Topic: Risk or regret? (2) - page 10. (Read 1739 times)

I live by this rule it's better to miss the bet than to lose the bet but I know deep down that the pain I will feel finding out that the bet I was supposed to use to change my life did work out but I did miss it will be more in fact so most time people do love by it as life time regret.

You might try to convince yourself that the gamble that did work out which you missed didn't get to you that much but truth be told it hurts more to predict and never bet on it when you know it would have worked out as predicted if you took the risk is more painful than missing losing the bet.

Your opinion about taking risks in gambling isn't a bad one but I think you're missing something and that's for gamblers to know the limit of their risks when gambling. It's one thing to take risks in gambling but it's absolutely a different thing for gambler to know the kind of risk he's taking and his power to manage himself when the risks fail to work in his favor. While taking a risk as a gambler, make sure you're taking a risk based on the fact that if you lose at the end, you can afford to manage the effects of your loss. Some gamblers who know little about taking risks goes miles to take unnecessary risks just because they want to belong to a league of risk takers and if they lose their money at the end, they begin to have suicidal thoughts as they can't bear the consequences of their risks. So before you take that risk make sure you can absorb the effects of your risk but if you can't, then it's totally needless to take such risk

The same, will consider this as a painful regret, not daring to risk a bet that already knows the victory.

I think if this happened to me then that moment would not be forgotten and always remember the incident where we did not take action on a bet that won a large amount of money that could change the life even more decent or say become rich in the bet just that we did not take the risk.

There is a saying that "you will regret more for opportunities you did not take than for those you took and they went bad". This statement is so true for me and I don't know if it is for others. So, I take informed risk while hoping it become successful but where it doesn't, I will simply take it as one of those things, at least I tried my best. I know that regrets can be very painful that is why I try to ensure I don't risk so much that will make me to regret. Hence, I will not encourage anyone to take unbearable risk because that is not sustainable in gambling.

I think everyone one is just cut up by the same fact ; Do you know how miserable I'd see myself for refusing to wager on a game that later cuts? It's better to not have an idea at all about whatever team is playing against who, than speculating and not wagering.
What's this mistake you speak of? When it's already a win for you cause you decided to take the risk? Or when you're hesitant about it and it later turns a big win?... This is a game of luck and chance; after making predictions and everything, with lots and lots of confidence and experience, you still gotta wait for the final results. Sometimes, the results come in favour of you, but not at the right time in the game....

The pain from losing an opportunity is more for me, it's better that I followed my instincts and lost the best than I was dragging foot and lost an opportunity to hit it big.

I've had that scenario in one time friendly match between Andorra and Switzerland which I wanted to place my stakes on Andorra. I was about leaving my house for the casino when I had an August visitor. I entertained her until I forgot my mission. When I checked in it back, Andorra won with an odd of over 30.

The pain I felt that day made me see that girl as bad luck and I avoided her for a long time. I wouldn't have felt such pains if I staked on the game and it didn't convert.

Let not get it twisted, where there is no risk, there won't be rewards, so as a gambler there is a need to take the risk as much as possible, but also we have to avoid regret as much as we can also, since both risk and regret are two different things, but the thing there is that I will not regret for not taking a bet because I have not risk anything in that order and since we have to understand what we need and what is ours which are two different things, when you risk a stake on a bet, that point you become involved with that game, but when you are not risking any money on that such a game, you will not be involved and highest is to just watch and enjoy the game and regardless of which direction the match ends you will not be overly affected by the outcome, so don't let greed deceive to regret and think that your predictions could have won you such a bet.

Sometimes neither of these feelings can be completely expressed because it's some how almost equal having to face either of this experiences, regretting comes with both winning, loosing and not playing, sometimes people can win and still wish they had staked more on the game and would have won more than they had won already so it's really depending on the person who's betting at every point in time. But I think that which anyone should regret is playing a game and loosing it but not playing and it becomes a win should be a lesson and a pattern to take note of some other time.

Risks are norms in gambling because we basically undertake unpredictable risks with the hope that we're going to win. We don't only risk our funds because the reaction of our emotions during when we wins or looses is also a risky.
To me, regrets are for greeds and irresponsible gamblers because they're either not in control of themselves or they want to walk away from the casino on compulsory huge winnings and later on they looses it all and regrets at last.
So risks can stay while regrets is eliminated.

I won't have much pain from a missed bet. There are always opportunities to grab some other nice games and wins good rewards. So we don't have force it so we don't end up making mistakes. On the other hand, it will be painful, taking risk on a bet and at the end of the whole game we come back with nothing. That's much more painful to me. I'll just rather not take such risk that is far above my play limits or even miss the game. Even though we know that loss is inevitable when it comes to gambling but then we must be able to minimize our risks.

Regret hunts our emotions for a long period. However, there's nothing to regret about not staking money on a game that later ended positively according to my predictions. Since money wasn't involved I would get over it. The pain of losing money also comes with regret, which disturbs players with numerous frustrating thoughts.

It's better to avoid taking such risks that'll take us into regrets. Because those hours spent reminiscing about the mistake wouldn't have caused any positive change. Once the gambling outcome appears, players must move ahead to something new. Living with a sad memory doesn't help us emotionally.

Every gambler must have understood that loosing money is part of gambling, already risking what one is able to lose and not being bothered by the outcome shows the level as to which a person understands gambling and it's risk factors. The regret from not taking a bet which ends up as the winning option would definitely have more effect, it's more like having this consciousness of what is right and yet not doing it then having ones self to blame while facing the consequences. It is better loosing a physical assets than loosing one's mental state, definitely our emotions will get tempered during the whole scene.

Risk is always going to be the most painful experience for a gambler and trust me most of the gamblers still take it to try their luck. Gambling is risky without any doubt because we are literally trying to win against house edge of a casino and that's a huge risk as there's higher chance to lose against it.

Even in sports betting there is risk that we take when placing our bets because sometimes the team that we think can perform good tends to perform so badly when we bet in their favor and in such times we don't make profits but losses if we take the risk. And losses are truly painful.

We all have different opinions when it comes to risk and regret. To me, one thing I don't like to do is regret why I didn't take action or why I did something I did. Regret is one of the things I hate the most to experience.
 
It's better to take the risk of placing a bet and losing the game than not taking the risk at all and later realising that the game played according to the way I predicted it to play.

Having those regrets because of missing out those bets will really be keep on haunting you or something that you cant really be able to forget. Whereas, on the time that you would be missing out those bets and you do know that the potential earning or winning you could get is something big then you would really be keeping on thinking of it until you would really be that becoming stress because of it.
Which is unlike when you do lose a bet then it is really that something that becomes normal and just like the rest been saying that you would really be just that easily forget and moved on on the moment that you would really be tending to proceed or continue on what you are doing. There are really those conditions or times that you cant forget a thing specially on missing out opportunities or missing out those conditions that you will really be potentially be  gaining up that huge amount of money that could changed up your life. This is why gut feeling could neither give out that kind of hesitance whether you would really be that proceeding on the things that you are really that dealing into or would really be trying out to skip just because you cant be able to bare up with those odds or chances to win.
The important key on here is that you should really that make use of the amount which you can afford to lose on betting, if it turns out that you are hesitated then its your choice whether you should
proceed or not.

For me, regret not taking a risk and fail to win a life changing amount is more painful.
Because as time goes by we will forget about our losses on gambling, and I'm sure all gamblers also don't want to remember about that.
But the regret of fail to win big money/life changing money will never be forgotten, we will always remember it - that's why it hurts more than losing because of taking a risk.

Many times I have seen games I wished I played but didn't play. Such situations only end in regrets and it cannot be compared to actually losing money, especially if the money is so big that I cannot afford to let go just like that. To me, losing actual money hurts more. We might be regretting not taking certain actions but if we were actually given the opportunity to do them, we might not even do them right. So why should I feel hurt over what I'm not even sure will turn out well?

There is no point getting severely hurt over money or opportunities lost while gambling. Gambling is all about winning and losing, if I lose my money or an opportunity today, there will always be another day to try again. Too much emotional attachment to our gambling life will only put too many negative thoughts in our head that will make us even get depressed. I have learnt a long time ago to always accept the outcome of any decision I make while gambling.

The pain after losing the bet is way harder to swallow than non placing a bet and that is I think what most other gamblers will say here.For gamblers who are playing often they dream of that life changing amount but anytime they chase it they end up losing loads of money just like I did right now following that dream which honestly I think is way the devil plays tricks with us.I have to settle down,go to Church and stop thinking about that life changing event that will never come,just tell me which of the gamblers that play daily is happy with their life,if you read the chat of well reputable casinos you will see that almost no one is and I definitely have to get out of this vicious circle which is worse than the 9-5 rat race.

Not taking the bet is not as painful as you have not lost any money except imaginary one,you can feel a big regret but it is never as big as the one which you feel when you have recurring loses in all your sessions.

I'd assume gamblers would be more hang up on about not taking the risk on a winning bet that could have been life changing than the risk they took on a losing bet, I mean, losing a bet is a normal occurance for a gambler so I'd assume they a more used to it by now, unless the money they used on that bet is something they couldn't afford to lose and would have dire consequences if they lose it.

To be considered a gambler, you'd have to take, not just a couple, but several patterns of risk; including the type that involves a higher stake on a single or double combo, all in anticipation for the better... For the most part, this is not always the case, but they'll still need to try if they really wanna secure a win.. if you ain't taking risk, how do you secure a win then?
I think I'll go with the pain and regret of refusing to risk it all - afterall, that's what you gotta do all the time... If it's a life changing amount, I might feel very sober for miscalculating and not hitting in that opportunity... That'll only happen, but to a limite; This is also the fastest way to embrace addiction.
