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?

I think the pain of taking a bet and losing it is more severe compared to the painful feeling of regret that comes from not risking the bets, this is because when you lose, you are at the point of two thing's which is emotional disappointment a d feelings of unlucky, and at the same time losing of your money which is double bad feelings.

But the point where the game you failed to bet on won, you only feel that you have missed a chance to make the winning, but you did not lose anything, so it much better.

in my opinion it is more about regretting taking risks and losing, sometimes players dare to take risks, the ratio is 90/10 where they bet with great risk but the clear defeat is certain to happen. and this is done because of the urge from the emotions that overflow in themselves, therefore players tend not to be able to accept when it ends in defeat.

besides that, players who take risks usually they really hope because they are in a state of despair of course I think this is natural if it makes you feel unable to accept defeat, but it shouldn't be like that. because the defeat that occurs must be something that can be accepted well.

The pain of taking the risk of betting and then losing we often experience it maybe in every gambling session we always take this risk right? Which in the end loses everything.

But regrets like you mentioned let alone changing your life from winning this is more painful because this regret will sometimes blame yourself why not bet.

For me, both are painful to feel. ;D

To me the most painful part will be the risk to lose because I hate losing my money. That is why I will find it so painful if I lose, but that of not taking the risk and it ending up a winning of a life-changing amount I will not regret because what ever belongs to you will always be yours. That is why I will not be sad or be in regret because I know even if I take the risk of not being lucky, I will not still win.
 
So to me is a simple situation here based on the belief I have so far in gambling and that have helped me for very long in life and will keep helping me no matter what because if you have the faith that what belongs to you will always be yours then you will find it hard to be depressed when ever you fall victim to regret. 

When you throw "life changing amount" in there, the regret of that will be higher. It will be more if you were all but ready to place the bet and for whatever reason did not.

This cannot be compared to the risk of losing, you will never be staking life changing amounts and the brain only factors in the amount staked during a loss and the potential winning if you do not play a game. The regret will stick around longer than the pain would.

Regret. I better do it an fail than wish I did it and won. Risk comes with a lot of learning, what does regret bring to the table ? Depression, sadness and other plethora of negative emotions. And please note, it is not just blind risk but a well thought out and calculated risk based off of thorough analysis. This calculated risk will serve as the background for the next betting experience. The most painful from my experience as a human being and gambler is regret.

I feel regret is the most painful when it comes to gambling. Before gambling a gambler has already decided that he may win or not win the bet. This is understandable as the pain only lasts for some time if he risks it and loses the bet but when he gives heed to his doubt and does not take the risk, he may feel so angry knowing that he would have won if he had bet.

Regret in general is more painful than risk and I can relate so well to it.

Before a gambler takes risk he already knows that it's a 50/50 thing but the percentage of losing is not always the same as winning percentages. As you already knows that it's a risk and you have decided to do it, when you lose you shouldn't regret it because if by chance you win you wouldn't have regretted it. However it's only when you did something mistakenly and it resulted to lose that you can regret because it's not done intentionally.
What pains me most is when I didn't something unknowingly and it result to lose, nothing pains me more than that.

Missing out a bet that could potentially making yourself changing your life in terms of financial status which i could say that this one could hurt you but you could really be that easily be able to move on.
Why? You would really be mainly thinking that or convince yourself that bet isnt really that for you and there might be some other plans on which you could really be able to hit up other thing.
Thats why on the moment that you do find  that you arent that been able to bet then you could also be thinking that you havent loss something but we cant really be able to deny that you would really be
thinking of it for sometime specially if the amount is something life changing then who would be the one couldnt really be thinking off that way? Everyone wants to get rich and missing out opportunity would really be giving out that pain and regret.

As for the pain on taking a risks and bet and then lose then its something a pain on which most gamblers do usually that been able to experience. They are the ones who would really be that definitely be having that kind of
continous cycle and what makes them become addicted gambler in the end because of too much chasing up those loses and this is something that must be avoided on the time that you do play gambling.
Easy to say though but it would really be that hard to be done. This is why its really that important that you should really know on what you are doing and dealing with so that you would be able to act accordingl.
The common mistake for most gamblers is that they do become that too desperate on the moment or time that do engage on gambling.

I will always choose to take a risk and lose than to regret taking the risk at all especially if at the end my indecisiveness will make me lose on a winning bet or streak. What makes me a man is my ability to face my fears. Most of the time, regrets are usually as a result of lack of taking decisions which turns out to be regrets. Instead of regretting, I'll rather face my fear than allow a game or a bet pass by and regret acting on it. That's how men are born and trained to live

regret
For me it will be a painful something for someone not to predict or stick any game that he want to gamble but after everything the game happened to be the winning one I think you will feel regret over it for you no to participate for such game what I know from this is that gambling is all about luck and opportunity so when you lack the opportunity you will not be able to win in gambling so therefore opportunity is the most important thing that I see that propell in gambling winning, so winning of gambling is not all about your prediction or your seriousness in gambling but it is all about your opportunity being achieved or obtain within a short time

Which ever ways, I’m glad you already know that both options are very painful as they both have to do with losses and this question might make a lot of people go contrary to their believe and claims of them gambling for just fun because at the end of the day, the actual fun in gambling lies in winning.

Personally I don’t enjoy regrets and try as mush as possible not to make regrets but rather learn from every thing that happens to me so in other words, I would say, I say lessons as blessings and not regretting over them.
Whatever the case be, I think the pains of not gambling or betting on a game especially when you had the option of betting on them and definitely could afford to lose it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In fact, in my opinion:
loss because taking risks > regret

Because, we do not only regret because of the loss situation, but also because we really exactly lose the money. So, double painful. :D

But, as long as we are ready for the risk, there should be no more pain.

If regret, it is just a feeling of regret, but the money is still in hand.

Risk is the most painful experience in gambling,  especially when one gambles with the money that can't be afford to lose. It is better to regret of not playing a game that is supposed to be win, I think still having your money with you is still a win because their was never a lose. No need to regret not playing a game that was supposed to be a win. The risk in gambling is always painful that is why it is better to always play with the money that you can afford to lose. The worse feeling that can happen to any gambler is loosing the money that he never expected to lose. Regretting of not playing a game won't cause much pains.

Gambling has both pain and regret especially when you bet and if you lose the bet you will definitely feel pain and you will be mentally broken because of the loss of your bet which is the traditional rule of gambling.
But if you don't get profit by gambling or you express regret if you don't bet you are different but you remember that most profit or loss in gambling depends entirely on luck.  Whether you participate in gambling and win the jackpot is something you will never regret because if you are lucky, you will definitely win the jackpot one way or the other.

The pain of regret.

When you take the risk and bet already, that feeling is there and it will be gone immediately. Whilst the pain of regret, you might think of it so many times that you can't even sleep thinking of it.

Or, if that's just par then it will also cause you not to sleep because you'd keep on thinking about it. But that's what I think, the pain of regret lasts longer.

Both can be painful. But you know what is more painful, the fact that you know you are capable to bet and may possibly win life changing profits, but you chose not to bet so you end up losing and regretting. Not taking the risk when you know you have all the chances to do it is like missing a big opportunity in your life that you know you won’t forget throughout your life. It’s okay to lose because that is inevitable in gambling but that’s never okay to lose when you know you are capable to win and make some profits.

Regret.
I like taking risks for one more shot or one more bet and then that's when I will go out. Sometimes when I am low on budget and my wallet is 10 - 20 rolls until it's depleted, I will take the risk and see if I can get lucky.
Regret on the other hand is difficult to swallow plus it will haunt you and could be your nightmare for a long time. In my opinion, risk is easier to forget than regret and I would just always pick to take the risk than regret it later. Without risk, we won't go anywhere and that's the same with life, not just gambling.

This is a very basic answer!
On which answer you lost money? It's on the risk. While on regret, you didn't put any money you, you will just found guilty from your self on not betting on it but you didn't lose money at all.
To make up your guilty from your self, just think positive and there is always a lot of opportunity to bet again and make that regret not happen again.

Going through a losing bet will always be more painful for me, even though it's usually easy to brush off one's losses and move on there are a few bad losses that I can always recall.

If I missed out on a life-changing bet, i'd only regret it for maybe a day at most and forget like it didn't happen because it's always easy to assume that you could be in that situation.

Or maybe it's because i've experienced a similar situation back then, but i'd still treat it the same regardless of the winnings.

but is the opportunity to win a sum of money that can even change your life guaranteed to be obtained? we know that winning in gambling is not certain, let alone winning a sum of money that can change your life (a large amount) but with a small win it is sometimes difficult to get. regret for having done or whatever it is can be forgotten but in my opinion what is clear is that there is no point in regretting something that has happened especially in betting like this it will not change the situation for the better.
I don't think to regret anything, including failing to win big money / money that changes your life. we have to keep thinking ahead because there is no point in remembering it, although maybe occasionally remembering it but don't let it make us want to take revenge and make us bet blindly again. so in my opinion it is better not to waste time regretting it because it can trigger our own feelings and can make us lose control of ourselves. do gambling properly then everything will be fine.

Regret I'd say. Risks is something normal for us really, same with losses. I wouldn't call you a gambler if you haven't lost jack in gambling imo. I'd call you lucky, I wouldn't call you a gambler. But anyway, risk is inherently part of gambling, so a LOT more normal. Regret though, on the other hand, is us avoiding risks, meaning we avoid it because of something. And there's only a couple of instances I'd say where we'd avoid risks in gambling in the first place since it's an activity that involves risk itself, so if I missed a big win because of that then I'd sure as hell regret that.

But well I'd say the level of rewards in the first place is uneven? I mean one side has idk, nothing and the other has a life-changing amount. Ofc I'd regret the one that would change my life.

The regret of not taking a risk is very painful, because many people will agree with me when I say: Failing to make money is almost the same thing as losing it, because if you had risked it, that money would have been yours, but because of a lack of courage, now you lost it. him to someone else who was probably more persistent than you.

However, the pain of losing money is also equally bad.

So, what changes one from the other and is it necessary to “break the tie” on this issue?
Well... as long as you still have money, you can always bet again and have the chance to win again, but if you lose... you won't have another chance.
Therefore, I prefer to be cautious and stay with the pain of regret.

regretting the mistakes that have occurred, maybe it can be forgotten over time, and I think all of us must have other activities that can set aside the regrets that have occurred. discussing risk, gambling is indeed a game that involves risk or is indeed a risky game, and regret is a natural thing to happen because there is money lost or others. I think these two things are interrelated, when we gamble like taking risks even though it is not recommended but the results tend to be disappointing and that can make us regret doing it.

what must be considered is that regret here is useless, in fact I think not only in gambling but there are also other things outside of gambling that if regretted will not change the situation for the better.
but when faced with these two choices I think regret for taking a big risk is the most painful thing, because if with the pain of regret not betting which eventually becomes the choice of victory, the amount that changes life may not be certain. while by taking risks it is clear that we fully hope that the actions taken can result in victory.

I think the most painful part for me is taking the risk of betting and eventually losing because we will lose our money and become very upset there are times when we also regret taking the bet but this is a risk that we must take.
But if we miss the opportunity to get profit I think it is not too painful and I do not regret it too much because I know that things like that often happen among gamblers because it is not their time to get lucky.

Now, this is a good question! But I guess it's more painful not taking the winning bet than risking the bet and losing. I think this where the saying “It's better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done.” Although this isn't absolute, it may be right when it comes to gambling.

But there are other factors that matter also like when I've already won so much I probably won't regret not betting more even if I could have won it. Or if I have been losing one bet after another but since I believe it's more painful not to take the risk than taking it, I bet the last money that is supposed to be for something else and lost. That would be foolish.

For me it's regretting not to take that risk and then seeing that your supposedly bet eventually won. So it's going to be a big psychological impact on me, as I could have won big already and definitely, there are a lot of what if in your mind.

As compare to taking that risk on a bet and lose, as we all know that once you put your bet, most likely that at the back of your mind, it could end on a big L. And probably you ca live your bet losing, as least you take that big risk on the unknown, but it just didn't work on your end.

Losing and regretting that I have bet I guess is the most painful part. It's a combination of frustration that we can all get and that's the reality. Whether we like it or not, if we're going to analyze each of our situations. The painful part always gets there at the end of our actions. So, regret is always at the end and we realize that betting at the wrong teams and players that we're following and suddenly we lose, that's both painful.

What others are trying to do with this kind of frustration is to recover the losses as soon as possible. But do we think that it's the right thing to do? I don't think so. Chasing our losses still going to give us a mistake that taking risk is still part of it and then if you don't become successful, you know what's next that is coming.

It varies to the situation but both of them are painful. Our actions also depends to our emotions and we can mitigate the impact of these through our minds and how acceptable it is based on how we deal with these frustrations.

There are many nuances in this dilemma that affect our feelings. Much depends on what kind of risk we take - a reasonable one and the prospect of winning is very high or a stupid risk and winning is practically unattainable. This is a very big difference and, by the way, this is quite common in practice. Sometimes if we do not take risks, we lose the opportunity to conduct a very valuable experiment and enrich our experience, which will be useful to us in the future. And if we take a risk and fail, we will simply pay for our experience.

I would consider regretting more impactful than just the risk I took because regret lasts a long time. I think it has a long-term effect on yourself, knowing that you can be affected by it mentally. It might lead you to different things, like more gambling or possible financial issues because you want to remove that regret.

It can be quite unfortunate sometimes when you take risk on gambling and yet lose your money in the cost or sake of chasing the goodie bags, yet there are times too when you later regret why we didn't take the risk at the first place. But the truth of the matter is that human are always afraid of loss and when they discovered that Afterall what they where afraid of play out to be good they regret, then you will hear them shout oooohh...holy shit.. I saw it coming but I was not confident to proof it. And what cause this is Self doubt. But what I can say is that no matter how a game appears to be real or not we should just gamble with what we can afford to lose, because the most trusted games usually loses, and those are always stakes higher. and the wining game usually are staked with little fund, let's not forget that.

However, even though everything will give pain and regret, there is still one thing that is most unacceptable and can really make gamblers always remember the pain and that is failure because they did not take bet that ultimately became big win.
If lose, it only about money and everyone can still work or do business to be able to make some money again, but very good opportunity and chance to be able to win will not be easy to get.
Even if it is an opportunity or chance that can change life, it could be pain that will never be forgotten in entire life.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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...

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Seems like if you risk you don't have to risk everything so you wouldn't regret taking a gamble if you didn't lose everything. Obviously on the other hand, you might regret not betting everything if the bet wins, but you would regret everything if the bet loses and you bet it all. IMO better to play it safe and only risk a portion of your bankroll on a bet and give yourself a chance to recover if you hit a loser. Rome wasn't built in a day my friend.

I guess the regrets is more painful to the gambler since in that situation they are not really sure with those actions or decision they are doing then if they lose everything for sure that they heavily feel bad on the situations they choose and they might blame their selves or someone on why they are in miserable situation.

Compare on situation where they know the risk and can accept the consequences of the action they have done, then in this situation for sure a gambler can easily move on on their losses and think about trying their luck next on next time they gamble.

Regret will make you miserable so never take a risk that will leads to regret. And I don't think we will feel the pain while taking risks, it's mostly adrenaline rush that is not a painful event unless you can explain or give any scenario that makes it as a painful event.

Regret will do nothing but it's cruel so not just in gambling, in your entire life think twice or thrice or as much as you want because once we are into the hole there is no coming back which can be positive or negative outcome but will never be the same.

This feeling is very similar to FOMO in investing, when a trader or investor wanted to invest, but did not dare, and then regrets it when the token flies into the sky. But this is a bad feeling. I believe that if someone decided not to invest or not to make a bet, then in his head common sense overcame the arguments that the bet should be made. And you should not regret this, changing your decision after knowing the result.

In my opinion the pain for taking a risk and losing money you shouldn't lose is the worst thing which can happen to a gambler, because it will bring negative consequences on other aspects of his life, while the pain for regretting not have placed a bet won't imply any further negative consequences for the gambler. It means he didn't lose anything, he just didn't win. Therefore, his finances won't get out of control, his family won't get mad on him, he won't feel stressed trying to find alternatives on how to recover the money.

We regret for not having done things all the time. But it's the things we have done and went wrong that we most regret about...

If i were to compared the pain of taking a risk and losing and the regret of not placing a gamble that ultimately wins, the regret often appears more painful and lasting there lasts The immediate pain of a gambling loss is tangible, with direct consequences such as financial loss and emotional distress . Such pain is perceived in real time and is generally easily managed through coping strategies. Regret is different, stems from the emotional distress of missing a potentially life-changing opportunity. This pain is largely abstract, and involves constant self-deprecation and what happens as a consequence that replays in the gambler’s psyche. As far as i know, continuous prestige can be especially dissatisfying and cause deep emotional turmoil if the failed bet was perceived as an especially obvious or rewarding one. So even though the pain of a losing bet inside is great, and glory if they do not gamble potentially profitable may be consistent and mentally taxing, it is important to acknowledge that you do not have it all and it covers your well-being. Use your experiences to learn and make better decisions from them in the future.

The feeling of regret is terrible especially when the outcome is actually in your favor but due to hesitation and doubt you didn't take the chance. This can put you in quite a depressive state for some time knowing that you had an opportunity but you didn't take it
But one thing you must learn to do is to move on and stop blaming yourself because at the end of the day it's gambling, anything could have happened. Having feeling of regrets made me do the mistake of revenge gambling several times trying to get back the opportunities I missed but it doesn't always work out

I don't think that risk is painful at all. Many gamblers seek that feeling of uncertainty as it produces an adrenaline rush.

Personally, I like risk. I like excitement that it brings to the table. I like feeling confident in my bet and at the same time knowing that if I lose it's just dust money that I can throw away without feeling bad the next day. The real pain is regret when you wake up and it weighs you down hours or days after you've gambled it away. That constant depression is the worst thing.

I think these two are tied together.

A gambler might be lured to take risks too large and eventually end up regretting these because it's impossible that the odds are always in your favor.
So I think people facing the issue of regret and are anxious about taking risks should really consider some management techniques. Afterall if gambling which should be nothing more than a hobby is hurting you in any way, it's not too bad to take a break.

So in conclusion I'd say both issues could be a problem from anyone, even combined. But If it happens to often consider it deeply and try seek solutions for yourself.

Everything associated with losing hurts a gambler; if it's a life-changing amount and you fail to bet on it, it will cause you a lot of pain because it's so hard to win a life-changing amount; every gambler is looking for that elusive win.
I have not encountered that, but I will blame myself for the rest of my life if I do. Hopefully, it will not happen to me because it would be like a dream shattered for me, and I find it hard to take it.

I'm not someone who takes major risks in gambling or has a great budget that can afford to place bets that are going to be life-changing. With that being said, I'm not expecting to suddenly earn a large sum of money through gambling; thus, risk-taking isn't that big of a deal. I'd rather place the bet and lose anywhere from $20 to $50, depending on what I'm betting on, than regret not risking it in the first place. I had a fair share of matches during the Euro 2024 championship in which I didn't participate, and had I done it, I would have won most of those.

Why will one allow his regrets to way him down because he didn't place his bet on the game. I believe we are different and have different ways of seeing things and handling issues. Personally, I will not feel that bad, but I will encourage myself that I can win some other time. I have seen many gamblers including myself that this happened to. It is not of one's doing to know if he will win a game or not.

I could remember some bets I could have taken that would have given a very huge profits but I was ignorant on what the result would be. I have learnt from many of my mistakes of take things the way they are and I don't have to force things to happen or force a particular result to come us. There are so many gamblers that had regretted not taking a particular bets which would have ended up in a win. Winning gambling is all about mindset and I am very aware of that. I go for betting and I don accept the outcome without blaming anyone for my loses if things go the opposite way. There are times when we are going to be making profits but when the time to lose comes, we don't have to blame anyone because things comes in different phases.

Finally, it will be true that gambling has both risks and regret and gambling must be managed through these. Just as there is a chance of winning in betting, there is also a chance of losing. There will be risk and regret in gambling especially when a big reward is missed. It is a part of gambling. Those who keep these things in mind will increase regrets that will prevent them from properly reviewing bets. The more these things are thought about in gambling, the more regrets will grow. Therefore, a gambler should manage his gambling without giving importance to the outcome of any particular bet, but rather with an eye towards making the best use of the opportunities.

The first thing we don't know is what will be the result. So risk is always there and I will also say that you can also have regret in both case for example you win bet but in lower amount this can be a regret why you don't bet with higher roll and on the others hand you can be also in regret if you lose the bet with high roll.

But in my case actually, I don't take it that much seriously as usual I play sports betting most of the I won't say that I haven't faced it but I think it would be better if you take it for fun so there will be only fun, entertainment no regret and no more high risk.

I think there is a significant difference between the two situations.
First, when you bet a large amount in the sense that the amount exceeds your ability, it means that you lose all the money you bet, and when you regret not betting because you are hesitant about a choice which in the end turns out that the choice actually results in a win, meaning that your prediction was correct and you would have won if you had bet before.

From the two situations, I think it is quite easy to compare which is worse, it is very clear that experiencing a large loss is much worse because you lose money and it also causes regret, but when you don't bet at all, it means that you only experience regret, you don't lose money but you only lose opportunities.

Seriously, the two will be very painful because I already had experience with them, but the amount that I am supposed to win isn’t a life changing amount. But the one that has happened to me which pained me was taking a risk, and I ended up losing. I do end up blaming myself for the decision I took, I shouldn’t have just placed the bet.
 
But just as you said, if the amount I am supposed to win is a life changing amount, then that’s really going to be painful to me because I will never forget the event, and I might never have that kind of opportunity again. But if the amount isn’t really much, it’s not really going to be painful because it has happened to me multiple times before.

Managing your emotions will really be that crucial on which we know that on the moment or time that you do find yourself on having that kind of reaction on the time that you are making up some regrets
on where you had become yourself that impulsive and betting like a madman on next gambling session then it do really shows that you dont have that good control toward self. This is why its re ally that important that you should really know on what you are doing so that on the moment that you do find yourself having those kind of regret feeling then you could really just that simply move on and find for another situation
but of course on not into that desperate manner or condition. People do usually changed up their mindset and mood on the time that they do become that desperate on which this is something that not recommended.

Never ever make  yourself that trying to chase up loses or making those huge big bets or going all in just because you are trying to cope up on what you had missed.
There are really indeed moments that there would be some inner voices on which you would really be wanting on betting on something but ending up on missing it out because
you have doubts. You would be telling that it is really that a good call if it was a lose but if its a win then it will really be normally giving out that kind of regret.

In my opinion, it hurts more when people bet and lose, because they put some effort into it when they analyze the game and put money in, so when they look at the result of the game and see a loss, it leaves people feeling frustrated, they start thinking about the time they lost when they were analyzing the game, they start thinking about the money they lost, especially when they are faced with a multibet bet that could change their life, they got most of the games right, but lost in the last game. Man, this makes people very angry, there are few people who can stay calm and accept this type of defeat, without crying or complaining constantly.

Psychological gambling goes beyond cards and dice. Gambling plays on our reward-driven brains. You know that win rush? Thats your happy brain dancing. That same haste can lead to unwise decisions, chasing losses, and trying to cure things with another bet.

Gambling isnt entirely evil. Quite the contrary. Any game requires learning the rules, managing your emotions, and comprehending the odds. No doubt, the home has an advantage. Thus, you must outwit the game.

Where discipline comes in. Maintain limitations. Give up pursuing losses. You control gambling, not vice versa. Just a game. Its not yourlife or worth. You're larger.

Lets finish with winning. Great and enjoyable, but short-lived. Dont overthink it. Dont let defeat demoralize you. A gaming element. Gain knowledge, move on.

There is definitely regret when the bet with a low amount and large odds is won, when the bet with a high amount loses this is even more regretful both have the same risk in gambling if considered regret.
Both of these I have felt before in sports betting.

I always think that the risk in gambling is always there if we take it seriously, it will become a regret in your life, especially gambling not for pleasure but seeing this profit in my opinion is something excessive.
The important thing is that we know about the risks if you regret it just think that you are unlucky in making bets.

In the first part it is that they have taken the risk, gambled and they have lost and the pain is real.
The second part they have not taken the risk, they have not gambled but now it is only in the mind that if they have gambled they would have won. The pain is only in the thoughts and they have not lost any amount.

So if we are to consider only these two options then of course the gambler will feel more pain in which he actually lost the money. However in ideal situation, the gambler should understand that winning and losing is a part of the game and he should not regret on losing.

Both incidents are actually very painful, especially when you stake a huge amount on a bet and you lose it, and also when you fail to stake on a game that would have earned you a huge win. There was a game I forgot to stake on, but luckily it played according to my prediction. I actually felt bad that day, and I believe if I had also lost a huge amount that I didn't intend to lose in gambling, it's still going to make me feel bad. 

I think everyones view of this is based on their personal experiences in gambling, for me I would say that the pain of regret is far worse due to the opportunities I have Missed. I can remember a particular day I was on aviator, after losing a lot of money I was contemplating on playing the next round but I decided to leave it , that round ended up to have ×3500 odds. It was really hard to forget about what happened that day, the feeling of regret is actually a waste of time , it's best to get your mind off it

In my own point of view I will say that what's the purpose of gambling ? Isn't it the entertainment?
Now if any person get trapped in greed and he take gambling for money making then they will always wants to take high risk for high profit and most of the cases they lose their all his fund and fall in huge dept also.

So when you play gambling for high profit and as well as taking high risk and regretting then where is the fun ? we should take it for fun purposes behave and control our self to not fall in greed also.

IMO when we already know about the risks of gambling then there will be no such thing as regret because it is a silly thing to do. They understand the consequences and risks when gambling but they still regret it when they lose? That would not make sense because it indicates that they do not know the consequences and do not know about the risks that must be obtained.

Gambling must be realized that the probability of losing is greater than winning so we must be prepared for the defeat so that there is no regret in us when we finish gambling.  If in the end there are still regrets then from the beginning they should understand that gambling is not something they should do but when they are still gambling then that is a sign that they must be prepared for such defeat.

There are so many missed opportunities that it is not worth thinking about them, or at least not thinking about them in a negative way. For example, today I forgot to bet on City (win in normal time) and it actually saved my money as City could only win on penalties. There is nothing wrong with reflecting on your luck in such cases.
As for the games that you forgot about but would have brought you profit if you had bet on them, it is better not to think about it, after all, most of us did not buy Bitcoin for 10-100 dollars, but it could have brought hundreds of millions.

For me it is better to take the risk and prepare for the pains in the case of loss and maximize the excitement that comes with winning if it ends up as winning, normally it is a one way thing which one most surely be the outcome which is either winning or Lossing. But however,at most times I usually say that let excitement of winning a bet be greater than the fear of losing considering the fact that it is also risky most times not taken a risk, whichever it is it should be the amount we can afford to lose that is being used to a avoid much of the regrets and emotional trauma.

It will be way more healthier and better if gamblers begin to think in probability than they think in possiblity or certainty whenever they are gambling because thinking with certainty most of the times gets gamblers loosing heavily and they blame it up on them not been lucky, or their skills failing them and all other taughts but the most common has been in the odds not favouring them.

I understand the fact that people really do get angry and disappointed when they loose bet, even myself I have been a victim of same, I lost games where I then have to just let go and convince my self nothing happened but since I started thinking in probability, it has helped me a whole lot when it has to do with accepting my losses.

As humans we always think about what we can do and we are able to perceive what to do, but it is painful when we bet a lot and do not win, I think that all this gambling is based on how random any play can be, taking into consideration the house advantage, that is something we cannot forget, however when we think about what we did not do and if we could, we do not have to give energy to that, we must always see that the game will give us another opportunity, we just have to know how to wait for it.

The question you bring forward is something that scientists have studied for some time, and it is known that the regret felt by losing 100 dollars is much higher than the joy of winning the same amount, however your example is not really comparable at all, as the amount you are talking about in the case of a win is a life-changing one, while you make no mention about the loss being of the same magnitude, and in that case it should be obvious that not taking that bet will be way more painful.

If the question is which is the most painful, for me betting with a high level of risk and losing is much more painful than experiencing regret when you see that the prediction you did not execute actually resulted in a win.

See that there are two significant differences in both situations, when you bet with high risk and it turns out you lose then that means you lose all the money you bet, while when you do not participate in the bet or do not execute the choice you have made for some reason then when it turns out you see that the result is your choice is correct then that means you have not lost anything right? clear.

In gambling what we have to pay attention to is the risk, going home without experiencing any loss is always much better than losing money, remember that opportunities will always be there, you can bet on another opportunity when you feel confident.

Actually the fear of losing money is painful for everyone so for me the risk part is fear because I don't like losing money at all. However even if you place a bet, you lose, but if you want to start life changing levels, you have to play with risk. Also after losing i think i  be sad or regret it because i know if i wasn't lucky i didn't win. But i never want to bet for a long time because it is stupid to bet where my luck is losing repeatedly.

Hmmm, personally I think its the regret from not taking a bet. At least from a bet that you lose you have a chance to come back from that and you learn a lesson perhaps. But when you could have made a bet that you didn't and see how you would have got if you did place that bet is pure regret. It brings taking action into perspective but also makes you more detail oriented and decisive in the future.

It's not very easy to move on from the pain of losses but time will eventually ease the pain but missing out on opportunities like you said can mess with your head for a long time, missing out on life changing opportunities isn't easy to get over but the thing is you shouldn't always blame yourself because there's a slim chance that the outcome would have been different... people tend to lose a lot of money trying to make up for the opportunities they lost which is absolutely a wrong mental approach in gambling

It is more painful if we take risky actions but end up losing and that is the real impact in gambling, yes, we as gamblers will never know the final result of the game, whether we lose or win, we have to accept it.
However, if we talk about taking risks and finally losing, it sounds very painful, we are willing to sacrifice by risking the money we have and instead of winning, but what can we do, we accept defeat, we will definitely feel regret and sadness and for novice gamblers this kind of experience can make them depressed, but for experienced gamblers this kind of thing is common and common.

Very regrettable something, sometimes when your First predictions comes out to be the winning bet and your other addictions now brought you down to lose the entire games, although risk sometimes pays and when it does, the best we can do is to be thankful and happy for that, but if we did lose, then it means we need to bear the pain and move on and next time we do and take such risk with causion to avoid such outcome even though we can't totally avoid loses in gambling since loses is part of gambling and the way casino makes they own revenue to continue with they operations.

Yea, one can only end up to regret if they miss a very big opportunity that would have been profitable to them, but if the opportunity passes them by, there is nothing that can be done, so they just have to move on. Just like the experience you had too, sometimes we should be very thankful that we actually missed to risk our money in some games that would have resulted to lose.

Sometimes we only remember something that makes us regret because we missed the opportunity that came to us, but we forget that we have missed a lot while it is indeed right to do because even if we enter the gambling we will lose. This is a human nature that will not be lost because this is a natural trait that everyone has. And not many people realize things like this because they are too focused on the benefits they missed. If we think about it as a whole (not just thinking about the benefits that were missed) then we will be more accepting of ourselves, and I think we will be more grateful than complaining and regretting. This is actually a simple thing that we can realize, but it is indeed ambition that makes us forget small things like this, even though it will actually make us more comfortable because it turns out that we can feel that it is indirectly beneficial to us (although not in the form of victory).

Yes you are right, maybe because of the influence of greed that will have a bad impact in the future, such as knowing that it will be risky, still continuing and betting and all there is is regret due to the defeat that will be received.
Of course as a gambler, good or bad results cannot be avoided easily, but what we can do is minimize it early on so that it does not have a very high impact by being careful every time you act in gambling as you said.

Gambling is associated with risk, to win we must take risks and of course there will be losses, and also there will be victories. We will be able to take advantage of opportunities when we learn not to give in to emotions too much during losses. We need to learn to accept them as part of the gambling process, and opportunities will always be there, the most important thing is not to dwell on old losses, but to think about future victories. Nothing changes, it worked like this before and will work like this in the future, there is not a single player who could only win, I think this does not happen.

The regret would have been meaningful if that was the end of gambling in the world. Gamblers regret the past to fail again in future. The opportunity they thought was lost awaits them on the next game, but their past losses won't let them notice a new chance.

I've experienced this countless times and it doesn't bother me much, because nothing was lost. I see such regret as a sign of greed, it's irrelevant to assume you would've won a game you didn't wager money on. The issue would have been better if the player staked money on the game.

There wouldn't be really much reason for justification perhaps it is gambling and no one is sure of or guarantee of having the expected outcome, two things are always involved in gambling it is either you win or loss but however, @ the op narrative is very obvious that it is nothing but greedy that lead in to additional of more games to the original games he gave his friend which resulted to his loss while his friend won, it could only be greed just for him to probably have more potential winning than that of his friend but he fell out of luck and that is gambling for you. Something what we seem to be rightly done becomes a mistake and what seems to wrongly done becomes right.

Regret will be always be more powerful than any other negative feeling, in my opinion , specially when  comes to gambling.
It can be very disturbing for the average gamblers to be in a situation they could have changed their life with a huge amount of money, but decided not to participate, in consequence other person hit the jackpot. it is different from gambling and losing money there can be some regret on it l, because we know how much money we already lost to our bad luck. But it is completely different when someone was about to hitjackpot and decided to withdraw before it happens.
It is the kind of regret it could send someone into a further gambling rampage / revenge gambling and require professional help from psychologists in the worst of the cases.

We do know that people do really easily moved on on the time that they would really be forgetting that kind of frustration on which it would really be something understandable
since there are actually those people who could be able to move on easily and do the other thing again and again until they would literally wont be able to play on the time that they dont have money.
In comparing about regret and having that disappointment of loss or missing out that kind of bet because you have been scared or hesitated but turned out that it was a win then regret is something that will really be staying on your mind for a while and this is something that you should really be that making yourself trying out to control because on the time or moment that you will really be making
yourself that thinking up always about it then it would really be pushing you to play further until you have lost it all on which this is really that a disaster if this happens.

When you bet and then lose or when you don't bet but in fact if you bet then you win, I think that's part of the risk and part of the regret.Because I think these two aspects of gambling are inseparable. Indeed, we can say that losing is a risk but anyway, at the same time we also certainly experience  regret because we also expect to get a win.

Thus, I personally find it difficult to separate or distinguish between risk and regret. But maybe,for those who have a strong personality and only gamble for  fun, then maybe they will not experience regret, because they also do not prioritize winning but rather prioritize fun or entertainment in gambling. Perhaps,this is also a difference in cases like this.

Both can end in regret, one losing money and one not.

But for me personally it is better to lose money for taking risks, because it is a form of courage to try luck than not at all even though it ends in defeat, this is common for me as a gambler who feels wrong, but not a few experiments can really produce big results by taking risks, while if you don't take risks it will definitely get nothing, only the money is safe, neither increases nor decreases and I say it's a coward who doesn't take risks.

It is a fact, we or any player will always look for victory, it is true that many handle defeat in their own way, some reflect and decide not to play again, others come back with much more care, some fall into addiction, but I consider that to avoid all these types of things, we must start from the most basic  , and that is that the casino is a company, a business and that they need to make money, for some reason it is the most profitable business of all, if that is clear, every time you lose there will not be so much regret, but wisdom, because you know what you are getting into and what you are risking.

Well that last statement a coward is someone who does not take risk has many comments and it can not be that dry as a statement and although I agree with it nowadays it is better to not take risks as casinos surely have changed or moved something in their RTP.This is from my personal experience which I have been bold and I have been increasing my bet incrementally until I lost all,that is a new pattern now in slot machines,you raise your bet and the money goes down faster and don't tell me that you may hit it big cause I and many others simply won't anymore.That is why for me now being a "coward" translates in having more money in my pocket and since the start of this week I have not gambled a single cent after losing dramatically as I said last week.

Regret is the most painful. When we are winning at gambling or we have a big gambling budget, we also take big risks much easier. But when we lose we regret which gives us a lot of pain. Then regret that we should not have done it.  It is natural to have regret in gambling because the gambling algorithm is designed to always trap us in the flames of regret, greed and emotion. This is why we come back to gambling again and again. And they make us forget about our previous losses. your control is in your hands, just be careful and make the right decisions.

That's true, one of the worst things you can feel is regretting not doing something... I don't regret anything I've done, only the things I couldn't do either because I didn't want to or because I didn't have the courage to do them. Besides, I think it's a human thing, because sometimes deciding at the time is very difficult, but after it's happened it's easy to question why we didn't do it at the time...

I agree with this, gambling itself is about risks so it's not something that's new to any gambler because that's what we do on a daily basis when we stake, it hurts when we lose but we are able to move on after a short while but regrets on the other hand is entirely different it you would continually beat yourself up for not taking risk that would have probably elevated you financially...the feeling of risking and losing is nothing compared to this

Results and outcomes would really be that different into each other and this is why it wouldnt really be shocking that there would really be those instances that we would really be missing out those kind of moments that on the time that our guts or human instinct telling us that we shouldnt really be betting a particular moment then we would neither be doing against it or would be following it. It all matters into someones choice in regarding into their actions on which it would really be that might end up on something that brings out that regret or would really be that definitely just the right call?
It would really be that so hard to make up decisions but of course we would really be needing up to choose whether we should pass or would really be pursuing on doing it. It is true that having those kind of regret on missing out those wins will really be that something haunting and cant easily be forgotten which is unlike when dealing up with loses on which you could easily moved on because you are
getting used to it.

I can't think of many ways the situation of risk or regret comes in gambling. Most people regret on betting rather than not betting. There certainly are more profit on higher risk but if you won't have large regret on missing one as there would be plenty others coming. In most form of betting you don't know for sure what the result would be and in most case specially in sports betting, there are no life changing bets. The largest win one can make is from lotteries but you don't regret for not buying the lottery.

The only place I find regret in not betting is folding my good cards against a bluffer in poker, on the times they show their cards.

Both are difficult choices.

the first you take the risk and lose the second you regret not taking the risk that in the end the choice you made wins, for my rationality that is still conscious of course I prefer the choice of regret for not taking the risk even though my choice is correct, but my money is still there and I can try another time than I take the risk but lose.

This is just a play on words from you OP. LOL

I heard an expression that I sometimes use not only in gambling, but also in life situations. If you want to do something, do it, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life and the result will be unknown to you. Moreover, if you don’t do it, we will never know the result. But if you do it, we will know the result, although it may be sad. I even have a friend who decided not to leave his old wife for a new one, and now he constantly tells me how he regrets it for years. Probably, there are similar things in gambling.

Most players follow the opposite of your idea. They think the casino is open for charity business. Regrets causes more pain to a player than losses. And lack of details puts some players on the line of regretting a game they can't control. Instead of regretting they should buckle up and learn more gambling details to avoid hurting their feelings.

Yes, gamblers should know and realize this, in the sense of understanding that gambling is about risk, not only about winning but also about the risk of losing, and one of the reasons why this knowledge and awareness must be possessed by gamblers is because no matter what and whenever, risk will always be part of the game, and when we experience defeat, there will be no other way we can do but accept it.

And we can see that there are always some gamblers who still experience significant emotions, disappointments and regrets but they still continue the habit, which means that they most likely do not really understand and realize that the idea of ​​"defeat is part of the game" is a fact that can never be denied.
On the other hand, from the two situations mentioned by the OP between the pain of experiencing a big defeat and the regret of not taking risks, I think it is much worse when you lose something, because losing an opportunity will only end in regret but not end in losing something you have.

By the way, today I planned to bet on Real (with or without a handicap, I was not completely sure) but I did not have time to do it either. I had almost no doubt that Real would win (it is impossible for two favorites to consistently perform below expectations). So today I can regret the missed opportunity but now is the very beginning of the season so I will go on knowing that there are a lot of opportunities ahead.

Looking at it from the angle you explained it from, I see some sense in it, as regret creates room for you to try again next time. Why risk don't give you that chance? But then again, regrets are more painful to me than taking the risk and failing.
 
I just don't like regretting my actions, that's just it, and you also know that if one doesn't take any risk at all, there won't be any chance of meeting a better chance or opportunity of winning?, and losing can set you on the right path.

The problem lies in the sentence used, where we take risks but we already know we will lose, of course you need to think well, how can you take risks that you know you will lose.

The sentence becomes irrational, because the OP has described where the end of the risk you will take is a defeat, try to absorb the sentence again very well.

As gamblers we forget that it's not all about taking risks but taking calculated or responsible risks in as much as regret is more painful, losing a certain amount of money can also distabilize your emotions...it's best to always take those responsible risks so if it goes in your direction you wouldn't end up regretting.. another wrong approach gamblers have is regretting the amount of staked used to gamble when it plays out, no matter how small the stake was remember that anything would have happened, so instead of regretting just withdraw whatever you have

I think that now people should give a lot of importance to their money , and take care of it and know how to take it on the right path, do not start Inventing, some wonder how to stop? How to do it? Well simple, you have to have a balance willing to lose , because when you Know that we are risking we will know how much we will lose, and not be surprised that we lost money that we should not have lost, that is what causes problems in people, when they can not control themselves and that is when the Path to addiction Begins.

Risk or regret? I mean if you play a gamble that is basically you take a risk because that involves money and sometimes if you lose it feel a little bit hurt, and after that you are gonna regret but all of this is just part of gambling itself.

What if you win than you probably not gonna regret it all. Back couple month ago I just bet 8 USD to buy some memecoin and it turned into 200 USD in a week from there I just feel regret to not buy with a lot of money but after I tried again in different memecoin i just loses it all.

Yea, in sports games, if you miss an opportunity, you must not kill yourself for it because there would still come another game that can really play according to your prediction if you still stake on it. Sometimes one could still risk a certain amount in some bet and still lose it. That's when they will start to regret why they had to risk such an amount, and if it's in a situation where they also did not stake in the game and it played as they must have predicted, they will still regret why they never played the game. Human being is not usually satisfied with any result that they get; if they knew, they could have gotten more. 

Both have risks. That includes investing in those meme coins and I think they are higher risk than it is with gambling because of the chance of a rug pull or a scam.

But let's not go too far because this is about gambling. I think without taking that risk then no one is going to win. Well, regret comes after that risk but as you said, what if a gambler wins?
The next step will be the bigger question. Are we ready to take more risk by gambling our profit or are we going to walk out and just go away from gambling forever? I think this is where it goes wrong when gamblers think they are lucky and end up losing everything instead of withdrawing. That's where most regrets come from, the one bad decision.

Yeah, they two end up at the same point of each other ;D Uroboros of sorts.

Every decisions do be made on which neither it could be done online or offline then anything would really be coming having its risks on which it would really be just that normal that loses would really be there. Basing up into the condition that you are on then it would really be that considered to be having some dealing up with meme coins then it would really be up to you. The main key on here is that you should really know on how
risks involved and would really be acting out immediately on how you would really be gonna dealing on with. There are really that those moments that we cant really be able to resist on making up some bets
even we do know that it is really just that too risky but it is really that preferrable that you would really be that dealing on something which is less.

Taking up some risks just because you do believe that it would really be that having those chances on which this one couldnt really be giving out that kind of regret
on which it is really that compared into those someone who didnt able to force on making up a bet because they dont want to experience negative things first and
decided on stopping on which its not really that a had example that can be applied in real life.

This is really a hard truth of our nature that human being are not usually satisfied with any result that they get they bigger they earn and more they want in their life. And if you notice that that is also a reason for people are  being unsuccessful in life. And if talking about the gambling then it's all about the guy self control, I have seen lots of people who win the jackpot but the human being they aren't satisfied with that and that is why they take more stake on that and the end result they loose his jackpot for the greed. so some times it is also better to not take risk.

The truth of the matter is that Gamblers are confused most time since they can't see the future of gambling prediction and what it entails, otherwise nobody will have made mistake. But since no one is an island of knowledge in gambling or can predict the future results of matches, then they must stick to a strategy that is best for them without over spending, which is just mixing up playing with small or big amounts when there is need for it according to how the Mind.

After I experienced something that I think really hit me, I think we shouldn't take risks in gambling, sometimes there are people who think about betting bigger so that the winnings are bigger, that's true but if you think about it again, the winnings in gambling depend on luck so it doesn't guarantee that when using a large bet amount you will be able to win, now if they have luck on their side but use a small bet amount, a big win or jackpot or maxxwin can happen even though there are limits maybe.

not feeling satisfied with what has been obtained is indeed an event that is certain to happen, especially when they think that they can still get more than what they have, but when they experience defeat, not only regret will happen but emotions will also arise and make them lose control of themselves. the victory that is difficult to get in gambling should be used well so as not to regret it in the end, unless you are ready to lose including the victory that has been obtained previously.

When gamblers realizes that they can't see the future from their prediction, they don't have to spend too much money because that can makes them lose. If they care with their money, they will only use the money they can afford to playing gambling and have fun in gambling. They will not thinks to chase the win because that can makes them regret to see their lose and if they regret, that will hurt themselves because that will difficult to recover their lose.

But if they can consider with their win or lose and realizes that they can lose their money, they will reduce their risks so they will not regret about what will happens later if they lose their money. They will not becomes greedy when they win and will quit immediately because they know that if they keep playing gambling, they can lose their win money. Regret will be the most painful for a gambler so it is better we avoids that so we don't have to feel regret because of our lose.

No gambler is new to taking risks that's something we are used to, whenever we take a risk we are always ready for whatever the outcome will be so we brace ourselves for impact or should I say we become numb to the pain of losing but when it comes to the pain of regret this can actually take a toll on your mental health especially if you missed out on a life changing amount that would have elevated you, I have this experience before, instead of placing a bet that I copied from Twitter I decided to do something else with it because I was very skeptical about it unfortunately for me the game played out and I would have won half a million naira if I took that chance. From my experience the pain of regret hurts more than risk

Yes, the core of the problem is always about greed, or in the sense that greed is always something that is difficult for the majority of gamblers to ignore, and that certainly happens because of the lack of knowledge and understanding of what they are actually doing, especially if we talk in the context of gambling which has a very bad level of risk and impact that can destroy someone's life in various aspects.

 The point is to know and understand the possibilities that can occur from the decisions you choose, or what is meant is to be aware of the risks first before you decide to make a decision, don't just think about winning, understand and realize that losing is also always part of the game, because that way all decision making I think will never exceed your capabilities.

Obviously, regret is the most painful, because when we regret then of course we have high hopes or good hopes for something. But, when those hopes cannot come true or can be said to fail,  then regret will cause more pain than about the risk. Because after all, the risk may also have been realized, because when taking a risky choice then we will also be aware of the bad results that are very likely to happen.

Therefore, when we are ready with a choice that has a high risk eventhough in the end if the result is bad or fail then we will also regret it, but because we are ready for the bad results then the bad results will not be so painful. So, yes, if it is related to betting then we should be ready for the bad  results that will happen because then, when we lose at least we will not experience deep regret and or depression.

For everybody gambling there is either risk or regrets that they will get and nothing more therefore we should be prepared for any of the two things that happens and not be thinking we can only have one out come which is to win. Gamblers do not have to be confused or they will not win. Before we gamble, we should already know what we want to happen but we should not put all our hopes that it is what is going to happen. Gambling the mindset that we can not win, will make to not win because you have to believe first before what you are thinking can manifest into the reality. Using small amounts to stake is always the best strategy because it gives you more chances of playing more or different games and still have not spend too much money for you to say you have over gambled.

How will say that the regretting is more painful than risks, because anyone that risks he knows that is willingness to risk but when it’s come that you plan to apply something the times that you peoples are applying you didn’t take am serious till when the time has passed after some are starting make benefits from that your next level will be regrets.

Like example now the way may of people are shouting of airdrop especially the dogs that a lot of users are having higher expectations for, I knows some people saw it when others are surfing claim but some take it has nothing; but now that it’s has coming to an end a lot people are try to participate when is already later.

both have risk and investing in memecoin is have same risk as a gambling, today memecoin are easy to find and most of them throw their liquidity into burning address so rup pull is rare case in today degen era.

Why I tell it same as gambling because the chance are still 50.50 its same if you play crash game or dice game in my opinion

Definitely. We always have to be prepared for the outcome of our bets because it's just losing or winning and there's nothing in the middle of it.
We can become a better gambler if we already accept our losses because that's just how it is in any gambling site out there. Slots are actually more prone to losing high amounts of money because the slot providers created it that way so that we keep on playing until we reach a point where we cannot afford it anymore.
I have been playing slots for a long time and I can say that with so many bets that I did, the ratio is like 1 win:10-15 losses. We must also be prepared about that and a low amount budget might not get anything if we gamble there.

If many people can realizes about that, they will not risks too much money to gambling instead will use some money. They don't have to do that because if they lose, they will regret and difficult to recover their losses. Many people already have that bad experience so we must take care of ourselves by always manage our money to gambling.

Risks and regret will follow us when we playing gambling so we must know how to manage the risks so we will not regret. We must know how much money we will use to playing gambling and know how to avoids regret. By that way, we will not have to regret because of big lose because we only playing gambling because of fun.

Yes, we must set our minds to enjoy gambling as an entertainment. We can playing gambling using small money for some time and then quit gambling immediately. That will help us to prevents the big lose and we will not face any problem after we finish gambling.

           -     That's why the amount that we bet on gambling should be limited, because it's difficult because our gambling money is not limited. But if we have a gambling limit, we can also implement or train ourselves to have self-discipline and be responsible gamblers in any casino online.

It is good that we gamble only a small amount so that, at least if we lose, the regret that we will feel when we lose playing at any casino here in the crypto gambling industry is not that big.

Haha that is natural human attitude, they always feel lacking and always consider themselves capable of achieving much greater success, but in reality what actually happens is that they are unable to achieve success in gambling on large scale in row.
Taking risks is the courage of gambler and when they win then there is an increasingly passionate courage for self-confidence that might change conditions to be much worse, this is the dark side of gambling which when pursued will be increasingly difficult to obtain.
It just that there are also some people who are able to control themselves and really minimize all these bad attitudes.
Moreover, if someone feels they have enough capital then they will definitely act as they please until they finally regret everything they have done.

For sure we could really be able to attest such condition or moment on which regret could really be something that be part into our regret that keeps coming back. This is why on the time that you would really be doing up something then better to trust up your instincts for some time because on the moment that it would really be winning that one then it would really be that having that kind of regret
that you cant really be able to make yourself that sleep for some days or even longer. Risk is always been part on which not really just that limited to gambling but also
in other things as well such as investment. So decisions made would really be that mattering on someones approach.

the desire to win bets sometimes makes us hesitate when placing bets. we can trust our instincts but when the analysis is sometimes not very supportive and even there are some other opinions from friends that make the doubt quite high.
we know gambling is always risky, gamblers must understand that all is part of the choice. following instincts is the same as gambling. it can be right or wrong. we have to consider everything the same. even when we regret not placing a bet on a choice that could make us win before, that's very natural. but try to think that it's not our luck to get a win like that. maybe it will come again tomorrow.

Sorry to say, but your question is completely meaningless to me, I personally don't know how others feel about this, but then, I don't see how this two are different from each other as long as it's gambling we are talking about, and this is because, one often leads to the other, Taking risks is what often leads to regret when the expected outcome fail  to materialize.

I have never gotten to the point where I have or had to regret over a game I did not play, or a bet I missed placing, and this is because, in the world of gambling, opportunities are ever available, if you missed placing a bet on a particular match, hop on and make sure not to miss betting on the next coming back instead of wallow and shorten your lifespan with regret, I hope you understand perfectly what I mean.

Gambling is not something that should be taken that serious, it's majorly for fun right, regardless of the fact that most gamblers today treat it as a source of income, but nevertheless, when ever one missed a bet, he or she should go on and place another bet, I see no way regretting is even a thing here, regret is only possible when after taking a risk, your expectations fail to come to reality, which also means that you lost your bet, this can lead to some regrets which shouldn't even be, because people should only bet what they can afford to lose right.

How can you know if you will win if you do not try? I believe that if you doubt whether to participate in something that concerns your finances and if you understand that if you lose them, you will have problems, then you should not do anything. But if you have the means to take a risk and your intuition tells you that you need to take a risk, you should try. However, you must understand in advance that you will only have yourself to blame if something goes wrong. Luck loves risk but does not love stupidity.

The pain in taking the risk because you know already to yourself if you already reached your limit and it's up to you now if you will more games now if you are feeling luck or have a good vibes to play go a head but if the game doesn't reciprocating the energy you are giving and it changes your mood now I guess that's the time watch your self are you still going to make a bet or not because sometimes having that kind of decision makes us deep into the wrong idealization to make another bet. Imagine if you take home already your wins instead playing more. that's part of the gambling people how they risk with their games.

No risk, no luck....some people at e not risk taker and that will make their luck not coming in because they did not give it the chance. Everything we do in life is a risk to see if our strategy will work out as planned and that is why you need to take the risk to see if it is worth it.

This is the same with gambling if you don't bet, how will you win. It is better to try than not trying because you don't know what the future has for you. Let's not regret tomorrow because we fail to take risk when it was called for. Some risk are not worth taking while some are worth risking.

Very interesting question this, and actually I have experienced both as
I'm sure many others have as well, anyone who says they havent I wouldnt
believe them!

Personally I think the pain of losing a bet far out weighs the pain of regret
of not taking a bigger winning bet because at least there is a win which is much
better than nothing at all - this is my experience!

Well that's the point, everything can only be known when someone starts with an action or by trying it including gambling. This means experiencing loss or regret is a natural part especially if we talk about gambling, we have to accept whatever the results are. And simply as you said that if we don't want to experience anything like loss or regret then it is clear that the experiment should not be done. It all depends on our own agreement because we are the ones who make the decision, simply when you know that it is a risky activity then don't be a loser, in the sense of not feeling hurt when it turns out that the risk happens to you.

The difficulty in answering this question lies in the fact that the pain felt by the gambler is very personal and depends on many factors, including the amount of loss (the value of the lost amount), the degree of awareness of the gambler’s personality, and perhaps whether he has psychological support from someone around him such as family or friends.

In general, it can be said that regret is often more painful and lasting than risk. This is because risk is a temporary state, while regret can accompany the gambler for a long time after the event has occurred. In addition, regret can lead to other psychological problems, such as depression and anxiety.

Gamblers are already aware of the risk of gambling and also they know that if they lose, there will be regret but not for those who will do responsible gambling and who have control over their emotions. I also feel that most of the gamblers will regret if they lose and therefore it is impossible to distinguish between the two by the gamblers. If anyone jumps into gambling with preparation, he will surely face the pain of losing and every new gambler will always feel this pain.

That is the reason why some people are regretting it today: they were rich before, but after they got into gambling, they were carried away, became addicted, and lost all their wealth to gambling. I don't know if you can remember one old thread in which the OP narrated how he was being cautioned and discouraged from gambling by an elderly man who claims that gambling has ruined his life and that gambling is demonic. 

If the case is about having a lot of money or large capital to gamble and then becoming poor, I think it's because of not having discipline. Because when they gamble with discipline then ofcourse they will also have a good way of gambling,  of course with a workable strategy and not just blindly betting, that is clearly the wrong way. In this way, they regret gambling so much until they blame gambling, despite the fact that the fault lies with themselves. But,it's different with risk, because when they realize about the risk then of course they will also gamble with calculation and even if they lose,  at least it doesn't make them regret it so deeply because they will not become poor either.

With much confidence, I would say regret from not taking a winning chance, rather than suffering from painful losses that cannot be undone after that. Some people lost their savings, houses, stole and even killed after suffering huge losses,  there are some people that were rich and due to their addiction lost everything and became poor.
Sometimes, we find great chances with very high odds to set a bet but also afraid of losing it, after the results you find that bet is successful but you lost that chance and regret starts to eat your heart and keep thinking about it for days. However, in this case you will have other chances to find other chances and gamble responsably.

Risk isn't painful at all. It's the regret that hurts. In my case risk is exciting. I feel good taking risks and it's some of that adrenaline that keeps me coming back, even after a prolonged hiatus.
Most gamblers crave two things. The excitement that taking a risk brings and the happiness and satisfaction of winning money. The pain of loss is what we want to avoid but worst of all is shame, especially when someone finds out how much we lost. This is by far the worst feeling.

Some will tell you that no risk no gain, but i will say that not all risk have gain, we must know which to go for and the ones we should avoid completely, if we can't afford to risk it, then we should not go for it because there is no certainty on many things when it comes to gambling, we are only taking the chance for winning or losing and whichever comes in then we have to embrace such as part of our fate in gambling.

Therefore, it is not wrong when many people advise not to tell others about our gambling activities, in other words, it is better to hide it. Only those closest to us should know, by limiting it not only reduces the shame we receive due to the many losses we experience, but also helps to reduce stress. Most people find it very difficult to hold back from telling stories, especially when they get benefits from gambling, because they want to celebrate it together. That's where gambling habits usually begin to be revealed, but for some people it is not a big problem.

On the other hand, shame arises from expecting too much, and when unlucky, someone tends to think it is not worth telling. I think everyone has experienced something similar, and I think it is normal in gambling. When you dare to take risks, shame is also a part of it, meaning that gambling is not only risking money and time. Meanwhile, it is better not to care too much about other people's judgments regarding our gambling activities, after all, they have also experienced it.

Regrets are an important part of being a human. And where there are regrets, it usually comes in the end and not at first. That's why sometimes regrets are unavoidable since you have less control on it or you might have the control but you didn't take the risk, that's also something that is common in a human being. If you don't take the risk and end up profitable in the end, regrets are there, simply because no one knew that it will be the outcome then.

In life, if you never take any risk, you will never make it anywhere. As man, you have to risk everyday for the rest of your life, you risk your brain to work with a particular company and get paid, there is a high tendency that if you go to another company, you will get paid higher but you risk it and some people might really go and to another company and leave the previous ones  which is risky too but if it's work out, it's an advantage for them but if doesn't, that's a regret, this how I can best explain the two terms.

I just think that one is worth more than one, it's shouldn't be about the pain but the cause in which you want to make it. Not even taking a risk is a risk because you might regret itater that why didn't you take the risk in the first place. I will take risk every day because it's worth it even if it's might be painful experience, the reward is worth it.

But in the end trying not to be curious will be a little more to give a pretty good thing in my opinion even if it loses than not doing it at all . When we are gambling,  of course there are several things that must be considered including taking the risks that are faced when we want to bet so that if we really want to gamble then we must know and put aside regret a little because after all we must remember that even if we lose then it is the risk and consequences that we bear to answer the curiosity that we have and that there is no need to regret it because we have made a choice before .

Many people do not accept defeat when gambling and think that they are cheated or feel sorry for making a bet for me is ridiculous because if you don't want to regret it then don't do gambling in the first place. Since we have taken the step to gamble then we should be prepared to lose .

Well, it would be more painful to loss a bet with a huge some than missing  a booked game which should have definitely  made a good win. Just like you said, there is always  time to make another game and try again but what has been lost, is gone forever. The best you can do is to make another prediction and if luck is at your side then you might win the game  and that may or may not satisfy you, but every win is worth being happy for, because  the probability of winning  is low. However  some missed bet can be very frustrating  as the potential win could have worth something really good.

Losing an extraordinary opportunity may make us feel guilty about our decisions and have a guilty conscience, but you forget that when the result is not an opportunity, it is an unusual peace of mind when it is already a certain loss but fortunately, we have been warned and have no regrets. I mean a chance in gambling is just a combination of risk and adventure, it is not a pure chance to win, it must be a sacrifice in exchange for a relative result, do not let yourself be nervous, regret is sometimes not something to be ashamed of and must be avoided

The risks and regrets are subjective, so it depends on the gambler and the context in which they are used, and they could be both painful with almost the same magnitude.

Risk: Wrong risk will definitely be painful especially if the gambler loses and could be aggravated if a huge amount void of proper management is involved. While the right risk is less painful because it can't be associated with a big risk and the gambler must have understood the risk he is taking.

Regret: It may also come in several ways and magnitude. You might regret if you take a risk when the outcome is negative and you might regret when you refuse to take a risk when your intended option and outcome come as you wanted.

Above all, risk and regret can be used interchangeably in gambling, notwithstanding, it's better you missed the opportunity rather than regretting later out of mistakes and senseless risk-taking.

From expressions of the gamblers I have cut across I think that of a pain out of  regret has been much severe than pains from losing a bet due to a risk taken. In fact we take risk everytime we set out to gamble so we've got to get use of pains from risk. But that of a pain from a winning that would have changed your life and you missed it, the regret gonna stay there for a long time before you get over it. Am saying this out of experience. It's like an opportunity missed, it's had to handle and accept it that you have missed a life charger while people around you took up the chance.

Assuming that the topic consider a life changing amount on the regret then I totally agree with this statement since all the lose can be ignored after a few days or weeks of abstaining gambling while missing the opportunity to win life changing amount will always remain forever the pain.

I still have this kind of what if regrets until now since I do have a chance to become a millionaire before if I didn’t sold my early crypto holdings in the past. This is same when you have an opportunity missed if you already have a chance to get it.

Do you think it's something that's really of any importance to humans? I don't think so, but rather, it's something that is inevitable, but it's mostly uncontrollable in some situations. Just like you mentioned, we cannot have control over it, but there are some situations where one can actually avoid it, but because of ignorance, they will do something that they have been warned not to do, and when the consequences of their action start, they will then start regretting it. 

I think the point is that as long as humans are in a normal stage of thinking (except having a mental disorder) then regret will always be something that can never be completely avoided, we are no more than ordinary humans who do not always know about what is likely to happen in any case, meaning regret will always be something that is certain to be felt. Ignorance will always drive curiosity and when the action is not accompanied by the ability to accept the consequences of the risk then regret will occur, meaning in my opinion there are two ways to avoid regret, namely either you do nothing or you prepare yourself from the start to accept anything that will happen that you did not know before.

I agree. It will happen, but it's not because we want it to or because it's natural, but because we are not in charge ;D

The answer to the question will be based on individual experience and the amount that was lost or would have been won. I will regret more if I lose since money is already involved. Betting with a huge amount and losing is very painful, especially when you have confidence that you will win the bet. The pain of losing an opportunity to win big because of fear of taking risks is painful, but it wouldn't last for a long time. Since I didn't lose any funds, in a few days, I might overcome the pain. Although I might still recall it once in a while every gambler should believe that the future is better. There will always be more opportunities to win big if you don't give up.

In general people regret way more a missed chance than a risk taken, and this is because when it comes to the risk you took, at least you can find solace in the fact that you tried your best despite your failure, but when it comes to the missed opportunities, you will always wonder what it may have happened if you took your chances, which is why if the risk you face is on the low side, it is preferable to take the risk as there is a chance that things could turn in your favor and you may get what you want.

You are correct that risk and regret in betting are highly subjective and can be equally painful depending on the situation. However, one must keep in mind that both can be steered clear of, or at least minimized, with a more measured and thoughtful approach.

Risk-taking is part of gambling, but it can be curbed by being well informed about your limits and proper management. Regret typically results from imprudent actions; most of the time, regret stems from acting without thought. Hence, it is wiser to be prudent in decision-making than to have avoidable regrets come later on a platter.

Ultimately gambling should be, done with a full awareness of the downside and not just chasing opportunities uncalculated risks.

Gambling and risk goes hand in hand and for sure it worth getting used to because when we are used to that pain of loses from our risk, the impact on our mental health will be less, unlike those that risk with the mentality of winning and also risking more than they can afford to lose, those in that category will face more pain when they lose along the lines they become pained to the point of losing it even more than just regret, because at times some of those gambler's may even go as far as borrowing money just to take that risk which at most will definitely put the in a tite corner when they expectations failed, when it comes to cryptocurrency gambling, there is the need to always take calculated risk and not just jumping on anything based on greed because greed can only lead to frustrating outcome at most times.

Your right. It's preferable a gamblers to accept the fact that they lose a bet when they gamble knowing full well that they may win or lose from the beginning than having to not bet the game and at the end of the day the game later played. The regret of not staking the game will be more painful but one cannot predict when a game will play that is why most gamblers fall victim to this kind of situation.

There are several reasons why people end up regretting gambling which is because they did not play the game because they are low on finances or they missed the period. A missed opportunity for life-changing experience can never  be forgetting.

All the gamblers will go for the regret because already we al know that gambling is risky so there is nothing to be afraid of. And it will be painful if you didn't risk the fund to play and someone bet or play the game and win exactly the way your were thinking of to play.
Gambling is risk event so whoever involved in it supposed know that so that you won't have the heart attack.

Is regret an important part of our lives? Sometimes, in most cases, I consider it a punishment for not making the right decision, but in most cases, I also see it as something that tells us that we are still alive and can still reconsider the decision we have made in the past.
 
Whichever way I consider it, if it’s possible for us to avoid experiencing regret, we should avoid it, even as in most cases, it creates room for opportunity compared to taking a risk, which will burn out the amount used to place the bet.

Who doesn't regret making a terrible mistake that led to losing money or an opportunity to win cash? The real action is to get rid of the recurring thoughts that regret launches on the person's memory. I prefer learning from my mistakes, it helps me plan a better gambling strategy. Reminiscing over a painful past diminishes happiness. And, living in regrets is a chronic illness that could ruin a player's life. Minimizing it can help stabilize the health condition of any player.

I don't know for me but there is no pain in rising anything in gambling as long as you do it and practice it in a way the money involved is something I can afford to lose, I can't feel any pain when I lose a dollar. Sometimes in my local currency, I do bet a cent and it do worth something later even if you make a conversion to dollar currency. Just gamble amount you know you can afford to lose and you will be fine with the pain of the risk.

As for the regret, I'm not sure about that as well. Its better to not to gamble and lose your staking power, your judgement should have a reason why you are not doing it and if it's okay by it, if the result turn out the other way round, you should never bother a out it. Perhaps it was never yours to play in the first place, you can't be lucky everytime you know.

Opportunity they say comes only but once and when missed it almost never comes again that's why it will appear even more painful than an opportunity you did failed at. For gamblers especially those who have gambled for a long time and are used to loosing, they would say they will not be pained by loosing a game as much as a game they didn't place a stake on and it did turned out the game was won, probably it could have been a turning point for them especially for heavy stakes but for a regular Gambler it would have taken care of a bill or the other, putting all this together gets them to feel pained they didn't grab the opportunity when they saw it.

Many times when we never take the opportunity to bet on a right changing games that would have given us profits, this can be very hard to be forgetton compared to the bets that we lost. Opportunity is not something that we can easily forget that is why we would keep thinking about it and how ones life would have changed entirely. Their are so many bets I have played and never win a dime but I can still remember so many bets I should have taken that could have given me better results making it a remarkable day my life would have changed. I have also learnt to say bye to every  of my regrets, I believe in new opportunities.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gambling is sure to bring you more losses than investment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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