Committing mistakes helps us to become a responsible gambler.

[Alphakilo]

I will divide into two types of mistakes. The one that is in our control. And the one that is not in our control. It is just like human-caused and nature-caused. The human caused  mistakes are the ones that are totally avoidable and the nature caused mistakes are the ones that cannot be attributed to us.

 Like you already mentioned, chasing losses, going over your budget, deliberately breaking the casino rules are human-caused and in our control. While the those are not in our control like inconsistent game fairness, lack of transparency that leads to confusion, poor random number generation that leads to unfair games outcomes.

Knowing which is which will save the gambler from beating themselves up and them modifying their behaviour to prevent multiple reoccurrence of the human caused error which can be controlled.

Therefore, I would say that we don't have to be afraid of committing mistakes because this also helps us to see things that we need to change and become a responsible gambler.

Mistakes are inevitable and no one plans to make mistake but it is because of risk that mistake happen. So I think the better submission will be that we shouldn't be afraid to take risk but to take a reasonable risk that when it fails we can fall back to correct it as mistake. If you are trying to avoid risk taking then you won't be able to make a difference in your gambling experience. Some gamblers have now become so afraid to take risk because of what they have heard or encountered. They have had bad encounter because they took risk that wasn't reasonable and when it went against them, they regret without understanding their irresponsibility in gambling all that they have with hope of winning.

Human is indeed prone to making mistake due to human error but feeling afraid after committing mistake is normal because it’s a sign that we did something wrong and we need to improve ourselves for betterment.

Being not afraid on committing mistakes will make you human to mistake that will cause lot more of mistake since you care less on doing it. You’re correct that mistakes makes us improved but we are only committed on improving ourselves after the mistakes done is because of the fear we feel during the mistake and we are improving so that we will not feel the same.

Your suggestion is to make a spoiled brat that doesn’t care about mistakes done because they are not afraid on doing it.

It is quiet to see and I believe that all of us commit mistakes, a situation that also changes our gambling approach and behavior.

Whether we like it or not we are bound to make mistakes even if we don't want to make one, because every mistake involves losing huge money, this is gambling the risk is just too high and we are bound to make a mistake it on us on how we treat it to make us a better gambler or to ignore it and challenge ourselves.

Of course, it is not in our mind and we try to avoid mistakes but still, it comes to us no matter what we do. But this thing sends us a message that every mistake we make has a positive result and one thing is that we improve and change our style to a better one. We could just think that we have to limit our gambling time, stop being greedy, and avoid addiction because we already know the outcomes as it happened to us in the past and we don't let it happen again.

I always say in many of my posts easier said than done maybe easier for some and harder for some, we would not have many addicted to gambling if they could follow or learn from their mistakes but the eagerness to win and greediness is within us because we've seen how we will have an opportunity to double or grow their money

Therefore, I would say that we don't have to be afraid of committing mistakes because this also helps us to see things that we need to change and become a responsible gambler.

We should as long as we can change the way we play, honestly I have made a lot of mistakes and continue to make ones it's always a struggle when you're gambling so I can relate to those people who are struggling because I've seen how hard it is but in the end, you should really practice control or you end up always strugglign with your losses. .

If we can learn from our mistakes, we can become responsible gamblers. However, not many people want to learn from their mistakes, so they make other mistakes without wanting to learn. This makes them unable to be responsible gamblers, and they will lose more money.

We really have to limit our time gambling, stop being greedy, and avoid addiction. Only learning from our mistakes can help us become responsible gamblers. Many are unable to go through the process, and eventually, they lose patience.

We have to start with small things, such as reducing the amount of money used for gambling, so that we can learn other things. However, we must be patient in learning to be responsible gamblers. Nothing is instant, and we have to go through every learning process.

There is a saying "I haven't made 100 mistakes, I have found 100 ways that don't work." We all learn through mistakes, but that doesn't mean we should blindly dive into the unknown. First of all, we should research before we decide to do something so that even if we make a mistake, it won't hurt us too much.

Perhaps we can apply this to gambling as well, but I guess just when it comes to bankroll management. In gambling, there is that factor of luck without which we cannot win, so even with all the research and when we make a good call, we can still lose. It's not a mistake, it's just gambling...

[Frankolala]

Making mistake is a norm, but learning from our mistake is what matters a lot. Whoever makes any mistake and did not learn from it will continue to make same mistake over and over again.

In gambling, I will not accept that we make mistakes in placing our bets because gambling is based on luck. The only mistake that I can say is done regularly is chasing of losses and that is done because such gamblers are gambling for profit, and even if you try to correct them that is not how gamble should be done, they will not listen, until they learn a hard lesson.

Perhaps, the saying is not much different from what people often say "failure is the key to success" is that true, perhaps, we often see that those who are successful cannot be separated from the failures they have experienced.

It's the same with gambling, I feel for myself the mistakes I made in betting, of course all of this is to correct myself for the mistakes I've made, so that I can have a chance of winning in future gambling bets.

I remember when I bet on slot gambling, I made bets during the day or night, but never won, it was my mistake and I tried not to gamble at that time, I chose the morning time at 05-06 in the morning, of course I can make a good win, so trying to correct mistakes in gambling might be the best thing for me.

But people should try as much as possible to avoid mistake. But if mistakes happens, it helps someone to learn and become better in life. Some failure can even be a blessing in disguise. Some people may not become successful if they do not face some mistakes. But just like I have said before, we should still try as mush as possible to avoid mistake. Some gamblers will make mistake and continue to make that mistake again and again which is called gambling addiction. That is bad.

Of course, you are right, and that is why some can't even learn even when they know that they are making mistakes and it's not helping them, they continue doing that mistakes and when you tell them, they will say that, it's their method and they do win, so they will surely win and in their eyes, it's not mistakes, although we know that no one is above mistake and that is part of life, if everyone could learn from their mistakes, I think, there won't be gambling addiction as you said and at times in gambling, learning from our mistakes gives us the opportunity to win big.

[Yamifoud]

We should as long as we can change the way we play, honestly I have made a lot of mistakes and continue to make ones it's always a struggle when you're gambling so I can relate to those people who are struggling because I've seen how hard it is but in the end, you should really practice control or you end up always strugglign with your losses. .

Things can't be done too easily and a challenge because I was in that situation also but I believe that if we really want to change, we can still do it even if it takes several times. We just need to influence our minds to think the right thing to do rather than be into greed and addiction.

@OP you need to know if not all people have a growth mindset.

Someone can learn from the mistake they did, but someone can't learn from their mistake, this is because they don't see it as a mistake, rather a superstition. If they're lose streaks and their bankroll are empty, instead of stop, they choose to make a deposit since they believe if they suffered lose streaks, they will win very soon.

So this problem is complicated, not all people are educated and see gambling as an entertainment.

That is very unfortunate and I also see them still doing it repetitively. I don't know what is in their mind and why they don't bother to correct it despite the advice and bad experience. But you are right mate, not all people tend to listen and change their style to make it right. I don't know what to call that person or maybe, he is totally a dumb person who sees nothing due to addiction.

And as many people say, mistakes can be called the beginning of success if someone can correct and learn from their mistakes well, because everyone wants the truth and that truth must be achieved through mistakes or failures to make it better.
The same thing also happens with gambling, maybe the beginning of gambling makes us play without control which makes us play excessively, play with ambition and emotion. And also chasing defeat because we don't accept previous defeats and play again to chase defeat, and over time we can fix all this and realize that it was all a big mistake.
And from all of that we can learn and also correct all existing mistakes to become responsible gamblers and play with full awareness, because playing with full awareness we can have the ability to control all of that.

I know mistakes are part of learning process that we can't avoid all that comes our way. Because no one is above mistake does not mean one need to take things lightly and to do nothing to avoid mistake. As humans we need to learn to avoid some certain mistakes and another thing which we need not take for granted is not to learn from our mistakes and still allows it to repeat again. One thing I observe from many gamblers is that they don't learn from their mistakes but has the habit of repeating their mistakes by playing with amount that they can't afford to lose. I think this is a mistake but some gamblers don't sees it as a mistake but if you ask they would say they are taking risk because gambling is all about risk taking.

[slapper]

Every failed bet can wake you up or dig you deeper. You might learn, but you might also repeat bad decisions. That we always learn from our mistakes? Bullshit. Gambling is especially addictive. Just knowing to bet less or play less isn't enough. You must stick to those restrictions, which is difficult. I support responsible gambling, but using mishaps as lessons? Shouldn't you set restrictions before starting? Consult a specialist for strategic assistance. Build a safety net instead of waiting for a calamity to teach you. Plan and set limits, then follow them. That's how you regulate your gambling, not by chasing losses and hope for the best.

[nelson4lov]

I agree with @slapper. You are bound to repeat the same mistake again even you took notes the last time it happened unless you commit to staying disciplined when a similar situation arises. Mistakes provide a window to learn but it shouldn't be used as a baseline. Sometimes, we can even opt to learn from other people's mistakes and utilize the knowledge on our own end to avoid the mistakes. You don't always have to make mistakes to learn.

[AHOYBRAUSE]

Yeah unfortunately the title is very true.

I did plenty of mistakes, especially when I started using bitcoin several years ago.
Often enough I mistyped the wager amount and instead of for example betting 0.001 I used 0.01, this happened to me like 3 times and every single time I lost for some unlucky reason.

Another mistake I used to make sometimes is not gathering proper informations about games I bet on. Home court advantage is very important at for example basketball but sometimes they play on a neutral venue and this can have a big impact. Of course at the bookie site they don't write it's a neutral court and you just think they play at home.
Made this mistake of not checking in the past but after that I always checked just to be sure.

[bluebit25]

Yep, we all want good things but before we get the good things we have to go through the bad things. With gambling, because I am also aware of my responsibility, I do not want any behavior to lead to things that directly affect myself and those around me.

The journey of overcoming mistakes will definitely make us stronger. Even when I see people who cannot overcome them, I really thank them because they clearly describe their behavior as a warning to every other player. Looking at problems responsibly will help us make decisions within control.

[piebeyb]

Yes, everyone has made mistakes and not only in gambling but also in other matters, but not everyone learns from their mistakes in gambling because the fact that I have seen so far in gambling life is that it is almost impossible for many gamblers to want to learn from their mistakes. unless he really goes bankrupt due to a gambling addiction, so he will gamble more responsibly so as not to make the same mistakes as before, this will definitely be done by everyone, even non-gamblers will also do it.

I have also made mistakes and even an expert in gambling has also done it or let's say a professional in gambling, the point is that an intelligent person will usually learn from the mistakes he made at the beginning, not at the end, so that in the next game he doesn't experience the same mistake or lost badly, lost a lot of money, all gamblers should think like that when they experience losses and mistakes in gambling, what should they do so they don't experience the same mistakes, that's why I'm not addicted to gambling because I learned from my mistakes, which have always considered gambling as a place to find money turns out to be wrong, in fact I think the gambling I play now is only for entertainment. 

[GxSTxV]

Indeed, doing some mistakes sometimes isn't that bad as long as you learn from the experience and never fall into the same mistake again. Learning from a mistake gives you a stronger view and an experience in whatever you've mistaken before giving you the opportunity to master that thing.

In gambling falling in mistakes might cause you some losses such as being irresponsible sometimes not thinking twice before putting a bet for example betting with an amount you can't afford losing, after the loss you certainly feel the consequence of that action because you are going to struggle being a little broke for a while, so after that next time you will bet with an amount you can afford losing.

I think you need to be a conscious person in order to not fall into the same mistake again and instead learn from it, because unfortunately, there are a lot of people who aren't able to learn from mistakes you find them doing the same things over and over. I advise every gambler to not feel bad about doing a mistake and try to translate that mistake into an experience he can learn from.

It is quiet to see and I believe that all of us commit mistakes, a situation that also changes our gambling approach and behavior.

Making mistakes can be of two kind, the ones we will make and then it will turn to favour on us and the other in which we are going to make and tun to a costly one, though there is this chances that we are going to learn from mistakes made previously and with that, we are going to avoid making repetition of that same mistake, though not until we make mistakes before we can turn a responsible gambler, we can always avoid it and still gamble responsibly.

[aioc]

Very true, in gambling, you have to learn from your mistakes there's no place for stubbornness or you are going to lose a lot of money you must know your limitations in gambling and you can only learn those limitations from the many mistakes that you're going to commit.

Yes gambling is never an opportunity or an investment and this is the first misconception of many, It is a game of fun and if you ignore this that's one of the biggest mistakes you will commit in gambling.
