hels Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 For me it would have been seeing that I did have a true gambling addcition back in 2003-2005 and getting help for it. The girl and times I fucked up with...... I just believed I was better than everyone else in poker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High3rEl3m3nt Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Great question. I should have used better judgment in choosing who I befriend. Called some not so good people "friends," who were negative and at times a liability. Moving away from Washington--where I grew up, was the best thing I ever did. Learned my lesson, but shouldn't have needed the lesson in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRevolver Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 There's not too much I regret with my life. But great investments that I passed up on... those hurt in retrospect. I'm sure a lot of us have passed up on a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some cases it is also true. But there's also those big streaks where you made several thous+ that you wouldn't have had otherwise. Most everything we win we just roll it back on more action.

Inkwell77 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Bitcoin I'm still kicking myself because I was so close to buying a lot (about $10,000) at the time (mid 2011) because I had the money and believed in the currency, I just got scared like a little bitch. Was a hell of a lesson. If you believe in something go after it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Bitcoin yep. i kick myself for getting in on this when people were posting about it. it was real cheapIt was literally under a dollar a few years ago, and rose to over 1300.

Was a hell of a lesson. If you believe in something go after it. That is a hell of a lesson bro. June 9th 2011 bitcoin all time high was broken at just under 32 US dollars. Two years later it was over 1300, 10k at that point peaked at well over 400k two years later. I can see why you are kicking yourself INK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest boatboatboat Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 learned at a younger age that for the most part people are lazy and you can out work those who have an advantage and prevail the majority of the time. IE: no deal is out of your league or to big to try and get involved in. people WANT to do business with those who are hungry. the power of praise for out weighs the power of criticism people seldom are willing to put forth the effort to change regardless of the rewards In the game of life, time spent with ones you loved is always the best investment one can make few things happen in bars after 9:00 the effect ones life in a positive fashion A mans worth is seldom measured with numbers or dollar signs, but by those who will come to his aid in a time of need. a deal made with a firm handshake and a personal assurance goes smoother than one drafted by lawyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milwaukee mike Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 missed out on a couple of ridiculously cheap investment properties in 2009. also should've held my stock in best buy and penn national much longer, was into both in the late 90s at $7/share. i saw my childhood crush when we were about 20 and i just kept walking. not sure if i regret walking away or not, probably depends on the day! much better looking than mrs milwaukee but probably too high maintenance and a nag lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
