Of course, sports betting has had an impact on my mental state, as my gambling experience includes more than one major loss due to excessive overconfidence and a lack of responsible gaming practices. However, I hold the belief that any experience, even a negative one, has its positive aspects. We humans often gain invaluable lessons through negative events, and this applies not only to sports betting and gambling but also to other areas of our lives. There’s no point in blaming yourself for mistakes, as these very mistakes contribute to our growth. At least, that’s what I think.
