Considering risk and regret, which do you think will be the most painful for a gambler?

- the pain from taking a risk that they take on a bet and they lose, or the pain from regret of not taking a bet that ends up as the winning option, a life-changing amount?

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.

The truth be told that, one major reason why people always end up with regret is because they aren’t actually wanting to be responsible for their actions and end up getting trap in the opinions of others.
Just as I write in this thread that, it is always better to take the risk especially when it is the one you can afford to take rather than getting trapped in the boat of regrets of missing out.

Gambling is already a very risky game and anyone getting involved in it should be ready to be responsible for their actions or be ready to miss out from a lot of opportunities or take unnecessary decisions

I have gone through both, and the experience is painful on both, but the latter is the one that seriously hurts. I experience sleepiness and sorrow. It was a lotto bet I just missed by a few minutes betting those lucky numbers that turned the jackpot and that could have changed my life.

I tried to avoid that kind of scenario, so I always bet early. When I come up with numbers, I make it a point to bet them so there's no regret, whatever happens. I could let it pass if it's a small win, but if it's a life-changing amount, you will blame yourself for a long period of time, which will cause depression.

I gamble to be happy. I used to have this dilemma a lot when I didn't turn gambling into a form of entertainment. We don't know for sure that we will win and we don't know for sure that we will lose. We are more likely to fail. But we don't know what percentile our next chance will be. So I don't think it's necessary to think about risk or regret. Instead, I think looking for ways to have fun is a better choice. I gamble with small amounts and I usually bet on football matches. This activity makes the matches more exciting for me. That's the only meaning of gambling for me.

Like I said in the other forum, I prefer not betting at all and regret it for a short period of time than for me to go on and bet with money that I know I can’t possibly afford to lose just because there are possibilities of me making more with it and if I eventually lose it I won’t be able to forget it easily.

If I should miss a bet I.e a bet I didn’t play - it will only take a couple of hours before I take my mind off of it, because I know that the money was never mine to begin with, crying over it seems like I just went to someone’s house saw him crying over the money I saw in his house.

Good question, but I think both could be painful for gambler. Yes, we know that risk and we are willing to take it, however, most of the time we "believed" that we are going to win no matter what the odds are. And so if we see that our bets are almost close to winning, then it change course and we ended up losing, then it has a big negative effect on us mentally. I know some gamblers who can't sleep at night thinking of like the post mortem, what went wrong to their bet and why suddenly the God of gamblers doesn't want him to win that bet, specially if it is a life changing amount.

And it could be the same with the regrets, you probably there to put your bet and suddenly you change your mind or you are late as the betting line was close (happen to me last night during a run with roulette games). So the same effect on me, was so mad and then blaming myself for not putting that bet on time.

Most risk are worth taking cause you might end up getting that thing that you eventually risk for but nothing is more painful than regretting to not have taking a bet that Worth alot winnings for you, it's very devastating and fustrating like I know how it feels to have missed such opportunity.

Well taking the risk and loosing won't be that painful as regretting not to have betted,cause it's an avenue that one made an attempt,that's why you see most people visit sites and offline bets shops to keep trying cause they feel definitely or certainly one day they'll win big but not trying at all and then you hear from a friend how he won huge amounts would be so painful and regretting.

I think it is the pain of not taking the risk and the games turns out to be the winning options, I just remembered the last time something like this happend to me. It made me to consider to take every bet that my mind thinks will be a winning option. I was glad I had a friend that stopped me from doing that because later, I understood that it was just desperation that was giving me that kind of thinking and I would had lost money if I went ahead with what was in my mind. When you take a risk and lose, you would not get angry because you know you tried your best but to live with the thought that you had an opportunity to better your life and you did not take it because you did not want to lose an amount that you will still lose later when you gamble is very annoying and painful.

Regret will be the most painful for a gambler because when they lose their money in gambling, they will regret even if they are often playing gambling, feeling of regret will be there. The risks will also painful but some people can reduce the risks not to becomes big but they will still regret when they lose.

But if that is about the regret of not taking a bet that ends up as the winning option will be different than the regrets when they lose because they will not lose their money and only lose their chance to place a bet. That will not considering as a lose and that is not a risks because he is not placing any bet. The regret of not taking a bet that ends up as the winning option will not stay too long because they will have another hope to win from gambling games. That will makes them think twice to place a bet now or later.

Speaking out of experience the pain from regret hurts more especially when you would have won a lot of money, I remember when I placed a bet on sporty bet with 18 naira I wasn't expecting it to have a successful outcome because they were just random selections that was why I staked very low, to my greatest surprise the game was successful and I won 26 thousand naira, instead of being happy I was having regretful feelings of not staking a thousand naira on that game..the pain of taking a risk and losing can't be compared to the regret of missing a big opportunity

Regret.

Regret isn't only about lose opportunity for not betting, but the feeling to regret for losing a lot money for gambling and regret for not making money from gambling.

Gambling and risk can't be divided, even life is full of risk, but some people might not able to take risk of losing money in short time. So, if they don't want to risk any money, they shouldn't gamble at all.

It always hurts more to bet because you took a risk with the positive belief that you would win and double the capital that you bet on. It hurts more if you lose compared to
if you didn't bet but it hit.

Because of that, you thought it would hit, but you didn't bet, and what you thought hit, and it happened in the casino you were watching. You will only feel regret compared to when you bet and lost the money you bet because you lost.

It is hardly possible to seriously worry about an unmade bet, the winning of which would change your life - I can assume that the odds of such a bet must be very high. What is there to regret in this case? That you did not know the future in advance?
Personally I never regret losing bets if it's a high odds bet, I like to bet on events with odds of +-10 so losing here is an absolute routine. But when I lose a bet with odds of 1.1-1.2 it's an absolute pain, especially if they were part of a multiple bet.

This is hard question to answered but indeed i personally will be more regret to dealing with the situation not taking a bet that ends up as the winning option especially if i won the bets it can be considered as life changing amount because in my opinion this chances probably only happened for once in our lifetime so i would very regret if this is happend to me

And i have to says facing the situation above is more painfull rather than taking the risk and ended up with the loses because taking risk and lost in gambling is commontly to happend even every gamblers has dealing these situations quite often because we all know gambling is fully of risk and we never know when luck comes to us

We all have different personalities, I don't regret losing bets much, I have too lost bets many in my life. I wouldn't like to miss a nice win, but that happened to me many times... I'm sure I cursed and grumbled at the moment, but that didn't last long either.

When we enjoy gambling we do it because we like the thrill, we like the game... after losing we know we will come back and give it another try, and maybe we will have more luck. The same is when we miss a nice win, we hope that we will catch some big one in the future.

Gambling is full of ups & downs, nice wins & great losses... when you gamble for decades all that comes as something normal. Simply there are good & bad days, but we don't know what our day will be like if we don't take risks, so we gamble and risk...

Both are painful, whether it's betting and losing your hard earned money or not betting and the game you would've bet won. Although knowing that I had the opportunity to bet but didn't and the bet won, I'd feel pained for missing out on the opportunity but the greater pain for me will be losing my money when I gamble. I wouldn't be too bothered about a game that I didn't play and it won, especially if I had a good reason for not staking it, if I dwell on such regrets it can make me to become addicted by always gambling everytime so I wouldn't miss out if it'll be a winning ticket.

There is an expression: "It is better to do something and regret it than not to do it and regret it."
If the deed is done, then you cannot rewind time; you need to draw conclusions and move on. This applies to everything, whether the risk was necessary or not. Everyone can decide for themselves how they will behave next time, and crying about what happened is useless.

Both are tough in my opinion, where one is due to risk and the second is due to the completion of not betting.

If it's because of the risk of betting and losing I think this is much better because we have tried our luck at the casino which makes us think that we tried it and failed, it's good than nothing, as long as with financial arrangements that do not exceed the limit it is much better, while if regret is because of not betting this is more complicated because feelings of regret usually have a long effect especially in amounts that can change life circumstances.

What you have to do is not to let yourself be in that situation, because if it is a life-changing amount you can win, then, you are betting with money you can't afford to lose. That in general, and, for example, if we talk about winning a lottery ticket, what you don't have to do is to always play the same combination, so that if you don't get the ticket or you lose it and you win the jackpot you have no way of checking it.

It is natural for a gambler to feel regret when he loses. But what seems to me is that gamblers would rather risk losing a bet if they have a life-changing reward win for a small margin on a bet. They will regret it more if they miss it. It may be that the gambler himself planned to place a large bet but moved his bet elsewhere on the advice of another gambler others to win such a match with the most regrettable feeling. I missed a large amount in a casino game that had about a 99% chance of winning but in the end I just didn't get lucky which left me feeling a lot of regret and I never forgot that.

It depends. Some people can not carry themselves not having the risk in their routine including gambling. For them risk is from the class of substance needed for their mind to be active while regret is like the maggot hole in their body so they live upon with risk every day, every hour in fact. Thus, again it depends on person.

Personally, I would select the risk rather than regret.
