep behaving in this way then sooner or later dire consequences could come their way, and while gambling can be an extremely nice hobby, for a person that is out of control gambling can be a terrible obsession as the losses can accumulate at an impressive speed.

Yes, it's true that it's a fleeting feeling, but besides that, emotional control is also needed, because if emotions peak, it's clear that regretting losing at gambling, he will try to make money again, even if he has to borrow it from a loan shark to play again, then regretting losing at gambling will not never been good especially in the end he will play gambling again to make up for his defeat.

Emotional control when gambling is an important key so that gamblers don't become addicts, because people who often regret when they experience mistakes or defeats in gambling, on average, often try to catch up with their losses as well as make amends for their mistakes. Gambling is not just about making money, so understand that gambling has risks. which we must accept gracefully.

Yes, I have experienced feelings like that before because after experiencing defeat after loss from playing gambling, it makes me regret that I have played gambling. But in the past, regret was just a feeling because a few days later, I returned to gambling at a different casino. But now I'm not like that because now I consider gambling entertainment and nothing more so I can gamble whenever I want and stop whenever I want. Maybe it really takes effort to think of gambling as entertainment because I also experienced it first.

Well, so we experienced something similar, and it seems like it could have happened over and over again, right. I'm pretty sure, that we often feel regret after activities in gambling. another example, when we are in a bad mood, we often force a gambling session which in the end we lose in a short time, regardless of the type of game. then, we regret for not heeding feelings that are not in a good condition. not infrequently, we say things that are inappropriate when in that situation. another example, as you said and I will quote, is "doubt".

When we doubt, if you believe, the feedback that will radiate in doubt usually has a negative impact. in this context, gambling. be it in a sports betting session, or any other type of casino gaming. Doubt, usually has stopped us one step ahead.
Well, back to our theme, which is regret. So, I think regret is a common expression, especially if we associate it with betting. there are many factors that make us regret it, but the fact is we still gamble. it's just that, there are many misperceptions of the expression regret.maybe if the case is bigger, or we regret that we have lost property in gambling, that's new, someone no longer enjoys gambling as a means of entertainment. however, they are more addicted and want big winnings in each gambling session.

Feeling guilt after a loss is merely a fleeting feeling that passes through our minds and lasts only an hour or day,  we all have experiencedthat phase. However, distinct acts were undertaken in the pursuit of substantial odds. Losing causes a gambler to feel heartbreak for that particular moment; it may take all day, but they will return to gambling when they discover another game. While winning just boosts a gambler's morale and confidence; I remembered my colleague beating his chest and going in for another game slip when his predictions turned out to be appropriate.

Everything you said might be right except for the part that regular gamblers don't feel remorse. It is a dopamine thing and dopamine is usually considered to be the pleasure hormone, which already implies that losing should not foster dopamine production and release in a normal person and even in a person that is fighting an addiction. It also is dependent on what remorse exactly means. A slight sadness when somebody lost money is normal and should also be the state of mind because nobody should be after losing. But addicts also often undervalue the consequence of losses and overvalue the consequence of winnings, which is also triggered by chemicals in their brain. When they lose five times in a row they are still looking forward to this one win after losing so many teams even if it doesn't fully make up for what was lost.

One thing sure or certain is that, any body who is gambling solely to make money in the process will always probably over bet and also will regret on every loss,  for those who arent really very much concerned about winning money, this ones are going to be betting only what they can afford to lose and maybe hardly regret it when the money is lost, simply because, he or she wasn't alll that serious about winning in the initial stage..

So regretting or not regretting all boils down to what one desires from gambling, that is what their expectations was during placing the bet.

a natural feeling that almost all of us have felt in the world of gambling and I think you have felt this feeling too.
maybe some people think this is the beginning of someone's addiction but not for me. because that feeling of regret will be felt by all of us as gamblers even if it only loses $ 1 it's just that regret has different levels.
I mean when a person who gambles then loses any amount he will keep coming back when he has the money because he only thinks about the previous losses. so this is about poor self-control.
