Maybe we have also experienced something like that where after we have lost all the money, we don't gamble for a few days until we have money again. And once we have the money, we intend to gamble again and want to recover our previous losses. So the regret they express when they experience loss is only temporary because, after a few days, they will still return to gambling and play gambling again. This means they haven't really regretted having lost at gambling and keep returning to gambling.
a natural feeling that almost all of us have felt in the world of gambling and I think you have felt this feeling too.
maybe some people think this is the beginning of someone's addiction but not for me. because that feeling of regret will be felt by all of us as gamblers even if it only loses $ 1 it's just that regret has different levels.
I mean when a person who gambles then loses any amount he will keep coming back when he has the money because he only thinks about the previous losses. so this is about poor self-control.
One thing sure or certain is that, any body who is gambling solely to make money in the process will always probably over bet and also will regret on every loss, for those who arent really very much concerned about winning money, this ones are going to be betting only what they can afford to lose and maybe hardly regret it when the money is lost, simply because, he or she wasn't alll that serious about winning in the initial stage..
So regretting or not regretting all boils down to what one desires from gambling, that is what their expectations was during placing the bet.
