I was guilty of this when I was a teenager not on online casinos but in a popular game on Fiesta It is a color game using dice, I was introduced here by my childhood friend and I had a lot of losses with this game, I'm using my school allowance so every time I lose money I blame my childhood for leading me to this color game I do it in a fun way as if I'm just joking but deep inside I hate it whenever I lose. I struggled to fight the temptation but the excitement led me to play again and again.
How about have you at any time blamed the one that led you to gambling in your mind, or even told him face to face?

I was not introduced into gambling by anyone, it was a decision I made myself after I won with a random bet I got in a dream. Yes dream! I got the game in a dream and when I woke up I walked up to a betting shop and played the game and won making a profit of X150 of my capital and that eas how I started gambling till date.

At thise early stages of me joining gambling, it was actually easier winning even though the amount won were not huge. Now that I take gambling as a big business the winnings are not coming regularly but I'm actually applying risk management to be able to remain in the business.

You do not have to blame anyone because the person introduced you to gambling. If your friend is doing something, that does not mean you also should begin to do it. I have friends, they know that I am gambling but they are not gambling. Individual should also use their brain. It is true that if something like loss ift money begins, the gambler may say he should have not met a friend that let him know about gambling, but gambling is everywhere today and there are many ways someone can be exposed to it.

I have only to blame myself and money as my first job was to in a casino in the early 2000 years where I learned everything from sport betting,horse racing and slot machines,roulette and blackjack without forgetting poker.I needed money while I was finishing my graduate studies so I opted for a job applying knowing I don't stand a chance as I thought why they should hire me,I have nothing yet I applied and received an almost immediate answer for yes.I got there and it was destiny for me to meet everything regarding gambling so I don't blame anyone except "myself".

I was not introduced to gambling just discovered it myself but I do blame people who encouraged or teased me to continue playing when I was just starting I'm glad that I can ignore these people now and learned to accept that when it comes to gambling it should be your decision that matters.

You cannot stop blaming other people for their advice or their actions but there should be a limit or a time that you will stop blaming them and be mature enough to accept that your action and decision is what lead you to where you are.
Gambling can only be risky when you cannot control it, but when you can control it you don't have to blame those who led you here.

Lots of Filipinos started on that game. Not me though. My first time gambling was with card games called Tong-Its in our country. I cannot even remember who taught me how to gamble or I learned it myself by watching the older people while they are playing. As a kid, I was always curious about what was happening in my surroundings and sometimes I wasted a lot of time just watching people play cards, mahjong, and lucky 9. Until I got my own money saved from my allowance and my portion from selling fried bananas with sugar. That's when I started gambling in small amounts and it's all kept a secret from my guardians.
After that as I grew older someone taught me how to play "Sakla" the Spanish card game where you need to win by a pair. I don't blame the one who taught me that but I am actually glad that I experienced this kind of thing growing up. Better, it made me realize how important money is because I experienced losing in that game the money that should've been my budget for a week going to work. I ended up borrowing money from my sister and after that, I didn't play that game again.

I discovered it myself and the things I learnt from gambling have given me life lessons.

I learnt that gambling is something inherent to human mind and taking risk is a common thing that people often do and that it is always a loss for the player.
Hence I decided to not gamble but use that information to become part of the casino which is the winning side.

Also learnt the math behind gambling and provably fair systems to some extent. These were something new to learn and apply for me. Hence I dont regret it.

No. Nobody is putting a gun in my head to place bets on different games so I don't see the point of putting my losses on somebody else. It's not like I was told I will always win so I knew what I was getting into.

People who blame others for their voluntary actions simply lack accountability. Even a teenager who already understands how betting works shouldn't use age and the influence from peers as an excuse.

You were introduced, not forced, the context must be correct here, if you were only introduced then you were only introduced, in fact there was no compulsion for you to gamble at that time and you could also refuse it at that time, but because you continued with it, you have no right either. blame it completely on your friend, unless you were forced to gamble by your friend from the start, I think that is the right reason for you to blame your friend.

I was also introduced by someone to gambling, but I was also reminded that there were risks, so I consciously knew that gambling was full of risks that I had to bear, so I couldn't possibly blame that person just for introducing gambling to me, because I wanted to gamble from the start. because of my own wishes. no coercion.  ;D

Personally: no.

The reason: I gamble on my own accord and on my own basis, there is no blaming each other, let alone expressing emotions for other people, based on other people or other people's notifications, if in case they also ever tell me.

I have my own principles in gambling, what's more to blame other users, for me it's too selfish, because people can only talk, what happens in the game is very different, winning and losing is at your own risk.

No, I don't blame anyone for the gambling I did and for the losses I incurred from my gambling activities. I think my decision to gamble was a decision I took consciously so that any consequences that occurred were my own responsibility. I got to know gambling from a close friend of mine, at first I wasn't interested, but because he often gambled online when we were together, I became curious to try it.

I also learned gambling on my own when I clicked a banner on one of the sites I'm working on, the first game I played was a dice game which is very addictive I lost a lot of money when I was starting out, which is just natural for a newbie who try to explore on how to make money on gambling but once I learned about house edge and how little chances you have in gambling, I become more concerned on how to control and limit my session.
You cannot blame something from where you derived your excitement, you have to learn to accept the reality that there's no use blaming someone or something when it comes to gambling, you are your own decision.

Normal for a kid to do that since we might find someone to blame so that we can escape on the consequences of what we do especially if our parents is strict about on our participation on any risky behavior you do. Also you can't feel any guilty feeling with that since you are not in proper mind to take good decisions while you play. Now since you already realize that you are wrong with that time since you are in charge with decision you do then as grown up man now for sure you learn a valuable lesson from the past and will not blame the current or existing people that might convince you to gamble on a casino.

Nothing wrong to gamble its just we need to set up some good attitude about this since if we don't have plan and let the game flow until you already done then provably this will not give us best result since we already got broke on that conditions.

Use your experience as a kid to learn from your mistake and for sure you became more better gambler with these incident happen to you.

My friend is also the reason why I gamble now, because he invited me to gamble and taught me how to gamble. Because I only play computer games and I'm addicted to it but when my friend introduced me to gambling I became interested in it too and that's why I lost a lot, wasted a lot of money but never once did I blame my friend because it was my fault too. Yes gambling is fun and it's very addictive but it's up to you how you play it.

I learn gambling by myself when I first start crypto due to dice sites here easy to access. So in my case there’s nothing to blame but me. In case someone teach me gambling then I will still not blame him because I accept it and play by myself. We shouldn’t blame someone for teaching us to gamble because we have a choice decline or ignore it if we are not interested yet we still do this.

I believe this blaming game will be different if you win a jackpot on gambling. Gambling is a game of chance, You will never know when you will hit big that’s why we should just play using extra money so that we will not be heavily affected by losses while waiting for the lucky hit.

I have never for any day regretted being a gambler or even knows how to gamble, besides I just developed interest without much putting pressure on someone to tutor me about things related to gamble. Even though I am not a regular gambler yet I don't make any regrets because I don't bet always, it's only those who are addicted gambler may only regret.

Maybe I could have, but I get into gambling myself, no one to blame if anything happen but myself, the possible blaming part is why I find it difficult to teach anyone about gambling and even investment sometimes, most people can't handle risks as I can.

It's easier to point finger when things go wrong, but if things work out fine you won't hear any complains, most gamblers are the same, they keep quiet when they are winning and when the losses in gambling is getting too much that's when you will hear their voices.

Gambling is not something you should be referring someone to, especially if they are close to you, because it will just make you look bad in the end, only very limited amount of people won't put blame on you if they lose money.

Yep winning a huge amount will totally change the whole story. Maybe consider this friend a hero or something like that.

I can't remember who taught me how to gamble when we were just in grade school there are so many faces I can remember their names still as I can see my friends in my hometown still.  The only two gambler friends I have are brothers, one has a reputation for robbing the nearby chicken farm but we are friends. I can't remember to blame them every time I lose since after the game we play we always use the money to buy burgers for ourselves.

I first played slots because there was work related to it. However, there was no obligation for me to play, but at that time I visit a gambling sites and started playing slots for the first time, just to learn the mechanics, sensations and so on that were related to my job, but in the end I was addicted. Even so, I never thought it was the job that trapped me. Because when I made the first deposit, it was my own will, even if someone told me to playing slots, the decision was up to me. This means that there is no one else to blame for our addiction or just to gambling.

I first learned gambling when I was a teen, just watching at first and ask elders how to play, but before I don't know what it would lead me up until today but NO I didn't blame anyone for learning gambling because it gave me wins and losses, let us not blame anyone because we lose sometimes, because we don't thank anyone when we win. It's a one direction of pure self-decision we had to make back then, it's to learn or not. It's not something that we can regret of, because part of growing up is learning things, learning stuff that we might or might not use of and gambling is one of things that we can use to entertain ourselves, not just by means of gambling money, earning and losing stuff.

This is interesting, and I think it all really depends on whether you gamble because of the encouragement of your friends or you want it yourself because you are tempted when you see them gambling and winning, if indeed you come because of the encouragement of some of your friends who promote gambling to you by not telling everything especially about what risks will befall you later then I think it's natural to blame them in the end, But I wouldn't completely say that's right because of course you should also have thought from the beginning if there is a chance to win then you should also be suspicious about what impact will be able to befall you, I think the defeat suffered by gamblers is quite common, and with that means you also at least already know that gambling is not always about winning but there is a risk of losing which in fact can be greater.

So the point is you also can't completely blame them because you should also consciously at least have to find out for yourself about what impact you will later receive, logically, if there is something profitable, it means that there will also be risks behind it.

Well, first of all, no one introduced me to gambling—friends or family—nah, its just me who likes to explore new things and can eventually learn to do gambling. Well, even if someone introduced gambling to me, they are not to blame. Because it's up to you if you will follow them or adapt to what they do. You have your own thinking and life, so I guess you should know what to think for yourself. Let's say yes, they are wrong for pushing other people they know into something that they should know is risky and dangerous, but what will be the result of their persuasion, whether good or bad, for the person they persuade? It's not their fault as the one who does destiny and happenings in our lives is ourselves also, so yeah, no one would be blamed, not even the one who introduced gambling to us. Maybe they were just wrong in some point, but it's not entirely their fault if anything happens to us.

Blaming people on out losses in gambling shows that we don't accept our fault and we will end up not learning on how to manage out losses. I learnt gambling from a friend but he hasn't for once told me to go and gamble or to keep chasing my losses. These are things that we do on our own will and not that we were compelled to do it.

What if it happens that the person that you are blaming for your losses because he introduced you to gambling have quit from gambling, will you also quit on that reason. This is why we are to be blamed on every actions that we carry out in gambling because, we have the right and choice to gamble or not. Some people run at loss due to greed, who will you blame for your greedy nature.

I never blame anyone for playing gambling because this is of their own accord while the environment is familiar with this so it would be natural if they tried to play at first but after playing once or up to three times then it was addictive but not the invitation of a friend but the sensation of gambling is always hot when the money runs out always wants to deposit again.

So don't blame anyone, when you are contemplating maybe yourself is to blame because at the beginning you only try and then become addicted, but when you are still in control why blame because it is not hot money that is used to make extra money but I don't know about others, this is just myself with it.

So when there is a bigger loss then I myself am responsible.

It's wrong to blame others for your own actions/mistakes... nobody forced you to gamble, and for sure you didn't think about it while you were playing and having fun. We have all made mistakes during our lives, some less and some more, that's for sure... but we certainly shouldn't blame others for our own mistakes.

I like to gamble, and I don't regret losing money on gambling and spending time on gambling... money/time is always spent on something, one way or another. Maybe I could have used them for something better, but that's not so important, I do what I like and I know that every hobby costs.

No, because I started gambling voluntarily and I have never gambled addicted to it except for my addiction which didn't have a serious impact on me when I first started. Since my gambling addiction only occurred while I was a high school student and I didn't have much money during the periods I mentioned, I didn't lose any serious money. For this reason, I didn't experience any regret or feeling of blaming anyone during the time I was addicted to gambling. Nowadays, I don't have any regrets or any hatred, resentment or similar feelings towards anyone for getting me used to gambling because I gamble only for fun. I think this will continue in the coming years because I haven't had a gambling addiction for a very long time and I don't think I will based on my current playing pattern.

The only person or people that we have to blame when it comes to gambling habits or gambling losses is OURSELVES.  I have never blamed anyone before because I pretty much taught myself how to play all the different games I play as well as how to bet on sports, which is what I gamble on most.  So no, I could never see myself putting the blame on anyone other than myself.

Nobody introduced me to gambling, it was a trend, and I decided to follow it. I was blessed with a huge winning when I Started gambling and I see that as a welcoming winning, since then I have not had any major wins like that again but I will not blame myself for getting into gambling because I have deployed a strategy that guides me not to be addicted to it.

Nobody deserves to be blame for anyone going into gambling. I know that we cannot downplay the role of peer pressure here but then we should be pressured into doing something that we are not comfortable with doing because we want to fit in. On so many occasions, I have turned down invitations to join friends to the casino because at that point in time I knew that I should be gambling. Maturity demands that we hold ourselves accountable for our actions. On the other hand we only blame when there is a loss. I don't think we praise or commend those who led us to gambling if any whenever we are having a winning streak.

This is familiar to me because I do the same thing during fiesta. I know we are on the same country because of similarites of events. If we are on the same country, there is no way for us to be innocent in gambling. 😅 As we are influenced by foreigners during old days. I cannot blame myself on that because I am having fun as well. When I was a kid I was so lucky to bring home some of my winnings from the "perya".

In my case, it happened indirectly. in our society, there are habits that seem to have become culture at that time. If there is a wedding event, local people will come together to help run the wedding the next day. While waiting for morning, the adults who stayed up late will do a kind of mini casino. however, in group play. If anyone is in my country, they will definitely understand things like this. In short, there will be many groups divided into gambling, there are those who play rummy, dominoes, capsah, which are basically dominated by card games. There are those who bet using real money, there are also those who just have fun without risking anything.
The point is, without being taught or on purpose, I understood for myself what they were doing. and in the end, I got to know gambling.

Well, it's different from soccer betting and all that. of course, someone will teach or give tips. over time, gambling became familiar to me. If we talk about losing and winning, both traditional gambling, land-based casinos and online casinos, I think it's a common problem. if only, if I pulled back or repeated the past. and I wasn't interested at first, maybe I wouldn't have known about gambling until now and that doesn't rule out the possibility. but in fact, we are already involved so far.  So what else should we look for besides fun. if I want money, then work. If I want to have fun by spending just a few dollars, that's fine. most importantly, consistency and responsibility.

It is common for young minds to blame someone for their failure or problems. That is why gambling is not for children but for adults. The gambling age in my country is 18+ and at this age, everyone is responsible for his or her actions. I have blamed a relative for introducing me to a habit that affected my health but at a point, I discovered that he didn't force me to continue which entails that I chose my path. I was introduced to gambling by a co-worker but I have never blamed him for my losses because I enjoy gambling. Gambling gives me a level of entertainment that I don't get from any other games. If you blame someone for your losses, will you also thank or praise him when you win? Maturity is one you take full responsibility for the outcome of your life.

That's not "in a fun way" if you have feelings for the following

• Guilt
• Regret
• Hate

That's not "entertainment" or "fun" in any aspect. You are just tricking yourself into making yourself feel that it's okay. Since you know that you are somewhat attracted to it, I think that's the start of acceptance and you really need to push as much as possible that you can overcome that urge to gamble in the color game.

Well, we can't deny the fact that when we're young we do like adventures and those thrilling moments and I think gambling with yourself as well as with yourself is similar to that. I'm not that type of individual that will try to blame into something that I have control over, I can ignore him/her to gamble so it's solely on my decision that I'll get into something. Yeah, we can't avoid temptations most of the times even in gambling but blaming is on another level I guess on point of view.

At young age I knew about sports gambling from a friend who made some funds through gambling. He talked to me about gambling, as a way I could be making some fund, instead of asking for fund all the time from my parents. Then, I had no funds or device to gamble on the site, he showed me. Through his guidance I was able to learn how to play big odds on teams that seem vulnerable to their opponent. To maximize my win, if they eventually won. When I began gambling, that very site wasn't functional anymore. But, I don't remember blaming anybody about my gambling habit. I took it upon myself, as my responsibility, despite being introduced to gambling by somebody else. The last time I checked he's no longer a gambler. Already moved on with his career. Hence, he wasn't addicted, just did it as a way to make money. Neither I'm I addicted to gambling. The fun of calculating the right slot on a roulette game still makes me enjoy playing the game. Although, with little funds that'll amount to huge money if summed up today. Yet, the fun of it, doesn't ring any alarm of regret or stretching out blame on my friend. If I had not controlled the way I gambled, or lost huge amount of money in a single day. Definitely, I'll blame the friend that introduced me into such a lifestyle. It's actually the reason, me as a person, doesn't direct anybody into gambling as a method of earning money. I'm surprised that a good number of friends who made money via gambling, stopped along the line. With no going back, at the top of their of mind. I prefer letting people choose what, how, and when they want to spend their money. Especially regarding gambling.

No. I don't think I have ever been in a situation where I have willingly chosen to blame any loss to someone or something else but my back luck. Though, I can understand someone who is losing an considerable amount of money may need a way to unlash their rage and disappointment for their own bad luck by screaming and blaming whoever introduced them to gambling in the first time.
Because it can be a very strong feeling to realize how much one has lost and the almost bull chances of getting some of it back, by gambling more.

It is better to avoid to find yourselves in that circumstances and try to find other ways to vent our feelings when we have a bad luck streak/session some day.

I wouldn't go that far and blame them only because they're the ones who helped me start gambling. If I have to blame someone, it's only myself because i'm the one making the decisions, and i'd rather spend this time making solutions for my gambling problem than feel annoyed about someone from the past who introduced gambling, knowing it won't change anything. I remember experiencing this kind of scenario with other topics and it only helped me learn how to move on because it could become a habit if you can't adapt and continue to blame others for what they did.

I may blame one if they are the ones betting my money without my knowledge but the fact that I'm playing my own money it is my loss. No, I wouldn't be blaming someone who taught me how to play. At the time when I was taught to play and gamble, I enjoyed it.

Whether I become a gambler for life or not, I will still be grateful to someone who taught me. Although that guy treated me like a weener, I voluntarily became his sidekick working in his shop.

This thing happens not just in gambling but also investment introduced by friends and if it turns up to something without gain the person who introduced it will be hold responsible for the continuous loss. That is why it is important people should not be desperate just because they want to make money from gambling and go into it. It something that knowledge needs to be gained to minimise losses that will occur.  Whenever gambling loses is much it is just better to have a break or quit because playing continously will cause regrets and pains. People needs to always have the mindset of playing with the amount they can afford to lose.

The person who lead you gambling.

Should blame and punish themself. I a gambler, I never ask or trying to lead everyone or my friend doing gambling because I know is bad and can effect to them. Even my self hiding my gambling activity from everyone.

I still gambling at these time sometime, for the last 3-4 years don't have any debt at all.

Never. I am filly aware that I placed my bets by my own will and initiative. Things are still in our hands; whether there is someone or no one who taught you about gambling, we have our own decision whether to be dragged into it or not even if they pushed you to do so, it still depends on you if you would  continue. Once you are making bets alone then that's you who are playing; without any influence or hearsays. Being involved in this activity or industry in general is not a bad thing however if you became greedy because of how you view gambling, that is solely under your will and desire. Same thing with vices wherein you may imitate it from other but the longevity of its stay in your life, is something which should be concerned by you.

Voting for many votes NO.

This means that many people who gamble are not based on others or their invitation is purely because of their own will so they do it, as for other people inviting while first you don't know what should be able to refuse before you start addicted, but I know it's hard to do that but I myself have no one else to teach so I never blame anyone.

In actuality, losing a bet means losing everything altogether, so even if the bettor places the blame on the person who first exposed them to betting, nothing will change. The bettor even consented to wager on a mutual basis, therefore they have no right to hold grudges against anyone. That is wise, friend. A lot depends on how you handle your losses. If you don't exercise enough self control when gambling, there will be issues because it requires careful thought. It's true that nobody is pressuring you to gamble; you are free to live your life as you desire.


Very funny question but true if the person that introduced the bettor to gambling i disagree if he will quite gambling, especially when the bettor has tasted money, he will want to win more money.
Not that anything but that is just people's nature people love money and want to get money 

When it comes to gambling involvement then there's no one had led me to learn up on how to play yet i have personally or learn up things in my own specially on online casinos on which it isnt really that hard to understand on how to play such games.On the time that i do touched up sports betting then this is where it would really be needing up some analysis on which it would really be that pretty normal.
Blaming others just because you are losing too much in gambling? It doesnt really have any sense. Why? you are the ones who have decided to play even more and not into that someone who had introduced in the first place.
Yes, he might be one of the reasons on why you do able to learn up gambling but it would really be always depending on you on how you would interact with it.

You arent forced on playing so and it is really that according into your own will if we do speak about blaming out someone then it is really just that an excuse for yourself on
pointing out your fingers just because you had made out the bad decision on which i do see for it not to be right at all. You are the ones responsible on the things
that you are really that been experience.Everything is accordance into the actions you had made.

I don’t think your situation is any different from a lot of people. People would always seek to blame someone else for their misfortunes despite knowingly partaking in such activities that brought them such misfortunes.
When I got motivated enough by a mate then to stake my very first bet, I was quite ignorant but I knew very well the game could go either way and I wasn’t upset nor did I blame anyone else when I eventually lost out on that bet.
I must admit, I felt a little bit bad I let myself be persuaded in parting with my money to lay a bet that ultimately resulted in a loss. But I definitely didn’t blame anyone else.

I didn’t start gambling early, I started gambling a few years ago. I was in my higher education before I started gambling, but the funniest part is that nobody introduced me to gambling, I learned gambling myself. I do see advertisements for some online gambling websites in my country, so I decided to register and I started gambling. Since I wasn’t expecting money from gambling, I deposited just little amounts of money, and I didn’t even gamble with the money all at once, I was gambling gradually with it, but I lost most of my gambling. I knew I could never make money from gambling.
 
But right now I do gamble with the little amount that’s going to affect me if I lose, so if I have anyone to blame, then I will have to blame myself for learning how to gamble, but I have never regretted why I learned how to gamble. Seriously, gambling is great entertainment for me, it has kept me busy whenever I am bored.
 
If you are being introduced to gambling, since the person didn’t force you to gamble always, then you don’t have to blame the person, and even if you are being forced to gamble, you should be able to make decisions yourself, you should know when to stop gambling. I'm sure if you are always winning in gambling, then you won’t blame anyone for that, but maybe because you are losing, that’s why you want to put the blame on someone else.

Once we enter into gambling, we should be aware already that we are going to lose most of the time, and never expect to stay in profits consistently. With that realization, blaming another gambler is not my thing. I should be responsible of all my actions and never put any blame to any person who lead me into gambling. That is why we should learn to set limits in gambling and practice discipline when gambling, if it's hard for you to do that, then you should not be gambling in the first place.

Gambling is always a choice, and if you see yourself often losing, that's not because your friend has pushed you into that, but because you allow yourself to fall in the trap of gambling.

Though for me no one introduced me into gambling just that I saw a friend that plays gamble and wins sometimes then he will take me out where we will chill and enjoy ourselves so i started developing interest and I was now following him to gambling hall then I normally make predictions myself and I win sometimes and lose most times but I just took it as fun since a lot of people were gambling together with me so I just normally have fun doing it and I always scrap out an amount that i will gamble with so as soon as I exhausted the amount I budget to gamble with I will just sit and watch others playing gamble.

It was that same Friend of mine that started regretting when he got addicted to gambling to the extent that he mostly sells his properties just to raise money to gamble so a day we went to gambling hall and he lost his salary at a spot while gambling so he started accusing the person that introduced him into gambling that had it been the person didn't lure him into gambling that he wouldn't have gotten himself involved in it. But for me everything that one does in life is just by choice irrespective of the person that persuaded you into it so it's left for you do accept or decline to it.

Many of us that are gambling today were led by friends or family members which is why we still see ourselves gambling today. I started to gamble after I have seen friends making consistent profits from it and it intrigue me wherever they show me their results. Gambling can be profitable to us even though we don't know how to bet and go about it. What is important is the people and friends we have around us that can always direct us on how to bet and use strategies to bet on some certain games. Many people that are still gambling today with big winnings do not even have broad knowledge about what they're betting on.

My answer for the poll was sometimes and let me explain why I choose that. I was not introduced to gambling or referred to it by someone. But some people around me were gambling and I got inspired by them and started the gambling journey. They did not teach me how to gamble but their actions around me led me towards gambling. Without any proper knowledge and experience, it was hard for me and no one told me that gambling is only for entertainment. I was running after money because I thought it was a quick money making scheme.
And after some time, I won and lost many bets. And at a point I was addicted to it. I became so depressed after losing everything in a gamble. After that I made the decision to quit the gambling. So whenever I look back I think to myself that if I haven't met those people, I wouldn't be gambling in the first place. I regret the decision for being around them. Now I have realized that it was my own decision and I made the choice. I used to blame people but now as I have recovered from that situation, I try not to blame anyone.

Sometimes when the results aren't in my favor. And that's the same for everyone I guess that when we gamble and we win, there's no blaming to be remembered of who's taught us to gamble. But when we're losing and we're having bad beats then that's the time we're thinking that whoever taught us to gamble specific games is the one that comes to our mind and we'll always have the words like, "if I have just not learned this...." then we'll be on the right place and we won't be dealing with losses.

Anyway, that's how it feels for the most of us, deep inside we're feeling the regret and frustration but we're just transforming it into words like that for us to release the frustration or even anger that we're having. I guess on this one, this is a normal thing and for us that struggles to have that moment that we're fighting ourselves to it and looking to blame not just ourselves, we'll definitely move on eventually.

 If the gambler really enjoy the gambling,then the answer will be No.I had just check the poll vote just now,nearly 88.5 percentage of the people vote for No.So being a gambler we are really enjoy the game here,sometimes gambling give us the profit.Sometimes we are forced to loss huge money,but the fact is we enjoy the gambling at the end of the day.If the gambler considered the gambling as money making tool,they will come in the 7.7% of the poll vote.We should consider the gambling as the entertainment purpose,the difference beween the gambling and other game was gambling had involve of the real money.So if the loss happened the gambler start to blame the gambling site and the person who teach him gambling.

It's because that we know that we should be accountable for our actions. If the time comes that you're thinking of the person led you to gamble should be blamed. We've got freedom and free will to follow what's introduced to us.

And like what everyone is aware of gambling, we're all in it to have some risk and no matter what the result is. It is our fault.

Whether it's a good or bad result, we're the ones to spin the roulette and roll the dice and bet with the games that we've been gambling. The person who introduced us have nothing to do with it.

NO, because I do not follow everything people around me do. Before you start doing something, you need to observe how such things have been helpful for those people that are there. Before you do that, you will decide whether to join them or not, however you join to gamble. I think it’s your choice. You don’t have to blame anyone since nobody forced you to do it. He may only introduce you to it but didn’t say you must do it, so it’s left for you to choose whether to engage yourself in it or not because the gambling you are seeing has something that still surprises me. You may see someone winning gambling; you’ll think that's how it is, and it’s not so, mate. I think you shouldn’t blame him again, or if you see gambling is not for you, you can just quit.

However, nobody taught me how to gamble, though I found out that by myself, I only saw some of these online influencers advertising gambling sites, and I visited a link that was provided in their profile. That was how I started gambling, and till today, I’m still gambling. People around me know, and I haven't introduced anyone because I always think about the outcome of it, like if I introduce someone and they lose gambling, they may blame me, and I won’t say anything because I was the one that told them about it.

No body likes losing and it is natural to feel bad when you lose especially if you have staked a big amount but on my own case I didn't have anybody introduce me to gambling. I learnt by myself so I don't blame anybody in terms of loses. I don't even blame myself  because I know it is a game of chance and either you win or you lose the bet. So no worries from me if I lose.

I don't think you are the only one guilty of using childhood allowance to gamble. Though, mine was well spent on playing play station games and we do bet between players. I lost on many occasions but believe me when I say I remember every moment of it, I enjoy every mokery and jest of me because it was fun. There is no way I would back to those moments because I can now sit in the comfort of my home and bets on what I feel like without informing anyone of what I do.

I understand that kids don't know what they do sometimes but I haven't for once blame anyone of my gambling addiction. I don't watch football before now, I use to even mock my area boys because if it's not final and national matches, I don't put interest but Real Madrid change everything since 2013 and I have been a fan and gamble when I feel like playing, I don't think I have regret anything gambling because I have never risk what I need and I don't think I will ever.

If i ever did that, I will laugh at myself for being immature and for how childish I was. Even if I was led to gambling by another person, it is now my fault that I selected to continue gambling and not stop at the time when I could, and at the time when I was been inducted into making it a regular thing to do. The  person who led you to gambling may have good intentions for it, like wanted to show you a way to have fun, or a way you could get some money while having fun. Going to confront and openly blame these people for your problems will only make then never want to share some other better opportunities with you even when they know it will be good for you and your future.

I was totally innocent about gambling until one of my friends taught me about this. Well, at first was happy because the time I tried, I was lucky that I won some and so I said to myself that there is easy money in gambling. But all the happy moments ended when the situation turned the opposite as I continued gambling, not a single bet I placed had won anymore and very unfortunate that all of my allowance had been lost already. That was the time I realized that gambling doesn't make you money if you are hungry already to win and even blamed myself.

Maybe I was lucky and never had such an influence, but rather stumbled into it myself which perhaps led to it not being so addictive. There is so much content and gambling sites out there now, with so many different sources of advertising, that it's quite possible for people to bump into this without anyone else directing them there. However personally I'd never share or encourage anyone I knew to do it if I was there with them. Just because there is the potential to lose so much money and it can draw out certain addictive tendencies, plus people often feel bad after the initial rush subsides. Knowing that gambling sites will often throw a few wins to people at the beginning is an illustration of how manipulative they can get.

i knew about gambling from my friend but i never blamed him for telling me about gambling, i never regretted it, in fact now i can manage my gambling well, i refuse to say he was guilty because he made me know about gambling, it's not good to blame other people, you gamble completely because of your own decision, not because other people continue to intimidate you, so make peace with the situation and improve it for the better ^{(try not to fall into the trap of becoming a gambling addict, and gamble with full  responsibly)}

There's always a person to be blamed at every "ugly end" ...
If the person involved is actually a big benefactor, he'll definitely not complain about being an addict - the adverse would be the case.

I think some peeps are always feeling entitled to whatever greed and urge factoid that'd make Thier addiction strive.., not necessarily the person that linked them in at first.

It's interesting you didn't blame the other gambler, similar story like myself. But, I didn't try immediately, due to some barriers like funds. If at the period, I tried and won like you did. I'd definitely feel very happy. Was it your first time making money? Your action seemed very naive, as you didn't think anymore and thought gambling is as simple as winning on your first stake. In some situation, if the player had more money, he won't quit. The fun would be gone by then, meaning business would be his next action. He could make the worst mistake of his life. Imagine, if the allowance hadn't ended, the house would've taken more. Such example, explain the importance of setting money aside for gambling. Wagering with all the money we've got isn't advisable. As regret must follow. The house takes everything, and it's normal with gambling.

Blaming other people for the gambling activities that we do will never be able to restore the situation and when we blame other people it will not provide any benefits because what remains is hatred and feelings of displeasure towards other people.
Things like this will worsen the atmosphere and can even create mental stress on ourselves.

I personally gamble not because of other people encouragement or other people invitation but because of curiosity that suddenly arises when I see people in the neighborhood where I live gambling in place or house at night.
Here where I live, gambling has become commonplace, although not everyone likes it, but we still do this activity almost every night for the past dozen years, and now the ban on gambling is getting stricter making us play or bet online.
I remember very well when I saw several people including my own friends taking part in the card game they were playing, at first I wasn't very interested but over time I started to get curious and tried it.
After some time I got to know betting shops and also several places that also provided games for betting and from here I started to feel passion for gambling.
From here, I myself am actually guilty because when was teenager I hung out with friends who had passion for gambling and all of this was the result of wrong relationships and mistakes in building my personality.

First of all I didn't learn gambling from anyone but if I learned gambling from someone then I wouldn't abuse the person from whom I learned gambling because he certainly didn't force me to gamble. How logical it is that there are many people who learn something from others and when they do not succeed and they suffer, they blame the person from whom they learned the work. No one forced me to come and teach me work, but I was encouraged to learn work from him after seeing him work, now surely he did not make a mistake by teaching me work. We need to get out of the mindset that I lost so much money today because he taught me how to do something. Try to find your own faults instead of blaming someone else who has taught you what is causing you money loss. There must have been something wrong in your learning and application.

You shouldn't blame your friends for introducing you to gambling. If your friends don't tell you, you can find out from other people even though you yourself were interested in gambling from an early age, which made you have to lose your pocket money to gamble.

I myself have never blamed other people for the gambling that I have experienced, because it was purely my own fault for taking part in gambling, but I enjoyed it and didn't lose a lot of money from gambling so I don't blame anyone. Even though I experienced a loss, I still don't blame anyone because I can control myself Yes, I'm not someone else, so if you yourself are familiar with gambling but can't control yourself then you will continue to face difficulties.

Never that I will blame someone that thought me about how to find happiness , and every wrong that
 I made is from my own decision and nothing to blame others , also It is my curiosity that brings me to gamble as I am the one
who ask a friend how this is and what is this so when he gave me trivia and understanding? yeah  that is the beginning when
 I play and win(of course winning in the beginning and losing to follow).
sometimes Gamblers are just looking for someone tp blame because they cannot admit their stupidity in
 making wrong decisions specially when they are losing and having no wins at a time.they are wanting to put the blame to others
to free their guilt away of their own mistakes.

I have never had the thought of blaming anyone regarding the gambling activities that I have done until today and this is all a choice that I have chosen to do and even though I have experienced a bad past regarding my gambling activities, I have not had the slightest thought of blaming other people. otherwise it is something silly whereas I did my first gambling when playing slot machines when I was still at school I wanted to do it myself without encouragement from anyone.

so, whatever happens in this gambling activity, I dont want to blame anyone because something we have chosen is something we have to bear the risk ourselves.

and for anyone who has thoughts of wanting to blame other people when they regret their gambling activities, remember that something you have done is a risk that you have to bear yourself, which does not mean that other people are to be blamed.

Blame or not, there's nothing that would changed because you are the ones who do make out such step or decisions and this is why you would you dont have no rights on blaming someone
on what you have been experiencing as of this moment. There are no other should be blamed on but yourself. You are the ones who is responsible on such action on which it is really
just that right that you are the ones who would be blamed. No one did really force you to gamble in the first place. Yes, someoneone had taught you about gambling
but doesnt mean they are the ones who is responsible of your losses, you do make the actions then there's no one you could be able to blame.
It is really that shameful if you do freak out someones name just because you do lost.

Even if someone were to introduce gambling to me, I would never blame that person. Holding others responsible for our choice to gamble and the subsequent losses is an act of irresponsibility and a sign of immaturity. The mere fact that we choose to engage in gambling indicates our awareness of the risks and our willingness to accept them. Blaming someone else is senseless; it reflects our reluctance to acknowledge our own failures or losses.

I didn't like gambling since childhood. Besides, nobody likes gambling in my area. Although many are secretly gambling. I had a good friend whom I loved very much. Because he always showed me the right path. But suddenly I noticed that he was gambling. Then I was quite surprised because a man like him would gamble which I never imagined. I used to walk with him. Sometimes he shared his winnings with me but never asked me to join gambling. But sadly, the truth is that I gradually became addicted to gambling. I also started gambling  like him and it is still on going. I have gambled and when I make a big loss, I sometimes scold him in my heart. Because he involved me in gambling indirectly.

It really took me a lot of time before I went from knowing that gambling was a thing to actually doing it, and by that time there was no way that I could convince  myself of using that excuse as I knew gambling was my own decision, however it does not really surprise me if there is a lot of people out there that think like that, since it is way easier to blame someone else from their problems than to try to fix them by themselves.

I'll tell him jokingly so he doesn't feel hurt because he invited me to gamble. This is so that it doesn't have an impact on our friendship, where if we blame our friend too much for introducing us to gambling, it could cause the friendship to break down. But if I have experienced losing from gambling and I hate myself if I lose, I will try not to gamble too often. I still gamble but try to reduce my gambling activities so that I don't lose too often. We also shouldn't blame him for doing that because maybe at that time, he was just inviting us to have fun by gambling. We were actually wrong because we followed what he said, so we should introspect and improve ourselves.

Sometimes I do that whenever I lose a big amount but I also thank him when I win a big amount that was now I have learned to move on and be responsible for all my actions, you need to be mature in gambling or people will call you childish if you keep blaming other people for something they recommend to you when you have the decision to decline or refuse to play.
Hopefully, I will win a life-changing amount and I will give the one who introduced me to gambling he is my cousin so he is part of the family and he can take my joke of sometimes blaming him.

Why should you blame someone for something that they have no control over? Let's say you click on someone's gambling signature campaign banner and you win a huge jackpot at the casino that he or she represented.... will you thank that person for introducing you to that casino?

The majority of people never take responsibility for their own actions and always want to shift the blame to someone else. If you are introduced to something and you cannot control your self .... stop doing it or get help.... and remember that the person that introduced this to you.. has no control over your actions or the casino where you are playing.  ::)

Do you know that majority of people are not introduced to gambling? What just happened is that they see someone that is gambling which can be their friend or someone that they know or they see the gambling ads somewhere like while browsing on their phone or computer. But what you said is very true, even when they are not introduced to gambling, they will still want to blame their losses and miserable life to who let them know about gambling. I mean the person they know that is gambling that they follow his path and start gambling.

I haven't and I think nobody should because when you win do you thank the individual that taught you how to gamble or you just go and spend the money. Nobody force you to be gambling, the individual only taught you how to gamble and you're the one doing it by yourself with or without him been present so you owe it to yourself for any results you get. If you don't like how gambling makes you feels then stop doing it. Putting the blame on others isn't something we should be doing.

It's very wrong to blame others, we should take responsibility for our actions so we can learn from them. Gambling when done rightly is fun and won't cause you losses, we should have a budget so we don't over gamble and use money that was meant for other things for gambling. We shouldn't be greedy when gambling and also have a discipline so we don't go around blaming individuals that taught us how to gamble when we lose because of our ignorant.

No, first of all, I wouldn't start to gamble if I didn't want to do so. Meaning, it's my own decision.
Blaming someone who taught me to gamble does not cross my mind even once. When I start gambling, I know the consequences and responsibilities I should face. It includes the possibility of losing my money and no one is responsible for it but myself.

Blaming someone for your own mistake shouldn't cross anyone's mind. It's the gambler's responsibility to face your losses as you know to yourself the risk of gambling. Let's say someone taught you to gamble, but it's all up to you whether you will continue to gamble or not.

I will never blame the person who taught me how to gamble because he is right in teaching me how to gamble but when it comes to playing it is entirely up to my own will. After learning if I don't play he can never force me to play. To gamble and win it mostly depends on luck. In the context of online gambling it is our responsibility to understand the risks involved and make informed decisions that prioritize our well-being. This means knowing when to stop setting realistic limits on how much we spend time and money and asking for help when needed. I will never want to ruin our relationship with blame. If you see that there is more risk involved then keep yourself under control and avoid gambling.

After many things happened in my life, I learned to forgive and learn from my mistakes. When mistakes or achievements have been made in the past that are recognized by oneself, they have occurred under one's own decision. So blaming someone for your own behavior only shows ignorance and the limits of awareness.
In the past, I didn't know the cause of problems, so I sometimes used unfounded blame, but it clearly couldn't help me solve everything. Instead, I transformed by making positive life changes and avoiding problems and evil. In my eyes, money has never been an evil thing, but the main nature of evil comes from people. Yes, we are the source of all problems, so always choose to be positive, love, help each other...

Well it was just me. I saw other people do it and I got curious. Theres no one to blame in case I lost myself in gambling thats why I try to stay in control. But unless you are manipulated to gamble, I think thats when it is really blamable. No one should be forced to gamble against their own will, we should be able to make our own choices.

Though I get your point but it's a human nature pointing fingers each time there's something wrong happens in their lives, not generalizing but there are people who think that blaming someone with their mistake can lessen the burden inside them, but it's true that no one should be blame as it's still you who decide to bet your place and gamble.

Even someone force you to gamble but if you really don't want to lose your money chances that you will not continue or you will just play once and never to repeat whatever the outcome might be.


Same with what I've said above, even if you are being forced but if you really doesn't like the venue you will not continue doing it, maybe you will just give it a try and stop or quit after, it's your own decision and there no one should be blame after you made that decision!

I never blamed the person who brought me into the world of gambling when I was in my first year of college. At that time I lived in a boarding house with him, which was far from my parents. He showed his habit at night with his smartphone. He said to eat tomorrow we need to enjoy the game. He told me to open a bank account because the gambling I was playing was not a crypto casino.

After finishing college, I realized that he actually taught me how to gamble actually. Gamble to enjoy and play to target small wins just to be able to eat once even if not to be full. Gambling is not to get rich.

People who do really love to blame up someone are to those total losers on which they cant really just that able to accept that they have lost that much. Also you arent that forced on playing in the first place.
It is really on your own will and there's no one should really be blamed but you. You arent that being forced to make deposits and it is really just that on your own decision so you dont have the right on pointing
out fingers or really that saying something into someone and blaming them on what you have become. You are really just that making yourself laughable if you are just simply whining and crying
because of the losses you do have.

This is why it would really be always that best that you should really be that mindful about on how you would gonna spend and not really that going overboard or certain situations that you are
already spending your life savings or those funds which are really that saved for important things. Make yourself that responsible and you wont really be making such problem
into your life when it comes to financial status. Gamble for fun and not to look back if ever you do experience losses, it is really just
that part of the game.

Blaming someone for introducing you to gambling? No, I never did that! The truth is that gambling, especially in games like Fiesta's color game, appeals to our love of risk and excitement. Remember, personal choice and control matter. Yes, your friend showed you the game, but you held the dice. Every roll, every bet? It was you. We've all joked about 'blame' when things go wrong. Deep down, it's like eating too much candy then blaming the store, right? We know the risks and stakes, but we jump for the thrill. The highs, lows, and excitement of the unknown are all part of the fun of gambling. Games are supposed to be fun

It seems I have forgotten who taught me to gamble for the first time. I started gambling as a child, teenager, or playing online gambling, but I can't remember who invited me to try my luck at gambling. Moreover, if I knew who it was, I couldn't blame him because, at that time, I didn't know anything about gambling and just used my free time to gamble.

And now that we are all adults, we shouldn't blame the people who asked us to gamble. We have to realize that gambling too often can make us addicted to gambling. We must try to limit the time and money spent on gambling so that we can avoid the problems that can arise.

That question crossed my mind before but no I never answered it with anything other than a no, I can't really blame others for introducing me to gambling because it makes me go to the place where I avoid the responsibility when I should've been the one that's responsible for my actions. And another thing is that I can't blame the person who introduced me to gambling since I've forgotten his name and face anyway, I guess it's a good thing that it's gone that way. Probably should be thanking them because gambling's been a part of my journey in life and it's a probably a dull journey if there was no gambling that I've done in my life.

Your friend seems to be a gambler who is talented and experienced, so he knows the true meaning of gambling, not just to seek wealth or make it a source of steady income, at least being able to win a little for life's necessities is already good, meaning he maintains his mindset. healthy so you don't gamble excessively anda really enjoy the game and indirectly it teaches you how to control yourself and prevent addiction.

Fortunately, you don't study that too deeply, if you continue to gamble all the time, you might end up playing beyond the limits of your friends' guidance until now, because playing gambling without proper control will make us forget everything, even the people around us, my advice is You must continue to remember how your friends led you to gamble and always remember that gambling is not for seeking wealth and most importantly never blame other people for our mistakes in consciously gambling for ourselves and at the risk for ourselves.  ;D

I don’t think it can be said to be human nature to want to put the repercussions of our actions on sometime else. Admittedly, there are a incredible number of people that do so, I disagree that it’s human nature.
People who lay the fault of their actions at the feet of others are likely to repeat the same mistakes as in their minds, they aren’t to be held responsible for their own actions. Not wanting to be solely held accountable for their actions, they would seek to share the fault with someone else and who better to share the fault with than the person who introduced you to gambling? Such people are quick to solely accept any praises or food fortunes but are eager to share all faults.

After gambling loss there is no way to blame anyone because no one will tell you that gambling can only make you profit. Because everyone will tell you that gambling is very risky. so you have to accept that risk and start gambling. On the other hand, when you win something from gambling, you don't give it to anyone else. So even if you lose gambling, you can't blame anyone because you start gambling with risk. It will be your own failure to start gambling on other people's intelligence without recharging yourself

I never blame anyone when gambling becomes a detrimental activity. And even though there were other people's roles in getting me to know about gambling, those people only offered, not forced me to gamble. However, if in the context of this someone forces me to gamble, then I will not blame that person and to be precise, I will hold that person responsible, because he is the one who put me in the dark valley of gambling.
 
But if we just wait for other people's accountability or are busy blaming other people, then we will never find a solution to get out of this problem. and what I will do, I will continue to try to solve this problem, even if I have to give up gambling.

I am astonished by this, alright mate after the very first dream that Les to your unending gambling till date have you ones again had this sort of dream? And if Yes, did the random number gave you a win again? Am just curious! Due to how I have heard people even in my locality talk about getting pool numbers in their dreams and they played those numbers just as they had seen it in the dream and it turned out that they won the bet, something I have never believed and still don't subscribe to till now. Or is it that gambling has gone spiritual for results to start materializing physically from the spirit realm.

Sometimes, I blame myself for not getting into gambling too early. Maybe, just maybe I would have won a lot more money in gambling than I have done so far. Maybe I would have been more daring and bold with my bets then than I do now. Now, I got too much to lose and take absolute responsibility for my actions and inactions with regards to gambling. Only weak people blame others for their choices. Whether I was introduced by someone or not doesn't matter, I am in control of the outcome now through my strategies, bankroll and risk managements, budget, etc.

Yep, I can really confirm that with the experience that I had in the past. I had no guidance about anything regarding gambling so me knowing that gambling is only entertainment was impossible. Also, I was young and made some bad decisions. Maybe if I had a guidance or someone to tell me that this is the right thing to do and this is the wrong, maybe I won't blame anyone. But for me it's not actually blaming other people for teaching me the gambling. Rather sometimes I blame them and sometimes I blame myself for being around them which led me to gambling.

But now I know what it is and how it will actually work. But I am afraid that I may get addicted again, and this time there will be no turning back.

In my case, I don't remember very well how I started getting into the world of gambling, but I remember that more than 10 years ago I bought some lottery tickets and didn't win anything and then I gave up on the lottery, a few years ago. I got into sports betting thanks to the forum and honestly, I don't blame anyone for my losses, because it wouldn't make any sense to blame other people for my losses, no one forced me to play, no one threatened me to play, so no It would be fair to blame the forum or anyone else for my losses. When a person creates an account at a casino, that person is agreeing that they are of legal age, that is, they are being responsible for themselves so that any loss they have should not be blamed on other people.

but unfortunately the reality is that many people when they are recommended by other people to play in a casino or even buy the lottery, when they lose they start to hate and blame the people who recommended them, I know this because unfortunately I went through something similar, in which I had a clear rule that I would not talk to relatives outside my home about gambling, but unfortunately I broke this rule and told someone that I place sports bets, I thought there would be no problem. but unfortunately I made a lot of mistakes, at first the guy had a great victory and didn't complain about anything, after the defeats started then the guy started blaming me, the hate was visible on his face, I was very shocked by that type of behavior so I decided not to talk too much about games, but as currently in my country many people have been playing games, so sometimes I talk about a game

LoL I think about it all the time, especially when I make a huge loss, I'd start by asking myself, why did I even come here, how did I even learn how to gamble, who taught me? And then I'll instantly remember back then when I was in College. Although I've gambler a few times, but I didn't really do it on my own, I'd give someone money to help me place any kinda bet that pops into his mind because I didn't really know how to do it. The fist time I staked a bet was a game I actually dreamt about, I wake up and asked someone to help me stake the game, I did win the game and it kinda lured me into gambling and made me pick a level of interest in gambling. Even at this point,I still didn't know how to bet on my own, not until a friend of mine took time to teach and lecture me on how to do it. Sometimes I just wished I never learned lol. Because I felt it would have been better I stuck to my old method rather than having to do it myself now

There's no one to blame, it's just my own responsibility to love the game. I never blamed anyone who gave me cigarettes for the first time until I became addicted, the same goes for gambling because from the start I knew what the consequences would be. I get lost in games and illusions, but I don't forget that self-control and budget limits must be had so as not to have a bad impact on me and my psychology.

The first article is that they are never wrong and do not deserve to be blamed. The intense curiosity about the feeling of a big win has fueled me to increase my intensity, but in the end I realized that fun should take priority over the pursuit of victory.

If the outcome of our expectations with gambling are exactly as we wanted, we wouldn't want to blame anyone for introducing gambling to us, but if we are not achieving what we wanted to begin to manifest some strange and weird characters with gambling and we are always loosing, then we may finds it a thing of shame and take it offensive against the person that introduced us to gambling, but we must never forget that no one ever forced us into gambling or to do against our wish, we by ourselves make decisions for being a gambler.

In my opinion the most important and the main thing that gamblers, especially those who will just come to get involved, must understand is that they must understand what is in gambling, on the other hand I am sure that their main focus is winning and usually the winning opportunity is a big driver for them to come. Simply put is in gambling if you want to win means you also have to be ready to lose, that's the most important thing that must be understood, even if for example you come because of a friend's invitation I think you can't blame it entirely on your friend because of course you should suspect what risks are behind the big winning opportunities, because obviously the general perspective of gambling in the eyes of society is very negative, with that alone I think you should be able to know and conclude that there are big risks waiting for you.

So the point is in my opinion you should be more able to be a responsible gambler by understanding all the possible risks that can occur, after all, on the other hand gambling is nothing more than an activity for entertainment only, why do many people suggest it? because if you are too serious in pursuing victory then the opposite will happen, you will suffer defeat. So all the best decisions are in your hands, and right on the other hand you yourself do it so maybe you are just unlucky.

Yes, I once had the same exact feeling blaming a friend of mine who introduced me into sportbetting, and the worst part of it is that this feeling only always comes whenever you are losing a bet, but never always come when you are winning, as at that time, you will be filled with excitement, forgetting the fact gambling is just like a double edge sword, whereby you are likely to win or lose, and as such always advisable to gamble with an amount you can always afford to lose, and never borrow money to gamble.

I know it's the common nature of most people, that's why it should be changed. Everything we do is our own decision. Meaning, that even if there's someone telling you to do something the final decision will still be coming from us. Pointing fingers won't do anything good or even bring back what we have lost especially in gambling.

Exactly, it's all up to our own decision. Whether you are being told to play gambling, whatever the outcome may be, it is still your own decision if you will continue to play or not. Don't let other people dictate what you will do in life, and don't blame the other person if the outcome does turn out the way you expected.

People who blame someone because of their own fault means they can't control themselves which is a gambling addict. If you have a friend who smoke, does it mean you're a smoker too? nope, you have two choice: getting close with him and become a smoker or set a boundaries and you still become yourself.

Since I always being responsible with my choice, I never blame anyone.

Well, you probably weren't mature enough to know much but if it's about two adults, I would say that the only person who is to be blamed for your gambling activities is yourself even if someone else suggested gambling to you, it's your responsibility to make sure that you are not doing something that can harm you mentally, physically, or financially, and you don't just start doing something just because someone else told you to do it, we are humans and we should be sensible enough for these things.

So, one should never blame someone else for their activities no matter what. If you are my friend, I come to you and tell you that there is a thing called Bitcoin and it provides great profits if you invest at the right time, and if you go ahead and make investments without doing any research yourself, you can't blame me for that because I just told you about it and it was your choice whether you should go for it or not and you should also do some research before you go for it.

Stop blaming other people because it means nothing to us when we leave the game with a loss, maybe some people here sometimes also think that they have to blame the person who introduced gambling to themselves especially after experiencing a big loss, the same goes for me personally, sometimes I too think the same but I realize that all of this is my own fault and there is no need to blame anyone because if we ourselves are not interested in starting gambling then of course we are not interested even if there are close friends who introduce gambling.

Even that person taught you how to gamble, you cannot blame them for the outcome of what you've done, especially if you are suffering obsession and consistent loses, Besides The first time you learn gambling, you were the one who made your own decisions. You can't say that other have influenced you because in the first place, you have your own decision whether you want to become like them or not.

They blame because they need to vent out thier frustration or they need to escape from originality. Not everyone has the power of self control as you might be not addicted to gambling but you would be addicted to other things. A lot of addiction  start with introduction from our friends. It is all about choice and how you were raised in your childhood and who were or are your friends.

That's good, we shouldn't follow what our friends do, even if we are always with them doesn't mean we have to follow what our friends do,  because everyone has their own rights. Being responsible for one's own choices cannot be done by many people, sometimes people choose a decision and when a problem occurs, they instead throw the problem on others do not want to realize the mistakes they make themselves in my opinion it is a loser.

I have a friend who always invites me to gamble, but in the end I also follow the invitation, what is unfortunate is that they do gambling like desperately pursuing victory in gambling, even though I once told him that gambling is only a paid game and the rest is just entertainment.  If you want to make a living, you shouldn't gamble because it will cause big problems in the future. In my opinion, the gambling that many people do in pursuit of victory will drain their wallets or finances, because they have fallen into the trap and they always feel the desire to continue gambling. The good thing is that I can still limit myself to gambling so that I don't chase victory too desperately.

If it wasn't going to be your friend it was going to be any human being and if it wasn't a human being, some commercial form, social network, etc. it is a weak thing to want to blame a third party for these types of things.

There are things in this area that can really be associated with people, to "place" the "blame" and they are sports data, betting a certain amount of money on whatever, hence those are influences that can be detrimental to a relationship. of friendship, and in any case we must remember that whether we want it or not, in the end it is our decision and responsibility to understand what harms us and what does not.

That's true because they probably want to tell us about the things they do. They also don't know that in the end, they will become addicted to gambling even worse than what they experienced.
This is why we must always be careful in receiving information, especially about gambling games, especially if we do not have good self-control.
This can cause us to become deeper into gambling so that we will experience gambling addiction. We also have to be careful in introducing gambling to other people because we don't know whether he also has good self-control or not.
It's better if we don't say anything about gambling to other people because we also won't know whether they will blame us or be able to accept what we give them.

Including the environment can also actually influence you to gamble but again this is your choice you can determine which is good and not, the rest blaming others is not ethical just because they are addicted now, think again how they make choices among friends who invite them.

Even though you grew up in such an environment if you can resist the temptation of friends' persuasion about gambling games, you may be able to overcome by refusing and never playing, but what becomes addicted is curiosity but after that it becomes addictive.

No, personally I'm only thankful for being introduced to gambling, because it added extra knowledge and experiences in my life. Thanks to gambling, I've learned to not be so naive and to understand probabilities and mathematics in general in a more deeper way. Of course, losses are part of the process, but since there is a learnship beyond it, I think it's pretty worthful and I wouldn't mind following the sames steps I followed previously, within the person who introduced me to gambling, even more because I have very good memories about the moments we had betting together.

Moreover, someone who is gambling because another person taught them and they are not making profit or not enjoying the fun in it then should quit. But the point is people join with the believe to make profit and when they have started losing it will become difficult for them to stop as they will be naively thinking they have lost out but never remembering that while they keep playing, they will keep losing. Like the smoking analysis you gave, it is not forced on whoever but why people join gambling easily is because of greed of getting rich quick which never get to happen unfortunately to their dismay.

Yes, that's right, I think there's no reason to blame anyone because we have the choice to refuse to gamble or not, just like whether we want to smoke or not when our friends are smoking, that's a simple thought because we consciously gamble for ourselves and at our own risk, so why? We have to blame other people, even though other people taught us to gamble, we still have the right to reject it.

If we continue, it will be the same as a mistake, we have gambled fully consciously so there is no other person's fault, gambling must be wise and responsible, experiencing defeat is already part of the risk of gambling, if you don't want to experience the risk of gambling, you should not try it. To gamble, look for other activities that are not risky.

For me, I have never blamed the one who introduced me into gambling, reason being that I actually introduced myself, my friend did tell me about gambling and asked me on several occasions to join him in Betting (he was majorly into sports betting and lotto at the time), I have always refused, and he was always cool with my decision.

I, on my own decided to join him in gambling after he got lucky at a time and won a really good amount of money, from sports betting, and just about two days later, he won even a bigger amount of money from lotto with a very small amount of money he staked.

This was when I got really interested in the gambling, because I never imagined that it was possible to win such an amount of money, I on my own decided to join him in gambling, he did tell me the risks involved, I still agreed to play.

Since then, I have always been responsible for the outcome of all my gambling decisions, I blame no one.

It would be foolish of us to blame someone from whom we have learned something. Education given by our school teachers or college teachers, the same education has been well received by some and the same education has not been well received by anyone. The one who received education well will praise the teacher but the one who says that education is well received will not slander that teacher at all because the teacher sees everyone equally and the teacher taught everyone equally. Some had interest and some had no interest. I learned about gambling from him but he didn't come and force me to learn gambling but he taught me because we showed interest and he definitely deserves thanks. As you said after I learned he can't force me to gamble I won't gamble if I want to. I don't think those who do understand this will ever blame the person from whom they first learned about gambling.

Friends can actually lead one into doing some things that they may not want to do, but those friends don't force you to do what you don't want to do. There's a saying that "you can take a hose to the river, but you can't force it to drink." Friends can convince you to do what you may not want to, but the decision is absolutely left for you to decide if you want to do that particular thing or not, and even if you don't want to, your friends will not force you at gunpoint. If you gamble once and you don't like it because you lost, then it's still your decision to quit. If I am regretting anything, I regret the fact that I did that thing. I don't blame anyone but myself.

I don't really put a blame on anyone because even though they taught me how to gamble, I still had the chance to decide if I will continue or I will drop it and definitely not continue with it but then I enjoyed the fun I got from it and since then I have continued knowing what it entails.

I was first introduced to gambling by  a friend and after, he first taught me offline but I taught my self how to do it online when the demand for convinience became important. I had to learn for my self to do it online without having to visit the casino often to be able to place bets, so recently my profit and loss is something I will not associate with the person who taught me.

Those who understand that argument will not blame anyone for their actions, though people have different points of view and we can't avoid smeone who loves blaming games, when making mistakes instead of accepting it and moving forward they will find someone to blame and most of the time, they are pointing fingers to people who show them how to play the game.

Bad habit that we can't deny that exist, gambler who's blaming someone about their gambling participation is just using it as a scape goat, just don't wanna be blamed for how they became after gaming.

No, but I did think a lot back then about what if I hadn't learned how to gamble or if I was never exposed to gambling, I wondered what life would be like. blaming the people who exposed me to gambling never really came to my mind, gambling at a young age brings a lot of good memories for me, bingo and card games are pretty popular in my country and it is what me and relatives usually play if there is an occasion and a lot of relatives are in one place. though gambling is dangerous, gambling is not always bad, a lot of families bond over it and create good memories around gambling.

at some point, you will also thank yourself for experiencing those kind of thrills, and fun and entertainment. life is too short not to enjoy little things in life. if you are in gambling not because you are aiming for stable income, i guess, you will appreciate more about this game. but if you got addicted and would have a lot of financial troubles, i believe, that's when you will blame whoever brought you to this part of your life.
but if you are just enjoying the games from time to time, or bet your favourite sports and be happy about it, then, there's no reason for you to blame anyone. because this is your life, and you have your total control of your life.

No, I never blamed people who thought or led me to gambling.  First, that person never forced me to play.  Second, it was my decision to continue gambling despite the fact that I am losing.  Third, it would be childish to blame someone for our own doing.  Lastly, be a man and take responsibility for our actions.  No one forced us to gamble or continue our gambling activity why blame it on someone who happened to influence us to partake in gambling many years ago?

I don't blame anyone because I gambled because of my own desires, because I saw and judged that it seemed fun.
And the first time I played it, it turned out to be fun and that's what made me keep gambling. However, I already know in advance the consequences of being involved in gambling, so I limit my gambling activities and when playing I only use sufficient capital.
And to this day the person who taught me to gamble is still on good terms with me and meets often, and when I often accept defeat I never blame him and in fact that is the topic of conversation when we meet. And I also consider gambling to be just entertainment in my spare time after being busy working and so on, I am even grateful to my friend who taught me to gamble, because it has become a new entertainment that I still do to this day, although rarely.

Fortunately, no one induced me to start gambling, this was a form of entertainment that I ended up discovering on my own because of cryptocurrencies, so I can never blame anyone for entering this world.

However, I also have nothing to complain about... there was a time when I was "losing myself" in my addiction, but before it consumed me I managed to master the situation and today I play responsibly, betting only a small percentage of that that I earn exclusively from subscription campaigns.

I confess that it's not enough to have full fun, but I consider it to be a safe margin that prevents me from becoming addicted to the games.

I agree, that's definitely an important thing not to blame those people. I sort of started smoking just exactly as you mentioned, I had a friend who smokes all the time, and I didn't smoke at the time, and I was very young, like 17-18 when I started, and he was smoking and I was in a very terrible situation, life sometimes throws a terrible news at you, like death of a loved one, and I picked up a smoke from him to smoke in order to maybe relax, that was my mistake, not his, he didn't do anything, it was my own request and that was the mistake that lead to me smoking all my life. That is not something I can blame him to, and that was a bigger deal than what you think you could do.

I still smoke to this day and I do not blame him for it, he didn't do anything wrong, he didn't offered me or pressured me to smoke neither, if that was the case then maybe he would be to blame, but it was me and I picked one up, didn't even ask if I could take one, just took one, and smoking ever since.

It could surprise you but there are many people like that, they are the kind of people that cannot deal with things not going their way, and since gambling is a hobby in which we will lose the majority of the time those people do not want to admit that maybe they should have chosen a different hobby, but then they question themselves about how to deal with the fact that they cannot control the results they get from gambling and the perfect self-image they have about themselves? And they do this by blaming someone else, that is how.

I take full responsibility for my decision to gamble. Nobody else is to blame for leading me into it. We always have the power to choose whether or not to gamble, and it was my decision to place a bet. When we gamble, we must understand and accept the potential risks involved. Unless your friend has promised to refund your money if you lose if not they are not responsible for any of your gambling losses.

Theirs is one place I went to in my areas they place is called okehi, so I went there to play gambles then and I told someone who is standing beside me to teach me how to predict game in soccer for our betting centre, he responded to me that I should check the board by myself and predict it by myself, that nobody teaches people how to gamble because when it turn to the negative side of of it that we will blame him if the game cut, that I use my experience and learn through how other people are writing the code in a paper, so after the man left I asked another person and the response was as same as the first person that responded to me, so I decided to learn by myself without asking anyone how they write down the odd for Home and Away predict, so even though someone teach me and it goes wrong I will not blame the person because its what I'm desperate to know.

More often than not we get to see people with various blame-game lifestyle  wanting to transfer responsibility on someone else when they fully consented to gambling without any form of coercion. It is considered a childhood approach to living from my perspective.

Gamblers should be fully aware of the fact that gambling is 80% luck and 20% skills, no matter how skillful you are, it is not enough guarantee that you must win or constantly enjoy winning else the gambling world wouldn't even exist.

Don't blame no one when you loose in gambling and if you feel like that after your loss then it might be an indication that you are not yet supposed to be in the gambling space.

It is right to blame the person who introduced you to this mess and even right to be mad at the person too but blame yourself the more, maybe it will help you to make a change. This is why it's good to be careful of the companies we keep, and you should know that bad company corrupts good manners, and since what your friend introduced you to is not positive but negative in your life, then that friend is not a good one, at least in this context. Your life would have been better without this and the money you lost would have been prevented.

Even at that, you need to work on letting go of anything that is not good for you, and the more you grow and not stop it, the more you should rather be mad at yourself and not the person who introduced you to it because it shows you are weak in the mind. Even the person who introduced you to it could have stopped doing it entirely or not allowed himself to be pushed by it and thereby not lose money foolishly like you who let it control you in the name of fun. If it's fun you pursue, do it with the amount that is little and that does not have any bad impact on your life, it's fine, but when it has turned to wasting big money over and over again like your school fees, then it's worrisome. Still, blame yourself more and not your friend because he is not the one who actually forced you to senselessly use the money meant for other purposes for gambling even if he introduced you to the game.

The expectations those people have out of gambling are so out of line that it does not surprise me they end up experiencing huge problems to leave it behind and blame others for their mistakes, and I say this because anyone expecting to win their bets all the time has no idea how gambling works, since not even casinos which have the odds on their favor can guarantee they will win all the time, as there have been many cases in which casinos have lost a lot of money as well.

Yeah.. People get destroyed by what they expected. They know what gambling is, but they don't realize gambling is a game of chance, and the odds are always in favor of the house. This means that over time, gamblers are more likely to lose money than win it. it's baffling me to see many people continue to gamble because they have unrealistic expectations about what gambling is and how it works. it's baffling me more to see a few people keep on betting when they actually have make up for their previous losses.

Some people believe that they can outsmart the casino and beat the odds. and I have met other people who believe that they are simply unlucky and that their luck will eventually change. Still others believe that gambling is a way to get rich quickly and easily. These unrealistic expectations can lead to serious problems, such as gambling addiction, financial hardship, and relationship problems. If you are struggling with gambling, it is important to seek help from a qualified professional.

We are the same, my friend and I are like this. Why would you blame the person who introduced you to gambling, you have your own mind if you want to play it or not. It's up to the person how they handle it, how they play it. It is not the fault of the person who introduced you to gambling because he did not force you to gamble.

Yeah, it will depend on each person because there may be people who will blame other people for introducing them to gambling so that they are now gambling. But actually, if they realize it, they have the strength not to gamble, especially after they get to know that gambling can cause them to lose a lot of money. They also realize that they don't have good self-control, so their chances of losing a lot of money will be wide open, and they don't want that to happen. We can decide to gamble or not to gamble not because someone introduced gambling to us. But that is something we have to decide based on what we experience.

Definitely,at some point in time,I have blamed my friend who showed me how to gamble,and think about how I started when I've lost so much money and cannot go back  or cannot quit any more.Gambling is not something someone should even try atall.There are some that are good to play,and I don't blame myself for gambling on those ones,while there are some that that sucks you and drains energy out of you,due to the way they are demanding,and due to the way they frustrate people's effort.However,now I am used to the fact that losing is part of winning because it is losing that gives you the experience that catapults you to the next level someother times that you may try.

What do they blame them for? They only teach or inform about gambling. And we ourselves are the ones who actually have the decision to enter the world of gambling or not. because after all, before gambling, of course we already understand our own characteristics. So, yes, we ourselves have to be responsible for the decisions we make. Unless they promise various things if you follow them, this might be different, especially if they use tricks to get us to gamble. In this case, we ourselves also have to be alert and smart about all kinds of unreasonable invitations.

Everyone need to take responsibility for their mistakes and failures and stop playing the blame game. As far as you were not made to gamble under duress, then no one should be blamed when things do not go as expected.  If the outcome of these games were good,  no one would have been blamed. 

Gambling is one industry that offers free entry and exit. When the game is no longer favourable,  you can always exit. The decision to stay back is made solely by gambler. If he cannot gamble in moderation, it is solely his duty to seek for help rather than point accusing fingers.

If we have lost in gambling, we should not be blaming anyone who told us the path to gambling. I am sure no one can force anyone, Maybe the person gambling have a good experience but the one who got into gambling by his reference, may not experience the same wins and results.

Also, everyone gambles after knowing what he is doing with his money, so it's childish behaviour if any starts blaming others if he lost his money in gambling.

By the way, if he started to win and earn a lot of money from gambling, would be thankful or appraise him to the person who bought him to gamble, i guess "No", so why blame on losses only?

sometimes a gambler who loses his mind will just blame anyone after losing a lot of money.
I mean a gambler who has lost control and experiences very high emotions after losing a large amount of money he will not be able to control his emotions well and blame anyone close to him, even his own family will become victims of these emotions so it is natural for a gambler to do this blaming someone who introduced him to gambling and lost a lot of money.

It is not recommended to do things like this because gambling is a choice that we have chosen beforehand so we should be able to accept any risks without having to blame other people.

In my opinion, it is very unreasonable to blame people who have introduced gambling to us, because the person who decided to gamble is ourselves, so it is unreasonable if we blame other people for the decision we have chosen, everyone must responsible for the choices they have made so it would be better for us not to blame the person who introduced us to gambling and if we choose to gamble it would be better for us to be able to control ourselves in the games we play, don't let us not be able to control ourselves of course this will very detrimental to ourselves.

Most people, when they make a mistake, instead of realizing that the fault lies solely with them and taking some steps to avoid similar experiences in the future, look for someone to blame. In my opinion, this approach does not allow you to analyze what the problem is and eliminate it. It is up to each of us to decide how to act, but I always try to recognize my mistakes and not look for someone to blame. This is the only way to really become a better person.

I only but lead myself into gambling, so if there is any one to blame when there is a huge loss, it's no one but myself. But then though, even if someone had lead me into gambling, I still would have blamed myself for every loss that I believe is or was not supposed to happen, and this is because, I myself is supposed to be the captain of my own ship, I am supposed to control myself, atleast, one who introduced me into gambling did not force me into it, I probably showed interest in it, that is why he or she decide to show me the way into gambling, so it makes absolutely no sense to turn around and blame him or her for leading me into gambling when clearly, he or she wasn't the one forcing me to play the games I did play.

Anyone gambling with the right mindset will never blame the person who lead them into gambling, if anyone actually did.

It's normal for a teenager blaming someone for their losses especially if that friend is the one who introduced the game. Their minds are not mature enough to understand that gambling is a way to lose, once you decide to gamble, you are allowing yourself to lose your money. But at this current, mature age, its very inappropriate if you still blame other people for your losses. You should not be gambling in the first place if you resort acting that way.

Good thing that never happened to me even the first time I've played gambling. I know that gambling never guarantees profits, so let's play gambling games with caution.

You remembered  to blamed your freind who introduced you to gambling when you started to lose in gambling. Did you also remember him when you won at some point? It should not be one sided, whenever you win you should learn to appreciate him as well. Conviction is the most important thing here. You may be introduced to a certain things but your success and failure depends on you. Since your the one who manage your gambling portfolio. Whatever you do, all blame should go directly to you.

If you look at it in another perceptive, it might be you who persuaded him to teach you how to gamble. Maybe youve seen that he has won multiple times and that's when you were convince you could start your own gambling journey.

I see some people who always blame others loosely for whatever things they didn't make or when they lose their money in cock fighting and they are pointing their fingers at others while freeing themselves from any blame. This kind of person will never grow and will always left by his friends because of his attitude and bad vibes. It's really hard to be with this kind of people because we all know that it's not always a sunny day in our life and there will always come a gloomy moment when we want to have some companies who can advise us for good.

Not at any time  should anyone be blamed for anyone's loss in gambling because anyone going into gambling should  be aware of the risk as there are only two options in gambling which is either you win or loss and I don't think I've heard of a time when a gambler has been made to gamble under duress which simply  means that anyone going into gambling should be aware of the risk involved before getting involved.
One funny thing about all this thing is that, no one gets to hear all this dramas when the winnings are coming but the moment the losses starts coming,  we begin looking who to point fingers at which isn't right

The problem with other newbie gambler is they pointing out the mistake they made to other people so that they can justify what they do and have a person to blame on what they are now experiencing. But if we look at the situation on clear mind we can't really blame the person who teach them regarding on the mistake they made since they have mind to think what's best for them but they choose the worst.

Funny to hear that they create drama then if that happens much better if we stay away of that type of person since they only there for good things and blame people once they suffered for the mistake they made. That's why sometimes we should know the more the attitude of the person we are dealing or teaching on so we can avoid this mistake and give us bad remarks to other since we can't control the mind of other people to believe on what they say about us for teaching them to gamble.

I guess almost everyone, at some point, almost wants to feel this way, where you get introduced to something even if it's not gambling, and when ever you lose so much money in that stuff, you start feeling other wise and want to tear the next person apart.

It happens not just in gambling, and in most cases where the opposite happens, only a few people really accord that respect to the person who brought them in as the guy behind the success; instead, it's always a self-appraisal.
 
Me personally, I have not felt this way before. Maybe I have not really lost an amount that is large enough to trigger my anger up to this length; that could be the case, and if I'm any way I have to do that later, I might put my blame on the forum, as I have been trying out a few casinos I found on the forum lately, just to have a first-person experience with them in order to know what type they are.

Frustration of losing your bet can actually make someone to over react on certain things that they would normally not behave in such manner. This is the case with most gamblers that didn't gamble what is in their mind but where influenced by someone else that they listened to. And some gamblers want everyday to turn out good but at a bad betting day, they have irrational behaviour that you won't imagine. So we don't have to blame people when our actions doesn't turn the way we want them.

It seems a little crazy to be mad at the person who put you on to gambling. That’s a dangerous attitude to have where you blame others for your personal decisions. I think people would be much better off learning to accept responsibility for their own actions and taking the consequences without trying to find someone else to blame.

The environment. The place I grew up can be called a heaven for gambler. It is the most gambling friendly environment there is. You wouldn't find a single person who doesn't gamble or actively connected with gambling activity. Although we have law and regulation regarding gambling and the government are also strict of it, still it is  not implemented properly. People are gambling in the open and there is nobody to stop them. From very young people to old people. If anybody to be blamed, I would blame my environment.

I very much agree with what you say, for me to be in the position of the person who told me or took me to a casino for the first time, I don't blame anything, I don't know if you have ever Been in your life other than in the field of gaming. They have shown you a dangerous activity, but you have had the power to know how to control the activity or simply to say that no, since I was very little I always went out and played soccer, in fact there is no better way than playing Soccer in the street , because You learn not to be afraid of anyone, not even adults, nor anyone in the way you play, in my case I always went out to play, but one day a couple of young people played with us, and they had the peculiarity of being very well dressed, with a lot of money, and they had the skill to ask if we wanted to have money like that at our age, obviously everyone said yes, but as they did, the business was simple, just carrying drugs from one place to Another , I remember very well the astonished faces of all of us, we were 8-9 years old, the kids who arrived were About 15 years old , but all of us told him no , thank you very much but no , so everything in this life is about Taking Decisions , and Knowing how to say no.

It may be that this decision leads us to success or failure, but even if they show us what is available, we must know how to choose. In the event that they take a person to a casino and that person becomes addicted, it is not the fault of the person who took it led him , it is the fault of the most person, because that person did not force him to play, he only led him and showed him another world, where you see a lot of money and it is possible to win, there is nothing wrong there, we must always have an attitude When faced with certain events that arise in life and if we make decisions , we have to face that decision and not blame others if things went badly for us , because it is our Own fault , so that is Applicable to the topic, to the casino and to life.

Without a doubt the environment can shape the beliefs and actions of a person, so in the places where gambling is forbidden by the culture, religion or both, a person will grow up thinking it is wrong and doing what they can to avoid it, but at the places in which the opposite happens and gambling is encouraged as a way to increase the economy activity there, then a person will grow up thinking gambling is a good thing and that they should be free to enjoy it whenever they want.

Someone who gambles because of an invitation from their friend is their own fault because they are already interested, if for the initial defeat I think it is only their introduction to gambling. And if they continue to gamble and experience defeat and maybe I don't think it's reasonable if they blame their friends because it's of their own accord, even if they are not interested they can reject it at the beginning of the invitation of their friend who invites them to do gambling, if only for curiosity they can do it alone, losing or winning is not a problem as long as they don't gamble continuously, so if they become addicted in my opinion it is because of their own fault. I think if they blame others it is not natural.

I cannot blame anyone for showing me the way to Know how to gamble, rather i will be thankful to such a person because he wanted me to be happy in having fun through gambling and there's no bad or evil intention in that, atferall he never forced me against my wish, but after then, how have i been able to gamble responsibly, how was i able to make my decision on the kind of gambler i want to be, i can't blame someone else because of my personal attitude towards how i accept gambling.

But sometimes there are people like that, when they lose they blame the people who used to invite them to get involved in gambling, or in short when they experience a lot of problems and downturns as a result of their uncontrolled gambling then they will blame the people who used to invite them whether it's their friends, relatives or even people who are less familiar with them. That may happen, and usually people like that initially the people who invite them do not explain in detail about what is actually in gambling.

Or it means that the people who invite them only explain the chances of winning which are very tempting but on the other hand they do not explain that there are worse and greater risks that will certainly always be able to happen especially if they lack self-control and limits. Therefore, inviting someone to get involved in gambling is really an idea that is not recommended, none other than because later it will definitely be like this, or that means when defeat dominates the person you invite then maybe they will look for you and blame you, so it's better to gamble alone without involving others. And also on the other hand if there are people who invite you to do things that look very tempting then you should be suspicious about what is behind all that, we must be more careful.

No never, my grandfather was the one that introduced me to gambling and taught me about some of the casino games. I would never feel bad about his experienced he shared with me and all the stories he told me. I don't really see the point of feeling bad towards someone that introduced me to gambling, because in the end it's always my own decisions and I shouldn't search for blame after my own actions. Also, my grandfather has always been open towards me about the risks involved in gambling and that I should never use too much money at the casino, lottery or other gambling activities. I learned a lot from him and it was a strong bond we had for all the times he brought me along when he went card playing with his friends. All the issues I have with falling for short term temptation and not controlling my gambling habits is my own fault.

We should be the ones responsible if we want to gamble, but in reality, many gamblers end up falling into gambling and maybe if they meet the person who introduced them to gambling, they will start to blame them. But actually, we are at fault for using gambling as a way to make money. We must remember that gambling is just a pleasure that requires money so we must really limit the money. And when we know that it is gambling, we should also be responsible for gambling or we can avoid gambling so that we don't get into trouble from gambling.

At some point it occurred to me. I wasn't really knowledgeable about gambling way back and was just enticed to try because there have been so many good feedbacks from those who tried. But unfortunately, it didn't work out well for me. It became an expensive lesson learned. There were times before that I had regrets that I trusted someone's judgment, but of course I do know that I'm still the one responsible for my own decisions. Eventually, I accepted it and was able to move forward by thinking that money can be earned again, what's important is that I experienced, I learned, and I decided to do better in the future. No more resentment or any bad blood towards the person who introduced it to me.

I am of the opposite as I decided to stay away from gambling.

My father used to bring me and my brother to cockpit arenas to watch him fight various tournaments. Before the said fight, people would bet between the two (2) chickens, either "A" or "B" and the minimum bet was around $10 on our area. As you can see, my brother started with $20 and he ended up with $100; while I started with only $10 and lost the very first time I betted.

While I do understand that there were some moments when I still attempted to gamble and won a couple of times, I just cannot get myself to be addicted to a dangerous venture. Also, while others may be lucky, I just really consider myself as unlucky in these types of games which made me really decide to not to gamble.

Yes, life is a series of decisions, like gambling. We balance risks and opportunities in gambling, like in life. The casino's glittering promise of wealth tests temperance and decision-making. Gambling is a thrilling mix of chance and strategy that appeals to the human drive for control in the face of uncertainty.

Choice is our responsibility alone. Blaming others? A shelter for the weak-minded. With open eyes and a clear mind, we must approach every event, including gambling. Why label gambling harmful? Not so! It entertains, tests skill and luck, and teaches probability and psychology. Daily, every decision is a gamble. The true gambler knows risk and reward in life's big casino, not sitting at a blackjack table. Acceptance is everything; criticize is for those who refuse to grow and learn.

Not really. I started playing slots with friends as a teenager, it's something we did together and I don't remember anyone specifically introducing me to it. We just watched other people play, some of us started to try it and we all tried it.

I guess I don't hold grudges because over time I got a good understanding of how gambling works and it hasn't given me any problems.

In your case I risk saying it was good to lose on the first bet, so you didn't go ahead. Because if you had won and went further on the game, like your brother did, the fall would have been much more harmful later, once you had achieved a sweet profit, losing everything right after. Then you would feel much more tempted to chase losses, potentially accumulating more losses yet on the process. Maybe your father wouldn't let you do that too, so we never know.

Between playing by yourself and partnered with a trusted person more experienced than you, I think the later is the best alternative, as he will prevent you from acting impulsively during the gambling session. That can save your life and your finances until you calm down yourself and start thinking rationaly once again.

What you have said is also true because when you experience your first defeat or bitter experience when you first enter gambling, you can be more careful with the fear of experiencing defeat again.
This will work well in the future and can really help anyone who experiences it, but quite few gamblers who experience defeat on their first gamble try to recover and really can't accept the loss.
However, in my thinking I more inclined to say that whether winning or losing is the same and the impact, good or bad, depends on the gambler himself whether they have the right approach or not.

But it is not easy to find people like that who can be trusted and have experience in gambling because not all gamblers who are also our colleagues are wise people.
It like you are gambling in an environment that is filled with people who like to gamble, but not necessarily one or two of them can be trusted and have wise attitude.
Moreover, when they actually exist, they don't necessarily want to help us in gambling to be able to control all aspects of gambling.

Nowadays there are quite lot of people around us who actually feel happy when we experience failure and they feel jealous if we succeed.
Trusted people are very difficult to find in this era.

It's true, it's really hard to find good companies who are happy with your personal success and who will advise you wisely on the difficult moments. Not everyone find such good people on their way, but once you find, you have to care and cultivate this relationship the best you can, because it might be an unique opportunity in your life.

Unfortunatelly, besides being so hard to find this kind of relationship, people who finally do end wasting this by being treacherous or careless with the friend or familiar who always lent a hand.

Regards gambling, sometimes a good friend or tutor is just trying to help by advising the person to stop, and instead of being thankful for the orientation, the gambler ends turning against the person for no reason at all.

This mean that you don't blame anyone for the gambling you have done because you and your friends know about it yourself through other people's who play it and you and your friends try to access the gambling via their respective cellphones and you can learn about gambling yourself.

I myself also don't blame anyone for the gambling that I do because it is my desire to get to know the type of games in casinos. Indeed, sometimes my friends tell me about bets that provide a chances of winning and I also bet on the game they say, but if it didn't works or I didn't make a profit. I don't blame my friend who told me about the bet because I did it with pleasure and we definitely know that everyone has different luck and gambling is a game that can be won because of luck.

That why it won't be easy for us to find someone trustworthy who can help each other so that we can always be in control when gambling. Moreover, if are the wrong person then when they see us gambling they won't give advice but they will also be curious and join in gambling.
After thinking about it, the best option is to learn individually to control every attitude, behavior and decision in gambling so that we can easily face all difficult situations.
That way we will not be dependent on other people.

Isn't it that when we experience something like that, it can actually be disappointing and maybe we experience an increase in emotions towards anyone, the worst impact is that we will lose our sense of trust in other people.

Usually they are someone who is also gambler, but they have had enough experience and have experienced the bitterness and sweetness of gambling so that they already know how gambling really works.
People like this will always give their best and will always provide the right advice and education when gambling.

Even though being a gambler myself, I think it should be avoided at any cost. It's not just about good or bad. People may start gamble as a medium for fun but as times passes, the motives becomes something else. The money the greed the addiction, consumes a gambler destroying everything. Cultural and religious practices are important when it comes to young people. Yes you are correct. It helps gives them to give them a clean direction, a purpose, one that is beneficial to them.

I don't blame anyone for being involved in gambling because it all came from my awareness by finding out for myself. After all, I was curious about the posts, and every person who gambles, whether it was introduced by a friend, can't blame that person because the decision is still in your hands to gamble or don't gamble, and blaming other people for introducing you to gambling won't change anything because you are already involved in gambling and the important thing is to control yourself so you don't get too involved in gambling.

Until one gambles and losses what is more valuable and intolerable to loose, one would either find loosing funds in the gambling as fun probability a cause of an inability to realize how much have lost if accumulated.

My gambling beginning history is that I have been going to the gambling field with a friend who doesn't have a gambling budget. So sometimes he runs out of fund and will ask me to borrow him some money which I sometimes do and at then he could bet and recover all that he has lost untill he will be emptied again because he has refused to hear me when I asks him let's walk away from the gambling boards since he has recovered his lost stakes.
But he will always ask me to give him little time so he can count atleast some bit profits.

I was hope to believe that if I was to be him there is no way I can get lost on the gambling board so I decided to try bet with some tolerable denomination as part-time of waiting for my friend to finish up so we can just go home. Then I began to develop interest in gambling til I began going to the gambling board all by myself.

At this point of time I don't know how to classify how I got into gambling on who to be blamed but one thing sure is that I only regret gambling at when lost but always feels that joy at my winning .

When people don't want to take responsibility for their actions, they always blame someone. Matured gamblers are the ones who can endure losses and enjoy gains. This is why I am sceptical about introducing people to anything. I prefer to allow people to make choices so that they will have nobody to blame. As much as nobody coerced you to gamble with your money, you should take full responsibility and not blame anybody.

Recently a relative was chasing her 18yrs son's friend from the house. She was shouting angrily that her son's friend was the person who introduced her son to gambling and now the boy stole his grandma's ATM and withdrew a large amount. This woman shouldn't blame anybody for her son's misbehaviour because her son has reached and even passed the statutory gambling age in my country.  Every adult should be willing to take full responsibility for our actions.

I always wonder why I don't have anyone in my life teaching me something,  it's always like people sees me like a rare one, and they decide not to ever teach me anything even when they know that I am suffering, until one day I had to ask my father, and he told me that I am special, that whatever I try to get or learn will always work for me the way I want it, I never doubted my father and I just kept going harder.

No mentor, nothing, the first time I run a node I grab the hardware from a local church member who have no use to it then, but for me to gain the experience I got it done, it was same with mining Bitcoin and investing, I have always been the boss of myself.

The only tool I could consider to be a good teacher for me was using Google search engine, it was even how I found the forum too, as for gambling, no one introduce me to it, in fact no one introduce me to anything in crypto space and financial investments.

We don't need to blame other people who introduced gambling to us because that will be our responsibility in deciding whether to gamble or not to return to gambling forever. They only introduce it, and if we get deeper into gambling because of the fun we get, it will be our fault because we cannot control ourselves in gambling. But if we can control ourselves well, we won't experience any problems and can instead use gambling as a fun pastime. Indeed, we should use gambling as a medium to have fun but not to try to make money from gambling because gambling is not for that. As long as we can use gambling properly, we will be fine and can enjoy gambling.

In fact, even though gambling is prohibited in some countries, it is related to the applicable laws and jurisdiction. even if it is covered by a religious prohibition, it does not prevent someone from carrying out their desire to gamble. especially, in the internet era like today. with just a smartphone and the internet, someone can surf to find online casinos in various ways. especially, in several countries that adhere to strict religious teachings. in several other countries, gambling is legalized and has become a risky form of entertainment. this condition is used by the state or government to contribute to or improve the economy there. plus, provides employment opportunities. and in this era, it should be time for gambling to be separated from negative things and become part of modern entertainment.

@goxcraft, if gambling is not good for you. as you said you should be able to avoid it, especially as you say, no matter what. and in my opinion, the point you are making is the opposite of gambling in the past. In the past, we didn't have a broad understanding of gambling. So, the idea that we have in mind is nothing other than what you said. Gambling today is not a matter of greed, money, or even addiction. but rather entertainment in the midst of an increasingly modern era. with common sense, and intellectually we can think more rationally.
and the point of the theme content of the title of this thread, not as in our discussion in this post. OP asks "Have You At Any Point In Time Blame Who Taught Or Led You To Gambling?" I would answer, not at all. and why should we blame someone who taught us, after all we are the ones who are interested in this entertainment.

Actually, there is no need to blame other people, in this case, because the one to blame is ourselves, why do we want to try the gambling game ourselves, because at first we try, after winning once, we will feel curious so we do it over and over again until we lose and lose everything.

Staying true to the initial intentions that led to your gambling habit is a very important and key factor that most newbie gamblers find difficult especially when you are not stable financially, because you have to attain a level of financial stability to make fun out of gambling but when it turns out you aren't stable enough it influences your approach towards gambling.

Financial stability has a lot to do with how well you approach gambling, if aren't stable enough, you will definitely be gambling to probably raise money for your next project or something else but when you have some level of stability derived from your job you could consider gambling as an entertainment you can afford but otherwise you are definitely going to have a change of motive along the lines because you are not at the level to see it as an entertainment

To make it short, let the young ones be innocent of gambling. But there comes the problem in this era, you don't need a friend to tell you to gamble because the damn application in Android phones is injecting advertisements with either gambling or sometimes mild pornography in it. I don't know why it is not filtered and the other problem is, that ad blockers don't work there.
Then there's the popular streaming service which also relied on the watch history of their members. If you watch more sports then there's a chance you will bump into betting platforms which I think should not happen. I have been checking my kids' watch histories and I can also see some bad video recommendations when I click them.
This era is very different from when the internet was not yet popular. Now, we have to be aware of what they watch and not just their friends anymore because there's a high chance they will have knowledge about gambling the online way.

We ourselves can take advantage of what gambling is like, people introduce gambling because we live in an era where people interact with each other via cell phones and when we gather we are not far from our cell phones, even if other people don't introduce gambling, we will be able to learn it ourselves and when your friend is playing gambling, you happen to know and you want to try to experience the game.
It's natural because we don't live alone, we have friends with different views, there's no need to blame other people if gambling is around your friendship, if you don't follow it you will still be safe, but if you participate in playing, use it wisely and don't get too involved in gambling so that don't cause thing that are out of control, gambling can cause addiction if you get too involved in the fun, so use it appropriately.

You are right, this must be avoided, even if we were initially invited to gamble by friends and friends also introduced gambling, it feels like this should be avoided, because it is also unethical if we blame other people or friends. Maybe at the beginning of gambling we made an introduction to gambling, and if there is a feeling of wanting to gamble again it is not the pull of friends, I think it is the pull of gambling itself where we cannot resist it so we gamble again on the basis of our own will so it makes no sense if we blame friends for gambling again.

 After all, if they become addicted it's because of their own doing, like you said, with the beginning just to try or for fun, but over time the motive has changed, no longer for fun but that's how they did it themselves. So it doesn't make sense for them to blame others for what they did themselves.

With technological advances that have developed more rapidly than a few years ago, we will also see advertisements for gambling, and maybe we will also try it ourselves without anyone introducing it to us. So when a friend introduces us to gambling, we should be wise in responding to it and not need to blame him because it is true that the responsibility is entirely in our hands. We have to be responsible if we really want to gamble and don't need to blame other people. Apart from that, we also don't have to gamble if we don't like it because there is a factor of losing money when we gamble. Yes, I agree that we can remain in control when our friends introduce something because they tell us that something, and then we will decide. And if we want to know more about gambling, we must be able to control ourselves so as not to be influenced by what is in the casino. By remaining wise in gambling, we can enjoy it more and will not use gambling as a place to make money.

Well, in the things we do within a casino many things can be taken into consideration, first, it is true that a player who is somewhat experienced can realize many things, among them the risks he can assume, and it is just as it is. You say, life is like one of those things that we always decide, so when we see that there are different paths, we must know how to choose, because when we see that things are quite difficult because we have to take on the casualties no matter how big and unpleasant they may be. Sometimes we make decisions that are not appropriate and that has its repercussions and for this reason it is that we must assume it, in this life not only in our cases, in the game things work that way, we should not be so emphatic that we can To do it this way, there are better ways to do it, everything is based on this, of course they are one of the things that we as humans who always make mistakes must learn.

I have seen many people who are always complaining that person I see that someone takes me to a ravine and tells me to jump because he already did it, I'm not going to jump , I say no , but if I jump it's my problem and it's not because the person has taken me to the place Maybe there was some bad intention because he knows that at a time a person can be weak, people can be weak in a casino and do things they shouldn't, like bet all their money and put many things at risk, but That is not the fault of whoever took that person to the casino, because just as they took them to a casino, they can take them to a church or another activity and the person participate for a while and then go from time to time, but if they don't know how to say no It's difficult, because things don't work that way, you have to assume everything.

Actually, blaming oneself when comes to gambling, drinking and other potential addictions is very difficult, easier said than done. Most of the people with problems will continue to perpetuate in them by not acknowledging it. The only few instances someone would blame their situation on the first person who introduced them  gambling, would be if the person introduced is pretty close to rock bottom.
To me, it does not matter how much one has lost to gambling, in the end is how close to the financial ruin which opens one's eyes to reality.

A person in Asia can lose 1000$ and be completely crushed about it, blame his family member who introduced him to gambling. While someone in USA could lose up to 3000$ and still continue to play and feel nothing.

Being a fresher to gambling and losing your bets in your first time at the casino or online gambling is to me an essentiality that every new gambler should experience as a caveat that will caution them to know and understand that gambling isn't a game of roses, you are not here to win but make losses however should you get a win at any point in time just take it in good faith.

But when a fresher starts with getting winnings in his bets as he gambles he would be leaving the casino with the reasoning and a frame of mind that that's how it should or would always be as he gambles moving forward. Such persons as they start experiencing losses they find it difficult to control their emotions and action regarding their losses and as @uneng rightly posit they will start chasing the losses and we all know where it all ends when a gambler start chasing a loss.

Till date I still appreciate my first time of gambling, for about two months of more  I never had a single win, days I bet in favour of my favourite team (sport betting) that's when they will lose a game, I was never happy at the experience though but today when I think about it I just smile because that experience made me comprehend that gambling isn't a game of roses.

It will be a childish character,  after learning how to gamble from a friend's hand, I will begin to blame him for it. because he taught me what I am repeatedly doing via losing money and being addicted to it.

If I should be in the situation of blaming him for my gambling habits, I would also blame myself for falling to it, to get hold of me. I will try my best to loosen up myself from it since what I am doing, I do not fancy it other than blame and complaints. By the way, nobody in any way forced me to start gambling, rather I voluntarily started playing it of my own free will.

It's an unreasonable act, to blame someone for something, and the next day you will be on the same thing, partaking in it. I can find myself in such a habit of blaming someone for the things I am doing all the time

And this is something which it is really that inevitable, there's no way that you could really be able to make yourself avoid with those losses whether you are newbie or veteran on gambling then those things
are something which cant be avoided. This is why its never been that good to look at or even just trying to say that it is really just that right on blaming out someone or pointing out some fingers just because
you have lost money with gambling. This is something that do talks about your own decisions because no one is really that pushing you to play but rather you are making those things and steps
basing up into your own decisions or according into your own will.

I didnt come into a point that i do really blame out someone for my loss. It is really just that on my own will on why i do make out some bets but i never ever pointing out
others just because i have lost big time and this is something that would be ethically to be done rather than on whining and crying just because you've been
able to lose big time and this is where things do might be able to kick in.

For me it's a big NO because your life is your decision. Always remember Gamble responsibly. Taking responsibility for your choices even in things like gambling, is important for personal growth. While outside factors might have an impact, blaming others isn't helpful. Instead reflecting on your decisions and seeking for help can lead to positive change.

The majority of people now use Android cellphones where gambling advertisements appear when we are opening YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter where gambling advertisements always appear and make us interested in doing it ourselves, even without friends we can find out for ourselves. Even though friends tell us sometimes we already know about it in advance so we don't need to blame other people for the gambling that is introduced unless your friend forces you to do it that's different you can blame your friend for forcing you to do it by force there are also those who keep trying to make the same bet it's bigger that we have to avoid friends like this because they will become devils who will always tempt you to gamble and again it's up to us to react to it. If you don't want to gamble, it's best to avoid friends like this.

There is nothing wrong in my opinion, even though your friend has made you gamble, none of that will happen if you don't listen to what your friend says. You took the initiative yourself the first time you gambled with the aim of winning the bet, but losing has made you keep playing because you are obsessed with winning.
Regret always comes too late, but there is no need to regret it because there are consequences that you have to accept because in gambling there are only two possibilities. If you are not ready to face defeat, then never get involved in gambling.

It is important that we never try to deflect the blame to someone else as this is what many people that eventually develop some gambling problems do, as even if they finally understand they have a problem, they do not want to admit they are the ones that are fully responsible for everything that has happened to them, and they are the only ones that can get solve those problems too, so while I can in a way justify why they are doing this, there is little doubt in my mind that this is not healthy at all.

Blaming a friend who introduce you into betting is only for those who were draged and bathered with sweet words and was introduced into betting. For me I was not introduced into betting by a freind, ii think I just saw the advertisement and I can here the community speak on how this betting platform is and I decided to try on my own free will, at the very beginning it was not going as planned cos I expected much from it due to many testimonies but with time we started blending and if I should take any loss I know is part of the game.
Did you only blame your loss on this your friend or when you win you do same 😂. Of a truth that was being childish as of your teen age because I believe currently you would not do so by blaming anyone for your loss as you now understand gambling better

I won't blame the person who introduced me to gambling. Because even he's the reason why I came to know this addictive game, it's my own decision to continue playing. No one force me, it's my own will. Therefore if the effect of gambling is not good then it's all because of how I gamble and not because of the person who introduced it to me. If you lose, that's your fault for deciding to play despite of the risk. Thus, if you can't bear losing your money much better to refrain from playing.

To date, I am happy that I was introduced to gambling. I bless the day I was taught. The bed is not always rosy in gambling but as long as the funds used in gambling is a fund that you can spare and you control how often you play especially for football betting you will not run into problems. Those with the mindset of becoming millionaires overnight through betting are always victims of regret and addiction.

The addiction gets to a point that even when games are dicey they still look for a way to stake. Such people are doomed and the blame game will not help out. I remember calling the person who introduced me to sports betting to say "Guy you too much". This does not mean I don't have bad days I have more bad days than the good days but surprisingly I am still sounding this positive simply because I always bet with what I can afford to lose.

To add, if you gamble with strength, you lose more and then the blame game starts. If gambling doesn't suit you anymore you should quit rather than blame the person who led you into it because that isn't a solution.

Yes it's true that I was introduced to gambling by my elder brother, but never for once have I blamed him for introducing me to gambling. I think every decision I have made was my choice and I have to live up to it. I www over 18 when I started gambling. My brother told me to see gambling as fun and that's it for me. I know when to gamble and when not to.

It's nice to think that you have this kind of mindset. As a gambler, it's our responsibility when it comes to any circumstances whether you win or you lose, it's all about your decisions and how you handle that kind of situation. Putting the blame to others especially to a person who introduce you in this kind of activity is such an immature way for me. you must be held accountable in anything that you've started or created.

That's why people are increasingly seeing gambling advertisements that always appear on their phones. I remember when I opened my friend's Instagram, I saw a gambling advertisement that appeared out of nowhere, and I asked my friend if he had gambled. But he said he doesn't gamble, and the adverts often pop up on his phones. Maybe social media providers need to filter gambling or other advertisements so they don't appear too often on users' phones. And that is what causes them to become curious about gambling, and eventually, many start gambling until they become addicted. This is very unfortunate because they should be able to use their phones properly, but instead, they are trapped by advertisements like that. They must be aware of this so that they learn self-control so as not to be tempted by any advertisements.
