You wouldnt really be having the feeling of regret once you do accept your fate on the time that you do gamble.It is really just that a matter of acceptance on how things goes and since we've been dealing with gambling then it would really be just that normal that we would really be losing most of the time and this is something that you should really be aware about so that you wouldnt really be making yourself that impulsive and trying out to chase up your losses. Only allocate on the money or funds which you could really afford to lose and dont go into a certain extent on which you would really be
that believing that you could really be able to win up games most of the time because thats not how reality works. The only thing that you should really be that minding is not to make yourself that get
addicted into it because on the time that you do get addicted then its not really something easy to get out on such thing and this is where most people do fail on doing so, this is why you should really be that careful.

There's some serious wisdom in your words. Acceptance of the gambling process, and the losses that often come with it, is indeed a mature approach. But remember, acceptance doesn't mean complacency. We can still seek to improve our game, can't we?

Imagine you're trying to cross a river. You could accept that you might get swept away...or you could learn to swim. The same goes for gambling: losses might be part of the game, but that doesn't mean we can't fight the current.

As for your remarks on addiction... Yes, it's a beast to fight off once it sinks its teeth in. But I believe in people's ability to change. And I firmly agree with your gentle warning about the dangers of becoming too engrossed. After all, the journey is more enjoyable when you're not dragging a ball and chain behind you, right?

If we like what we're doing then the journey shouldn't end in quitting. Losing is always part of gambling but we should be wise in dealing with it as that's part of the risks that we're taking. To lose never means to quit.
We can rest and stop for a while to condition our minds but we can also look for alternative and effective strategies for us to enjoy our journey more.
It is given that there will only be two results but we should know how to play the game of gambling. It will take us into a roller coaster ride of emotions so we must be prepared emotionally.
As long as we're not experiencing gambling addiction, then we must enjoy what we do. Losing might discourage us but it shouldn't be a reason for us to hate what we are doing but rather a motivation for us to seek good strategies.
