This really happens to my friend in a horse racing, he is making a good run of winning he was in a winner take all bet and he needs to only win one, before he buys a ticket a winner take all-ticket, he has doubt on his bet on the 7th race because he is not the main favorite, he opted  for the favorite of race 7

He wins bet on all the 6 races  and he just needs one win and he is confident that the horse who he picks for a replacement on the horse he first bet to win the race, in the end, he loses the big jackpot in the 7th race because the horse that comes out the winner happens to be the horse he replaced with the favorite, he loses $3000 jackpot because of that.

He had a hard time moving on with that experience.

Part of the gambling experience, regret.

Feeling regret after a certain event is usual but who knows what will happen? If the other thing happens and your friend won, that's a different story.

Hard to move on but he needs to.

Yes it happens to me several times in dice game but it's about going to add more bet and continue to use martingale, once I stopped topping up because I already lost a lot but I do have a feeling that the next roll could be in my favor, but unfortunately I did not follow myt feeling and just proceed to do I have to do the other way around.

This is so normal, especially in some gambling that has two option only. Every decision has been made by changing your bet has reason, right? If you lost, then you should accept it and there's a lot of opportunity waiting for another bet.

I also remember before, reason why I changed my bet is misclicked, it should be on the Team A, but I clicked the Team B, and decided to change my bet to the Team A, and boom, the Team B won. It also comes with different situation, especially you are gambling with lot of option, not only two option.
The lot of options is much hurt and full of regrets.

That case really happened, not just on your friend.

Almost a win and just needed one but failed on the last. It's not a bad decision after all since results are unpredictable.

He is almost lucky to hit 6 races. If your friend just spends a small amount, then I don't see any reason why it should be hard to move on even the jackpot is $3,000. I will understand if the moving on part just lasted 2-3 days but if up to today, he still moving on then he maybe expects too much in playing gambling.

It is not really a lose but we might have the feel that we could at least won that last won and it may stress us for many years depends on the rewards amount.There is no doubt that in long run we are going to possible lose while betting so keep your hope low or none while betting.

Well, stuff like this happens. He needs to move on for his own sake.
I once had similar experience with lottery in 2009/2010. My relation played for many of us and I was probably the only winner. It didn't turn out well for me in the end probably because I didn't take it serious. It was a very painful experience because I spent so much money on final qualifications that I should have used for something else back then. I eventually let go and quickly recovered.

There are also various gamblers who really experienced on that regret. Even in sports betting, choosing a team and speculate who gonna be a win is hard to decide. That is a part of the gambling experience, besides this error will help you to have a great chance of winning ahead while learning old mistakes. Just move on and forgot loses, aiming for the next possible win happen.

Well.... It's just a part of the game! And although we regret because of our wrong choices, we should know that it could have been the other way around too, you might have choosen the other option and then if you lose, you would regret more because of not following your intuitions! Hence, just going with the intuitions and acceptance that win and loss are part of it might lessen the regret. And it's not the players fault, no one knows what will be the result of a game till it ends ;)

I am quite sure anyone who gambles has experienced a change of heart in the last minutes and decided to bet on something else completely different from his initial thought. I bet on football and often ask myself is my initial research and feeling correct or should I change my prediction. It is a hard decision. Whatever the outcome of the match you either tell yourself you are an idiot for doing it or smart move, that is the way to go. And next day it starts all over again.

I have a same experience but in sports betting.
I wanted to bet for a home win in a football game, but by mistake I bet for away win.
Then, I run to the sportsmaker to decline my bet, and he did that to me. In the evening I realized that the away team won and I lost a lot of money from my action...

Indeed, that is the reason why I prepare myself for the unimaginable outcomes of my plans and choices because you can't even trust your own prediction. Besides we are still having fun despite of losing, but it depends if you acknowledged it. That is gambling, there is no guarantee that you will always win sometimes you have to lose to improve yourself and your tactics.

I understand his frustration, I have been in similar situations many times before, I got all six race perfect however, I didn't put enough bet on my last race, I could have chosen the favorite, the second favorite and the third.

But I don't have enough money that time to make at least three or four horse bet on the last bet so that I can be at least on the safe side 4/12 on the last race, good probably of me winning. Unfortunately, the favorite didn't win the last race and so I should have won, in the end it all regrets and hard to get over with it.

I have heard of someone having such experience too in dog race.
Anyway, life is full of ups and lows.

Sometimes you are favoured and at another time, the favour is not seen. If we keep regretting in things like that, we won't take risk and we need some kind of risk too in life.

Every bad bet makes us experience this feeling unless we don't mind losing money that is. I have experienced this countless times and these failures help me learn and improve my betting abilities in order to make smarter decisions in the future.

This is the good part that helps me continue gambling in order to earn higher profits. Recent negative outcome for me was the recent England vs Australia test where I changed my bet from England to Australia mid way and got screwed(It was a small amount luckily).

Maybe it happened to a lot of people already, usually when we bet especially on a big bet, we will be worried our pick will give win or not. That is why or maybe reason people change their bet and then regret it. But maybe if the people take that 2  bet, previous and new one maybe he wouldn't curious anymore. But of course need more money to do that thing.

I did one time in a Dota match.

That is TI8, I am rooting for TNC  at that time.

I bet on EG but my friends are saying that it is a bad idea, so I switched to Liquid since I realized they can win and it is EG but then they lost at game 1. At that time I know that they will lose and my friends pushed me to bet on EG, I won back my loss but I just hoped I stayed at EG

Correct me if i'm wrong but your friend experience similar such as won the parlay on sport betting which mean you have to won all of bets to get the money and although you lost once then you didn't won the jackpot and if my thought correct i think i have similar experience too but on my sport betting that i made wrong decission and lost all of my money because didn't win the last match however i think this almost happends for every gamblers and indeed that's quite normal

This is a normal experience for all of us gamblers because most of the times our instincts tell us which to bet on but our other pat of mind declined the call .and after the deal things happens that we blame our selves because of denying the other decision
But in he end of the day?things will still happen that we lose by this decision making

Yeah we've all been there. I don't know how much he bet so we don't know what the multiplier was. I have grown my bankroll x3 from $100 just recently, so there I was sitting on $400 (in Bitcoin) and I was only $100 from my target. But I had 2 really close calls, and I was getting impatient. I thought, okay, why not I Just bet $300 at 90% 3 times?

I lost it on the 1st try haha.

On the other hand, I've also changed my mind on the last bet and worked out.

This is the same when having a winning streak then suddenly all your winnings disappear in an instant, you will regret being greedy and think that it shouldn't have happened.

From my experience it happened to me on sportsbetting. I bet all-in on random teams I don't know that time but I won 7 times continuously. Unfortunately on the 8th bet I lost all my winnings then that night I couldn't sleep thinking about what happened.

If you are gambling for a long time, this will happen to you several times, you will develop a hunch on some part of the game, some of it will come true some will not so better get used to it, but it's really disappointing it's part of the gamble that you have to accept.

I don't know how many times I have blamed myself for changing my bet or changing direction, sometimes I blame myself for days and if the pot is too high that is similar to your experience, but this is gambling and it's part of the game, sometimes you win big sometimes you lose it all.

Why did you choose horse racing?  I haven't tried horse betting but I don't see why I would bet to a horse that I don't have any idea if its health status isn't published in the public.  I don't have much opportunity to get some data an analyze the probability whether I can win or not. This is the same game with dog or mouse race.

@coin-investor that’s tough luck and this has happened to me many times, but I don’t regret it because it’s an learning experience for me. In your friends case you need to encourage him to gamble again, but this time make sure he gambles more based on his gut rather than experiment on a winning combination.

I often experience that. especially when I'm gambling on a sports book or e-sport gambling. gambling is really just try our luck. but it's actually fun if you don't use large amounts of money. in the case of $3000 of your friend for me that is huge money. i dont think i can calm my self after losing it.but what can be done after that happens is only accept and keep thinking positive things.

This scenario is pretty normal in betting with gambling there are decisions that surely a waste and I guess it is pretty frustrating but I guess it is also a lesson to be learned, and I guess that lesson is to know that gambling really has risk involved within it, And I think that is what many gamblers should keep in mind, And for me instead of regretting on the past mistake that I did, I will surely take it and accept it because I Risk is still there even if you are 100% sure that the outcome can be envisioned, I sure think that the outcome is not always 100% it will surely change if the fight or match is not yet over.  

I see no problem in this scenario. As a gambler, you should accept the fact that your decision doesn't always benefit you. There are a lot of scenarios wherein it's not favor of you maybe bcause it's not for you and you should accept it; that's how gambling works. That's why in gambling, you should be confident and certain to your decision; otherwise if you're in doubt then most likely you'll end up blaming yourself.

For me, regrets, pity, anger, and emotional stress, etc. is a part of gambling experienced. I experienced this when I bet to my favorite teams and especially if I have a winning strike and lose a higher amount of money/ my profits. Like other said it's normal, feeling if you lose right, and all vice versa if you win. We all know that feeling of losing and winning, its exotics if you still happy even you lose mostly everything right.  :)

This is something that we cannot escape, every gambler experienced this one time or another, our decision is always based on two things, our experience, and the logic and calculations, it could go either way, you can bet using your hunch and lose and you can bet with your hunch and win
the most important is you know how to accept your decision, win or lose.

Well, this is the fact of gambling and end up like these two scenarios. "Win or lose", either you win or you have lost in gambling, but you must accept whatever the result on it. A good gambler knows how to accept the outcome of the game. And regret was always there even you wanted to change your bet but the damage has been already done, you had already a loss. Indeed, just move on and forgot those loses, smile again and back to a gambling habit.

In real life, we often have to make choices and if we don't get the results we blame ourselves. In gambling, the situation is exactly the same. There are so many factors that we can't influence, but we depend on them. So blaming yourself is not the best idea.

There are really times that our intuition do keep pushing us to bet a certain thing even we do know that its against with the crowd or least favorite.

Our minds is the only one who do oppose such decisions yet it do knows on which one is being favored and its normal for us to stick on which one is being preferred.
I had experienced these circumstances on playing gambling and it can really make you punch out of nowhere when your changed picked do won.

This is called the luck factor in gambling. There are very few strategy based games in gambling field but this should the lucky pick and made his day bad than expected.
If he has analyse the horse and split the money to bet on various horses means he might not face such situation. I shot bet will not be helpful at all for us.

I do with most of my decisions when it goes bad or not in the way I wanted and it could make me feel for too long as well.But we are not having any power to change the results of bet but still our mind just blame ourselves for not winning it.

My biggest regret in gambling is in sport bet on that game I just gone with my favourite team and expected to win but unfortunately it lost and I lose as well.

Never ever consider gambling as a habit but rather a thing that do entertains and do relief out some stress.Its easy to say to move on but if you are on the same feet of that
gambler you cant really stop yourself not to regret and blame out yourself specially you do know on how big the money that you had possibly won if you do able not to change your bet.
Guts are also part of gambling and it do comes on random basis and as said this is what called some luck factor.

Yes ofcourse not once not tiwice I can't count how many I change my betting, but I didn't regret on that after becaise is part of the gambling strategy sometimes not lucky to get win.

I think the wrong choice like this often happens to many gamblers. because there are only 2 choices in gambling, you profit or lose. when you make the wrong
choice you lose the chance to win. don't regret it, because all of that is about luck. sometimes feeling helpful, sometimes make you lose

This always makes me lose most of my bets, especially football matches, Sometimes I think about how it will make me win the gamble.The uncertainty in the last stage makes me regret. :-\

Don't worry too much we all have been there but the most important thing is that we learn from our mistake. Learn how to trust our instinct because we are the only one that could make the difference of the outcome. Some of us may win while some of us lost too depending on our luck of the game.

In sportsbetting game, usually after i bet i leave the website and just wait the team i bet to play. That is why until now i am not get that experience yet. Maybe it can happen when we not really sure with what our bet, and then keep open the site we used to bet. Maybe if we can do it, something like regret when change a bet will not come to us.

Obviously, regretting that changing bets often occurs by most gamblers and it was a decision that made him collapse immediately after the winning streak he had previously obtained. So in this case I just feel it is greed, because in gambling we must have a limit when the right time to stop, even though we do not get the jackpot but at least we are not greedy and stop gambling with satisfaction with the results that have been obtained.

I've experienced it, but not in horse racing, and that experience I still often get, especially playing dice gambling,
often when I change my choices, that's what comes out,
like I searched below 0.1 and suddenly changed above 99.1 suddenly which appeared below 0.1,
even if I don't follow my heart and don't change it, sometimes my heart is right,
and is there any suggestion if you have experienced this too ?.

It's hard to fell into such messed where you made a mistake changing your original pick then lose. Lcky for you countering your selected pick and recovered your previous loss but not everyone can do the same most of the time they'll just let it go and accept the fact that it's all messed up and they will move on with another set of picks.

If your friend had a hard time moving on with that experience, then he shouldn't be gambling at all. I notice a lot of people trying to gamble but failed to know that it's all chance. There is no certainty towards the action that you are going to do or the outcome that you should expect. It's all about having the capacity to know what to do when a situation happens. That's the first problem that you may encounter and would continue in a series of problems then becomes an addiction.

What I remembered when I read your post is that the time I decided to click on BET again. It's those times that I encountered I shouldn't have bet again is the one I regret. But I don't want to be stuck in that past so I just move on and never looked back. I remind myself of what I lost there and what I could lose if I continue gambling more.

I am sure he will hard to move on from the losses, but he needs to forget that if he doesn't want to feel regret in all days. That is how luck works, gamblers will not know when he can win all of the bet, and if we only have to win 1 more time, then we should know that the luck will not stay with us. That is a lesson to him that when we were playing gambling, we are difficult to win because all in all, we need the luck factor that will help us to win. He can win 6 times, and that is because the luck stays with him, but unfortunately, he is lost. I don't have those experience, and I think my gambling experience was not too emotionally as the other people.

I also experienced that and this will make you depressed, imagine changing your mind at the last pace only to lose everything you've worked hard over the course of the game, you rather change your mind and lose at the beginning of the game than lose everything when you only need to win the last pace.

That was money turned into stone. LOL!

I've always made errors in my bets. A lot of them. But I can easily move on, no regrets. Crying over spilled milk does not bring the lost opportunities back. I think this somehow helps me stick to gambling. I can lose a significant amount and move on quickly and probably bet again the following day.

During the 9th The International (TI9) I've placed so many bets, shifted from one live game to another to place another better or bigger bet. The day sometimes ends with me realizing I've placed bets to both of the opposing teams, placed larger bets to the riskier ones while placing smaller to the safer ones, etc. Money is sometimes wasted in the process. Perhaps the only regret is that I didn't organize my bets well enough.  

Yeah, isn't that worst experience when you are  gambling? Mine was not in a gambling site but it is still related because it was on altcoins. I was going to buy more of eth back in January but changed my mind and just use it to invest in stocks because there is a hype on the new listed stock. If only I did not change my mind and bet on Eth then I could have made my investments almost 4x.

I have never changed a bet in my life as I don’t think playing around will help once you have already made up your mind.I don’t play horse racing but when I place a sport bet I am convinced at 100% for my choice and after I place the bet I never look back.Sorry for your friend.

Its kinda normal thing even for a casual gambler to be in the middle of hesitation, what makes it worse is when there were only two choices to decide which one would you like to place your bet. Happened commonly in sports betting, when you over analyzed the match up. After convincing yourself to place the bet on the first choice, yet you go over their match up history. Sometimes looking at their past match up history (example : NBA, Fifa) will mess up your sport analysis.

Things like this happens, it somethings that we do not want to happen but it happens, we have to always prepare on what's going to happen and admit that these things happen and if you are not comfortable with this things then do not gamble to save you on this kind of scenario.

When you are in gambling even you made small mistakes don't regret it, just move on and take this as a part your experience that you should correct by the next time. Good gamblers had a wise choice and don't hesitate of what you have been bet, don't change it. Once you have a loss, accept those things. Always remember that you are in gambling just to enjoy, don't get into depress or make angry just for a wrong decision. Nevertheless, that is not a good practice.

Sometimes there are events wherein we can't avoid regretting to our decision specially if we are talking about huge loss and that's normal. However, things can never get back and we can't go back from that time so that we can't alter our decision. Our time only moves forward at constant rate thus in every mistake instead of blaming ourselves, it'll be better to find a way to recover it in a way that it's less riskier in order for you not to commit the same mistake.

You friend is very good horse racing tipster.6/7 fantastic result
I had many that kind of cases.I have been changing my initial bet and lost because of that
i cause frustration sure but in a case of your friend it is good for him to focus on his great six wins instead of crying of one lost.Horse racing betting has to bring fun it is not only about money
And life is goes on so there are next races

Mistakes like these are unavoidable and its always been part not only on gambling but on all decisions in life we do make.
We cant go back in time to correct those mistakes thats why its important to move on and realize on what you had done so that
on your next bets you are pretty aware on what would you gonna do.Dont rely on guts or intuition because not all anytime this thing works
but we cant deny that there are lucky shots on basing into this guts thing.

I've regretted a large number of bets I've made in the past, especially with CS:GO betting where I'd flip my bet towards the overdog team from the underdog team while odds were extremely good for the underdog team, and the overdog would end up losing. That's actually a big part of why I often just place small-to-medium bets on underdogs with CS:GO betting nowadays, because the risk-to-reward ratio of betting on the favored team of some matchups is just terrible, and I find it's a bit more interesting to watch how the less favored team behaves and strategizes to counter the opposing better team.

First, no one will know what will happen next.
Your friend almost wins, so that teach us not to be greedy in his story.
If we can get the money in the 6 races, then I think we need to quit as soon as possible and don't expect to get another winning in the next races because you know the answer.
In the first 6 races, I am sure he has big luck so he can win all of the races, but unfortunately, in the last race, his luck is gone, and he cannot win the jackpot.
Fortunately, I don't have experience as your friend, and I always quit if I can win more than 5 times because I feel that the next games will not be the same for me.
We should get a good lesson from the story that we don't need to think that the next game will be on our side.
The luck will come by itself and never tells us.

I have already experienced this one especially when I’m on the winning situation where I am always thinking and doubting “should I take it all? What if I lose? What if I win? Or will only get one so that if I lose I am not that depressed”. In gambling we have so many what if but it is true that without risk you can’t win the Jackpot so in order to win big you should also ready to lose big.

No doubt with that. It was a jackpot of $3000 dollars. Imagine, you were so close to winning but change of heart happened. If that happened to me, I'm sure it'll take me time before I can fully recover from that loss.

But, that's part of gambling. We never really know what would be the result or even what would happen next. I also had a same experience but with different game and with smaller prize at stake so I was able to move on quickly. The best advice I could give, I guess, is "better luck next time."

Actually that's the common problem when it comes gambling wherein because of being had another thoughts reason you always made a mistakes that can cause regrets at the end.  If you continue playing and you are still uncertain on what you doing.  I suggest stop playing for a while  and come back once you're really ready on it.  Be specific because there's no way you can get back your losses on it.  Bear it on your mind.

Losing bet can't be recover and if that's a huge amount of stake you'll never forget such mistake, it's always reminded you that you supposed to pick the other way around, but instead you made mistakes and it's irreversible only regrets that will be there to chase you from time to time. Nothing that you can do but to accept that you need to move forward and keep trying not to commit same mistake again,.

how much did you bet ? how can you say that you cant recover your bets  .  if you are betting huge and you ended up with low balance then its nearly impossible to recover your losses but you can still bet , you will never know what if you will end up on winning streaks ? like what happened to me before where i max out the balance that i left and i win 4 times in a row , resulting for me to recover my previous losses pretty easily but the way i do is risky and wont happen oftenly   .

I regret so many bets before especially on a sports betting, well its really hard to chose where to bet especially if both teams are really good. Its ok to regret but don't panic because of that and remember that you can always have a good bet after a good sports. Experiencing this one is normal for every gambler or bettor, all we have to do is to conquer this regret and stay focus on betting on the right team.

I think feeling regret comes to all gamblers, especially if they use big money to gamble. But we should not stay in disappointment, and we should move on from the frustration so we can raise and forget the lost. And if you still want to gamble, make sure you are ready to face another loss and who knows, after you lose, you can win the game and take the money. But you should know that gambling is not a way to make money and you don't need to be a pro gambler to make money. There are many more things you can do to make money, and it's better to use gambling as an activity to get fun.

If my memory serves me right, I have not experienced any regrets due to quick shifting of bets. Perhaps the most regrets that I made are with handicaps or the bet amount. I normally chase higher odds and therefore risk on high handicaps. And sometimes I bet big on them rather than on a match with a more or less fair handicap. But these are not really regrets to the point of not forgetting and being disappointed about them for a few days.

Regrets commonly takes place with gambling. The inner mind suggests to pick an odd while the data relative to the particular game makes us pick the another odd. This way regrets will always be with gambling, it is not only with losing but also happens with wins. What has happened here with friend of Op has caused a loss.

If you gamble with regret then you don't do it for fun and you expect some gain after you play. Sports betting is still form of gambling though it has higher chance than others. An underdog team can still win if they can outplay the top team. Remember that gambling is a game of luck so don't regret if you lose.

Regret in gambling is a common thing, it may come on both when we are winning and losing but of course it gamblers feel more regret on losing. Regret in winning is something like when we win but there comes into our mind "why I did not bet bigger". I experienced this many times already, especially when I was hunting big multiplier in any games such as plinko, slots, and dice. I hit big multiplier but I hit it in the beginning when my bet was small amount. I know it is a luck, I might not hit it if I bet bigger amount since start but most of the time I regret it why it comes when my bet is just small amount.

I seldom change my bet I'm afraid to experience something like this, where I've lost a huge bet because I change my bet in the last minute, every gambler's nightmare is losing big time when they change their bet at the last minute, so far it only happens to me two times, and it's really frustrating.

That's a decent strategy, betting on higher odds usually brings profit based on my experience also.
When I was still new in sports betting, I though winning is easy so I bet on the favorites all the time but despite of winning more, I still realize that my bankroll is negative.

When you are not too confident with your bet, you might doubt and might end up changing it, so it's better to learn how to be a discipline gambler by skipping games that you are not fully confident in betting with.

We know that regret is a natural thing, there is no win you get because of the analysis you do in gambling, it all depends on your luck.
so don't regret if your choice was wrong when you play gambling. it's not your fault, it's just that luck isn't on your side

We all does as gamblers lol

Even small amount of bets yet we regret sometimes that we changed while our mind tells us the other one 😂

This is not just for teams betting but in all sorts of gambling in which sometimes card games,roulette,dice or others that requires betting .

We all experienced same ,but mostly we don’t give a care specially when the amount is smaller

You should not feel regret , otherwise bad things will come after you. How? You'll try to recover what you think it as a loss which I'm sure it won't be a happy ending but a more sadder and regret feeling.

Believe me I've been through that kind bad memories several times and now I've gained my experience to not doing that anymore.

Gambling should be done responsibly, you need to go home straight after your huge / streak losses, take some time to make a comeback and those regrets won't be your nightmare.

As a gambler, i have too many regrets why i changed the bet when my target number has been picked but i have the most regretting bet i've ever experience when i was playing in bitvest.io, i was betting 0.0003 btc per game in plinko and my row was customized in purple and my highest multiplier is 1250x i was keep playing 0.0003 while alternating rows in blue row and purple row now, the most regretting part is when i played the blue row now the highest payout n blue row is 4 which is the same row as 1250x in my customized row and much of my surprise it hit the 4x i regretted that play and instead to play in purple i could win 0.375 btc.

We experience that kind of regret. It's normal... Even as a student, we also experienced that, when we change our answer in the exam but end up it was correct after all.

My father is a fan or horse racing, he always experienced that kind of thing though it's not that big price and I just laugh at him. I'm always reminding him, don't change your bet and trust your first intuition. Cause it always happen to him.

For some people it does but intuition doesn't work most of the time.Most likely this will vary on how luck you are on a particular day.
For sure most gamblers do experience this change of bets but eventually their first choices do comes out which in result with regret.
These circumstances cant really be avoided this is why we should move on and play as usual and just enjoy the game without overexerting your
money and efforts.

We are all experienced on that regret while we are in gambling, that is a very common feeling that we feel while having decision especially if we are having hesitation while betting or choosing to bet. The important thing is you know how to accept losses if ever and move on when it comes. Stop blaming someone else or even your self, instead, smile and always remember those mistakes that will not happen again. Always remember that gambling is for fun whatever you decision made just go and let it be.

I personally experience this a lot, especially when I place football and basketball bets, I should have chosen A but because I wanted to be different from the majority I chose B  :D I don't regret it too much because on some bets I won too.

"don't think too much, regret and stress about the opportunity wasted because you will lose new opportunities that will continue to emerge"

Feel regret after you lose money in gambling is normal, all gamblers have this feeling too. But the problem is, can you rise your face to try to forget the loss or you will still memorize the lose? You need to move on from the feeling so you can try another game and who knows, you can get win in the next time you play gambling. I think right now, your friend can forget his losses, and you can hope that he will not make the same mistake.

Regret in changing bets has become commonplace and everyone experiences it and is not always accurate, but it doesn't matter to gamblers because after making a mistake there will definitely be truth or victory because of learning from mistakes.
errors in betting will be their experience to be more careful in betting.

That's true there's no gambler who has not made a mistake of changing his bet, every gamblers have experienced this, there's no perfect
gambler, it doesn't exist, but the most important thing is we need to move every time such thing happens, it's typical for a gambler to commit this mistake.

Basically, it has happened to several bettors which one can attest to. Personally, it has happened to me in 2018 March when I lost the sum of $300 for a long-term bet. This happened because I wasn't sure of my bet and a friend of mine approached me with his wrong bet and later changed my bet. After some games for one week, I discovered that my chosen games were on course why that of my friend went all wrong, till date I have never wanted to see him.

Almost everyone experienced it once they loss their bets,but we can't change anything by regreting ou bets but we have to forgot what we lose and try to start from the beginning if you are going to continue the gambling activities.

That is what happens, regret will only be felt for a moment because the gambler will surely bet again when he has gotten the results of the previous bet, because regardless of winning or losing they will continue to bet. So, such remorse will not make a gambler to stop betting, because usually such an event will make the gambler motivated on the next bet to do it better.

what do you mean ? regrets? or regrets after changing a bet ? any gambler can regret once thier loss their bets but not all are changing thier bets like for example me when i play , i play straight  .

specifically i use automated bets so i dont keep on changing bets .  i think i will feel the same even if i play with changing bets because i know how gambling works. .

I also often do things like this choose to bet on matches that have high odds than following most people bet on lower odds. I do that for fun but usually, the bet wins. I don't really think if it loses it's ok for me because I often get regrets when playing gambling.

Regrets about changing the bets,I meant the lost bet but it could never be done.So worrying about is also waste of time.

Knowing fully well that, the game of gambling involved luck, it will always end with regret for those who take gambling as a do or die affairs. One thing that kept me going in this industry is that, many times I have to ZERO my mind after place any bet because  most of my bet placement are just for fun. Worries after bet cut doesn't bring back the bet for changes, so, once the bet cut I move over to the next game. 

Regrets in betting is normal and it can happen more than once. I had however once regretted not playing a match that I when for the lesser team with the higher odd and then went with the more advanced team and in the end they lost to the underdogs

Ahh this has happened to me a lot of times already, and it’s not a pleasant feeing knowing that you could have won big on that single bet alone. Parlays are usually where it’s at, having to pick between the favorites or the ones that are the underdogs but played well. Usually, I’d still go with the favorites due to the odds, disregarding the present performance of the other team. I’ve lost too many parlays because of this and since then, I never dared touch parlay bets ever again in order to avoid that single mistake.

But some gamblers are always tempted to change their bet, sometimes it's an agony between your hunch and your reasoning, and if people are giving you a lot of tips and they are varied you are lost and will eventually change your bet from time to time it's part of the game and probably the hardest part of the game..

Not really changing a bet but the bet should have been placed earlier than planned. This was the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Thurman which happened only last July 20 this year. Why did I regret in not placing the bet earlier? Manny Pacquiao was the underdog when the odds was first released and on the last few days before the event, Manny Pacquiao became the heavy favorite and he won.

Another is the MMA fight between Adesanya and Anderson Silva at UFC 234 last February, Adesanya won the fight but before I hit the submit button to place my bet for Adesanya, I changed my mind and bet on Anderson Silva.

Unfortunately, he gets a bad experience in gambling, and we can see that he is hard moving from his loss. But he needs to realize that if he continues what he did, he will lose bigger than that amount. He needs to consider to leave the gambling games for a while so he will not remember that part. But if I were him, I will not enjoy losing that big amount because that will make me stress.

Because you have a hesitation while picking an odds to bet. Regret has always happened if you are always like this, just focus on what you have been made decisions. If you are losing by having a wrong pick, just move on and accept those things. Instead, you can learn on that way to avoid possible mistakes in the future bets.

Just don't dwell too much on it. Regret is a normal human emotion and happens when you could've chosen the right bet but instead choose another. Don't blame yourself since it's something that you don't have any control about. Mistakes, crucial mistakes, are part of any gambling session. Don't make such a big deal about it that it'll affect your decision making.

It is a lesson and learns, I know everyone does a wrong pick but not personally to think that is was a big mistake cause that is usual thing that might happen in gambling.
You are right, we have to accept what it happens. It is just to remember that failure is not the reason why we have to quit instead, we consider this a challenge to make things right.

Our instincts are 100% accurate most of the time, never doubt it. Always put your heart when you are betting, for your to avoid regrets in the end that may lead you to depression and I know that is the worst thing that could happen to a gambler. You will start doubting every decision you are making, you have anxiety and overthinking everything you are gonna do, in the end, you are the one who is going to destroy yourself.

Always take responsibility on every actions that you are going to make, moved on and learn from your failures, then keep on trying as long as your heart is beating.

This feeling happens to me regretting after changing a bet in a game. The moment that you already had the chance of winning but change of mind take place. It happens when playing a game our emotions take control. Regret experience indeed but we have to remind our self to move forward and let’s take this as a lesson to stand on our decisions.

In addition, some people tend to make changes because of the odds, personally for me I change bets sometimes because of the odds specially if my team have very low odds I would prefer to bet on the opposing team causing me to lose the bet.

I think every gambler have experienced this kind of things and we all have those regretful decision.
It is part of gambling and we all have different reason why we changed our bet ,
For others it is the higher profit if the underdog wins ,
But for me most of the time I would regret changing my bets into smaller or higher amount .
Because there are times that I would just play with small bets and win and think about what if I bet a higher amount then after I done it I would lose.

More gamblers suffered from that attitudes towards to this gambling activities. If you already have your pick accept whatever the outcome should be handled, there's no point of changing your decision inside the actual game, though it's not always happen but there's some time that we made mistakes and instead of standing to our choice we do bets against our will.

That`s right, every gambler experienced that! We all been in situations where we wanted to rise bets, but we didn`t and if we would we would win a lot, and in other situations when we wasn`t sure to place bet or not, and then we did it and lose. Both situations happen from time to time, if you gamble regularly.
Last time when that happened to me was week ago, on sports betting. I played crash, and I played 1.3 to cash out, and instead of placing higher bet cause I had some feeling, in last moment I change my mind and bet minimal, next 15 games were over 1.3. I could earn much more then I did.

I think the last time for me was yesterday on a crypto poker game on line, I did a all-in and finally I wanted to cancel my bet, but it didn't work, I think because of my connection the order was too late... and I lost all my bet... Fortunately, it wasn't a big bet.

Well, I have seen that gamblers mostly choose the best of all but they forget that it is all based on chances. If odds of other team winning are higher if you bet on sports, that does not mean they cannot win. Tables turn sometimes and those odds get down from the very high to dirt cheap odds when the game turns in favor of those we didn't choose. Why didn't your friend bet on online horse racing betting? Why did he choose to play offline?

what is meant against his own will in betting are those who will change the bet so when you have chosen and then reluctant to change the bet then it is not included against his own will, because when you have made a bet then you have determined and are convinced of the will you realize it must be fought when betting

It's hard to accept something that we have done in the past, especially if that is related to the bad experience. We need a long time to rise up and accept the bad things that already happen and try to move on. In a gambling game, there will be a bad feeling about the loss no matter how small or big the amount we use. So, only we who can fix that bad feeling by not doing the same things in the future. We can still play gambling again, but this time, we need to control what we bet. Don't use the money which we cannot accept it if we are lost and control yourself.

Just happened to me last night in real life gambling.

I was in a wake of a friends father when we started to play local Card game that needs bluffing sometimes to scared the opponent to draw

So the story goes we start playing until the pot money grows big and the competition is rising high,until I decide to Draw!!but my mind tells me not to so I skipped and suddenly the person next to me did what I intend to do and the outcome?im a loser lol

Its not exactly as changing bets but almost same changing mind in playing

That's different as here you are still playing and you are still making a decision, and its just sad that you make a wrong decision, and of course who would have seen the outcome, this is gambling its a guessing game.

I think the topic is more applicable on sports betting here you have already analyze and you think that bet will win but then you suddenly changed it.

That's why it's better to be objective in making decisions especially in gambling. That is, not allowing emotions to get in the way because the tendency is to gain more losses instead of winnings.

Well, past is past. Thus, to move on and move forward is the best we can do. Dwelling on the regret will not bring back our losses and won't do us any good. It's okay to feel such sometimes for gambling is unpredictable after all.

Yes, that is right. We cannot turn over the past so we can fix the mistake we made unless you have a time machine ;D

We can try to forget the bad experience in the past and learn from the mistake, so we don't have to make the same thing in the future. I am sure that many people are regret for their past, but we cannot do anything even if that will only need 1 step to get it.

Yeah it happened to me today. I just so happened to bet the Dallas Cowboys against the Saints... I did not do enough research into the game. My issue was I was busy all day and just so happen to get a bet in 5 roughly 10 minutes before the game started. After I got my bet in I started to study up and realized that the Cowboys game just so happen to be at the Saints Superdome. As soon as I realized it I thought about going and betting twice as much on the Saints. (To make my money back and a little profit)

The only reason I would have even bet the saints in that game is because the Super Dome can be one of the loudest stadiums in the country. The quarterbacks cannot hear the plays being called. That and alot of false starts and off sides happen because of it.

But yes I am sure it has happened to almost anyone who has ever gambled in there life. It happened to me today!

You should avoid that, you know the reason why you keep doing that? it's because you are not confident with your bet, or you haven't analyze it carefully before putting your bet. Why people are successful in gambling is because they confident with their bet and if that would give them consistent winning then they will end up profitable.

Making bet comes from your decision, and when it comes to decision making, you need to consider a lot of factor before you finalize your bet.
Of course this will not apply to luck based type of game like dice.

We all made mistakes because the other part of ourselves sometimes is toying with us when we are making decisions in general, we thought that it's our final decision but there is something inside us telling to change our bet if we want to double the amount of our bets, and turns out pretty badly because of losing, that is why it is important to have a solid decision making in gambling.

One of the main reasons why people do keep changing up their bets because they arent sure on what they had chosen and if they do hear out some recommendations or tips
their mind is easily be boggled which do ends up on changing their initial choices.There are times which we do behave like this but if it do happen frequently or most of the time then theres already a problem on our side.We should be confident on what we do choose and in able to obtain it then we should do further analysis with your bets.

It is really hard to move on with that huge amount of $3000. I experience that too but not in horse racing, I don't even experience to play horse racing. LOL. Anyways, I any kind of game we can experience it, in my case, I experience it with a dice game, colour game, sometimes with cards game. Being confuse in our bet is a natural attitude but all our decisions will have a big effect in the future. So be careful where to bet and be careful about where would you really like to bet so that, no blaming at the end.

I experienced that when I was betting with my friend when we were betting in a sport event in our country. He said he would give me an advantage +5 points when I switch team and I agreed. The game turned out really awful to me and lost about 200$ on a bet. Sometimes it is best to stick on your first bet after all.

I think gambling is generally full of regrets because it has been cursed to be a game of probability always, I would have too many things to regret about and the first is why I ever joined gambling in the first instance, and  I have lost a lot of money and I can't even recall the mistakes that led to it which is the main problem if gambling as you can never recall money.

I have decided to quit gambling and this time I hope not to return back to it. I hope this decision stays and yes I was already a big fan of horse racing. I think the best thing we can do for ourselves whenever we make terrible mistakes is to quit gambling for some time and that is exactly what I have done.  Hope others learn to follow suit .

And if we can learn from that mistake, I think that will help us to grow to be wise.
Without any mistake, we cannot realize that gambling will eat up our money without we realize.
It is always regret comes after we did something, but we cannot wake up from the mistake if we still regret what we did.
By learning from the mistake, we will have control for ourselves to prevent losing money.
Maybe we need to get out of the gambling places for a while to heal the regret, so if we come back to the gambling places, that feeling will not disturb us.

That is only normal I guess, in my case, it happens a lot in a dice game. I remember my gameplay that all of the bets are winning but for some reason, I change my bet into a higher amount and then suddenly all of my winnings together with my capital are lost in instant. I learned that I should be contented with what I have at that time. I think it is normal for us to lose because this is where we learn this is where we acquire experience, it'll only be bad if we made the same mistake. Also, I learned that if my winnings are enough I should take a rest for a minute and take half of it so that even if I lose I still got some of it.

It happened to me few times in sports bet (basketball to be specific).

I have this doubt that my bet would not win the game so I decided to switch. But unfortunately I was wrong with my decision.

I lost my money and all I have is this regrets and disappointment, if only I stick with my first choice then I probably win. But thats part of gambling so we should accept it if ever we made a wrong choice.

Similar cases often occur in gambling. Very often it is heard that they regret their bet. Feel guilty to yourself and disappointed because you failed to get greater results. In my opinion, this is not good to continue because it will result in higher stress. Receive your payment because the amount is at stake and is worth enjoying. Try not to act rashly.

"Just one more bet" has cost me a lot of money in the past. The trick is to quit while you're ahead, and if you're going to gamble, don't risk too much on one bet. Sometimes it's not easy, especially if the temptation is strong and you're 99% sure of the outcome. It's always a tough decision.

I always experienced having regrets in gambling. There is one time when i am playing poker i started to raise my bet because i thought that i could bluff my opponents. And also in a bet game that i shouldn't switch my bet and that i should trust my guts, that is why i sometimes lose a lot of money in betting because i am afraid to trust my guts.

Hei, I remember that word has been saying from many people. They say, "Just one more bet, and I can be lucky and rich from these games.." But the fact is they lose the money because the next bet is not their best chance to win. I already did say that too in the past, but yeah I lose that money too.

Sometimes, we need to feel satisfied if we can win the games and we do not insist on continuing playing the games. No matter how much the win money that we can win, it's better to feel enough and stop the games because we never know what will happen with the next bet.

During the 2013 -2014 football season when Moyes was appointed the manager of Manchester United after Ferguson's departure I made a very long bet where I staked a total of let's say $2 in my local currency and I stood to gain the equivalent of  $1000 but after a lot of deliberation I told myself that there was no way that Manchester United were going to beat Bayern Leverkusen due to their poor form and I was surprised to see them win by 5-0 and that was telling only game that spoilt my entire bet.

And those are stupid gamblers buddy,because they gamble but blaming others for their foolishness.gambling is one risky place in which more than the winners become losers yet people stays to gamble and there’s this one blaming the site because he lose!what a stupid person lol 😂

The first choice that you picked when betting is certainly a probable one during a bet. Trusting our instinct would rather help us to develop better decision making. We all experienced that situation, I myself played a lot of betting games on some sportsbetting games. Without enough skills in choosing my teams like in basketball, I only made a lucky pick but sadly got lost at wrong choice.

Regret happens when you don't when to stop or when you shouldn't have done it. It is very difficult to move on from that feeling but I think your friend learned something very important. This things will keep happening on us if we do not learn from our mistakes. Doubt is our first enemy then Regret will follow and haunt us for a long time. I wish your friend will get better soon.

It really happened to me when I change my decision to replace my bet with a new one several times and lose. There is a time that I bet what I wanted to bet and I also want to bet the favorite which I did which is a bad decision. In the end, I have two bets but not the same choice to bet and I regret it and lose money of course.

What is there to regret? He changed his bet and he lost. He didn't know that his first bet was going to make him win. Remember, this is gambling. You will lose sometimes and you will win sometimes. The exact opposite could also have happened? He chose a bet before and then changed it. His changed bet allowed him to win. This is called gambling. Game of chances. You never know what is going to happen. Tell him not to regret anymore and to move on.

Should be thankful that he only lost the opportunity to win $3000 rather than actually lose $3000.

These things does happen. Just got to move on. I think the best way to do so is tell yourself you didn't actually lost that money since it didn't even became yours, you can only lose what you have.


I feel situations like this hurt the most when you lost because you went against you gut instinct. Intuition is rather underrated these days. It usually is wise to follow when performing an action that is mostly uncertain anyway.

Actually things like this are sometimes confusing.
Changing bets and actually on these bets we get a win, then we regret what we do. Try to think otherwise, if it loses and we change to a smaller bet. Are we happy or grateful.

Right as said @adzino, we are playing gambling. What happens in the future is really unknown to us. Then don't regret things like this.

What makes confusing is that because we're not sure where we have to put out bets, we are in doubts and bad luck is coming.

This kind of scenario seemingly happens and we surely experience the same. We are changing our bets cause it something because we feel it but such feelings made us a loser. But I don't think this is so much regrettable and we have to remember this a game and someone could lose and win.

Correct answer because if did surely he will not change bet,and if the changed bet won again surely he will celebrate so there’s really nothing to regret as he gambles the money
That’s the problem about gamblers who’s not ready for the outcome always looking for something to blame just to make it cleaner
That’s what we called “scapegoat” when we actually expect to win but when lose telling it’s a mistake

Indeed thats why its gambling, we dont know the outcome and just trying our luck to win.

This is not new in gambling, its happening in most cases and quite normal.

If you dont want to have regrets of changing your bet then stick to your first bet so whatever happens its your decision.

This is quite a good suggestion. However, there are still instances where your guts are telling you something, like change your bet. But then, you still choose to stick on your first bet.

If you win with the one you choose initially, then good for you. But if you lost with that choice, and the one your gut was telling you about was the bet which won, surely there'll be regret.

The point is, regret will, somehow, always be present in gambling because you never really know what will the result be. With that said, the best thing to do is regret for a while but don't dwell in it. Move on as soon as possible. After all, there's nothing you can do about it anymore.

Sometimes Guts sometimes Instincts who tells us why we need changes in bets even how sure we are in the first one and that is human behavior
Better think that Whatever happen in your bets  either win or lose what’s important is this is your decision and you risk money to play and enjoy so crying won’t take effect of outcomes turns losing

I often experienced this where I feel regretful when I choose to change my first bet instead of staying on it. Now I always stick with my first bet because I don't want that to experience again and I will be more ok if I lose at least I put my bet on my first choice instead of changing it.

Sometimes there are some instances that we need to change our bet if we saw something wrong to the team that we choose to bet.
But once it is placed I think that it is not good to change it. Regretting was always there but instead of having some emotional stuff just move on and take this as your personal experienced and must have a lesson to learn that you won't let happen again.

Just focus on what you believed who the team will gonna win. Study first about the team you are going to pick before placing the bet. Hesitation and doubtful will lead you to possibly lose and might cause of regret.

This is quite true. I made a similar post on a topic where the OP was to choose his favoring team or the one which would win the game actually. Placing of bets should be quite circumstantial in the sense we have made a decision after intense reading on the various factors which will make us to win the gambling game. If we are not really sure of what is gonna happen or if we are favoring our team which doesn't see the limelight of winning the game, we are running towards a high factored loss for sure. The favorite team would be stronger but they won't never be always even on a game with literally more stronger team than them.

Either if the gambling takes place in the game of politics or either in the game of sports, we should study the various possibilities and ways before placing the bet on the team. If you have a very minimal study if would pave the road for the routine losses which we could encounter over the time. A gambler should always be net positive towards his bet on a team, if the bet is on a dice game it would be a luck based winning game.
