Do you regret also for ever knowing about gambling?

[Dewi Aries]

So, I don't agree with your friend who blames the other friend for introducing gambling to him because he had the choice to not gamble and say no to the friend when he asked, I'm sure he didn't drag him into the casino forcefully and make him gamble by force and it was his own choice to do that at the end of the day.

A person who blames others because he become a gambler is like a child. He knows that gambling don't give him winnings everytime, but because his friend played and won, he wants it. But if his expectations don't match, he blames his friend, that's a mistake. Because everyone can offer anything, but the decision comes from themselves. He should be aware of this.

Of course, I would probably say the same thing that they are nothing more than children who are far from mature and don't seem to recognize or have any sense of responsibility for the activity they are doing. I think it's ridiculous to blame other people for your losses when you know from the start that gambling is all about winning and losing, as I said earlier that there's no sense of self-responsibility in that person.

Everyone gets different results when it comes to gambling especially the amount of winnings, if you lose but your friends win it means you are far from lucky and vice versa, and also in my opinion it is unethical if you come just because you see your friends win even though this is basically what always invites many people to get involved, but on the other hand the problem is that if you already know that gambling is about winning and losing then you shouldn't blame others for your losses, so understanding can make them come to their senses and that's what I think should be emphasized.

The problem is with your friend, I mean why did he ever blame other people when it is his fault that he acted like a fool, wasting his money and lost it by gambling? Right? maybe he was annoyed with others that’s why he blamed them, or maybe he encountered conflicts with his fellow players. We don't know the situation either.

Of course, gambling has a huge part in our lives, and we are making it a habit. When you gamble there are a lot of obstacles that comes your way, like when you don't know how to balance and don't know how to limit your bankroll, I mean how much can you bet for gambling? Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. It’s a 50/50 situation and if you’re willing to risk then go ahead. When you enter there is no turning back, so yeah, I did not regret knowing about gambling cause without it, there would be no wise people playing with their tricks on the planet. 

That's the problem, he shouldn't blame other people for his own mistakes, it's true that gambling was introduced to them by their friends when they often got together, but isn't that normal? A friend definitely has a story and shares their experienced, it may include gambling, but that doesn't means they have to play it too, and it doesn't mean they have to gambler. If they are not prepared for the risks, it is better to avoid it because gambling is full of the risk of losing.

Yes, it's true that gambling plays a big role in our lives. If we don't use it excessively and don't turn it into a habit, we will avoid the risk of addiction. When you decide to gambler, you have to be prepared to accept the risk of losing, maybe the winnings are only 10%, the rest we will experience losses, the most important thing is that we don't regret getting to know gambling even though it has bad impact.

You better be serious with your life, plan as much as possible and stop gambling with it. I must say I was surprised that someone would say that life is a gamble, how? Maybe you want to say that life is uncertain, they are two different things. If you follow the right procedure, pray and get serious with your life, then you will get to make it and not gamble, which is different from those who are just gambling with their lives. As for gambling, it is indeed an opportunity but must be carefully pursued so that in search of the opportunity, the life of the person will not be in regret. I have pondered many times about the OP itself and I wonder why an adult should regret gambling if the adult himself is a smart and wise person. No one who engages in gambling smartly will ever get to regret it, after all, if they do not make money from it, they get to derive the fun and will not lose so much at the same time by being calculative and budgetary.

life is a gamble, that's very true and there is nothing different about this concept, like when you build a business, initially you are very sure that your business can be successful, but in fact your business cannot be successful within a year and you are constantly trying to build and promote your business. and in 3 years your business can be successful and become very big but in 4 years it turns out your business is bankrupt. well, this is what it means to live like a gamble, even if we live how long we will never know, the most important thing is just to survive and try to live.
just like gambling and I take an example from poker gambling when an ordinary gambler wants to become a professional gambler and continues to try playing poker even though he always loses but he continues to learn from his experience to correct every mistake and strategy or tactic used and finally he can find out all the ways to win and finally become a professional poker gambler and take part in every poker tournament and win the tournament and get rich from the poker results.
with these 2 scenarios you can take the positive side and you can also see the similarities between life like betting and also gambling is the same only the concept may be different but if you take it from the positive side it is the same.

and with all this we can take something important that whatever the condition and situation, gambling is a choice that we dont need to regret or blame other people when we experience the bad effects of gambling because we have chosen gambling as entertainment but it is our own fault that sometimes we lose control which leads to losing a lot of money and I support your opinion about limiting the budget is very important so that there is no regret when you have a losing streak.

[GideonGono]

Believe it or not, I don't regret knowing gambling cause it taught me some lesson in life.
How to control my greed and when to quit in order to win.
It also helps me when I feel lonely, it was my way to enjoy and forget some of my problems or you might say emotional support.
So I don't ever regret knowing it, even though I lost some money from gambling.

[adzino]

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 don't think there is anything to "regret" to know about gambling. I mean, everyone takes some sort of risks or "gambles" in their. Be it money, or something else, but they do gamble. And I don't think in the current age/time, there is no way you "cannot" know about gambling. Even video games now a days promotes some sort of gambling through "loot box" microtransactions. You know about different kinds of "crime" but you never commit those crimes. It's the same in the case of gambling. There is nothing to "regret" about as long as you know how to control yourself and not affecting others. If you think gambling is affecting you, then go get help.

That's nice. Optimism. And I agree with you.
Let's also look at the bright side and what gambling made us learn about life. Not just controlling greed but controlling all your emotions. When you lose, you tend to get angry with yourself and somehow pass that anger to other people, most of the time your family. How we control that anger so that we would not affect other people is an act that is not easy to do. If we can do that then somehow we become a better man.
The same when we are winning, we cannot be too excited with our profits or else we might end up spending the money while our brains are in ecstasy.
We make mistakes when there's no control and gambling can overflow us with emotions that need dominance over it because those emotions once they are not checked can wreck our whole life and that includes breaking our relationship with our families.

-snip-

Well, I don't go for what the majority talk about even though I have seen many people like myself refuting the claim against what you are driving at, nonetheless, we should take it as we like, but as for me, life is never a gamble even though some people gamble with it. Like the narration you just made, fine, you might say that there are things of life that you are gambling about if it will work for you or not, but as similar as it is to what you term gamble, it's accurately called uncertainty, and truly, there is no certainty in life. Therefore, I would rather not gamble with my life but always try my luck even has grace and fate plays their lots in it and even as I do what I believe is right with it. Also, you will certainly not gamble with your life if from the beginning you have good and wise parents, who can cover up for you and guide you right till you become an adult. And by virtue of which you were well brought up and nurtured and you take it from there, following your good path in life as it should be, even as you brilliantly and creatively approach matters. Don't tell me such like that will be gambling with their lives, they are doing their lots reasonably even as they face the uncertainty (life).

There are paths you take in your life that will land you into nothing but success, are you telling me that gambling has a certain path to winning? I guess No, you can only succeed in life if you gamble it only if you are lucky. And like I used to say, in trading, in business, in career and many lots of them, people can also gamble, that is where the ill part that confuses you comes from, and that is where you are driving at if I must say. But should everyone follow that part where they are rather not sure and passionate about and waiting for success to come from it? I will not do that, even though it works for some people under luck, I want you to know that that's where the gambling in life comes from. But for those who are so serious with life and approach it carefully and wisely, they will rather continue to do what they want and that which is right in the bid for an expected end. While others will just be gambling with their lives and waiting for the outcome of what life tossed at them. The choice is ours, and as you can see, fine, people will gamble with their lives, but others will not gamble but "nip it in the bud" as it should, even as the future is uncertain, yet "they do what should be done and how it should be done". That's no gamble, my friend, yet the outcome could still be uncertain. There is a difference here.

Same here! I always say that I don't regret knowing gambling because If I hadn't tried it, I might have been able to keep my mindset about wrong information about gambling. It really taught me a lesson and If it weren't for gambling, I wouldn't have learned the important things I should have known and been aware of like the importance of having a self control, financial budgeting and not being addicted into it. I didn't get to the point where I blame those who taught and brought me on the path of being a gambler because in reality, we have our own decisions and actions in life.

You are a wise gambler, not gonna lie. Gambling can indeed teach valuable lessons in self-control and discipline. Knowing when to quit, setting limits, and managing one's greed are essential attitude. Learning to resist the temptation to chase losses or overextend oneself financially is a valuable life skill. Wise gamblers engage in gambling activities to have a form of entertainment and a temporary escape from life's challenges, just as people turn to movies, books, or other hobbies.

Gambling can also be a social activity that provides an opportunity for interaction and connection with others. Whether it's playing poker with friends or elses, the social aspect of gambling can contribute to a sense of camaraderie and shared experiences. It's advisable to approach gambling with caution and acceptance of the consequences. Personal experiences with gambling can be complex, and your perspective sheds light on the multifaceted nature of this activity.

I myself regret getting to know gambling because it has cost me a lot of money in the past days, although now I gamble with a fixed limit only once a week but if you think about it, it feels like there are regrets hahha. I know this is all done by myself and should not be regretted because gambling is likely to experience defeat not victory, although I have had a big win, but that does not cover all my losses,

It's true that in gambling I also learned some things, like what you said, and now I gamble with a fixed limit that can make me control myself better than before. the point is not to regret the actions that have been done because it is basically on your own rights not others.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I say something, we as human beings have to learn to know everything that life offers us, and it doesn't hurt to be grateful to anyone for giving us Information , if Someone took us to games of chance, that is like another world, sports betting also falls into that classification, we are human beings who should always be Pleased, when we think about gambling, casino and sports betting, we should not Regret it because they are experiences that are acquired, that make us have fun, that make us enjoy, so for these things we should not regret it, because as a person we must be very grateful to life for having given us the privilege of being like this and of Having everything at our disposal to do it, the fact that now we have this position a caisno or several, whatever we love, and that things can happen in very different ways because someone went Badly , it is not Andy's fault but Rather the Person's fault that does not involve making Decisions.

In the case of us doing another type of thing with the game , we have seen that there are many people who fall into addiction, but the addiction is not the fault of the casino, but due to the lack of control, due to the lack of controlling emotions , impulses. and everything that has to do with the things of life, and we don't have to blame that on the fact that we found out about the casino, or what would have happened if we didn't find out about the Casino ? They are things that make no sense to me , what happens, happens, and that's it, there was no other way to do things, unless you are thinking about a parallel universe where there are other copines that want to consider it, of course. This goes in another direction of science, but we should not regret the experiences we have lived, nor the things we know, if it goes well for us or better , Always in the majority of cases it is because it was our own decision to go to that instance and on our own risk.

There's no regretful thing that would happen if you are really just that responsible on the things that you are doing or simply you arent that making yourself getting wrecked with gambling due to
bad habits or that wishful thinking on getting rich with gambling which we know that its really that very rare chance or does really need up that extreme luck before you could be able to hit that up.
Regrets would only be happening on the time that you have struggling with those financial hurdles and challenges but if you are still in control towards yourself in speaking about gambling then you wont really be putting up yourself on great trouble. There are really just those people who are really that not be able to control up their emotions and this is why it do really lead up to disasters.

[Lucasgabd]

I don't know about other gamblers but there are sometimes that I regret why I ever involved myself with gambling, usually when I make crazy loses that I didn't actually plan for. I'm not an addict but we all know that even as a responsible gambler, there are times that you'd just go off your usual gambling ways and start gambling wild, this doesn't make you an addict though. So whenever I find myself in this state and then on the process loses a huge amount, I usually start regretting the reason I learned how to gamble.

have you ever lost money you couldn't afford to loose like getting a loan to gamble or something like that?
this is probably the most dangerous behavior
otherwise your max loss will be the amount you deposit in the platform, could be bad but not so hard to avoid ruin with a bit of self control (I know that this is the tricky part)

Gambling is an activity that involves losing certain amount of money and the percentage of loss is always greater than the results that can be obtained, you are aware of this and still decide to gamble.
There is no need to regret what you have lost from gambling because it is clear that you are gambling according to your own wishes or decisions, so whatever risks and consequences occur, you must accept them as much as possible.
Regretting that you can't change the situation or return what you lost, the only thing you can do is actually use money within certain limit that you can afford to lose.
That way, there will never be any more feelings of regret or disappointment over what happened during your gambling session.

That is the positive side of gambling that you can get if you are willing to learn and understand well what the real definition of gambling is.
Self-control, financial management, feeling more patient and of course you can indirectly have all of this within yourself as time goes by.
Just do what makes you happy and determine what you should be able to do and don't have too big hopes from gambling such as making money.

[JahriMeayer]

Gambling is kind of thing that actually don't need to teach anyone, anyone can found it automatically by seeing others doing betting locally or by seeing advertise on tv or YouTube,even there are many websites that redirect you to gambling websites without your permission. So your friend could know about gambling through such process, then he'll blame to whom? Any why should blaming each other when it totally depends on a person how he wish to manage this thing. Now he is mature enough and need to learn how not to addicted with it but use it for fun or totally avoid it if necessary. Blaming other is kind of lame excuse & lame trick to hidden his own faults

I think 70% of most gamblers would have done something like that, or I mean using loans as an alternative when they run out of money to gamble and then going back to hope for the next session using the money from the loan, of course I would agree with your idea that this is not the best alternative when running out of money but I think this is more referring to the occurrence of many new problems that are certainly dangerous for their own lives.

If there are some of them who always can't change their point of view and approach to gambling then obviously other bad effects will follow such as experiencing a lot of pressure to stress and depression due to debt, one that can minimize everything is just self-control and some limits as you said but unfortunately it is quite difficult to be able to implement that if from the beginning they come with the wrong mindset and goals on gambling.

One shouldn't really blame someone for his own doing. If you are influenced by an acquaintance or a close friend to gambling, or even a relative, it's not their fault that you let yourself be involved too. After all, it's still your own doing if you will give in because the final decision is still yours to execute. You can be disappointed and be sad in the beginning, especially if it doesn't turn out the way you expected it. You can even feel some madness in your heart, but remember that you should not direct your emotions to the person who introduced gambling to you. Unless of course, if that someone forced or tricked you so you will play and bet.

I advise you to examine yourself and learn lessons. I know you are not a gambling addict, but sometimes, we get caught up in this gambling. I was once like that; I won money, and my greed arose. I kept playing, and I lost. Now I will rest for an hour to relax my mind.
I will not regret knowing about gambling. I will make another appointment to explore this game. Once I have strategic experience, I believe my winning rate will increase.

I am happy that I was introduced to gambling and that i have also seen the bad side of gambling which has made me to understand how to gamble responsible. We shouldn't blame anyone for our weakness, so that we can be able to work on our weakness to be better tomorrow. U think that your friend is fusturated because he thought that gambling is something that he can use to make money and he became so addicted that he has even forgotten that he can come out from his addiction at his own will. Maybe he can't control his emotions. OP, when next you see this friend of yours, you should tell him to stop gambling that he will be a better person but he needs to have that self determination and believe towards this.

Many people cannot or do not want to learn to take risks and do not want to realize their mistakes. These people always try to follow other people's advice and recommendations, and then when they lose money they blame those who gave them advice. I have known such people and believe me it is better not to have anything to do with them. A couple of times I got into trouble thanks to them and now I not only do not give such people advice, but also do not communicate with them at all.
