Do you regret also for ever knowing about gambling?

[pakhitheboss]

So I was wondering if some folks here too feel the same way or it was just a matter of grudge and hatred for the particular fellow to stir up such arguement.

Do you believe asking this question would help you in stopping your regret? I do not think so and I feel you should stop blaming someone else for your decision. No one forced you to go with your friends and gamble, you took that decision on your own and if someone has to be blamed then it is you for not listening to your inner self when you gamble for the first time.

I never went or was forced by my friends to gamble as it was my choice. It started with the lottery and now It has changed to betting on sports, sometimes I make good money, and sometimes I lose good money that does not mean I should blame others for my actions as it is my choice and my money. I do not hate myself for my actions as I not completely losing my mind every day by gambling daily. Unless there is a big sporting event I do not bet on the sports I like.

No, not really. As long as you treat it like a game and encourage being responsible with your money, meaning not to blow everything at gambling by getting too emotional at your losses, then I don't see a solid reason to regret it. As user @alastantiger mentioned already, no one forced your friend to be involved in gambling in the first place, let alone continue after observing that it was hurting him, both mentally and financially. You can always stop if it's hurting you; it's supposed to be an entertaining activity, not a burden that wrecks you.

If it's causing issues in your real life, then you should quit, and if you're unable to do it yourself, you need to seek help. Addictions are a bitch, and it's not shameful to ask for assistance. The majority of us have probably been in a similar position once in our lifetime, not necessarily regarding gambling.

[Natsuu]

I think it is inappropriate for your friend to blame that other friend that he entered gambling. We've all made choices and blaming others for our actions is a bit like playing the blame game. Everyone's got their own responsibility, he should be mature enough to know that. It's not like your friend was forced to keep gambling, it's a personal choice thing unless he was manipulated or threatened to gamble.
As his friend, the best you can do is to understand him. Maybe it's just his way of coping with the regret and guilt, throwing blame around. I mean, who wants to admit they messed up big time? It's easier to point fingers.

[Distinctin]

Sometimes I regret, sometimes I'm thankful. LOL..

You know what I mean, as a gambler we have some kind of mix emotions depending on the situation, so it's hard to decide when you are losing or winning. As of now, I'm not gambling, or safe to say I'm done for today, so I don't have emotion in me and my statement is currently honest.

So my answer is, no, I don't regret knowing gambling as this teach me how to take risk and manage it. Just pause of a while, look around and see those successful people, what do you see in them? Aren't they risk takers? yes, they are, so in life, if we want to succeed financially, we need to take risk and only in gambling where we can learn that which isn't too costly than starting a business just to learn the risk.

[Solosanz]

I, personally not.

But there are many people who likes use gaslighting to other since he don't want to feel lower or lose, even though they're wrong. Such people is toxic, better to cut off the relationship with them.

People who're regret for knowing about gambling are obviously gambling addicts.

[Hirose UK]

It seems like this is story that provides quite an experience.
But apart from regrets and also the question of what the point of risking money continuously, there is something very regrettable about your friend blaming others people for the problems he is experiencing.
He gambles constantly but doesn't know what the point of risking the money, he has he decides to gamble and gets addicted so that the real problem not about what the point of risking the money.
Maybe he regrets that he was invited to go to betting house when he was in high school, but he has participated in this activity until now so it can be concluded that gambling is his own choice.
Here you should be able to emphasize that he must be able to accept this decision if there are risks and consequences that must be faced.
One more thing that should not do is never blame anyone for whatever the impact of gambling is.
We gamble according to the wishes of our hearts and minds without any coercion from anyone, even though there are other people who invite us to gambling place, but we ourselves decide to gamble.

Revenge and hatred towards other people for what happened is not good attitude and this will only make someone always have bad thoughts towards other people.
Each person must have their own responsibility for every activity they carry out and they must resolve it if problem occurs in the future instead of blaming and holding grudges against other people.

I myself will never regret getting to know gambling and I don't blame other people for my love of gambling because it was my own choice.
Moreover, regretting it will never change the situation and will also not be able to return what has been lost in gambling.

[mirakal]

People who're regret for knowing about gambling are obviously gambling addicts.

You nailed it, LOL.. and that is shameful, because it comes with blaming gambling for their fate.

Actually, people should only regret things if they do some bad things, or what they learn is against the law or practice in our religion, but gambling, nooooo.... This is fun, why would anyone regret knowing it, don't they want to be entertained?

[pinggoki]

Regret's the one thing that I don't want to feel when I do things and I try my best to be smart on choosing what I want to do so I'm rarely ever regretting the stuff that I've done in my life and suffice to say, I don't think I'll ever regret gambling or knowing about it, I had fun with gambling and the only thing that I've lost in all that activity is my money and money can always be earned so I really don't care too much on what happens to that money and the happy thing about gambling is that I didn't get addicted and I found friends that otherwise wouldn't be known to me if I didn't gamble so yeah, no regrets is probably the best thing to be when you want to live your life to the fullest.

[EarnOnVictor]

So I was wondering if some folks here too feel the same way or it was just a matter of grudge and hatred for the particular fellow to stir up such arguement.

This is totally nonsense at that adult age for still blaming what happened when you guys were so little. It shows the weakness of your friend who adopted gambling since he wasn't able to control or fix himself for these years. He should rather blame himself more, not the person who introduced him to it especially when it was long years ago. I wonder what your friend is doing with his time and life thus far, and since he could pass such serious aggression to his friend after many years, why can't he use the passion of dislike against the habit itself?

There are a lot of influences when we grow up whether good or bad and it must have happened among friends and caused by many friends as well, so if many of them are bad, should I now be attacking all my old friends one after the other when I see them? Definitely not. I would rather find the solution for myself and that ends it. Even as I type now, I remember a whole lot of bad things that friends introduced me to when I was a teenager, but I have never attacked anybody for any reason.

And guess what? None of them (bad habits) are still being practised by me today, which makes me a man and a wise person at the same time. It was easy for me because I always have this mind to only do the right thing, so bad habits do not have that strong root in me. This also goes for anything that is excessive or that makes me guilty or not proud of myself, I always drop them without thinking twice. I am mostly happy because dropping them has always been easy for me and I believe it's better than attacking someone who was as young as myself when he influenced me.

Who knows if the influencer has already stopped the habit? Why then can't the friend stop it?

[gunhell16]

Yeah you read the question correctly.

I got this taught while involved in discussion with some of my friend today, it was round of friends and we were practically catching up after some old memories in high school so discussion led to discussion and the issue of regretting to ever knowing how to gamble came up and believe me it was a very serious issue as one of my friend was practically blaming the other for the whole problem is currently going through right now as he constantly gambles his money away and at what avail? was the question being asked to the friend who actually inviting him to a gambling house during highschool. The matter looks childish  at first because the whole table of friends there were all gamblers including myself but we all never reached the height of complaining or blaming someone for our gambling ethics.

So I was wondering if some folks here too feel the same way or it was just a matter of grudge and hatred for the particular fellow to stir up such arguement.

I have never regretted playing gambling, to be honest, even if other people or my other friends know about it, as long as I don't step on anyone else around me. The only important thing is that we should enjoy what we do when playing gambling.

Just don't let us get addicted to it, and we should also know how to control ourselves in these casino gambling scenarios here in the crypto gambling business.

[Accardo]

No matter how early, regret always comes late. Gambling is one activity that has the highest publicity. From childhood, people hear about gambling or see elderly people winning big in gambling. And the news circulates in the neighborhood. It'll be hard to grow up in a gambling-legalized country, and won't get to know gambling. However, knowing about gambling is also different from engaging in gambling. However, people who participate in gambling and have misbehaved due to their lack of gambling control, then battle with addiction, will regret knowing about gambling. But the common circulation of regrets after losses by a gambler doesn't sound strong to me, as they'll go back to gamble again. Most gamblers only have to regret it for a few days and don't understand why they're gambling again. Hence, when people regret being gamblers, they don't stop gambling in the long run. Staying close to gamblers, even as gamblers, at some point, we regret playing gambling with the money we would have used for some other things. I think it's mainly part of the fun. Humans are like that. After a bad experience, we'll say we are not interested, anymore, in a particular habit. But find our self engaging in the same habit again.

[michellee]

I don't regret knowing about gambling and considering it to be one of the stories of my life. It will make my life story more colourful and can become a story that I can remember later. We don't need to complain about gambling, where we may often experience defeat. It's not only us who often experience defeat but also other people.

And if someone blames another friend for getting them into gambling, they don't need to. It will only cause friction between them and might affect their friendship.

Those who have been introduced to gambling by other friends should already think that gambling can cause the loss of a lot of money. They must realize that they don't need to go too deep into gambling. They must be able to control their gambling activities.

[killerfrost]

I think not and don't blame gambling, because I also think that all problems are decided by oneself, the results reflect one's own ability, not through a field or tool somehow.
And as for gambling, I think it brings a lot of joy to me personally, so I have nothing to regret knowing about it. But there are also many cases where they regret their gambling mistakes. Only when they admit their mistakes will they grow up in life without having to regret other things, not only gambling.

[Z390]

I don't regret, because I knew about the things that gambling can turn one into before I start gambling and to me that's the best thing ever.
If I never knew about the dangers of gambling, maybe I would have been a blind and reckless gambler who thinks he is doing everything right, I am so cautious about gambling because of what have happened to some people in my city and in fact it's a general thing in my country, if you are a gambler it means you are struggling in life and possibly you are someone who is reckless and don't care.
People do tend to stay away from known gamblers because they believe that such people are bad people, it's easier to be a thief or even harmed robber if you start gambling, it's easier to be a big debtor if you are gambling and people won't want to lend out their money to someone like you.
This are the things that known gamblers are facing in my country, but I thank people that are close to me for warning me severally about how gambling can ruin ones life if care isn't taken, that's because there are too many examples in the country, I use this experience to be a careful person when near gambling, I risk only what I can afford and nothing will change this, I advice others to do the same thing because gambling money isn't about sowing anything, but we plan to reap from it, which makes it even more dangerous.

[Renampun]

I have known gambling for almost 6 years and to be honest I have never regretted it, in fact I am happy because I feel entertained by the gambling activities that I do, if I remember, the wins I get and the losses I get are almost equal, I also never incur debt because of gambling so there will never be a problem with that, gambling is not something to be afraid of, just imagine how many people out there have had their lives changed because of gambling so don't involve emotions when playing gambling, you have to use strategy.

[DaNNy001]

I can understand why some gambler would have this feeling of regret, I mean maybe gambling isn't just your thing or you are way obsessed with the habit and trying to force out a win and the results just keep getting negative. Well I for once don't have any regrets ever gambling and I think I will do when I have gone beyond my gambling habit and become more obsessed with it and I definitely don't see that happening so am okay with my gambling as I don't gamble with funds that would cause emotional trauma for me.

[Juse14]

I never regret anything I know and I never regret anything I do, including gambling. Because if we only regret it, there's no point at all, and it's just a waste of time.
Regretting what we once knew and what we did will not change anything and will not bring everything back.

 I have come to think of gambling as part of my fun, so giving up gambling, for now, is something that is impossible for me to do. So the best thing I can do is to stick to the notion that gambling is just about fun, and continue to make sure that whenever I play gambling, I play in a controlled manner with a reasonable amount of bets and do not cause significant losses.

and if you regret what you know and what you do (Gambling), there are only two choices, you either choose to abandon the activity, or change the activity for the better.

[livingfree]

I think that friend of yours feeling is valid. That's what he think so we can't invalidate what he feels and how he ended up with that. But, instead of blaming gambling, he has to blame himself for choosing and getting into it.

Because we're all free to make our decisions and these decisions have different results so, if it's a good result then I doubt that he'll blame it.

Anyway, for me, there are other important matters to blame than gambling. I just don't blame thing when I've done it willingly.

I've never regretted ever knowing about gambling, even though if you make calculations about the percentage of wins and losses I have a higher percentage of losses. Whatever we do, of course there will be pros and cons, I took a lot of lessons in gambling, that's why I don't regret it. One thing that annoys me about myself in gambling is being too greedy, even though that's not how gambling works like the motto on Stake.com is "Play Smarter".

[moneystery]

why regret something that has entertained me? by gambling i can get entertainment and relieve my fatigue. even though there are times when i'm quite upset about gambling a lot of money and losing a lot, it doesn't make me regret why i got into gambling and playing at it.

even to the point of having to blame other people for my gambling? why am i tired of blaming someone for my gambling? that's not my style. i understand that i gamble because i am interested in doing so and it seems quite exciting, so i do it because of my own will, not because of other people's influence.
