Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?

[el kaka22]

Just once, I had it so terribly because it was the first ever money I earned and then I lost it on gambling and I swore off gambling for a long time after that, didn't gamble for god knows how long. When I came back, I had that in mind and I knew that gambling is a net loss and there is no winning here.

Doesn't mean that every single time you gamble you will end up with a loss, I had those crazy 100x or more returns as well, definitely was a fun feeling when I won that but even then I knew that I will not be earning anything from it and the long run I will lose at least that much as long as I kept on trying. This is why I ended up limiting my budget very well and I do not end up gambling excess amount, no need to risk anything for something I know I am going to lose.

i have never regretted gambling because in here gambling is illegal and normal, i have only once regretted using my emergency money to gamble, it made me have to suffer a sizable loss.  Gambling is an activity that should not be regretted, you have to enjoy it so that the results you get can make you satisfied, but before that, make sure the money you are using is not your only money to suppress severe losses and avoid using borrowed money to gamble.

This is one of the major reason why we are always advised to use money we can afford to lose, if a gambler refuses to set aside money that they want to use for gambler from their major money they'll only end up using everything to gamble and at the end that will result to some regrets.

From the look of things I don't think you always have regrets after gambling because spend more than you should have is the only reason you have ever felt remorse after gambling, you should always try to practice the habit of allocating some cash for gambling so that way you'll be conscious of your spendings.

There are times when we can win and lose and it all depends on luck. If you are lucky, you can win. But if you are unlucky, you will lose. We have all experienced wins and losses, regardless of the amount. And many of us feel regret and don't want to do it again but in reality, we come to the casino again and play other games in the hope that we can win and at the same time recover previous losses.

If we think we want to recover previous losses, we must realize it is difficult because it will require more money. And we also don't know when our luck will come. So instead of wanting to recover previous losses or get wins, we should just play gambling for fun.

The desire to get a win in order to recover losses will always appear in the minds of gamblers when they experience defeat and also a feeling of regret because with added emotion the desire to chase defeat always appears by itself.
Maybe playing with the aim of having fun is the right choice, but can a gambler who experiences a big loss feel pleasure without the slightest regret.
Gambling uses deposited money so if it's only with small money it might be easy to accept defeat and think of it as fun but when using large amounts of money it's no longer fun but looking for profit.

You will start to feel remorse only after you lose your money, I've not seen anyone that feels remorse before starting to gamble, unless, he feels worried about himself, thinking that the road he is about to set on can make him change for ever, if you ever feel like this it's better to stop, because the mind is a very powerful part of the body, sometimes the mind can make things happen to us.

You know yourself better than anyone, if your mind is trying to warn you about what you are planning to do, sometimes it's better to put an end to that plan.

Controlling the mind is our responsibility; we believe what we see rather than what we hear; we're sensitive whenever gambling trends emerge; and we always want to be on the safe side, because gamblers know exactly what they've signed up for the moment they place a wager with their money. One must take drastic steps to tell oneself truth, because only then one will set free from the late night sleeps and critical thinking.

Feeling guilt after gambling is uncommon unless one is on the brink of losing or has already lost. Gambling can be viewed as either good or bad from an individual's point of view; those who have made significant money from gambling always embrace it and speak of its positive aspects, whereas those who have not made any money from it stumble in their own thoughts, criticizing it harshly, and hoping for a day that they will joined in the congregation of people that spread positive points about gambling, that embrace it.

I saw this online and thought maybe i should bring on to bitcointalk for discussion.

If a person gamble and at the end of the game he starts to feel remorse is that a good thing or should the person be on alert?

If he loses money by gambling, he will surely regret it for a short time. Be it me or anyone else, any person will regret after losing a bet and that is normal. But the person who does not come to this repentance must realize that the person is totally addicted to gambling and he is going to destroy his life.

Depends on the losses. If it's a big one, yes but if not, no. Until now do you still regret it? But how much is the amount you are playing anyway? You should have lowered it according only to your capacity but if it's already small, it would be better to stay away from gambling because too much regret is not healthy anymore or maybe you can play gambling with no money involved. That could still entertain you, if you are only playing for the same purpose and not for the profit.

I don't regret nowadays on my losses even if sometimes I go overboard because I am already used to it and no, it does not mean that I am addicted to gambling already. I know my self more.

Almost every single gambler will have remorse if they have lost everything to gambling, you don't realize that you are losing everything until at the end, you see that a very small amount is remaining from your game account and then you start thinking that you should gamble this as well only with the hope that maybe you manage to win something big from it, and when that doesn't happen, that is where it starts.

You might not feel remorse if you were gambling with a limited budget that you had set only for gambling, in such a case, you won't feel that bad because you already have made up your mind that you might win but you may lose as well.

Just once, I had it so terribly because it was the first ever money I earned and then I lost it on gambling and I swore off gambling for a long time after that, didn't gamble for god knows how long.

This is why I ended up limiting my budget very well and I do not end up gambling excess amount, no need to risk anything for something I know I am going to lose.

That's definitely a good decision to have a limited budget for gambling and not spend everything that you earn or have on gambling only with the hope that you might win more than what you have as we all know the house always wins in the long run, so whatever you make in gambling will eventually be lost if you don't know when to stop, and even if you stop at that moment when you've won something, you will still gamble it back later if you don't limit your gambling budget.

I don't think that there will be even a single gambler out there who doesn't feel remorse for losing something big or very important ever in their lives in gambling, it happens to everyone but some will learn from it and others will still continue gambling.

I don't see any reason on why someone would knowingly use some funds to gamble and then feel remorse later on. In most cases, remorse is felt when there is a loss after gambling and also when the funds used in gambling was originally budgeted for something important.

In lots of cases, people go out of their way to borrow funds believing in some sort of luck that they would make a profit and be able to pay back the loan. And when things doesn't go as thought out and there are losses, that's when you would then be thinking more clearly and remorse sets in.

Nothing wrong with managing gambling if one sets a monthly expenditure and manages his gambling accordingly. But if the necessary money is used for gambling then only problems are created. I have seen some gamblers who spend a large part of their monthly salary on gambling and later take out loans to support their families. After gambling like this for a while, they not only lose money but also destroy the family. It is not unusual for those who lose large amounts of money to gamble to suffer from regret.

This is normal for gamblers because they don't like seeing their losses, especially if the loss is a big loss. They want to recover their losses by playing gambling again but they have to be able to lower their emotions. Otherwise, it will only trigger another defeat and they will truly regret following their ego.

But even though it is entrusted money, we should not use it for gambling even though the owner doesn't mind if we use it for gambling and instead tells us to gamble. We should gamble using our own money because if we lose, it's our money that we don't need to give back to other people.

If it has become your habit without regret when you lose a bet and lose some money, isn't that the same as you have planned a budget for gambling according to what you can afford to lose?
if that's true I think you are really not an addict but it's just that you gamble according to what you can afford to get entertainment or have fun.

but I'm sure that at least once in a while you've felt regret when you lost a small amount of gambling or maybe after getting a slightly big win but you spent it again having fun.

Its not a good thing but I think its a normal  thing  especially  if the money used for betting was sacrificed and was intended for something else, and now you've lost money and now also indebted or be seen as a debtor.
There are times when the regrets come and its mostly after a huge loss and that is why it  is always preached to use the amount of money we can afford to lose.
Greed is one major factors that gives room to regrets because at the end of the day, we loss everything from.greed and end up with regrets

[Hispo]

It only happened to me once, after I had a very unlucky session of dices.
I lost some money which I could perfectly have used to invite my parents to eat outside or help them to buy something they asked for.

That was a moment which helped me learn that I should be more responsible and only wager amounts which would not give me remorse if I end up losing, it does not matter if that also translates into decreasing my chances of seeing an important profit during a good streak. In the end, this is supposed to be about entertainment and nothing else.

I felt bad for three days, until I realized it was not such a big deal.

When a gambler is in a game session and loses so that the decision to return the money that has been lost becomes a goal, it is difficult to control emotions because his thoughts and emotions have become one and the focus is only on winning a game.
Actually the most difficult thing about gambling is not about addiction but about controlling yourself.

Because usually there are several people who give their money to be used as betting capital with the aim of sharing the results when they win.
This happens, of course there is an agreement that if the money is lost, then they must be able to receive it.
It is better to use their own money but if there is an offer like that few people will refuse it.

Remorse is another way of saying regrets and they're associated with negative thoughts which isn't healthy for you as a gambler. You felt remorse because you did things you're not suppose to do therefore look with in yourself and stop what made you feel remorseful.

Feeling remorseful isn't a good thing, there are so many reasons why you're feeling so. It could be because gambling isn't allowed in your religion or family and you know you have disobeyed that belief therefore you're feeling ashamed of yourself.

it could be because you have used money that you weren't supposed to you for gambling and you have lost the money and now you're left with nothing but just regretting the decision you took. You don't get remorseful when you had a successful bet and won.

Your experience is an example of the classic risk-reward problem that gamblers face, a psychological battle as old as time. It's true; gambling can offer exhilarating highs, as your 100x returns illustrate. But as you've astutely observed, it's a game where the odds are stacked against the player. One of the most critical principles in gambling, as well as in broader financial and investment decisions, is the concept of "Expected Value." The Expected Value in gambling is typically negative, meaning the average outcome over the long run is a loss. That’s where your understanding and perception of this ‘game’ is scientifically grounded and appreciable. Limiting one's budget while gambling, also known as "bankroll management," is indeed a strategy practiced by many successful gamblers. Yet, it's worth reminding ourselves that gambling should be viewed as a form of entertainment rather than a reliable means of making money.

You will start to feel remorse only after you lose your money, I've not seen anyone that feels remorse before starting to gamble, unless, he feels worried about himself, thinking that the road he is about to set on can make him change for ever, if you ever feel like this it's better to stop, because the mind is a very powerful part of the body, sometimes the mind can make things happen to us.

You know yourself better than anyone, if your mind is trying to warn you about what you are planning to do, sometimes it's better to put an end to that plan.

Gambling is not by force that we must do, we shouldn't engage doing what will lead to regret or great repercussions later in life because we can't just take hold of controlling our urge for gambling, everyone need to put themselves in other and remain determined not to allow gambling takes them to where they bever expected to landed at, but we must start that today with caution while gambling by knowing when to gamble and when not to and stop deceiving ourselves that we are sleeping while there's fire on the mountain, everything has time and season.

It is better to use their own money but if there is an offer like that few people will refuse it.

So, in this case, we must have the ability to control ourselves so that we can avoid the desire to continue the game or want to recover the losses we have experienced. And with that self-control we will not think about recovering the money we have lost but will think that it is a risk that we accept because we have been gambling. We should still be able to control ourselves well so that we don't think about things and even experience gambling addiction later. Using our own money to gamble must be accompanied by responsibility; if that money runs out on the gambling table, we will only feel disappointed. But if we use other people's money, we must return the money somehow. So the responsibility will be greater if we use other people's money to play gambling.

sometimes a gambler forgets the identity they have which causes regret in the future. I mean sometimes a gambler forgets that he should be betting only for entertainment without having to think about doubling the money or big wins which will end up being worse, namely addiction. and for gamblers who have already become addicts they will find it difficult to control themselves not to be emotional and control spending for money that must be spent.
so that those who continually lose money at gambling will always regret every money they risk.

[Negotiation]

I think we should not do things in life which we regret later no one can guarantee winning in gambling. Have to bet with your own experience and control being the biggest. Regrets will be less if you can control everything most players enjoy gambling and see it as a recreational activity. On the other hand, there are players who cannot control their urges and usually see gambling as a way to make easy money. They usually play with money they can't afford to lose, usually money that goes for something else like rent.
