Bitcoin Forum

Definitely most of us here are aware and already heard of that sentence countless times. Recently I found something related to, there's a guy who lost few thousand dollars worth of crypto in two weeks of span times and tried to blame gambling influencers/streamers (or whatever you called them) for its losses. afaik the mentioned influencers didn't take responsibility for what happened to him.

I'm sorry for him, I'm posting its case not to judge. Meanwhile, it could be a good lesson for us to not repeat the same mistake.

Influencers are known for promoting gambling sites, there is nothing wrong with that. It is the player's responsibility to pay attention when betting on any site. if he wins then he feels good and has a nice day. If he loses, you have to learn to accept this loss and not blame anyone else. The only culprit is the person who deposits the money and gambles it away.

It's tough to feel sorry for this person really because they essentially tried to take a shortcut - either he was going to lose money or someone else was going to lose money. It's his partner I feel bad for, I hope he learns a lesson but many times people will make the same mistake especially when driven by greed. There is no problem with influencers pushing gambling adverts but if they are paid to do so it should be clearly marked otherwise it is clearly deceptive. There are laws in some countries that require this disclosure but it can be hard to determine and enforce.

Very common type of behavior on which a gambler could really make on which they would really love on pointing out fingers on the time that they do have commit big loss which this is something

shows that someone is already addicted to gambling but later they do only realize that and on the time that they do really deny that they are addicted then they would put the blame into someone.
It is really just dumb on accusing those influencers to be their fault yet you havent been forced to deposit on the first place.It is on your own self will on doing so.

He must be a dumb type to be influenced by someone he thought their credibility will double his marriage a wallet  full of dollars that will make his wedding the talk of the town. It's either he doesn't know what his doing or he is one of the unserious type to gamble the whole $2000. What happen to trying out $50 deposit and see hoe the outcome of the game will be and even if he decided to deposit all, I am not sure if a beginner will wager everything he had on him.

I will enjoy streaming playing from YouTube but I wouldn't do try it out until I'm confident of my self and it will be with a smaller amount.

I too am sorry for the guy, I hate when people lose too much money to gambling because I have been in the position before and I know how it feels, he will really be depressed right now, but the best is for the person to just take off his mind and move on, if there is life there is hope.

We should use the amount of money we can afford to lose to gamble. Not even only that, it is also better to take gambling as fun rather than a way of making money. He lost so rapidly because he wanted to make money through gambling which is most likely not possible.

No one said that what the influencers did are wrong, though. On top of that, I believe those influencers have given their own disclaimer/warning to their followers. Of course, if that guy won he wouldn't make such a fuss in the first place and keep silent with what he won.

Not too sure the reason he entered the gambling field either it's purely carried by the contents he watched or tried to take a shortcut as you said. I also hope for the same and he could earn funds from another income for his engagement.

I don't know about you but the wedding story looks made up to gain sympathy and maybe get money. It's like a post made by an irresponsible kid. It's hard to believe someone would actually gamble their money when they are about to get married in a few days.

The guy is an idiot if this happens to be true.

Nothing new, a gambler losses much money and looks for someone to blame for their action. It's irresponsible gambling and that seems to be a guy that hasn't grow up with his attitude.
There will always be those gamblers that will blame someone if not the casino for their misfortune that they chose and decided to do.

Blaming someone wouldnt really ease out the stress or rage that you do have inside as a losing gambler but this is where some people do really behave out on times like this
on where they do find out on someone who would took the blame and even saying that the site wasnt fair at all which is really a sad kind of behavior.
You dont accept out the reality of gambling on which you do believe that you could make yourself rich guaranteed which isnt the case.

I'm sure this guy will come back to gambling. What he have experienced is the massive loss, but that is not upon following certain tipster provider or something like that. It is pure addiction that have made him try his luck. He might've thought of making little money out of gambling so to meet his financial needs. Now what he planned haven't happened. So, out of frustration he have added it on social media. Maybe someone could help or find it a lesson.

If that's what makes them feel better temporarily, they'll do that unstoppably. We keep on seeing this from time to time and they're posting their problems that they blame the casino or anyone that has influenced them. But when knowing the fact of their complain, it is them that what made them experience that misfortune resulted as a losses. The responsibility that they have upon having that money and spending it to the things that they should was totally neglected because of their wrong decision.

Some people will never learn and some will learn so, I don't know about that guy but he needs help in order to stop his madness. I'm sure he thinks it's an easy money when listening to those influencer but that doesn't seem to work that way because we all know how it works. And using his money for engagement is a sign that he's addicted to gambling, that's why he needs help. I feel sorry for his fiancée and I'm sure he's in big trouble.

I guess gamble what you can afford to lose was not in his book when he was addicted.

There have been many times like this and they lost a lot of money because they saw streamers on youtube but they themselves can't control it, it's the same as he can't control himself and his finances, of course it will run out in a vulnerable time so we have to be prepared by losing money when playing gambling anywhere.
Never gamble to make a massive income, basically we play just for fun and ready for responsibility.

Once you do step your foot on gambling activity then you should really prepare yourself on experiencing losses which it is really very normal but if you are on a denial state as always then you would really be looking on someone on where you could really point your finger which is really something you could see everywhere.Even into this forum on which there are people who do even complain that the site
isnt fair but without having those solid proofs or evidences and even accusing popular or known websites.

It would be an unstoppable cycle which is not surprising on where they would continue to blame out someone as long it would make them feel better.Some might just really that
do keep quiet when they are frustrated but there are ones who are really that tactful when they are on such condition.Gamble on the money which you can afford to lose
and you would normally be saying up things even on too much manner if you couldnt just accept on what you are experiencing atm.

Lol, that "you guys are bad" and "I need $2000 for decoration. Where do I find it?". Sounds more like he is trying to get people to donate him for his wedding. And I am sure he watches lot of things, but doesn't mimic them. He would be saying the same thing if he had won. Anyway, we can't even see if he won the bets or lost. He is an adult capable of making his own decision. He shouldn't be blaming others for his mistake. If he thinks he has gambling problems, tell him to reach out to people that can help him. Ranting on twitter won't get him anywhere.

Well then, the only thing missing here is him blaming the person who invented gambling. It's not a mistake, it's pure escapism imo. It's basically wanting to blame something else since you don't want to blame yourself. It's like a user blaming a casino for their actions when they're only complying with the rules they themselves set. Sure, there might be some instances where suspicious activity came out, but there are also instances where it's just the user wanting to blame someone or something. Might as well blame the world for being like this.

I remember you have the same issue back then when you created a thread after losing money that you have borrowed from someone. It's a very close situation because the money seems to be intended for something else but he gambled it.

Most of us here already understood how dire the situation is when the money is not really meant for gambling. I think people in gambling forums only bet the money they also earn from promoting signatures. The highest so far that I have bet on sports matches is $50 not even listening to a tipster but just reading what users have also posted.

Lots of people have told him that he needs to take "some goddamn responsibility from his actions" which is true in every aspect though. And I feel bad for his wife for marrying a man who is stupid and childish enough to blame other people for the repercussions of his actions.  ::) Like seriously?

To a certain extent, it takes two to tango. While every person has the freedom to decide for himself/herself, it doesn't mean he/she is impervious to the effects of ads. The truth of the matter is that ads have a certain influence in the way people act and decide. Well, as a matter of fact, it's the primary goal of ads. The effects of ads could go as deep as the psychological level of an individual. This is probably the reason why a lot of countries are very strictly regulating gambling ads, even banning them.

Anyway, self-discipline is always necessary. Where self-discipline fails, the government comes in bringing in regulatory policies.

Definitely, it's the gambler responsibility an no one has to blame but himself. Does he mean when the influencer says "jump from his balcony", he gonna do it?

So huge lesson for him, not to get emotionally, maybe he become greedy because those influencers are showing good win an he want's to replicate it, too bad he lost so much money.

Losing thousands of dollars is very painful for a gambler, especially if he is not used to seeing such big losses.
Maybe for gamblers with big capital, big losses are normal because they often get big wins.
If we don't want to regret it, we must know how much money we want to use to bet to control how much money we spend.
Always remember that only bet with enough money and never exceed the limit.

Its a typical mindset of a gambler who dont want to accept his own mistakes and pointing someone to be blame.

Even he is tempted to gamble because of these influencers/streamers, he should not be too naive to think he can earn instant in gambling. Thats the result of not being able to control himself.

Regrets are always in the end so there's nothing he can do now but to take responsibility of the consequences, learn from it and move on.

That's tough, even though i've experienced losing multiple times in a row there's just a point where you really need to stop and more reason to do so when you have an upcoming event like engagement (in his case).

I also agree with what you guys mentioned, it's a bit hard to take his post seriously when he's trying to shift the blame on the gambling streamers he's watching. It's understandable that most gambling streamers entice you to experience getting a huge win but there's no point in blaming them.

Being sorry is too late you have to be man enough to admit your mistake the only help people can give you is advice that there's still life after this, I don't want to be victim-blaming but this is what's going to happen if you have no control on your bet thinking that you have the right formula or method to win, it's ok to have the motivation to win but having no control is worse.

Had the gambler been lucky and won enough bets then I'm sure something might have been different and maybe he wouldn't have blamed the influencer but in the end greed has consumed all the crypto he has in just 2 weeks right?

I prefer to call him a gambler who is not responsible for his gambling because he forgets that no one will be held responsible for gambling losses including influencers. Had he known what the risks of gambling were then he should never have complained when he spent all his money. $2K to $5K is quite a lot to spend in 2 weeks of gambling mainly because I'm not a gambler who likes to spend $100+ per session. It makes more sense to bet on sports bets $100 per favorite game or $100 on a weekly parlay for a good 3-4 games than to spend all the money on slots or other luck based games.
