~OP~

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.

I would also add that there is no point in blaming yourself for mistakes if they cannot be corrected anyway. We can correct the consequences of these mistakes, but not the mistakes themselves. And often, correcting the consequences of mistakes, as in the case of financial consequences, is achieved with great effort and stress. However, work, persistence and stress, as well as self-restraint during the elimination of the consequences of mistakes, allows you to better remember this mistake and not repeat it in the future.
