I was watching a video on the neighboring network, where a young asked the following question:

What have you lost the most money on and still regret it to this day?
To answer first this question, the most money I have betted and lost amounted to around $500 converted to cash in the year 2014-2015.

Back then, I was a fresh college student who was really addicted to online games, specifically DOTA 2. I was quickly introduced to a casino website called dota2lounge.com where you can bet your in-game character skins on teams competing with each other. I successfully garnered an estimate of ~$500 worth of Dota 2 skins after a month of doing my bets.

Suddenly, my friend introduced me to a blackjack game in steam where I can use my Dota 2 skins to be traded as "keys" worth $2.49 each during that time. At first, I doubled my money but after three (3) days of playing blackjack, all of my skins were lost and I never repeated this streak again.

So this topic came to my mind with the current question: Have you ever lost money in any way and still regret it to this day? Have you ever gambled or bet and still feel guilty? If so, tell us a little bit... If possible, give us more specific advice on how to gamble without losing a large amount.

Like what I mentioned above, it still haunts me to this very day that I could've just stopped and call it a day. However, that experience taught me an invaluable lesson- which is the act of discipline and contempt. Even if I had lost money, that lesson stuck with me and this prevented me from gambling more than I can ever lose in a single entry.
