Well, I guess that they have been just tested of time and that's why they're able to overcome the feeling of regret. It's not an easy thing if you ask me to manage that if they can really do that and able to become responsible through how they respond to such situations, yes, they can be concluded as responsible gamblers with that and if they're going to correct their mistakes as they gamble.
Yes, that's all not easy to do, while gambling responsibly is very important for gamblers to avoid anything bad from gambling and even if they always make mistakes, as long as they have the hard work to try to gamble responsibly, I'm sure there will be no wasted effort.
There will be no waste for sure to the gamblers that are trying their best to gamble responsibly. But there are times that they forget their main reason for what they are trying to achieve as they gamble. That very momentum of being responsible is becoming gone for some reasons that they can't understand as they don't notice it.
Yes, actually I really understand this situation when a gambler who tries to gamble responsibly sometimes forgets something that must be done carefully, such as emotions and greed which always thwart someone when they want to try to gamble responsibly.
These two situations can always change a gambler's thinking for the worse, such as when a gambler has made a responsible bet and experiences a slightly large loss and emotions come in to persuade the gambler to chase losses and end up losing even more.
I myself tried responsible gamble in gambling for a while where I increased my bankroll but suddenly I didn't realize the change in me and I lost my bankroll trying to recover a small loss. I honestly wonder I lose control sometimes in gambling. Although I have improved quite a bit from that position, my controlling instinct is plagued by a bit of greed, especially when my bankroll reaches high, which makes me miss to change. I refrained from increasing my bankroll to get rid of this situation. Because I may lose all the money due to any carelessness. I decided when I could win a few bets I would either take a break or withdraw my winnings. This can greatly reduce my chances of losing.
