Topic: The worst situation you're in that you regret that you learn about gambling - page 4. (Read 716 times)

Betting all your income is decision that is too brave and of course this is not recommended to be done, we have reminded and given advice to each other that you must bet according to you abilities so that you can accept whatever outcome will happen.
You have to understand that in gambling nothing is certain and everything can change in an instant in just very short time, from here you must always be careful and not make the same mistakes or carelessness.
Everything has happened and regretting it will not be able to return your money so what you need to do is forget about regrets and learn from mistakes like this so that in the future it never happens again.
Remember, you must be able to have limits on betting and must be able to accept whatever will happen from the bet.

Hahaha, that normal, you lose control and make carelessness because of the opportunity and belief that what you are betting on will win.
Similar things often happen and are experienced by most gamblers, so what you have to keep thinking about is maintaining financial stability and also maintaining limits so that you can keep them under control.
Sometimes advice is also often forgotten when faced with very interesting opportunity.

Like I always said I am not a chronic gambler and have not been in such situations, but I have a story related to this where a guy was given money for his school fees for the semester and he didn't comply with it and later he used the money to invest in gambling and he lost the money and he was so ashamed of going back to his dad to request for another one so his dad decided that he should sort himself out and that made him had issues with his academic session that year.

I think that we are people who need to learn many things and that we need to live many experiences , therefore we are people who always try to do things and try to be careful to learn, if we do our things and due to bad luck we have lost a lot of money , no It is correct to say or say that having visited the casino because the casino is Just a place of entertainment, where we have all gone at some time and had fun, it is not correct to say that it is the worst thing that has happened to us, in this order of days. We must see the things in the good sense of all this, first, they are experiences that help us grow, if we are in a casino we must know what we are Getting into , it is obvious that the casino will always have the house advantage and they will everything to win, we also have to be clear that the casinos will always be the largest gaming sites in the World.

If we regret losing in the casino, that's fine , I accept it, maybe , when we lose Money it's a difficult thing, in fact, who likes losing money ? I think that Nobody , once the prize will always be ours, we are the ones who make the decisions, if we are in a casino and we start betting in an unstructured, disorderly way without respecting our money it will go away , it is something obvious, it is something that we cannot Avoid , but it is always our fault, because at no time does the casino tell us that we must bet this or that, or that the casino forces us to bet, no, we are the only ones who decide to bet, like bet, When to do it, how much money we should do it and we ourselves know and decide how we are going to play, no one forces us, it is up to us to look for excuses for a loss of bets or something, even so it is not the right thing to do, it is the least thing to do , Blaming the caisno, blaming someone else is not the right thing to do, the fault is entirely ours.

I've never been in that situation. But I have several close friends who experienced something similar to what your friend experienced. In my opinion, the frustration he experienced was quite severe because he used money from several of his friends to gamble without their permission. In the end, this case had to be handled by the local police. They reported him on charges of theft. This is very frustrating for the perpetrator because he did not expect that it would end like this. Moreover, the person who reported it was his own friend. From this incident, everyone can finally learn that gambling addiction is indeed very dangerous for social life when we don't have other positive things to do as an outlet.

I have not really been in any situation like that where I regret learning how to gamble. I have seen people regretting and casting blame for knowing how to gamble. I have heard stories like that and have read about situations like that, but I have not been in such a state and will not be in such a state.

A friend (gambler) made a statement one day, and he said, "If you have not been addicted to gambling or you have not actually gambled off what you are not supposed to lose, then you are not a real gambler." To me, that kind of mentality about gambling is unwise because real a gambler is not even supposed to allow himself gamble with money that was not meant to be used for gambling. If someone practices a compulsive gambling lifestyle, that's when they can be in the kind of situation you described.

One guy that I know is a shoe dealer and has a big shop, but sincerely speaking, his shop has shot down. He was a compulsive gambler, and he was gradually using his business money to gamble, and every good in his shop was just depreciating until there were only a few shoes remaining and he didn't have any money to order more. His life is just reckless, and he is there, sitting at home all day long or being invited by his friends to go and drink.

Personally, I haven't experience having worst situation when it comes to gambling but I just want to share the experience of one of my closest person. One of the things I remember is the time when all the money he saved was used up as well as the money for his business because his friends asked him to go to a casino. He admitted to his family that he knows how to gamble but he never thought that he would become addicted to it and lose his hard earned money in just one snap.
He came to the point where he almost committed suicide due to depression and he didn't know where to get money because he had used up all of it in gambling. His debt also increased so he decided to apply for a job in another country. That was his escape. that served as his rehabilitation and until now he has really stopped gambling. His life has improved and he has recovered from the bad situation he experienced. He regretted gambling but he was also thankful because if he hadn't experienced that, he might not have learned from his mistakes.

When I gamble all my income at a goal thinking that the game is a sure game for me, but with in some seconds everything changed and the bet lost, Which result in me losing a huge amount of money, at that point, I regret ever getting moved in gambling in the first place.

By that time I now recall the warning that is always given for gambling here in the forum which always state that we should be careful about gambling since it can ruined one life or mess you up real bad, this made us obvious to note that you will record alot of such situations and at some point you end up in regretting your actions.

'
not many people can handle themselves in front of their games. usually, they will follow their own desires and so they most certainly spend money beyond their budget. but if you can handle yourself, and still know your limits then, that's good for you, right? you don't have to worry about the possible repercussions because you are staying within your means. and if you keep on such track, you will indeed enjoy the fun side of gambling. and that you will appreciate its existence because you can see the good side of it in terms of entertainment.


it is his life and his money, so he can do what he wants to do. but the consequences of course, it is him that can suffer. so let him be. he will learn his lessons in his own time. denial is common among gamblers. but we all know the truth deep inside. if you fail to address such imminent problem, you will be at a terrible situation not only for you but most probably for your immediate family.

Really you have found a good side in the gambling that you play and I think you have been able to gamble well and also really enjoy every game you play, if you can gamble like that, of course you are very good at managing your emotions when gambling and also You will not experience addiction from the gambling you play.

In my opinion, it is very rare for people to enjoy gambling as you say, because mostly I see everyone who gambles greedily so that they experience a lot of losses from the gambling they play and will have financial difficulties and what is worse is that they are more concerned with the money they have. they have on gambling rather than using it for the needs they need.

I have never felt regretful just because I got to know the world of gambling and studied it and played there. I regret not because of the gambling that I did, but I regret the bad behavior that I did when gambling and that happened repeatedly, making me a person who was quite careless in making decisions when placing bets that only resulted in losses. . And starting from these problems and the feelings of regret that I experienced, I was determined to become a better gambler, but not in the sense of a gambler who was able to win every time he placed a bet. But a gambler who is wiser in terms of self-control and good finances. And by gambling wisely and controlling my finances consistently well, this has proven to be able to help me overcome the losses I experience in the gambling I do. Which is not only able to enable me to manage risk well, but by doing this my gambling becomes even better, where this gambling activity does not interfere with other activities.

Neither you have used it on gambling or other means, using up someones money is never been that good or simply its considered stealing i should say on which making use of something
which you arent that permitted on doing so would always be that not a good thing to be done. Just like you on which i dont have any regrets on knowing gambling yet
im really that doing gambling for leisure and entertainment. The money spent is the only amount on which i can afford to lose or simply the amount that had been allocated.

The only wrong things on why people do end up miserable is that they do really let or make themselves that being excessive on the things that they are dealing on with.
Regrets do always come at the end and this is why you should really be that mindful on the actions that you are making and not really just that
simply letting it slip right aware on the moment that you do make out such act. There's always an accompanied consequences on every act to be made on.

Fortunately, I didn’t regret anything that much because I’m a responsible gambler the moment I start my gambling journey, though sometimes I play with too much emotions and that result into losses but I didn’t regret it. Gambling is too risky, if you are going to spend the money that is not yours that could be your riskiest decision especially if you don’t have the capacity to repay it instantly.

I have a close friend that spends around 20/30% of his salary despite he needs that money maybe for an holiday or just some health issue. Of course he is not earning one euro from this activity.
I don't like that he is wasting so much money on this activity but it seems kind impossible he can change his aptitude... "I will get a xxxx euro win" .... I think this is just a mental justification likewise "I continue to bet because I like it...and I can't stop it"
Gambling led people to lie. Not only to other people but also to ourselves.

Something that I have learned about addictions is general is that the person may live in self-denial all they want but you know that moment when you all alone and you have this conversation in your head with yourself about how you could quickly gamble with your savings, tuition fee, house rent, vacation money or anything other with the mindset of multiplying it, that is the very moment you should know that your addicted to gambling and it shouldn't be ignored.


I am reading so many comments here with my mouth opened. I can say that gambling addicting should not be trivialized or looked down neither should be person which is addicted be mocked for speaking up or seeking help. If you have a friend and you notice the slightest symptom of addiction, help that person. Do not wait until they have done something stupid as a result of the addiction before you help them.

And to those who are reading this and are still struggling with gambling addiction or any other addiction, my advice to you is that do not lose hope and faith. If others can overcome it, then you too can.

I have not had any case where I used funds entrusted to me for gambling. I have never gambled with loans, credits or used funds, not mine to gamble. But I have had an incident where I regretted my gambling activities. There was a day when I got my weekly wage and a friend told me that a man informed him that he got some numbers from an insider. He convinced me that these games were sure they would bring a big win. I used the entire week's wage to stake in the game. I had already calculated what I would do with the wins but when the results came out, I lost the game. The consequence was that I had to suffer throughout the week to survive. I was depending on my co-workers to feed and they were mocking me that I used my funds for gambling. This was how I learned my lessons to gamble responsibly and to bet only what I can afford to lose.        

Being a gambling addict can effect your life totally and ruin many good things you use to have suvh as relationships with your friends or relatives, it may also effect your personality and treatment with people just as a drug addict so when you have a winning day, your treatment will be good with people and the opposite when you lose.
I have many bad situations and I learned a lot from gambling addiction, with experience I discovered one good thing which changed the way of gambling for me and when should I gamble, it’s very easy to enjoy gambling even when you lose in situations where the money you are using is not important and is just that amount of money you keep for fun, for instance chosing between going to a trip and spending on food or other expenses or just staying at home with your cup of coffee, computer and have a good session in slots or Live casino.

Even though, I had some situations where I thought that gambling is bad and it is the main problem not me, my first days in online casinos where profitable until one day when I had my first big loss, the money I should keep for university expenses I used it in BlackJack and lost it all due to chasing losses, with time I have learned that you only regret the important money you lose while you wouldn’t care losing that extra money considerd or reserved for fun, but the opposite when you win big from that money it’s more enjoyable.

Personally, it has never happened to me, neither involving people I know. I just have heared about stories of other people who I didn't meet personally, but that had end very tragically, due to them not repaying the money they borrowed from loan sharks. That is why we don't recommend anyone borrowing money to gamble, because the outcomes can be devastating for gamblers, making them unable to repay the debt later. The sole decision of holding money which isn't yours is already risky enough and should be disconsidered if you are suffering from compulsive tendencies.

Unfortunatelly in the story you shared, the friend didn't know his fellow was a gambler, therefore he trusted money to him. If it were me, I don't know if I would forgive the gambler fellow, because he should have warned he wasn't comfortable to hold the funds, due to his gambling addiction. Someone who knows to be an addicted has a moral obligation of warning others about their addiction, when they identify they can harm those people somehow.

Totally embarrassing or shameful on which you did spend out his money without his permission. For sure your friend cant trust you up anymore on leaving up some funds because they have seen on what you have done.

He/She cant trust you up anymore with those funds, he/she might be having that not much reaction on what happened but deep inside he had really changed up that views towards your or impression basing up on what you have done. Using up someones money just to feed up your addiction is never been that a good image. No matter how close you are with your friend but those things changed right now.
Just like been said above that you are lucky if ever your friend didnt changed up those views and have that concern on what condition you are right now.

We cant really be able to judged up people so easily on what are the reactions that they would be making but most likely people would really be
having that kind of the same reaction once they do know on what you have done.

If you only regret it then there will be no change at all in your life. A person regrets having suffered a huge loss, a loss he cannot afford to lose. However, the next day he returned to gambling with even more money than before, with the aim of avenging the losses he had suffered previously, as a result of which he did not achieve a big win and he lost again.

Feeling regret alone is not enough and we cannot repeat what has happened to our gambling, including replacing losses that we have experienced in gambling. So let bygones be bygones, henceforth and in the future we have to improve everything, gamble responsibly and with full control, so that at least even if we are not able to achieve a big enough win, we are able to minimize the losses that occur.

Well, that story, if at all it was not made up, that is, if it really happened, then, I can only imagine how embarrassing that must have been for the guy who spent his friends money on gambling.
The story looks very similar to that which I shared here some time ago, of a soon to be couple who were preparing for their wedding, the wife to be saving money with the husband to be, and the money was supposed to cater for the wedding expenses, but unfortunately, the husband to be ended up gambling the whole over five thousand dollars away, his reason was that, he thought he could double the money so that the burden of the wedding expenses could be lesser on the wife to be.

Many people have made grievous mistakes when it comes to gambling, unfortunate enough, I myself have only made such mistake ones in my life, and mine isn't as bad and embarrassing since it's my money I actually gambled with, but I played with an amount which obviously I could not afford losing, but I lost it, and the shock landed me in the hospital, that period, I regretted for sure, what brought me into gambling.

But just as it is commonly said that "as time passes, healing happens", I completely gotten over that loss, and I've always been careful not to make same mistake ever again.
