Do you regret also for ever knowing about gambling?

[0t3p0t]

I personally do not regret knowing about gambling because it has been part of our culture. Though not originally from my country but the fact that gambling taught us lessons and gave us entertainment when there is a time we need something like a pastime.

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.

Is this a personal question? or in general. previously I would say the opposite of what you wrote in this thread, I don't want to judge someone by their assumptions or statements. however, what you share in this thread is something that is normal and probably happens a lot in our social environment. wherever it is, experiences similar to what you describe are common from my point of view. Now we ask ourselves, regardless of who first invited us to gamble, taught us to gamble, or so on and so forth. "Do you regret also for ever knowing about gambling?", the answer is relative and varies depending on a person's wisdom in responding to it.

Long story short, I have known gambling since I was young. In our environment, a game could be used as a betting medium like gambling. Whatever the game, whether it's a type of entertainment card game, even when playing football, we involve betting. I'm not saying that our culture is bad, but this was our reality in real and social life at that time before the internet was as sophisticated as it is today. should I blame him, because the environment I live in makes me a gambler. not at all, even now. Honestly, because that's one of the journeys and twists and turns in my life.

Have you ever regretted it?, regret will always come to us in various ways, factors and situations, most of which are caused by the defeats we have received so far. for me it's normal, because in an instant we will just forget it. for me personally, regret is as normal as I said. we will forget about it, some will continue playing and some will stop gambling completely. no one needs to be blamed, because we ourselves are the perpetrators even though someone taught us.
The point is, if it's detrimental, stop. but if it's entertaining, and provides a little pleasure by taking the burden off, it's okay to spend just as much money as we can afford to lose. After all, behind defeat, there is a reward, right? Apart from the fact that we lose more than we win, it all depends on how you react to it.

There was a regret on me before when I was still actively doing gambling everyday to the point that most of my income where being used as my gambling funds, in short, I was an addict. Today, I can control myself and has a complete perspective on gambling. To be honest, I'm quite grateful that I learne gambling because I gained many experiences, friends, life lesson and the achievement I have in my gambling journey. Let's say that I'm a satisfied gambler that just gamble for fun today, my gambling experience I have for years of doing gambling is now a funny story that I can share with my gambling friends.

Indeed, gambling to most people could be a culture, because they heard about it, growing up. And it's wrong to expect a child who couldn't help but find himself in a society where people discuss gambling, to regret knowing about gambling. It's not his fault and he can't stop them from discussing gambling, hence he'll join them. Nobody who isn't interested in one sport or another. Even if a child isn't interested, his dad would be, and he'll see gambling ads on the stadiums. It's rare to find a person who hasn't heard or knows about gambling. It's quite a huge niche around the globe, as it's corresponding with all world sports. Other than that, the only time regret should creep in is when we join gambling and make mistakes oftentimes. This time, it's under our control. Unlike the above situation, where we couldn't help but know about it.

This time as gamblers, we can control our activities and endeavor not to be carried away by too many gambling activities. However, regretting gambling could help minimize the actions of newbie gamblers. As they'll begin to rethink, their action.

The worst aspect of gambling is, not regretting our mistakes. Although in my previous response, I said that, every gambler is expected to regret gambling one time in his whole gambling experience. Which isn't bad. The bigger problem emerges when the gambler isn't conscious of his mistakes anymore. He's now comfortable with making mistakes in gambling. He doesn't regret it anymore. Such a player will face difficulty in the long run, of gambling. However, not everyone who doesn't regret it, I mean after making a few mistakes is addicted. But, those who continuously repeat the mistake and don't have a remorse, can be considered addicted gamblers.

Let's say that I'm a satisfied gambler that just gamble for fun today, my gambling experience I have for years of doing gambling is now a funny story that I can share with my gambling friends.

Well, our experiences in life will always turn out to be a story we can tell after some time, such stories can be in a negative or positive light, it can be something or a story very serous and told for others to learn something from, and it can also be a funny experience which we tell as a joke for other to have a good laugh.

So, what ever our experience is like, fact is, if we are alive and have come out of it, then, there is no need regretting anything because, that happened for a reason, and that is possibly for us to learn, and as well teach others, remember, without experiences, people in the world will but void or denied of certain levels of knowledge, so for such knowledge to be learned and passed on, some chosen persons have to go through the experience, learn from it and teach others.

When I learnt this that I am sharing, I stopped regretting most of the things that happen to me, or some mistakes I make, I just simply learn from it and move on, and possibly teach as many many willing to learn, this I do instead of living in regrets.

Your acknowledgment of gambling's strong presence in your life is nuanced without condemnation or endorsement. Though sensible, let's push the envelope. As you say, the normalization of gambling shapes views and attitudes. However, shouldn't we critically evaluate our cultural norms, especially when they may promote unhealthy habits? Accepting gambling as part of life's cycle is understandable, but does it sound like resigning to potential harm? You say remorse is a brief emotion that fades into indulgence or cessation. However, isn't regret, especially after gambling losses, a key sign of trouble? If we're losing more than winning, doesn't that indicate a system flaw? It's about recognizing the cycle of fleeting highs and unavoidable lows, not just responding to losses. You say no one is to blame, but isn't personal responsibility important? We chose to play, therefore shouldn't we consider the ramifications for ourselves and others?

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 experienced defeat in gambling games but this does not make me regret learning about gambling, because in my opinion gambling games are like that, there are times when you lose, there are times when you win and I know the risks I will take. face in gambling games. That's what makes me feel that until now I don't have any feelings of resentment or even hatred because of gambling, in fact for me gambling is entertainment when I'm lonely.

I'm sure those who regret it because they have experienced losses that ultimately had an impact on their lives. They should realize that this is not because of gambling but their own fault for not having a strategy for gambling and not having basic knowledge about gambling games.

Never forget that gambling should always be done so carefully because it may quickly turn from a fun pastime into a bad habit.

Heres a fictitious situation: Consider a person who initially views gambling as a harmless pastime. At first they are in charge, but with time the excitement of gambling takes precedence over their capacity for reasoned decision making. Though they are actually falling into addiction, they may think that they are just one tactic away from victory. Rather than demonstrating ignorance, this tale highlights how alluring gambling can be.

The narrow line separating occasional gambling and addiction must be observed. To promote responsible gambling, one must have a thorough grasp of both the game and oneself. Balance, self-awareness, and identifying the warning indications of problem gambling are key.

At first impression, who could imagine that the simple fact of knowing something has potential of awaking so many regrets in someone? To know is directly connected to knowledge, which in theory is a good thing. However, I can't deny there are things in life it's preferable to not know, as they bring a lot of suffering and its negative consequences for ourselves.

Maybe for you it's not especifically gambling, as it's not for me. But I can think about something else called love I prefered to not have known because my experience with this was bad, so I put myself on someone else's shoes who regrets about knowing gambling and I understand them. If we could go back in the past and avoided these things maybe there wouldn't be so much suffering in the present moment.

On the opposite, we can also think these obstacles in our ways are important and necessary so we can grow as individuals. These are challenges we have to face in order to learn something new and become stronger subjects. To overcome a challenge is always more honourable than not even knowing the challenge at all...

I don’t really understand what you mean by gambling being part of your culture, seriously, I haven’t heard it before because I don’t know how gambling will be part of your culture. Gambling is a very interesting activity if you are gambling to have fun, but I don’t think it’s always interesting for people that are desperate to make money from gambling because they don’t gamble for fun sake, they gamble just because they want to make money, which has affected lots of people and also affected the perspective of people in society towards gambling. Gambling is supposed to be what gives people joy, but as we can see, it’s now giving them sadness, just because they are desperate to make money from it.

Maybe he pertains with some gambling type of games or something that it is really  that correlated into it on which it is already that been part of their culture on having this type of gambling or betting.
Ex. Cockfighting on which this might not really be that too popular but since there are corners of the world on which there are things which arent been known but its there and existing.
This is why we cant really be able to make up some conclusion that it wont really be something that in connected with cultural things on which there are really things which people
do really have that kind of impression. For the question if i do regret about knowing gambling then there's nothing we do need to regret if we are really just that
responsible on the things that we are dealing specially with gambling.

Basically, reality will always come at the end, and all gamblers can feel that way for the inadvisable actions they have already done at the beginning, but it doesn't matter my friend if you are now able to fix everything and make the experience a very valuable lesson that you experienced, don't be too protracted because however there will always be wisdom for the events of the bitter experiences that have passed.

It is true and I believe that the real change will really happen if an addict has reached the level of consciousness by experiencing a very bitter event in their gambling involvement such as maybe running out of all the assets they have or maybe the destruction of family relationships. That is why it is always difficult to give advice to addicted gamblers with the aim of helping them get out of the addiction zone, although it is good but it cannot fully work well, because addicted gamblers are already very difficult to accept advice from others, they have their own beliefs that cannot be contested, and in my opinion only a bitter event that can make them feel traumatized can make them reach the point of awareness for change. I'm glad you've managed to reach that realization and I hope you can continue to be consistent with applying that perspective.

I personally do not regret knowing about gambling because it has been part of our culture. Though not originally from my country but the fact that gambling taught us lessons and gave us entertainment when there is a time we need something like a pastime.

But you should not gamble too often to avoid losing money. Even though it is part of our culture, we still have to control it. Maybe you have seen how many people end up becoming addicted to gambling.

It all started with gambling with a small amount of money. Gradually, they deposited more money because they had experienced more losses than before. They want to recover their losses so they have to deposit more money. But it doesn't work out as they expected because all the money will be lost and they will find it difficult to recover their losses.

Indeed, gambling can provide entertainment, but it depends on how you treat gambling. If you can use gambling well and correctly, you can get and feel pleasure. If not, you will only get problems.

[Docnaster]

It is when someone is not doing better than yesterday that they will begin to regret knowing about gambling. Anytime anyone begins to regret knowing about gambling, the best thing to do is to quit gambling because it is not doing great for you. Do not live in regrets because the most important thing is healthy living and not necessarily how much anyone made through gambling.
I have seen a friend who regretted knowing about gambling because he used his two years school fees to gamble and when it was time to graduate, he wasn't graduated because of debt.

Just be responsible and gambling can be fun.

It is the act of being responsible that is always the problem in gambling, if everyone is responsible, there won't be problems of gambling addiction and the rest of them. So, responsible gambling is the key of everything.

[cafter]

Not exactly like this, but it happened to me there was a site there i was earning something good from completing surveys but there is also a little casino were we can gamble with our hard earned crypto.
it was fun then when I many times start playing with small amount but made it very big but in last lose it all,  I don't publicly blame the site or situation because they do not told me to gamble.
but I many times say in my mind that it would have been better if I didn't known about gambling and these sites, because of this I started gambling on other casinos.

[Hispo]

I don't think I regret knowing about gambling, because of the familiar history which there is behind it. I come from a place where people used to gather around and play bingo at dusk every weekend. It was a social activity where people and adults partook. I have not abused the things I have learnt about all this and I try not.
However, if there are people out there in the world who have suffered several bad experiences because of gambling and perhaps even because the involvement of their parents in gambling, then I would not blame them if they started to regret ever having contact with this world about entertainment and thrill.

In the end, the regret from learning about any particular hobby or activity (regardless of the nature of it) starts when one is irresponsible and abuse of it.

[BitcoinTurk]

I have never regretted knowing, learning and playing gambling and I think I never will. As someone who had a gambling addiction before and then continued to gamble just for fun, I remember that I didn’t regret knowing, learning and playing gambling in any way even during the period of my gambling addiction.

Although I claim that I have no regrets during the period of my gambling addiction, I have always been someone who enjoys gambling and has fun especially during this period. In particular, although I have gambled a little more in the this year than in previous years, I have never regretted this situation.

[topbitcoin]

I don't regret it, and why would I regret something I love. And when I experience a loss, I consider that it is a risk that we will inevitably take.
To prevent regret when gambling, I always try to bet an amount that I am prepared to lose. Because what makes us regret at the end of the game is because we often lose which results in significant losses.

And on the other hand, I don't really have "more expectations" about gambling, that gambling can give us instant profits.
Because if we "over-expect" gambling, even if we win, it can still cause a feeling of regret. Regret why I didn't double the bet, maybe if I doubled the bet, I would get a bigger win than I got now.

[rachael9385]

I don't regret ever knowing about gamble because it something that has been so popular to everyone and gamble can be cool mostly when we do it in a very good way and not just run into it because it's fun or part of money making.
However, I don't gamble for fun because there is no essence for me to do so and still I am not an addict.
The only gamblers that will ever regret knowing gamble is those that have already become an addict and it's just that.
In most cities, gamble is well know and recognized, both the government and other top officials recognize betting.

[vs2014]

In fact gambling is a form of personal freedom so if you gamble every day with your own money there is no reason for us to stop you. But there are some people in the society who do not like gambling and they hate all gamblers. On the other hand by gambling people are tempted to double their money so here comes the profit which is why we gamble. Besides now you don't need to go to the club to play gambling because you will get online gambling services. For me online gambling is more popular because it can be played in secret and people in society including my family don't know about it.

[erep]

Everyone who is not a typical gambling addict will definitely have the same answer that they do not regret getting to know gambling because they already have the knowledge to manage the risk of losing and they gamble with limited funds and are ready to lose. However, they are addicted gamblers who are detrimental to financial management funds and they also experience depression if they experience high losses, so limit your activities in gambling and if you think you are gambling without control then you must anticipate to overcome before you become a gambling addict.
