The worst situation you're in that you regret that you learn about gambling

[AmoreJaz]

Gambling has taught me how to keep myself calm in the face of loss and how to be patient and deal with situations. Moreover, gambling is a good way to spend free time in a lonely life where one can have a bad time even without a companion. Moreover, through gambling, we want to assume a positive thing, such as if we face a loss in a business, we get an important comfort or education from gambling to be patient and continue the business by recovering the loss from the business without being disappointed.

Really you have found a good side in the gambling that you play and I think you have been able to gamble well and also really enjoy every game you play, if you can gamble like that, of course you are very good at managing your emotions when gambling and also You will not experience addiction from the gambling you play.

In my opinion, it is very rare for people to enjoy gambling as you say, because mostly I see everyone who gambles greedily so that they experience a lot of losses from the gambling they play and will have financial difficulties and what is worse is that they are more concerned with the money they have. they have on gambling rather than using it for the needs they need.

'
not many people can handle themselves in front of their games. usually, they will follow their own desires and so they most certainly spend money beyond their budget. but if you can handle yourself, and still know your limits then, that's good for you, right? you don't have to worry about the possible repercussions because you are staying within your means. and if you keep on such track, you will indeed enjoy the fun side of gambling. and that you will appreciate its existence because you can see the good side of it in terms of entertainment.

I have a close friend that spends around 20/30% of his salary despite he needs that money maybe for an holiday or just some health issue. Of course he is not earning one euro from this activity.
I don't like that he is wasting so much money on this activity but it seems kind impossible he can change his aptitude... "I will get a xxxx euro win" .... I think this is just a mental justification likewise "I continue to bet because I like it...and I can't stop it"
Gambling led people to lie. Not only to other people but also to ourselves.

it is his life and his money, so he can do what he wants to do. but the consequences of course, it is him that can suffer. so let him be. he will learn his lessons in his own time. denial is common among gamblers. but we all know the truth deep inside. if you fail to address such imminent problem, you will be at a terrible situation not only for you but most probably for your immediate family.

When I gamble all my income at a goal thinking that the game is a sure game for me, but with in some seconds everything changed and the bet lost, Which result in me losing a huge amount of money, at that point, I regret ever getting moved in gambling in the first place.

By that time I now recall the warning that is always given for gambling here in the forum which always state that we should be careful about gambling since it can ruined one life or mess you up real bad, this made us obvious to note that you will record alot of such situations and at some point you end up in regretting your actions.

I was talking to a friend who used to be a compulsive gambler and is now a responsible gambler and I asked him what made him decide to be rehabilitated is it because of the money, he said its not.

It was because of the situation that he was in and that a friend asked him to keep his money it was his saving and he was about to buy a new cell and he only needed a week to complete the money and he didn't keep it in the house he might use it so he decided to entrust the money to him because his friend had complete trust on him.

Unfortunately because of his addiction, he was tempted to use the money to gamble thinking that he could double the money and give his friend a share so he could buy a more expensive cellphone, unfortunately, he lost the money and surprisingly his friend showed up and asked for the money the day after he loss the money.

He has no choice but to tell the truth, his friend does not know that he is a gambler so to forgive him for what he did his friend asks him to undergo rehabilitation, he was so embarrassed that he regrets learning about gambling, and thankful that because of his friend he was rehabilitated.

What's a similar case that you're in that made you regret that you learned gambling?

Your contribution is appreciated.

Personally, I haven't experience having worst situation when it comes to gambling but I just want to share the experience of one of my closest person. One of the things I remember is the time when all the money he saved was used up as well as the money for his business because his friends asked him to go to a casino. He admitted to his family that he knows how to gamble but he never thought that he would become addicted to it and lose his hard earned money in just one snap.
He came to the point where he almost committed suicide due to depression and he didn't know where to get money because he had used up all of it in gambling. His debt also increased so he decided to apply for a job in another country. That was his escape. that served as his rehabilitation and until now he has really stopped gambling. His life has improved and he has recovered from the bad situation he experienced. He regretted gambling but he was also thankful because if he hadn't experienced that, he might not have learned from his mistakes.

I have not really been in any situation like that where I regret learning how to gamble. I have seen people regretting and casting blame for knowing how to gamble. I have heard stories like that and have read about situations like that, but I have not been in such a state and will not be in such a state.

A friend (gambler) made a statement one day, and he said, "If you have not been addicted to gambling or you have not actually gambled off what you are not supposed to lose, then you are not a real gambler." To me, that kind of mentality about gambling is unwise because real a gambler is not even supposed to allow himself gamble with money that was not meant to be used for gambling. If someone practices a compulsive gambling lifestyle, that's when they can be in the kind of situation you described.

One guy that I know is a shoe dealer and has a big shop, but sincerely speaking, his shop has shot down. He was a compulsive gambler, and he was gradually using his business money to gamble, and every good in his shop was just depreciating until there were only a few shoes remaining and he didn't have any money to order more. His life is just reckless, and he is there, sitting at home all day long or being invited by his friends to go and drink.

[bitvalak]

I've never been in that situation. But I have several close friends who experienced something similar to what your friend experienced. In my opinion, the frustration he experienced was quite severe because he used money from several of his friends to gamble without their permission. In the end, this case had to be handled by the local police. They reported him on charges of theft. This is very frustrating for the perpetrator because he did not expect that it would end like this. Moreover, the person who reported it was his own friend. From this incident, everyone can finally learn that gambling addiction is indeed very dangerous for social life when we don't have other positive things to do as an outlet.

I think that we are people who need to learn many things and that we need to live many experiences , therefore we are people who always try to do things and try to be careful to learn, if we do our things and due to bad luck we have lost a lot of money , no It is correct to say or say that having visited the casino because the casino is Just a place of entertainment, where we have all gone at some time and had fun, it is not correct to say that it is the worst thing that has happened to us, in this order of days. We must see the things in the good sense of all this, first, they are experiences that help us grow, if we are in a casino we must know what we are Getting into , it is obvious that the casino will always have the house advantage and they will everything to win, we also have to be clear that the casinos will always be the largest gaming sites in the World.

If we regret losing in the casino, that's fine , I accept it, maybe , when we lose Money it's a difficult thing, in fact, who likes losing money ? I think that Nobody , once the prize will always be ours, we are the ones who make the decisions, if we are in a casino and we start betting in an unstructured, disorderly way without respecting our money it will go away , it is something obvious, it is something that we cannot Avoid , but it is always our fault, because at no time does the casino tell us that we must bet this or that, or that the casino forces us to bet, no, we are the only ones who decide to bet, like bet, When to do it, how much money we should do it and we ourselves know and decide how we are going to play, no one forces us, it is up to us to look for excuses for a loss of bets or something, even so it is not the right thing to do, it is the least thing to do , Blaming the caisno, blaming someone else is not the right thing to do, the fault is entirely ours.

[Samlucky O]

Like I always said I am not a chronic gambler and have not been in such situations, but I have a story related to this where a guy was given money for his school fees for the semester and he didn't comply with it and later he used the money to invest in gambling and he lost the money and he was so ashamed of going back to his dad to request for another one so his dad decided that he should sort himself out and that made him had issues with his academic session that year.

When I gamble all my income at a goal thinking that the game is a sure game for me, but with in some seconds everything changed and the bet lost, Which result in me losing a huge amount of money, at that point, I regret ever getting moved in gambling in the first place.

Betting all your income is decision that is too brave and of course this is not recommended to be done, we have reminded and given advice to each other that you must bet according to you abilities so that you can accept whatever outcome will happen.
You have to understand that in gambling nothing is certain and everything can change in an instant in just very short time, from here you must always be careful and not make the same mistakes or carelessness.
Everything has happened and regretting it will not be able to return your money so what you need to do is forget about regrets and learn from mistakes like this so that in the future it never happens again.
Remember, you must be able to have limits on betting and must be able to accept whatever will happen from the bet.

By that time I now recall the warning that is always given for gambling here in the forum which always state that we should be careful about gambling since it can ruined one life or mess you up real bad, this made us obvious to note that you will record alot of such situations and at some point you end up in regretting your actions.

Hahaha, that normal, you lose control and make carelessness because of the opportunity and belief that what you are betting on will win.
Similar things often happen and are experienced by most gamblers, so what you have to keep thinking about is maintaining financial stability and also maintaining limits so that you can keep them under control.
Sometimes advice is also often forgotten when faced with very interesting opportunity.

Many heads of families in my household say this, Be careful and stay away from gambling, because gambling can damage your mind and create negative behavior. There are several people in my environment who act negatively such as stealing, robbing to get money which they use for gambling and drinking alcohol, drugs and hiring prostitutes. This negative effect often occurs when it comes to the lower classes or the poor, because addiction and the idea that gambling can increase their money encourages them to do anything to get money and then gamble. Maybe it would be different if this happened to someone who had a lot of money and control over themselves.

Every game has its good and bad, unfortunately there is still little control over this so that bad things don't happen and we often concede, that's because gambling is a personal decision whether you want to get involved or not. And all the negative effects also depend on who decides it.

[Mia Chloe]

Gambling addiction is something a lot of people fall into unknowingly to them. Most of the time , they fail to notice Their mistakes and addiction until when it has gotten to the point where so much damage has already been done. As the head of a family gambling is what a majority of responsible bread winners stay clear from because of its effects on the family indirectly.

Most of the time, when parents drift into gambling addiction the kids also end up with a similar fate of addiction or even worse. Sometimes parents cut off gambling in bad situations. Some parents who can't help but gamble try to hide it from their family but unfortunately when the family finds out, it may break them emotionaly.

Indeed gambling addiction is a serious sickness, a problem that will be difficult to control. Even your friends will surely backstab you if you try to fool them and run with the money.
I have had this one experience before where a gambler is giving prizes to those who can answer his trivia after he won a big multi once. But because he is too lazy or maybe doesn't have the time to do the trivias, he passed it to another gambler to do the job. He will pay him, that's their contract and all of it was written in the chatbox so we are all witnesses of their contract.
Now that "should be" trusted member who will do the trivia did it. But the contract was 10 rounds of of $5 each win and yet all he did was one round and run with the rest of the money.
Gamblers will be gamblers, some of them are untrustworthy because they want to gamble more. And I don't doubt that he spent all that money trying to double it. We all tried to contact him, he is definitely online but won't answer anyone. We tried to be optimistic at first that he was just away from his keyboard but 2 days came and no answer.
IMO, I won't trust another gambler with my money, I think that's the best lesson behind that.

Interesting story, there is wisdom and meaning that we can learn from what you wrote from this post. Very lucky, the gambler dared to say what really happened. his reaction was unexpected, his friend asked him to undergo rehabilitation. and as you said, the gambler did what he should have done for his mistake. So, this is the implied meaning of what you said in this thread. besides involving money, trust and friendship.

Well, now we focus on the title of this thread and your question. If I have to remember, there were many situations where I made many mistakes, especially those related to gambling. but believe it or not, I don't regret having learned about gambling so far or as you said makes me regret having learned about gambling. Before I talk in essence, we can first trace the roots of how we got involved and learned about gambling. environmental factors are one of the strong parts that make us gamblers. apart from that, DNA and genes also contribute to making us gamblers.

Well, the opposite question is, what should we regret about the situation that has occurred, as in the case you described. After all, what we or someone does is purely a wrong action and is a mistake. just apologizing is not enough, but what needs to be done is to act and fix it. If someone is aware of this, he will learn a very important lesson in his life, especially when it comes to gambling. there is a lot that can be learned and understood from this case, that actions like this not only harm yourself but also harm those closest to you. at this stage, even though someone is suspected of being addicted, they do not always have to be rehabilitated if they have and gain full awareness of the incident that occurred. learning to be responsible is the main point, which will ultimately form self-control and broader awareness. well, if I had to answer your question. I have nothing to regret about getting to know gambling, because a mistake made me learn a lot about being more responsible.

[Outhue]

I learnt something good from my father, he always told us about how someone else money never worked for him, either in business or in running something, the end result will be bad for him, and while growing up I came to understand that I have the same thing in me.

If I use money that belongs to someone else to invest or do business or runs other thing it always end badly, so someone like me always stay away from borrowing money from anyone or the bank, not even the loan sharks, imagine using such money to gamble? I will definitely lose it all.

I have never found myself in such situation before, I don't even like having someone's money on me, I don't keep such money to avoid spending it and I don't borrow either.

He has no choice but to tell the truth, his friend does not know that he is a gambler so to forgive him for what he did his friend asks him to undergo rehabilitation, he was so embarrassed that he regrets learning about gambling, and thankful that because of his friend he was rehabilitated.

This is more reason why you should only gamble with what you can afford to loss. Gambling sometimes can be overwhelming and if one isn't able to control his habit, it suddenly leads to some irresponsible acts. A gambler that is already addicted will do what so ever to make sure that he is able to to fund his gambling for that period of time he doesn't own a penny. From your story, he should be happy to have a friend who took his reckless act slightly. Some persons wouldn't mind friendship and ask for a refund or report to the authorities. The only thing that might make me want to regret my gambling activities is when I make losses in hopes of winning more. But the urge keeps pushing that you will have a chance. As long as you are able to control this urge, you will have less problems to worry about.

[ethereumhunter]

I'm still lucky I didn't use my friend's money to gamble. That would be very embarrassing because I had violated his trust in me. He was very lucky because his friend forgave him and asked him to undergo rehabilitation. That is what a friend who cares about another friend's problems should do. This reflects that he sincerely wants to accept his friend's apology and asks him to undergo rehabilitation so he won't get into trouble again. He was very embarrassed by the incident, which made him want to undergo rehabilitation. Maybe it made him realize he might get into an even worse situation if his friend didn't want to forgive him. It's hard to find a friend who cares about his friend's problems and even helps him to heal from his gambling addiction problem.

[Suzume]

In the gambling journey everyone has faces worst situation because. At the starting emotion work. You can't countrol it as a beginner. That's the reason when you are making profit in some time you play all winning in one bet for profit. Or one thing happened when you are continuously making losses then you are not stopping you continuously bet and end of time your capital is zero.

selling valuables such as gold, motorbikes and even family vehicles that I once sold when I experienced dark gambling in my past which made me realize that I had become a bad gambler and think about how to heal myself from all of this.
but I am grateful that from the bad things that I experienced, there is a woman who is now my wife, she is a helper and is like an angel destined by God to help me get out of the dark zone and I am very grateful, even though I have lived through a very bad past, there is someone who is very well lead me towards a better path.

if I remember the past, maybe I will really regret it, but after everything gets better, I can return everything I lost in the past and like the story you said, this is almost similar to what I experienced, getting benefits even though I had experienced very bad gambling.

I'v not been Ina situations that called for so much regrets coming from my gambling habit because I try to make sure I don't allow it get to the point nof addiction such that I will not be disciplined enough to not touch funds kept for a project and hope to double it by using it to gamble so basically I just restrict my gambling to my monthly budget.

There have been a time I was in a little mess resulting from gambling but it was such that I have to put up so much regrets ever knowing how to gamble because a few times I've also benefited so well from my gambling profits except for a few losses which is common amongst gamblers, there was a time I had a spare cash and of course that's what I use to gamble, I don't use my funds for something else to gamble, so I placed a bet with the spare cash and it wasn't long a need came up and I taught of it that I would have met that need immediately only if I had not used my spare cash to gamble.

How do you blindly trust your money to a friend, but don't know that he is a gambler? It feels a bit like he didn't know his friend well enough and should have never given his to him. In my opinion friendship and money is not a good mix and I would just avoid such a situation in the first place. Better to just keep our own money and make the purchases we want to do. When it comes to gambling and lending money I only give 50 euros to a friend as a one time loan. This is mostly for him to enjoy a night together at a casino and let him at least play a few rounds. More money than that seems unnecessary and will only lead to problems when trying to get money back the next day. 50 euros never hurt and everybody has it his wallet, so when I see my friend the next time there is no excuse to pay me back. This also goes the other way round, after going broke I will only ask for 50 bucks. That's totally enough for a rebuy and leaves enough rounds to play with the minimum buyin.

Well to be honest I don’t disclose me of gambler to my friend or even to my family because the culture in my country is harsh in regards with gambling. You will receive too many criticism that even makes you feel like a trash so we have no choice than to make it a secret instead of disclosing it now that gambling can be do online.

It’s not necessary for a friend to know everything because there are things that needs to be kept privately or else your life will be an open book to anyone. I will understand how easy to trust a friend especially if you are with them for a long time.
