If we still feel deep regret after losing at gambling, it indicates we're not fully prepared for the risks. If we know the risks and are prepared for them, we won't regret them so much when we lose. Regret is inevitable, and that's normal, but don't overdo it.

Being responsible is crucial, and a lack of discipline can be considered irresponsible. This is a fundamental foundation for preventing addiction, as addiction can occur when we forget the basics of what to avoid when gambling.

Yes, above all, responsibility, because that's what defines us, When we bet and play at a casino, we know we're risking our money and we don't want to lose it but in games of chance, everything is about luck. Luck is what determines how much we'll win.

When we gamble at any casino, we have to be responsible for ourselves,the most important thing is our money, We must take good care of it because it's not good to try to recover it when we've lost a lot, and many fall into that temptation.

Some people intend to have fun at first, but then find themselves unable to implement their prepared budget plan due to a lack of discipline stemming from the emotions of defeat.

I'm not talking about other people, because I've been there, and I suspect many others have. But the difference is when we quickly realize what we've done wrong, and at the same time, we strive to correct it and avoid repeating the same mistake.

You touched on a point that goes far beyond gambling... the difference between knowing how to take conscious risks or simply acting on impulse.
Being committed and managing the risks of gambling are attitudes that will protect not only your wallet, but also your mental health... and this includes accepting the real possibility of loss.

But for most gamblers, everything "falls apart" when emotions enter the picture... whether it's not just about losing, but also about the euphoria of winning. I think the most important thing of all is to create a plan before you start betting and never deviate from it, regardless of what happens along the way... letting discipline overcome impulse.
And this applies not only to betting, but also to investing or anything else where risk and emotion are involved.
