Topic: Risk or regret? (2) (Read 1739 times)

The pain of losing money due to defeat also certainly involves regret, and if you feel that way then maybe I would say that you are not a responsible gambler.

In both situations I think the one that should be more painful is the first one where you lose money due to defeat, because for the problem of regret for not taking a choice that was ultimately the right choice to produce victory is actually nothing more than a mind game.

Losing when betting means you lose money, while regretting not taking a decision that ultimately resulted in victory means you only lost an opportunity. I think everyone is able to distinguish which is more painful.

Regret isn't necessary when you have already made up your mind to do something. You know already from beginning that you are taking a risk and if it work as you want, it's fine and if it doesn't work as you plan, then you have nothing to lose. This is why if you must risk into something, make sure it's something you can let go without turning or looking back that you wish you never did what you did in the first place.

I will rather risk and make something or make nothing than sit somewhere and be looking and risking nothing. It's even more regrettable not doing anything at all but I will not forget to use my sense when taking risk into something. If I'm making a bet, the amount I'm gong to stake will never be an amount that is gong to be worry some, an amount that will give me sleepless night, never. If you risk, you might even get something you never expect because you are risking with low expectations.

Most gamblers are regretters and not risk takers regardless of gambling being a risk itself but the people doing the gamble are more cautious that it makes them to lose instead of winning most times. You are already risking your money so why do you not risk it completely so if you win, you win and if you lose you take your losses and can try again. But instead of people risking, they want to be cautious by going for the minimal odds and this make them to those that in an accumulated amount, they are losing more than they are making. When gambling we should not be afraid to risk that if it pays up you have made life changing money that you can use wisely through investment in guaranteed things and not only be relying on gambling to make money that you are going to use to be feeding regularly.

As a gambler, i do not give in to regret, because i know for sure that the game could have gone either way. That being said, with the amount of money i use to gamble each individual game, i don't think i can win a life changing money with it, except i accumulate a lot of games and then that reduces the chances of winning by a mile. I love my gambling lifestyle, i keep things responsible, i don't take too many risks and i don't depend on any potential winnings from the games i play.

That's right. We can all talk a lot about following the rules, about remembering about self-control, but in reality it's not that simple. I remember how incredibly hard it was to stay within the set limit.

It was like this for me: I was playing a gambling session and after that it seemed to me that if I added a little to the deposit, I would win and would not have to leave in a bad mood. But this is an illusory, bad feeling.

to regret in something that you have already done or did is a part of life and that is why some of us have remorse in anything that we are doing so it is also an opportunity For we to correct our mistakes, so therefore it's obvious that if you make a mistake by selling off your bitcoin early and you're regretting about it till date, it's clear that you will not allow your beloved one to make such mistakes again, so that's one of things to have experienced on something, mistake is always a lesson to anyone that wants to learn, even in gambling some persons corrected themselves when they make mistakes and if such mistakes come on their way for the second time they will not be a victim of it.

Regret is the saddest thing that would happen to someone and it has claimed so many souls and not just the one you explains, though regret can work in other ways aside from missing an opportunity because it can also affect someone even if they lose because there is a man who sold all his properties including the ones his brother put under his watch to gamble and after losing everything the regret he felt lured him to end his life.

However in the aspects of risk is actually unavoidable because it has become a part of human as such seen as a factor that determines success in life but however we should be very cautious with the particular thing we are risking our money for, though we no that sometimes after making some predictions and decided not to put our money on it and when it turns out that all the games played exactly the way we had predicted we will start regretting, meanwhile at the same time if the game had not played we would have still been very happy that we did not put our money on it, so actually even if somebody should take a risk it should be something they are truly sure or has a reasonable percentage of certainty.

Easy to say but it would really be that hard to make such thing when you are on such condition. We do know that losing up big or tons of money on the moment or sense that you've been hardly be able to recover since you do lost it all almost then it could really give out that kind of difficulty on any angle on which it would really be causing up for you to have. Speaking about into the things mentioned on OP about missed out
opportunities or chances on winning significant amount of money just because you do hinder out a particular bet? There are really moments such as this, specially on the time or moment that inner voices
would really be telling you that you should really be skipping out on doing such bet just because you've been thinking up something. Sometimes we do really be able to go along with those inner voice
but there are times that we are really that against into it.

It would really be just that a matter of choice because when making up bets then it would be understandable that you would really be applying some analysis too but there are really certain
conditions on which you would really be thinking up. This is why it would really be just that depending on you, whether you would really be proceeding out on making up  those bets
or would really be listening into those voices inside your head. 

That was the differential right there, with one leading to the other. Where risks can or may not lead to regret but in the context of OP, it’s focused on regrets and it does lead to regrets a couple of times. Unlike you, I’ve had to regret taking certain risks while gambling.
This always comes to play in instances when, I feel a certain fixture with less odds or more could potentially be a win than the other but, I instead opt for a different fixture which eventually brings my doom in an accumulator bet. It does come with some regrets but as a gambler, you just got to move on, it’s the game we play.

It's terrible and I really don't want to discuss it. I once had the same case of losing a very large amount of money on the crypto market, but I was able to become stronger thanks to it. The main thing is not to break down under big life difficulties no matter how hard it is for us, and they happen to everyone, only we are used to seeing happy faces on Instagram. I want to say that life always and at any time gives huge opportunities for earning, you just need to be faster than everyone, wittier and more resourceful. I am simply sure that you can get out of any situation and earn money, so you should never give up, moreover, this should only excite us, because challenging and looking fear in the eye should be like an easy walk))

Well, that the natural trait that has bad impact on everyone when they fail to control themselves, they will only think about success and great achievements without considering all the risks and consequences that exist when deciding to start it.
Urge to continue to perform optimally by winning in gambling often makes gamblers complacent and they make some big mistakes that can result in unexpected conditions, consecutive wins can be had but large-scale losses can be guaranteed to occur.

Well, that the truth that may be happening lot now, unfortunately many people can't apply all that and on average they still do everything very carelessly.

Regret is the most painful, I had a story about a man who committed suicide for regretting ever selling his Bitcoin too soon on seeing the massive increase and wider spread adoption of Bitcoin today, he felt that if he had Waited till date he would had a financial life changing opportunity, he killed him self because he felt that he can no longer have opportunity again, for risk most times we take risk with certain level of preparedness incase things didn't work as planned or expected. For me there are some times I will make predictions without betting it and when I finally checked and see that those games played according to how I predicted them I always become pained and regret not playing those games. It is better to take the risk than regretting not playing the games even though it didn't work out as expected.

I think regretting something like missing out on a big life-changing win because of a small bet is a normal part of life. There are many other examples where someone can miss out on a good opportunity. Like choosing where to work, or choosing a business to start. Or something like choosing a partner among several options. Yes, we will regret it when we realize we missed the opportunity. It is the same as a trader who missed out on a bullish moment for some coins that have been on his watchlist. Regret because why didn't he go all in on that coin because in a few days it has given a return of more than 100%. But the question is do you always have to bet big so that you don't miss the opportunity? I think that is what makes someone ruin their life because of aggressive gambling.

The painful experience that the gamblers around me have felt was playing to place a bet and something lead to something and they have a change of mind only to find out later that the game was a success just like they predict in their mind but the mist scary ones are when they lose everything to gambling, my friend went on days without eating, he lost his appetite because of the amount that he used and lose in gambling.

Gambling is a game of luck I don't think that I will ever feel that painful with gambling, it is normal for me to take risks because I don't want to be punished for not taking risks, if one doesn't take risks I doubt that they will ever become something great in life, risks is how we progress faster than working and saving, you can't grow better if you don't invest, but not the same with taking risks on gambling.

Gambling is sure to bring you more losses than investment.

But that will not gives us the win because we know that gambling will not gives a big chance for gamblers to win. We may win as we expect but we can not have a big hope to win every time we playing gambling even if we are an expert because gambling will not let us win easily. We can only playing gambling for have fun and not for making money because that will make us regret because we can lose our money anytime. Playing gambling give us a risks to lose the money so we must understand about that so we can only use the money we can afford to lose. We don't have to playing gambling too hard because that can make us want to chase the win or recover our losses if we lose the money. When we can not hold ourselves while playing gambling, that will be the time for us to lose more money because we forget to limit our money and difficult to stops from playing gambling.

It is very annoying when there are gamblers who blame others for the losses that occur in the bets they make, because in my opinion the losses occur because they themselves gamble with their own desires, it seems almost impossible if they gamble forced by others or their friends it is impossible. By blaming others for the losses that occur, maybe it is because they cannot accept the defeat that occurs so that their emotions become uncontrollable. Gambling is a risky game so when someone gambles, they must be ready for the risks in gambling, namely losing the money they bet. Because when they are not ready, other bad things will happen, such as losing more money or other bad things besides that, defeat is something that is certain to happen, so there is no point in regretting the money that has been lost in gambling, it will not change the situation for the better.

There are some persons that doesn't take corrections or learn from there past mistakes or the mistakes of others, these set of people always do things in a way that they feel less concern and when things go wrong, instead of taking up responsibility, they start to point fingers at what seem to contribute to their problem. There's the case of a foolhardy gambler who always love to put blam on how bad a player was, that affected his bet. He keeps doing that, looking for who to blam. I think one should easily let go of those things, either good or bad, one should learn to easily let go and move on. If one lose the opportunity to place a bet and it turns out successful, it doesn't mean that other games will not give them winning, so there's no need to start being regretful for a long time.

if you compare the two event to know which is more painful to you, you will know that it's going to be more painful that you've taken the risk of playing with an higher amount which at the end of the day didn't enter and then you lost the money. Thought regarding other things you should have used the money will flood your mind and that's when the real regret will come in. On the other hand, if you had plans of placing a bet but became skeptical at some point along the way and ended up not placing the bet at all and later you discover that what you predicted came out as planned, you're going to be angry with yourself that you didn't go ahead to make that prediction but even at that, it doesn't still mean that you've lost anything since nothing has gone out of yiur hands in the first place.

This is not just related to gambling alone. Sometimes we see opportunities but fail to take those opportunities seriously because of the risk associated with them and when others go on to try it out and become successful at it, the tendency of regretting your inaction becomes your reality. Your mind is what's most important in any case. If you mind doesn't aggre that you carry out an action iether a bet or whatever, it's best to just leave it that much way and if after you've done it and the thing didn't go out as planned or you've refused doing it and the thing later played out in your favour should you have done it, it's just best to accept the reality and cease from regretting for no reason.

Regret isn't important from my own perceptive. There are mistakes or things I did I wish I never did. Although those things made me change and get better, at the same time they left a scar in my heart that I do not forget. The reason why I say regret is not important is because, sometimes it pushes us to do negative things or make the wrong decisions. Imagine a case where we regret not gambling a particular game and then the same played. Another time we may be pushed to bet on a game not because we want to or have made a good analysis of the game but because we remembered that we did not bet the last time and that will make us bet the game and end up losing it.

Regret over a win not claimed is less of a problem to me than a risk gone wrong, especially in such a scenario as gambling. When you gamble not only are you putting money down the line, you're also risking your own mental health even more, especially if you're someone who hasn't steeled their resolve just yet. So while wins not claimed might sound bad, and they are don't get me wrong, I think in the grand scheme of things it's much worse to lose it all in the process since at the end of the day that's money that's gone.

Plus risk is something you can control, the amount of wins you would incur, not so much. That's why risk management is a thing in the first place, you have to play around the risks that you will be facing, to maximize your profits and minimize your losses.
