Who is in position to feel the regret?

[boyptc]

Yes. He should be thankful that he's still got some money after that cash out. Because not all gamblers do that and worse comes to them that they get nothing because of how they decide.

We might think that it's a bad decision to cash out and take some profits even if we've got a chance to win the entire thing. Battles don't have to be won like that when you can take your money, be happy with that and go gamble again some time.

If you've managed to withdraw profits that don't include your initial investment, that's great, and it's better to be grateful than to regret it, even if you have the chance to win again, as you said, rather than getting nothing.
But clearly, in gambling, we must accept the outcome. Regret won't change things for the better. Instead, regret your own excessive behavior so you can learn from it. If it's your time to be lucky, you can win big. So, gamble sensibly and wait for luck to be on your side.

Better to have that small profits than nothing because that's how it should be.

The regret do come in the end and when we feel that we did a mistake of profiting before the entire bet has ended, we understand that.

But, it's the case of winning but what if the next bets have lost and you didn't cash out, the regret will be even heavier. So, that's right that it's better to have that than nothing at all.

As humans we cannot always know make the right decisions and that's why gambling is a game of luck if not a lot of gamblers will be rich over night and casinos would have packed up. There ia no need to regret for your actions but rather learn from your mistakes in order to improve yourself and become better.

Any gambler who feels regrettable of his gambling actions and do not learn from their mistakes will also plan to fail after recovering from their regrets. I have this solid believe as human we are not wired to be flawless in all ramifications so whosoever have this believe that they can not make mistakes will end in sorrow and painful regrets. It is good to regret that you failed but it is not good to allow such regret to haunt you and demoralize you. no matter how bad it feels, if you don't learn from the mistakes and only regret, you will become a serial person of regret without any results out of the regret.

Mystery in the uncertainty of gambling and cashout. A friend of mine is regretting why he cash out his game that was supposed to give him a historical huge winning but he cash out halfway to avoid regrets which earned him little profits but at the end the games played all.
In my own experience, i was overconfident that my games would play successfully just after the teams I had my doubts on was able to win. So I take the rest few games common and hopefully to win easily but the games cut and I lost it all even while I had the opportunity for over 70% cash out.

Since last week this incident occured, my friend had been a complaint still feeling that chances he would had made it big win if not for his cash out.
So I am to ask, between me and my friend who is in position to feel this regrets regarded that I won nothing and he made some cash out ?

Your friend was lucky to even get something in the game by cashing out and I'm sure he has recovered the money he spent but you on the other hand, you got nothing even when you had the opportunity to cash out and recover your money that you are about to lose so you are the one that is going to feel regret for not cashing out when you should and now you are left with nothing and even though your friend isn't happy for cashing out now he should also understand that things like this happens in the gambling area and we move on from it and he should even consider himself lucky to have gotten something.

There are two satisfactions a gambler seeks in gambling: first, they want to win money, and second, they want to enjoy the game. The first category, for example, feels lucky to win money and withdraw it. The second category, for example, allows them to win a bet but enjoy the game longer until their balance runs out. Some gamblers are satisfied with their game even if their balance runs out, they don't care as long as they're having fun.

Not all gamblers view losing as bad, some gamble for fun. While many hope to win and cash in, the second type of gambler isn't just after money, but also after the thrill of playing even if they lose in the end.

I believe guy already know that you are the one who's supposed to regret most because you saw the cashout but didn't take it as your hope was to win the whole money. Your friend is just being greedy because she saw the whole game played but couldn't wait to take it but instead he cashout early. However the both of you have your lessons to learn. But you guys should not forget that anything can happen as long as you are still gambling. If you are too confident to keep the game running you might not be opportune to win.

Most times what people don't know is that, cashing out means a lot for various needs, sometimes you cash out in profits, other time you cash out in loses, all this depends on how you look at things from, I have seen some gamblers that make good use of cash out, that make their betting look like even a jackpot depending on the amount the cash out from the game.

Gamblers are humans with blood flowing in their veins they also get emotional most things when they take actions that makes them lose money or take part payments when they are supposed to win a very huge amount of money there's nothing to learn when you never know what's going to happen in your next game. The mistake is will always happen, there will always be regrets but in all of this, the pains makes them stronger and better because the game is all about fun and chasing of funds nothing is guaranteed that's why gamblers shouldn't take it too personal when they make wrong decisions that hurts them.

So I am to ask, between me and my friend who is in position to feel this regrets regarded that I won nothing and he made some cash out ?

Both of you.

You have reasons to feel regretful and that’s already enough to feel that way. Your friend missed a big win even if he managed to to take some profit while you on the other hand lose everything while you have the opportunity to cashout.

Your case is just more painful because you lose everything including your bankroll.

Of course the both of them will have a regret but on different magnitudes, his friend regret doesn't really matter much because if the game didn't end up well after his cash out he would have been feeling smarter and that he has been able to take advantage of the process, people shouldn't be feeling too bad when it comes to taken that decision to cash out before the end of the game or not because they both have consequences that should be ready to be accepted, definitely the one that won nothing will feel the regret more than the other friend.

Indeed. For his friend who regret cashing out early because the game ended well, what if the result is bad? Will he regret cashing out early? Of course, no because he made the right decision. Gambling is a game of luck and the result is not guaranteed to be in our favor, this is the reason why we need to learn to value what we gain regardless of its amount since profit is still a profit.

He is regretful, because he would like to earn more from his previous bet. Anyway, he is going to be regretful in every cases, because I'm sure he is going to use his profits to place bets once again until losing all the profit made so far. And once this happens, he is going to feel regretful for the decisions which led him to lose all the money. Gamblers are always looking for more, always dissatisfied with what they have accumulated until the present moment.

In the world of gambling, there are no certainties. If he bet, while confident that his hunch was correct, why didn't he wait? Gambling is like that; you either regret betting or not betting. Staying until the end or leaving early. I believe both have the right to feel the weight of "guilt" for the wrong decision, even if there is no right decision; it's luck and risk. Hold your head high and move on!

Guilt and regret are pretty much universal when we talk about gambling and betting, specially on the internet with all the access we have to online casinos without even taking the hassle to leave our homes.
Instead of focusing on regret and guilt, all this ecosystem would be positively different if more gamblers took a look at their personal situation and realized many of them are in a position which allow them to gamble with no fear of the future.

In investing, trading and gambling ironically we all feel more hurt by missing out money (unrealized money) instead of settling for what have already achieved.

Well well, I did honestly prefer to leave a bet to run and cut, and I end up not winning anything than to cashout little money half way and later at the end of all the matches played realize that I would have won a huge sum of money if I hadn't accepted the cash out offer, and I believe the reason for this is very obvious, it is commonly said that "half bread is better than no bread at all" but it's not in this type of situation, here, I would rather have no bread at all than having to make do with half when i know I would have gotten the full bread if I was patient enough.

So in conclusion, I would say your friend should be regreting his decision and action much more than you because he had the opportunity of making a huge win but he lost it due to his fear and impatient, while you on the other hand didn't get the opportunity at all, this is the difference, for it is better not to get an opportunity, than get one and mess it up.

Good point, the problem here Is about contentment, in gambling you are not entitled to make profit so whatever amount you end up taking as your cashout should not be something that you should end up regretting as long as you are not In loss, that's the most important thing to consider. Anytime I cashout a game and maybe it ends up playing out, I just tell myself that there's a possibility that I would have lost it

That's okay; understanding that we will lose more often is a fact of gambling, and we must accept this to avoid feelings that drive us to chase wins, as this can lead us to gamble continuously, ignoring the risk of loss. And when it comes to satisfaction, perhaps not all players are satisfied with their winnings, but we should try to be content with what we have. This is one way to protect ourselves from greater losses.

The both of you are absolutely right, but there is no way a person will not regret after having lost a very good opportunity which if well handled, would have changed the person's life completely..

Imagine for example, you bet on a game ticket with 20 legs, and the game is on with 16 games already played and you won it all, now it's remaining just 4 games to do, you are now offered a cash out of (let's say) $280 where as your total potential win amount is $134,000, and you used $50 to place the bet, a cashout of $280 is very good, but $134,000 is even better, now you are not sure what will be the outcome of the other remaining 4 games, $280 is too big for you to ignore and possibly lose if anything goes wrong and the game ticket cuts, so you ended up accepting the cashout offer..

Later on, you come back to learn that the remaining 4 games later played in your favor, which simply means that if you hadn't taken the cashout offer of $280, you would have walked away with a whooping $134,000, money more than enough to set you up for life, and you tell me you wouldnt regret this? Lets be sincere with ourselves, I myself will regret making this type of mistake big time, I could even spend weeks or more wishing I had been patient enough to allow the game to run.

In gamble there are some situation you will find yourself into, you will just get confused. Sometimes you will be forced to make a decision due to pressure, the funniest part is when next they offered him a Cash out he will be forced to take it because the pressure is always there forget about the regrets is just like medicine after death, because when next he will be thinking that things might work different this time around so he will still want to make cash out, and if the game played all. I'm sure he will continue with the regret, some  people like making decisions without being prepared. And gambling is one of the hardest place to make decision when it comes to the time of making Cash out since we are gambling without any guarantee.

[Royal Cap]

I'm sure he will continue with the regret, some  people like making decisions without being prepared. And gambling is one of the hardest place to make decision when it comes to the time of making Cash out since we are gambling without any guarantee.

I think the real problem with gambling is making decisions under pressure. Especially when it comes to cashing out, the pressure is the most. Then it seems that if I play a little more, I might get more or if I don't withdraw now, I will regret it later. This dilemma actually confuses the player.
Bookmakers also know that people make mistakes under pressure, so their offers are also set in such a way that the profit is on their side in the long run.


I think the solution is not emotion but rules made in advance. So it is to decide before playing that if I win how much I will withdraw my money and if I lose how much I will not play anymore. And if we don't set limits, our subconscious mind will always want to play and it will think that if we play another game, we can recover the money we lost. So following the rules is actually the only way to avoid stress and regret.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Easy to say but that's in your perspective, so many people can not have that heart to accept the outcome of their decision despite being the ones that made the decision at first, so that's what I am seeing in the case if OP and the friend, it was easy to have made the decision at first but the expectations was not met and emotions kicked in, then feeling of regret for not doing the opposite.

If there is anything to regret here, it's coming from the unsatisfied nature of man; irrespective of how something turns out to be, you will also have that thought in you of not being content. Feeling regret for an action you decided yourself to take, to me, is not something right to do. That feeling might be inevitable, but we don't need to bring it out into the open; that shows some kind of weakness in my open opinion.

I liked as you outlined that the feeling can be be inevitable, meaning that anyone is bound to have such feeling or mindset but the ability to silent it and deal with it internally is what you are reflecting on here and it's not every gambler that can easily silence the feeling. Boils down to the individual difference that I always talk about.

I think you might little digressing but if I must ride on same point with you, anyone who even think he can win more than his looses would always one of those who takes gambling seriously for profit making money. It is really laughable of those guys because they will always end up regretting their ignorantic behaviors.

Those who take notice of such risks will always be in the better modes.

And when it comes to satisfaction, perhaps not all players are satisfied with their winnings, but we should try to be content with what we have. This is one way to protect ourselves from greater losses.

If we say the sports bets and casinos as much can be unpredictable is also uncertainty? I am sure every learnable players will always appreciate any moment they are opportuned to see cashout because in most times you will not even have such privilege..

Being contented on every opportunity are those who made it understood that gambling is a game of luck.

It's just that many gamblers need to understand that if they make a bet, that decision was final and took precedence over any other decisions, such as not betting or betting on something else.
We are no longer children and we need to learn to live in the future that we have created for ourselves.
But gamblers and bettors who are weak in willpower will always blame someone else and say that someone influenced them instead of fully understanding the responsibility for their decisions.
