Risk or regret? (2)

[ralle14]

Going through a losing bet will always be more painful for me, even though it's usually easy to brush off one's losses and move on there are a few bad losses that I can always recall.

If I missed out on a life-changing bet, i'd only regret it for maybe a day at most and forget like it didn't happen because it's always easy to assume that you could be in that situation.

Or maybe it's because i've experienced a similar situation back then, but i'd still treat it the same regardless of the winnings.

For me, regret not taking a risk and fail to win a life changing amount is more painful.
Because as time goes by we will forget about our losses on gambling, and I'm sure all gamblers also don't want to remember about that.
But the regret of fail to win big money/life changing money will never be forgotten, we will always remember it - that's why it hurts more than losing because of taking a risk.

but is the opportunity to win a sum of money that can even change your life guaranteed to be obtained? we know that winning in gambling is not certain, let alone winning a sum of money that can change your life (a large amount) but with a small win it is sometimes difficult to get. regret for having done or whatever it is can be forgotten but in my opinion what is clear is that there is no point in regretting something that has happened especially in betting like this it will not change the situation for the better.
I don't think to regret anything, including failing to win big money / money that changes your life. we have to keep thinking ahead because there is no point in remembering it, although maybe occasionally remembering it but don't let it make us want to take revenge and make us bet blindly again. so in my opinion it is better not to waste time regretting it because it can trigger our own feelings and can make us lose control of ourselves. do gambling properly then everything will be fine.

Regret I'd say. Risks is something normal for us really, same with losses. I wouldn't call you a gambler if you haven't lost jack in gambling imo. I'd call you lucky, I wouldn't call you a gambler. But anyway, risk is inherently part of gambling, so a LOT more normal. Regret though, on the other hand, is us avoiding risks, meaning we avoid it because of something. And there's only a couple of instances I'd say where we'd avoid risks in gambling in the first place since it's an activity that involves risk itself, so if I missed a big win because of that then I'd sure as hell regret that.

But well I'd say the level of rewards in the first place is uneven? I mean one side has idk, nothing and the other has a life-changing amount. Ofc I'd regret the one that would change my life.

Considering risk and regret, which do you think will be the most painful for a gambler?

- the pain from taking a risk that they take on a bet and they lose, or the pain from regret of not taking a bet that ends up as the winning option, a life-changing amount?

The regret of not taking a risk is very painful, because many people will agree with me when I say: Failing to make money is almost the same thing as losing it, because if you had risked it, that money would have been yours, but because of a lack of courage, now you lost it. him to someone else who was probably more persistent than you.

However, the pain of losing money is also equally bad.

So, what changes one from the other and is it necessary to “break the tie” on this issue?
Well... as long as you still have money, you can always bet again and have the chance to win again, but if you lose... you won't have another chance.
Therefore, I prefer to be cautious and stay with the pain of regret.

regretting the mistakes that have occurred, maybe it can be forgotten over time, and I think all of us must have other activities that can set aside the regrets that have occurred. discussing risk, gambling is indeed a game that involves risk or is indeed a risky game, and regret is a natural thing to happen because there is money lost or others. I think these two things are interrelated, when we gamble like taking risks even though it is not recommended but the results tend to be disappointing and that can make us regret doing it.

what must be considered is that regret here is useless, in fact I think not only in gambling but there are also other things outside of gambling that if regretted will not change the situation for the better.
but when faced with these two choices I think regret for taking a big risk is the most painful thing, because if with the pain of regret not betting which eventually becomes the choice of victory, the amount that changes life may not be certain. while by taking risks it is clear that we fully hope that the actions taken can result in victory.

[klidex]

I think the most painful part for me is taking the risk of betting and eventually losing because we will lose our money and become very upset there are times when we also regret taking the bet but this is a risk that we must take.
But if we miss the opportunity to get profit I think it is not too painful and I do not regret it too much because I know that things like that often happen among gamblers because it is not their time to get lucky.

[Darker45]

Now, this is a good question! But I guess it's more painful not taking the winning bet than risking the bet and losing. I think this where the saying “It's better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done.” Although this isn't absolute, it may be right when it comes to gambling.

But there are other factors that matter also like when I've already won so much I probably won't regret not betting more even if I could have won it. Or if I have been losing one bet after another but since I believe it's more painful not to take the risk than taking it, I bet the last money that is supposed to be for something else and lost. That would be foolish.

For me it's regretting not to take that risk and then seeing that your supposedly bet eventually won. So it's going to be a big psychological impact on me, as I could have won big already and definitely, there are a lot of what if in your mind.

As compare to taking that risk on a bet and lose, as we all know that once you put your bet, most likely that at the back of your mind, it could end on a big L. And probably you ca live your bet losing, as least you take that big risk on the unknown, but it just didn't work on your end.

Losing and regretting that I have bet I guess is the most painful part. It's a combination of frustration that we can all get and that's the reality. Whether we like it or not, if we're going to analyze each of our situations. The painful part always gets there at the end of our actions. So, regret is always at the end and we realize that betting at the wrong teams and players that we're following and suddenly we lose, that's both painful.

What others are trying to do with this kind of frustration is to recover the losses as soon as possible. But do we think that it's the right thing to do? I don't think so. Chasing our losses still going to give us a mistake that taking risk is still part of it and then if you don't become successful, you know what's next that is coming.

It varies to the situation but both of them are painful. Our actions also depends to our emotions and we can mitigate the impact of these through our minds and how acceptable it is based on how we deal with these frustrations.

[Julien_Olynpic]

There are many nuances in this dilemma that affect our feelings. Much depends on what kind of risk we take - a reasonable one and the prospect of winning is very high or a stupid risk and winning is practically unattainable. This is a very big difference and, by the way, this is quite common in practice. Sometimes if we do not take risks, we lose the opportunity to conduct a very valuable experiment and enrich our experience, which will be useful to us in the future. And if we take a risk and fail, we will simply pay for our experience.

[crwth]

I would consider regretting more impactful than just the risk I took because regret lasts a long time. I think it has a long-term effect on yourself, knowing that you can be affected by it mentally. It might lead you to different things, like more gambling or possible financial issues because you want to remove that regret.

It can be quite unfortunate sometimes when you take risk on gambling and yet lose your money in the cost or sake of chasing the goodie bags, yet there are times too when you later regret why we didn't take the risk at the first place. But the truth of the matter is that human are always afraid of loss and when they discovered that Afterall what they where afraid of play out to be good they regret, then you will hear them shout oooohh...holy shit.. I saw it coming but I was not confident to proof it. And what cause this is Self doubt. But what I can say is that no matter how a game appears to be real or not we should just gamble with what we can afford to lose, because the most trusted games usually loses, and those are always stakes higher. and the wining game usually are staked with little fund, let's not forget that.

However, even though everything will give pain and regret, there is still one thing that is most unacceptable and can really make gamblers always remember the pain and that is failure because they did not take bet that ultimately became big win.
If lose, it only about money and everyone can still work or do business to be able to make some money again, but very good opportunity and chance to be able to win will not be easy to get.
Even if it is an opportunity or chance that can change life, it could be pain that will never be forgotten in entire life.

[satscraper]

It depends. Some people can not carry themselves not having the risk in their routine including gambling. For them risk is from the class of substance needed for their mind  to be active while regret is like the maggot hole in their body so they live upon with risk every day, every hour in fact. Thus, again it depends on person.

Personally, I would select the risk rather than regret.

[Rabata]

It is natural for a gambler to feel regret when he loses. But what seems to me is that gamblers would rather risk losing a bet if they have a life-changing reward win for a small margin on a bet. They will regret it more if they miss it. It may be that the gambler himself planned to place a large bet but moved his bet elsewhere on the advice of another gambler others to win such a match with the most regrettable feeling. I missed a large amount in a casino game that had about a 99% chance of winning but in the end I just didn't get lucky which left me feeling a lot of regret and I never forgot that.

What you have to do is not to let yourself be in that situation, because if it is a life-changing amount you can win, then, you are betting with money you can't afford to lose. That in general, and, for example, if we talk about winning a lottery ticket, what you don't have to do is to always play the same combination, so that if you don't get the ticket or you lose it and you win the jackpot you have no way of checking it.

Both are tough in my opinion, where one is due to risk and the second is due to the completion of not betting.

If it's because of the risk of betting and losing I think this is much better because we have tried our luck at the casino which makes us think that we tried it and failed, it's good than nothing, as long as with financial arrangements that do not exceed the limit it is much better, while if regret is because of not betting this is more complicated because feelings of regret usually have a long effect especially in amounts that can change life circumstances.

[lovesmayfamilis]

There is an expression: "It is better to do something and regret it than not to do it and regret it."
If the deed is done, then you cannot rewind time; you need to draw conclusions and move on. This applies to everything, whether the risk was necessary or not. Everyone can decide for themselves how they will behave next time, and crying about what happened is useless.

Both are painful, whether it's betting and losing your hard earned money or not betting and the game you would've bet won. Although knowing that I had the opportunity to bet but didn't and the bet won, I'd feel pained for missing out on the opportunity but the greater pain for me will be losing my money when I gamble. I wouldn't be too bothered about a game that I didn't play and it won, especially if I had a good reason for not staking it, if I dwell on such regrets it can make me to become addicted by always gambling everytime so I wouldn't miss out if it'll be a winning ticket.

We all have different personalities, I don't regret losing bets much, I have too lost bets many in my life. I wouldn't like to miss a nice win, but that happened to me many times... I'm sure I cursed and grumbled at the moment, but that didn't last long either.

When we enjoy gambling we do it because we like the thrill, we like the game... after losing we know we will come back and give it another try, and maybe we will have more luck. The same is when we miss a nice win, we hope that we will catch some big one in the future.

Gambling is full of ups & downs, nice wins & great losses... when you gamble for decades all that comes as something normal. Simply there are good & bad days, but we don't know what our day will be like if we don't take risks, so we gamble and risk...
