Risk or regret? (2)

[Fivestar4everMVP]

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?

Sorry to say, but your question is completely meaningless to me, I personally don't know how others feel about this, but then, I don't see how this two are different from each other as long as it's gambling we are talking about, and this is because, one often leads to the other, Taking risks is what often leads to regret when the expected outcome fail  to materialize.

I have never gotten to the point where I have or had to regret over a game I did not play, or a bet I missed placing, and this is because, in the world of gambling, opportunities are ever available, if you missed placing a bet on a particular match, hop on and make sure not to miss betting on the next coming back instead of wallow and shorten your lifespan with regret, I hope you understand perfectly what I mean.

Gambling is not something that should be taken that serious, it's majorly for fun right, regardless of the fact that most gamblers today treat it as a source of income, but nevertheless, when ever one missed a bet, he or she should go on and place another bet, I see no way regretting is even a thing here, regret is only possible when after taking a risk, your expectations fail to come to reality, which also means that you lost your bet, this can lead to some regrets which shouldn't even be, because people should only bet what they can afford to lose right.

How can you know if you will win if you do not try? I believe that if you doubt whether to participate in something that concerns your finances and if you understand that if you lose them, you will have problems, then you should not do anything. But if you have the means to take a risk and your intuition tells you that you need to take a risk, you should try. However, you must understand in advance that you will only have yourself to blame if something goes wrong. Luck loves risk but does not love stupidity.

The pain in taking the risk because you know already to yourself if you already reached your limit and it's up to you now if you will more games now if you are feeling luck or have a good vibes to play go a head but if the game doesn't reciprocating the energy you are giving and it changes your mood now I guess that's the time watch your self are you still going to make a bet or not because sometimes having that kind of decision makes us deep into the wrong idealization to make another bet. Imagine if you take home already your wins instead playing more. that's part of the gambling people how they risk with their games.

Haha that is natural human attitude, they always feel lacking and always consider themselves capable of achieving much greater success, but in reality what actually happens is that they are unable to achieve success in gambling on large scale in row.
Taking risks is the courage of gambler and when they win then there is an increasingly passionate courage for self-confidence that might change conditions to be much worse, this is the dark side of gambling which when pursued will be increasingly difficult to obtain.
It just that there are also some people who are able to control themselves and really minimize all these bad attitudes.
Moreover, if someone feels they have enough capital then they will definitely act as they please until they finally regret everything they have done.

Our nature is to seek highs and push limits. Any risk-reward activity counts. Danger? Overriding reason with primitive urge. Gamblers win big sometimes. A cool streak follows every hot one. That winning drive might lead to endless loss. Courage is knowing when to fold, not taking chances. Yeah, that's control

Gamblers without becoming insane are outliers. They know and respect their boundaries. Discipline in a world that celebrates excess. Can gambling be good? Of course it can. But severe self-awareness and growth are needed. Don't avoid, master the game. Knowing the thrill, risk, and line between them. The distinction between measured risk and suicide

[Frankolala]

No risk, no luck....some people at e not risk taker and that will make their luck not coming in because they did not give it the chance. Everything we do in life is a risk to see if our strategy will work out as planned and that is why you need to take the risk to see if it is worth it.

This is the same with gambling if you don't bet, how will you win. It is better to try than not trying because you don't know what the future has for you. Let's not regret tomorrow because we fail to take risk when it was called for. Some risk are not worth taking while some are worth risking.

Very interesting question this, and actually I have experienced both as
I'm sure many others have as well, anyone who says they havent I wouldnt
believe them!

Personally I think the pain of losing a bet far out weighs the pain of regret
of not taking a bigger winning bet because at least there is a win which is much
better than nothing at all - this is my experience!

Well that's the point, everything can only be known when someone starts with an action or by trying it including gambling. This means experiencing loss or regret is a natural part especially if we talk about gambling, we have to accept whatever the results are. And simply as you said that if we don't want to experience anything like loss or regret then it is clear that the experiment should not be done. It all depends on our own agreement because we are the ones who make the decision, simply when you know that it is a risky activity then don't be a loser, in the sense of not feeling hurt when it turns out that the risk happens to you.

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

The difficulty in answering this question lies in the fact that the pain felt by the gambler is very personal and depends on many factors, including the amount of loss (the value of the lost amount), the degree of awareness of the gambler’s personality, and perhaps whether he has psychological support from someone around him such as family or friends.

In general, it can be said that regret is often more painful and lasting than risk. This is because risk is a temporary state, while regret can accompany the gambler for a long time after the event has occurred. In addition, regret can lead to other psychological problems, such as depression and anxiety.

Gamblers are already aware of the risk of gambling and also they know that if they lose, there will be regret but not for those who will do responsible gambling and who have control over their emotions. I also feel that most of the gamblers will regret if they lose and therefore it is impossible to distinguish between the two by the gamblers. If anyone jumps into gambling with preparation, he will surely face the pain of losing and every new gambler will always feel this pain.

Moreover, if someone feels they have enough capital then they will definitely act as they please until they finally regret everything they have done.

That is the reason why some people are regretting it today: they were rich before, but after they got into gambling, they were carried away, became addicted, and lost all their wealth to gambling. I don't know if you can remember one old thread in which the OP narrated how he was being cautioned and discouraged from gambling by an elderly man who claims that gambling has ruined his life and that gambling is demonic.

If the case is about having a lot of money or large capital to gamble and then becoming poor, I think it's because of not having discipline. Because when they gamble with discipline then ofcourse they will also have a good way of gambling,  of course with a workable strategy and not just blindly betting, that is clearly the wrong way. In this way, they regret gambling so much until they blame gambling, despite the fact that the fault lies with themselves. But,it's different with risk, because when they realize about the risk then of course they will also gamble with calculation and even if they lose,  at least it doesn't make them regret it so deeply because they will not become poor either.

With much confidence, I would say regret from not taking a winning chance, rather than suffering from painful losses that cannot be undone after that. Some people lost their savings, houses, stole and even killed after suffering huge losses,  there are some people that were rich and due to their addiction lost everything and became poor.
Sometimes, we find great chances with very high odds to set a bet but also afraid of losing it, after the results you find that bet is successful but you lost that chance and regret starts to eat your heart and keep thinking about it for days. However, in this case you will have other chances to find other chances and gamble responsably.

Risk isn't painful at all. It's the regret that hurts. In my case risk is exciting. I feel good taking risks and it's some of that adrenaline that keeps me coming back, even after a prolonged hiatus.
Most gamblers crave two things. The excitement that taking a risk brings and the happiness and satisfaction of winning money. The pain of loss is what we want to avoid but worst of all is shame, especially when someone finds out how much we lost. This is by far the worst feeling.

[348Judah]

Some will tell you that no risk no gain, but i will say that not all risk have gain, we must know which to go for and the ones we should avoid completely, if we can't afford to risk it, then we should not go for it because there is no certainty on many things when it comes to gambling, we are only taking the chance for winning or losing and whichever comes in then we have to embrace such as part of our fate in gambling.

Therefore, it is not wrong when many people advise not to tell others about our gambling activities, in other words, it is better to hide it. Only those closest to us should know, by limiting it not only reduces the shame we receive due to the many losses we experience, but also helps to reduce stress. Most people find it very difficult to hold back from telling stories, especially when they get benefits from gambling, because they want to celebrate it together. That's where gambling habits usually begin to be revealed, but for some people it is not a big problem.

On the other hand, shame arises from expecting too much, and when unlucky, someone tends to think it is not worth telling. I think everyone has experienced something similar, and I think it is normal in gambling. When you dare to take risks, shame is also a part of it, meaning that gambling is not only risking money and time. Meanwhile, it is better not to care too much about other people's judgments regarding our gambling activities, after all, they have also experienced it.

By the way, today I planned to bet on Real (with or without a handicap, I was not completely sure) but I did not have time to do it either. I had almost no doubt that Real would win (it is impossible for two favorites to consistently perform below expectations). So today I can regret the missed opportunity but now is the very beginning of the season so I will go on knowing that there are a lot of opportunities ahead.

Yea, in sports games, if you miss an opportunity, you must not kill yourself for it because there would still come another game that can really play according to your prediction if you still stake on it. Sometimes one could still risk a certain amount in some bet and still lose it. That's when they will start to regret why they had to risk such an amount, and if it's in a situation where they also did not stake in the game and it played as they must have predicted, they will still regret why they never played the game. Human being is not usually satisfied with any result that they get; if they knew, they could have gotten more. 

Regrets are an important part of being a human. And where there are regrets, it usually comes in the end and not at first. That's why sometimes regrets are unavoidable since you have less control on it or you might have the control but you didn't take the risk, that's also something that is common in a human being. If you don't take the risk and end up profitable in the end, regrets are there, simply because no one knew that it will be the outcome then.

In life, if you never take any risk, you will never make it anywhere. As man, you have to risk everyday for the rest of your life, you risk your brain to work with a particular company and get paid, there is a high tendency that if you go to another company, you will get paid higher but you risk it and some people might really go and to another company and leave the previous ones  which is risky too but if it's work out, it's an advantage for them but if doesn't, that's a regret, this how I can best explain the two terms.

I just think that one is worth more than one, it's shouldn't be about the pain but the cause in which you want to make it. Not even taking a risk is a risk because you might regret itater that why didn't you take the risk in the first place. I will take risk every day because it's worth it even if it's might be painful experience, the reward is worth it.

But in the end trying not to be curious will be a little more to give a pretty good thing in my opinion even if it loses than not doing it at all . When we are gambling,  of course there are several things that must be considered including taking the risks that are faced when we want to bet so that if we really want to gamble then we must know and put aside regret a little because after all we must remember that even if we lose then it is the risk and consequences that we bear to answer the curiosity that we have and that there is no need to regret it because we have made a choice before .

Many people do not accept defeat when gambling and think that they are cheated or feel sorry for making a bet for me is ridiculous because if you don't want to regret it then don't do gambling in the first place. Since we have taken the step to gamble then we should be prepared to lose .

I won't have much pain from a missed bet. There are always opportunities to grab some other nice games and wins good rewards. So we don't have force it so we don't end up making mistakes. On the other hand, it will be painful, taking risk on a bet and at the end of the whole game we come back with nothing. That's much more painful to me. I'll just rather not take such risk that is far above my play limits or even miss the game. Even though we know that loss is inevitable when it comes to gambling but then we must be able to minimize our risks.

Well, it would be more painful to loss a bet with a huge some than missing  a booked game which should have definitely  made a good win. Just like you said, there is always  time to make another game and try again but what has been lost, is gone forever. The best you can do is to make another prediction and if luck is at your side then you might win the game  and that may or may not satisfy you, but every win is worth being happy for, because  the probability of winning  is low. However  some missed bet can be very frustrating  as the potential win could have worth something really good.

Losing an extraordinary opportunity may make us feel guilty about our decisions and have a guilty conscience, but you forget that when the result is not an opportunity, it is an unusual peace of mind when it is already a certain loss but fortunately, we have been warned and have no regrets. I mean a chance in gambling is just a combination of risk and adventure, it is not a pure chance to win, it must be a sacrifice in exchange for a relative result, do not let yourself be nervous, regret is sometimes not something to be ashamed of and must be avoided
