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?

Hello fellow Bitcointalkers & Saheedu,

It's indeed a compelling question that taps into the core psychology of gambling. Remorse after gambling could be seen from two angles.

On one hand, feeling regret or remorse might signify a healthy consciousness about one's actions, especially if they've overstepped their set budget or time limit. This remorse might inspire them to reassess their approach to gambling, which is a positive outcome.

On the other hand, if remorse is a constant companion post-gambling, it could indicate that the individual is not gambling responsibly or perhaps is in conflict with their own values or financial situation. This would be a clear red flag and sign that they should step back and evaluate their relationship with gambling.

At Chipstars, we firmly believe in responsible gambling. It's paramount that the activity remains a form of entertainment and does not become a source of regret or financial distress. We've established various measures to promote this, such as setting betting limits, self-exclusion options, and resources for getting help with problem gambling.

All in all: Remorse can be a useful tool for self-reflection and readjustment, but if it's a frequent emotion experienced after gambling, it might be time to step back and reconsider one's approach.

Remember, at Chipstars, we want our players to enjoy the experience, and that means gambling responsibly and within their means.

This is supposed to be normal especially  when someone makes a very huge loss and maybe he wasn't ready for such losses.
I don't think  there should be a call for alarm when a person feels remorse or maybe some form of regrets after losing a money  he wasn't willing to loss and no matter how much we're  willing to lose,  when the loses come, we sometimes wish we never played that very day and if you'll agree with me that, that's the point the regrets are ready playing out.

What a person should do at this point when cases like this arises more often is have a pause from gambling and also trying g to figure out where the problem is coming from and also trying to have a budget for gambling and also trying  to see gambling as a game rather than a get rich quick scheme.

[ShowOff]

Exactly this.Every time I have gambled more than I should,money that I should not have lost,I kept depositing more and more to only feel the stress and remorse after I lost considerable amounts of money which clearly damaged me and my family.The moment I realize that this is not bringing anything good to me I changed strategy,I immediately put just 50 dollars as a maximum to play daily or weekly depending on my time and in order to extend my session game play in slot machines I kept playing with IDR so I could play a really long time with that amount and feel the pleasure of gambling not caring much if I won or lost while doing so,so in the end it all depends on the point of view and if the gambler is happy to play only small amount,kinda like not going to see a movie in weekend and gambling that money.

In the end, if you can't reach a balance between your expenses and your income, it's very likely that you'll end up in financial trouble. Gambling is not a fast way to make money, it should be, but most of us do the opposite. It may sound good when you have set limits on how much money you can gamble with so you won't feel guilty if you lose.

It is also always said to gamble responsibly so you don't regret what you have earned after the session is over. The risks of losing at gambling are very real, so if you're not gambling for money, you can play for fun at lower stakes.

Remorse is a common part of gambling. For those who haven't strayed too far into compulsive or problem gambling, at least. As a frequent gambler, you experience regret when you lose, when you gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, when you spend too much time at an online casino and your entire day seems to go to waste because you were idle, and when you miss out on something because of gambling. This could be something as trivial as forgetting your wedding anniversary, taking your parent to the doctor, skipping your child's game or performance in school, etc.  I've had regret over gambling twice. 2016 and 2018 follow. I made the decision to reduce it after it nearly destroyed my life.

I believe that a gambler would feel really bad and regretful if they lack self control such as when they exceed their limit of gambling budget and end up losing much more than anticipated. It's quite depressing when this realization hits imo

Moreover losing a big amount of money on gambling can lead to regret when you encounter something interesting in real life that you would like to buy, or when you come across a good service you'd like to try but lack the funds for it. If you had saved the money you spent on gambling you would have been able to afford those things. This can be truly regrettable at times. However, for me at least I accept it as it is. I don't mind much since I always put some rules for myself when it comes to gambling and I adhere to them to avoid feeling remorse later on.

It is great that you could made a recovery after it had such negative consequences on you and your loved ones, unfortunately despite the many stories like yours in which people reveal the difficulties they had to face, there are many people out there that simply do not think that something like this is ever going to them, they fail to take any precautions and then they find themselves facing the same uphill struggle that you faced, and tragically not everyone is able to get back their previous life.

Picture the aftermath of a soiree, but instead of nursing a pounding headache, you're left with a hollow wallet and a heart burdened with regrets. The sensation of forfeiting real-world experiences due to financial shackles, a byproduct of gambling downfalls, can indeed be a sobering revelation.

Your practice of setting and complying with gambling standards is laudable. It demonstrates a significant self-awareness and discipline - attributes frequently missing in gamblers entrapped by addiction. Therefore, advocating more strongly for "responsible gambling" seems fitting. Heightening awareness about the potential hazards of gambling and endorsing self-imposed rules could contribute positively to the discourse.

I believe and really believe that many of us have experienced disappointment and regret after gambling sessions. there are various factors behind it, whether it's regret for not withdrawing the winning money which in the end loses all of our balances because we are too busy playing. either because someone regrets because the money he is betting is the money he is borrowing and is actually for other needs. and many other reasons, which in the end make us regret after the betting session we did.

The point is, this experience is a common experience among gamblers. in fact, it didn't happen just once. apart from that, gamblers who have good control are also accompanied by experience. not infrequently, they get carried away according to circumstances which in the end regret their gambling.
So, like I said, this problem is a common problem and can happen to anyone, including pro gamblers. because psychologically, sometimes our conditions and emotions get disturbed where in the end we lose full control over ourselves which has an impact when we do gambling sessions.

Especially as you said, where a gambler loses big money during his betting session. the feeling of regret comes because it is actually possible that the money could be used to pay for other needs. the point is, gamble as much as we can afford to lose which is when we experience defeat, we will not get high pressure which ends in regret. make gambling fun, if you lose today, stop for a moment and be able to come back another day.

People who play gambling and lose, big or small, will feel sorry for gambling. But that doesn't make some of them stop because they think it is temporary and they can win and recover their losses tomorrow. It is the wrong decision if they decide to return to gambling another day because that also does not guarantee they can get win. And the people who manage to break out of that circle should feel good that they have finally avoided the destruction that could have happened to their lives. And you are one of those people who are still lucky to be able to leave gambling before gambling destroys you.

Yes, I have always felt that feelings a couple of times before and the most recent is in the last weekend when I staked some sports bets and won the first game and was able to cash out but instead of taking a break, I went further to gamble more letting my greed to control me and at the end, I lost a good some from the first winning.

It was a reflecting time for me and I blamed myself for not taking the break when I first made the winning.

If from the beginning gamblers can have patience and accept defeat and then only gamble with the aim of having fun then whether it's a big loss or a small loss they won't regret it because they see defeat as payment to be able to have fun.
Many other gamblers suggest gambling with money that can be received when it is lost and one of the benefits is that the gambler doesn't regret too much and thinks about returning losses because the thought of being able to recover losses will only bring even greater losses.
I'm not sure anyone can actually leave gambling without even returning because here they are within the scope of the gambling industry so it's impossible to stop so easily.

There is no point in blaming yourself for losing gambling or betting on sports, because such an outcome is just as logical as winning.

Of course, it would be good to learn to stop gambling while there is still money in your account, although it is quite difficult, but it is a very useful practice that helps to fight greed.

Besides, even if you had stopped, there is no guarantee that you wouldn't lose the money you won next time. In this case, limiting the deposit helps a lot.

Let's all agree on one thing, if you had $100 dollars to gamble with and by the end of the day you manage to flip it to over a thousand dollars...do you think any one will feel remorseful, I don't think so!

But on the other hand, if you had a 1000 dollars in your gaming account,  and blew it to zero..here anybody would feel they would have done better things with the money than gamble...but again like they say, only game with money you can afford to lose and you won't feel the remorse!!

Such repentance is often seen among gamblers. After a big win, the level of greed increases. Some can gain but most of the time there is more chance of losing. Regrets of gains and losses are always present among those who gamble. A few days ago I took a bet where I won a large amount according to my level. After won the bet I thought to take a short break but suddenly I took a small bet and lost. To pursue the loss i lost the entire amount of my big win. After that I regretted that if I had been able to take a short break I could have cashed out my winnings.

I think he is implying on a scenario that user lose in gambling to feel remorse because no one will feel upset or remorse when you are winning or not losing during your gambling. It's really absurd if someone feel that way without losing any money on his game.

But in your last example, Even if I have 1M bankroll and lose only 1K, I will still feel a little bit upset since that is still good amount of money even if I can afford to lose it due to my bankroll. The difference is I will not soak on it and just forget about it after I feel temporarily sad about it.

Some people get used to it, I mean they will get used to being lose at everything and then still gamble because they are already addicted to it, they will not feel nothing anymore because they used to it and they will do everything just to satisfy their needs and the things that they wanted. They will continue to play even though they don't have anything in their pocket.

I regret when I lose money in gambling or when I don't take enough risks on a bet that I think is good. But basically, I just gamble for some dopamine. That's why I don't mind too much when I lose. And the money I use for this job does not strain my budget. Because I'm not pushing my limits and I'm not losing control of myself. However, I still feel sad when I lose and feel regret for my wrong choices, but not too much. In short, I gamble only to increase my emotional intensity. That's why I don't regret too much and I don't get upset.

Regret would always come at the end and this is something a feeling that wont really be that able to take away for someone who do make use of their funds which is really that already outside of their limits or allocation
on which they would really be minding that they shouldnt have done that because it is really that too much or really that go beyond their limits. Well, you wouldn't really be minding these things on the time that you do gamble which is most likely the case but on the time that you wont really be having money on your pocket then this is where you would really be completely stopping. Feeling of regrets and other similar emotions would really be mainly felt on the time that you cant play anymore but on the time that you do still have funds then you would really be having that sky is the limit kind of impression or emotion which its never been that ideal
on having this kind of characteristic most of the time specially when you do gamble because it would really be giving out that negative effect.

Well, don't we already know that gambling contains risks in it. so, losing is a condition that becomes a risk and will be experienced by everyone who makes a bet and winning is where the condition of the gambler gets from his betting session. the point is, winning and losing is part of gambling. so, aren't we used to that kind of thing. in gambling, where luck or victory is an expensive price that is quite difficult for us to get in each gambling session.

Logically, if all gamblers had 80% winnings, then no one would be willing to become bookies. or we can say, every casino will suffer a big loss. for me personally, losing is a natural thing in gambling. but to avoid defeat, we can use what we have. I mean, not that we gamble to lose. therefore, we must use such means or methods. at least, that's ideally rather than blindly gambling. because I mostly bet on football, there are several ways to minimize losses. in a way, involving extensive knowledge, experience and insight. that way, we have a pretty even chance to win.

But yeah, we agree with what you said. for most cases who become gambling addicts, usually they will do everything they can just to fulfill their desire for satisfaction, even though each session ends in defeat. Some compulsive gamblers, usually don't think rationally, even when they don't have any money in their pocket, they will try to get it. in cases like this, they sometimes regret what they have spent at the gambling table. but will come back again, when they have money in their pocket. yep, I hope you, me, we are not that type of gambler.

[seleme]

Feeling remorse is the result but the reason can be different since the gamblers have different mindsets. Gambling is there for only fun and if you feel remorse after losing big it means something is not right with that person. Feeling regretful is ok as well, you can win or lose instantly but not guaranteed to have only winnings on gambling. I advise learning to master your mindset as a gambler who regularly plays and feels different useless emotions, IMHO.
