Do you regret also for ever knowing about gambling?

[piebeyb]

Everyone has a different view about the title of this thread, but personally I don't really regret getting to know gambling even though I have experienced defeat when I recognized gambling in the past when I was still young and I know that losing is part of the risk of gambling, everyone actually they be aware that gambling has big risks in it, not just talking about how to get money.

But people are too focused on looking for a win and don't really understand the meaning of the risks of gambling. Since then I have come to understand the meaning of gambling better, that in fact it is just an entertainment game for us to find fun in the online world and relieve boredom, so I always gamble on it. weekends just to entertain yourself from the boredom of working on weekdays.

Blaming other people for the bad problem of gambling is childish, unless your friends always accompany you when gambling which makes you continue gambling and even become addicted and you can just blame your friends.
And most gamblers definitely started with friends, and I also found out about gambling from my friends. But I don't blame them even though I often lose, because I have learned a lot about how to gamble responsibly and you have to be aware of this. Don't just play, you also have to study the problems you face and you have to learn from your experiences and mistakes to improve and get to know gambling well so you don't gamble excessively and don't blame other people.
Remember that responsible gambling is key, and if your friend is facing a serious gambling problem, it is important to seek help as quickly as possible.

Yeah you read the question correctly.

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.

In life, we can learn a lot of things but we decide, what to include in our lives, if you don't want gambling in your life then you decide that you don't want it and not blame people who introduce you to gambling.

If you're living in a country where gambling is legal, you will eventually learn about gambling it could be by yourself or somebody else and when you're losing a lot it's not right to blame people who introduced you to gambling, but what if you won a big amount will you give a big portion to people who introduce you to gambling, will you do that every time you win or lose.

Once you are playing it's your decision you should be the one responsible for all your actions, other people have nothing to do with your decision, be mature and man enough to your decision when it comes to gambling.

[AicecreaME]

Back then, at some point yes, I did regret knowing how to gamble. I was naive and stupid at that time to ride the waves of hype and i feared missing out so it was more of my fault than the person who introduced it to me.

If you are well-aware of the consequences, then you should be ready for it. It also doesn't give you a free pass if you don't know because you can always do your own research so that you can know better. There's no point in blaming other people because after all, it's still your own decisions that will prevail in the end. They were just instruments for you to know gambling and probably how to do it, but they don't have the control over your actions. So hatred and blame should be towards yourself and not others. Additionally, there's no point in crying over spilled milk. Just do better next time and do not be impulsive in making decisions that could alter your future big time.

[Kelward]

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.

It's easier for some people to blame their misfortunes on others, I guess it makes them feel less responsible for their actions that didn't yield positive fruit. How come that among the friends that gambled together, he was the only one that had to blame another person, does it mean that the other friends had not experienced loses? It goes to show the temperament of the complaining fellow, even if it were not gambling, he'd still complain and blame other people for his misfortune. Best thing is for the friends to try and talk sense into him, so he'll understand that as adults we're responsible for our actions, so far we're not forced into what we do.

[DabsPoorVersion]

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.

Getting to know gambling is also another life experience for everyone. Getting a chance to meet other fellow gamblers, have fun together with new friends while playing, and have a fun discussion about different experiences we have in gambling. I don't regret that I learned about gambling, I'm thankful instead as I had the chance to have different experiences in gambling that made me realize many things in life.

The situation with your friend does not make any sense. He's the one who decides with his bet every time he gambles, he was only taught how to gamble but it doesn't mean that person led him to where he is now. His problem is his own, it's the cause of his actions and not the one who teaches him about gambling.

It seems like you came up with a good approach so you don't feel any regret in your gambling involvement and that's very good. Honestly for myself I would not say that there are no regrets whatsoever, I admit that personally I regret quite a lot for getting to know this activity because after all this is a little disturbing my personal finances especially when it was still in the early stages of the approach where I entered with a path that could be said to be quite wrong because it came with the motivation of winning from others, but on the other hand now I have begun to be able to minimize some unwanted possibilities by always being strict in applying the limits that I have.

Now that was the problem at the beginning, people only came because they were tempted by the opportunity to win, they did not really think about the risks that were clearly more likely to occur than victory. And also on the other hand, their main mistake is that they put too much hope in gambling, they think that victory is not difficult to achieve, when on the contrary it is defeat that is easier to occur than victory. The wrong mindset makes them unable to accept the risk of losing and they always end up acting out of control by chasing losses to break even, but it is very difficult. That's right guys, gambling is nothing more than entertainment, that's a strong reason why more lose than win.

Gambling is for mature minds and not for children. We should always take responsibility for our actions and don't blame others for our actions. We might indeed regret our past lives but since we cannot change it we don't have to bother about them. I have no regret about my gambling life because it has not affected me negatively. I have enjoyed gambling and it has not affected me negatively. I still have a good relationship with my mentor in gambling because he taught me how to gamble responsibly and not to gamble what I cannot afford to lose. I don't have any regrets because I have lost and also benefited from gambling.

[angrybirdy]

No, I didn't regret knowing how to gamble because It is one of the reason why i became more strict on handling my finances and it helps me to think carefully before spending money on the things that are not important in my life. I can say that gambling really helps me when it comes to the decision making and that's why I don't regret knowing about it. I told myself that Instead of putting my money at risk, guarantee making money or enjoying my time spent

You have a hate for the guy to blame him on something that he has no influence, anyone you ask about this will tell you that it's not right to blame people who introduce you to gambling you are the one playing it's your money, and it's your decision so you have yourself to blame in case your losses pile up.
Gambling is only for mature people, if you keep blaming people for gambling-related issues, then you should stop gambling it is not for you.

Even regretting it will not return things to the beginning when we were not familiar with gambling. So for me, regret is relative depending on the process, whether it causes you to lose money or whether you are still okay with being able to control your gambling until now. Usually those who regret it are when they were not able to control their gambling and then lost everything, they regret it because they were too ambitious and did not reconsider every decision whatever the risks. Well where do you place yourself is answered by the current conditions.

[Hypnosis00]

I have bad experiences with gambling and sometimes I regret doing it but still, I gamble because I love to do that despite how many times I lose. I think that blaming, regrets, etc... is not necessary for me and it is because it was my choice to gamble and besides, I don't borrow money from anyone nor do I struggle financially due to gambling, I could still manage to handle my emotions and not fall into addiction.

Like some people here, gambling is not a bad thing as it helps to relieve my stress. Just like doing it for my pastime.

[qwertyup23]

I don’t regret ever gambling. I’ve had a lot of fun doing so. Whether I’m up or down money wise is an unknown to me but I don’t ever gamble large amounts so I’d imagine I’m probably +/- $1,000. Given the amount of fun I’ve had with poker nights and sports bets, it was easily worth the price of admission. Just be responsible and gambling can be fun.

I agree with your statement as I also share the same view.

While gambling has produced me countless of losses during my youth, I am still grateful for knowing such act as it taught me on how to be responsible for my finances and expenses. Sure, losing hurts like hell but winning in return is fun. The key factor here is knowing how and when to stop in the event of a winning/losing spree as greed can ultimately cause you to lose everything.

No, I didn't regret knowing how to gamble because It is one of the reason why i became more strict on handling my finances and it helps me to think carefully before spending money on the things that are not important in my life. I can say that gambling really helps me when it comes to the decision making and that's why I don't regret knowing about it. I told myself that Instead of putting my money at risk, guarantee making money or enjoying my time spent

Again, we also share the same view on this post. Gambling, while it may be perceived as both positive or negative, the fact remains that it can teach a person on how to be responsible with their finances, although we mostly learn during our failures and losses.

[maydna]

I never regret it because I know gambling and still play gambling often. I feel that gambling is part of entertainment that uses money, and if we are lucky, we will get the money again. But even though I got to know gambling because my friend invited me, I also won't blame him because this is my own desire. Moreover, I have also experienced victory and still want to get more wins even though it won't be easy for me. I never held a grudge against a friend who introduced me to gambling and just thought it was normal.

[Outhue]

I bet many people have this regrets right now and that's because they are in losses bigger than they have ever won from gambling, many have dreams and hopes on gambling as their sole provider or their means of changing their life but on their gambling journey for few years they have learned that such dream is not always possible for every gambler.

I honestly don't have any regrets, because in my family we hated gambling so much that it's a normal thing for children in the family to get warned especially about gambling, it's like the family taboo, I remember my father always telling us to never be a fan of gambling, because it's the easiest way to losing yourself.

While growing up I found out that they are warning us because of the possible manipulation that gambling has in one's life, it's easier to strongly believe only in gambling and shun everything else out of your life, until it destroys you, but if my old man is still alive today I will like to tell him that I found my own way with gambling, I gamble without it having any bad effect on me, because I choose to be a responsible gambler and anyone can do it too, if they aren't greedy.

There are some people here who blame others for their gambling losses. The one person they blame is the one who taught them how to gamble in the first place. It's immature to hold others responsible for your losses. While we can attribute some blame to them for being a negative influence, if you continue to gamble despite not being influenced by your friend, it is not a valid excuse. If you persist in gambling even when you always lose, it is because you enjoy gambling and it's your fault if you always lose.

Nah I do not regret it at all. No matter if it’s a good or bad experience for me, I would definitely appreciate it. I had to admit though that due to my addiction years ago I’ve lost a lot. I was not disciplined back then when I played games such as crash, roulette, hi-lo, dice, etc.

Even though it was just my extra money, but I spent way more than my usual limits due to the temptation that I have in both winning and losing streaks. It is something that I really needed to overcome but it’s so hard once I am already on a streak getting tempted to bet some more.

Right now it’s all about discipline, learning how to control ourselves and just bet some extra money within our own means and not beyond the limits, then we will be just fine.

I do not find anyone who is regretting that he came to know about gambling. I think it is such common these days that there would be hardly anyone who does not know that gambling exists or who does not know how to gamble.

Yes, people regret that they put their live savings in gambling and lost. Also they regret that they do not have good luck in gambling like other successful gamblers but no one regrets that they know about gambling.

While growing up I found out that they are warning us because of the possible manipulation that gambling has in one's life, it's easier to strongly believe only in gambling and shun everything else out of your life, until it destroys you, but if my old man is still alive today I will like to tell him that I found my own way with gambling, I gamble without it having any bad effect on me, because I choose to be a responsible gambler and anyone can do it too, if they aren't greedy.

Well, when people warn about gambling, they also tell that we need to gamble responsibly and do not blindly put everything in gambling. Now it is the duty of the gambler to keep his mind and eyes open if he wants to gamble. Remember if he takes risk and wins something, the money will be his and if a person does not gamble, again it is his decision.

Gambling is normal, 'discovering' gambling or the ability to spend money on anything good or bad is part of growing up.   Alot of people are not the greatest on controlling their budget but there isnt much to regret because we all have to grow up and earn then spend money in hopefully some productive way.   I include beer drinking and anything similar as productive if its not over done, we should be allowed to spend money on a game or gamble if we decide to.   The main factor is controlling the amounts, too much drinking of alchol is clearly beyond bad it can be lethal and I suppose also gambling could be that bad for some adults also but can we regret that we know about gambling I dont think thats the fault to fix.

[Findingnemo]

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 

A man should own his mistake and face the consequences, blaming someone for his current activity just because he invited him once is his school days to gamble, after all if he is a minor he gambled illegally that is his first ever mistake and he kept doing it until now so its kind of an addiction too and blaming others won't solve anything but will push further into loneliness.
