The other day someone was talking about how he hates gambling as it nearly ruined his life, and within my mind I was like, no it was not gambling that nearly ruined you it was actually you that tried to ruin your life and that's because you refused to gamble responsibly and discipline yourself by not been capable of differentiating money meant for gambling from money meant for other projects in your life.

Why do people blame gamble for their own act of irresponsibility. No one is talking about their own part in their story of bad experience's with gambling, all we get to hear is gambling is bad and a useless activity. Why?

This is because many people see it as easy to put the blame on others than putting the blame on themselves. A similar situation is with a student who writes an exam, and when asked about the results replies saying "the lecturer failed me" instead of saying "I failed the exam" recognizing that it was due to their unpreparedness that they failed the exam. It would have been good for you to openly correct this person instead of only keeping it to yourself.

Maybe because they can't accept to themselves that they are the one who ruined their lives. It is true that we ourselves are in charge of our lives and will do something to fix it, so we really have a choice as to what our destiny will be, But look, when he wins gambling, he almost worships and give thanks endlessly. that's the normal act of a person, looking for someone to blame for the wrong actions or decisions they made

If someone do something and that thing gives him depression and tensed his mind, after lost of more money, the person will blame that thing. Some people will not even do that thing again but avoiding it. That is just people. They blame anything that do not favour them but making them to have a bad experience. But you are right, they fail to know that gambling should be done responsibly and they fail to do it responsibly and using high amount of money to gamble which supposed not to be.

Is it safe to say that peeps won't be so eager to spend their money on other irrelevancies than gambling itself, assuming the weren't any form of spendings of such? .. that's the big question there.. if yes, then an addict has the whole blame on himself rather than any casino..

It's pour act of irresponsibility that makes people blame their life outcome on other of things just like in the situation of your friend because as much as it is,  gambling gave it principle and it's left for you as a gambler to operate within that principle and also design your management plans both in time management and finances.

Main main reasons why many people fall into possible addictions is due to greed, the quest for huge profits and also in the inability to clearly stimulate the amount of time you are willing to gamble and not exceed the amount of time regardless of the results.

A common human being reaction on which we would really be having that kind of denial on the time that we are on a hard or tough situation. We would really be always having that something to get blame with on which
it would really be that just common that you would really be having those kind of reasoning like this and like that. There's no way that you would really be accepting your own fault on the things that you are currently dealing with. Some might really be having those kind of self realizations and there are ones who doesnt really accept out into their mistakes but rather they would be keeping on seeking into those things
on which they could really be able to point their fingers on and this is something a very common behavior of those people.

This is why its up to you whether you would really be making those realizations and would be making out some learning into your mistakes and make yourself better or you would
really be continuing on lurking into the corner and keeping those blames and pointing out those fingers and make some hard recovery and acceptance on the things that you do make?

They blame gamble because they hate the fact that they don't want to blame themselves, most are always in denial or they are looking for something to blame for. We know it's just an instrument to either let you go to rags or riches but it's your hustle to beat the system just like what other pros are doing.

You know what they say, never wager money that you can't afford to lose. But sometimes people see gambling as a way to get out of the hole, and that is when they risk the last resources they have. We are talking about gambling, we are risking money here, and there are no responsible or disciplined ways to risk money. The best way to avoid the risk is to avoid gambling.

because it is the easier thing to do than taking accountability for being an irresponsible gambler. it also makes them feel less bad because they think it is not their fault they should not be blamed for the circumstances that they are in.

just so you know, this kind of behavior is not exclusive to gambling, a lot of people try to shift blame to someone or something else to try and make themselves feel better and to avoid taking responsibility for the mistakes they made or did.

Because people have difficult taking responsabilities for their own acts. They have to convince themselves they are free of faults and flaws, because it massages their egos, make them feel good and superior. Nowadays with internet, pride has become a very crucial characteristic of people's selfs. People have been feeding their pride like never before. They are imperfect and flawed like have always been, but now it's important to maintain an artificial image of perfection, as it's being constantly in exhibition and exposition to the world. Internet is your showcase towards the world.

Furthermore, it's easier to put the whole responsability over an inanimate tool or activity, which can't argue or defend itself, as it doesn't have consciousness, neither is a living being. So they blame gambling, as it's not going to replicate the accusation in counterpart. Everything and anything they say about gambling will be valid, they will be always the victim, and gambling the speechless villain.

Actually, that is not the biggest of the issues. The worst part is the fact authorities are legitimizing the irreponsible and childish behavior of such gamblers, by endorsing their accusations against gambling, instead of putting the responsability over their shoulders, as it should be in a society composed by mature and rational human beings.

Once in gambling you cannot expect everyone to behave responsibly,that means that when you get sucked into gambling it means that anything can happen and you can go deep down in addiction.Not longer than now I was playing Rabbit Garden slot,one of the most addictive ever because it hast he most addicted bonus round ever,no one can tell me to play responsibly as everyone including me knows that,it is just that the emotions of the game drag you down deeper and deeper while you are saying to yourself this will be my last bonus round buy and try one last time to hit that big win and boom without knowing I have been playing for hours.There is no real "responsible" gambler as every gambler overdo it quite often.

One problem that most people usually have is that they don't know their problem, like they don't actually believe they have an issue, and as such, any form of mistake they happen to experience in life, they look for something where they need to transfer their blame, and that's what most gamblers do.
 
They were never in one place, and gambling came to them and convinced them to start gambling. It was them who started playing games, gambling, and chasing losses without having to set a limit and no respect for the bank roll, and at the end of the day, their statement that gambling would be gambling made me turn to that and all of that.
 
Such behaviour is normal and common among most gamblers, and until they realise they need to train themselves and focus on how to deal with self-control, they will never learn.

You are the ones who is really that responsible into your actions on which you cant blame out someone but only yourself. Just like been said by others that people are really that loving on pointing out their fingers and really loves to blame into the unfortunate condition that they are really that experiencing without even trying out to realize on what really actually happened.
There are really just those people who are really that sensible towards their actions and there are ones who do really make themselves dumb and just tolerating on the current condition they are in
until they would really be able to bust up themselves and would really be making those self realizations but it is already too late. We can actually avoid those disasters if we are really
just that sensible on the things that we are doing.

People have always had a tendency not to admit their mistakes, so it is more comfortable for them to blame other people than to blame themselves in public. What people have done and blamed themselves when no one is watching, this is because they feel ashamed and afraid of other people looking at them badly and criticizing them. imagine a person who shows off on social media as being the greatest slot player in the world, this person has a record of never having lost, one day they invite this person to compete against a newcomer who is just starting out in the world of gambling

so this person who considers himself the greatest player in the world loses the game, as the game is being watched by many people so the player who considers himself the best player in the world will blame the game, he can argue that the machine was not good, or that the software was crashing when he played, he would use all kinds of arguments to not admit guilt because he wasn't the best. Nowadays, as people have gotten into the habit of filming everything, they have become people without honor, they lie a lot to always continue to be well regarded by other people. Hardly anyone will go out on the street or appear on social media saying that they are losing a lot in gambling, this would only bring them shame and criticism, which is why the person will choose to lie and say that they are winning.

Mistakes come from many sides, but we should recognize the individual as the main cause because similar to many other areas of our lives, the main problem is the individual's inability to adapt. I mentioned the story of the knife, well what was it created for? It is simply a cutting tool, but there are still people who use it as a weapon to kill. We know the power of that tool, but if we apply it incorrectly in life, we will have to face the consequences.
With gambling, many losers resent this field, maybe even the relatives of those losers... yep, if they accept the fact that personal error caused all the problems, they will know how to do it and treat themselves better.

Denial, is always a tool as a defence mechanism of greed people who caught up for what they have done. Always blaming others when something happened to them. It's not about gambling but in general.

That's addiction, and need medications because it looks like its grave already. Some gambling addict knows that it's their fault for what they experienced in the current moment while the person on OP is the other way around which has the symptoms of grave addiction.

Difference with you and them is that you have understood the first step for getting rid of addiction. Addicts often see that control is coming from outside, before they understand that they are the one making decisions.

It's the same reason because we hate sugar and carbs for making us fat. We rather hate the products, then consume them in moderate quantities, just enough for them being good for us. We say TV is bad for us, because we want to spend too much time with it, and instead of using it to educate ourselves, we use it for binge watching and wasting a lot of time.

It's just not in our nature to take responsibility as a default setting. Some people don't even know WHY they are gambling as they don't see the mechanism on it. These people just feel like they don't have any control, so naturally they can't blame themselves, as they see the issue out of their control.

But i don't blame these people for feeling this way. I admit that i hate things too that i feel i don't have control over, these things can be good for me with moderate amounts. But almost everything is bad for us when we do it more than we would actually like.

not only in gambling but in the business world too, many people who lose out blame it that business is bad and not good at all, even though they don't have the expertise to manage their business.  Many gamblers are not aware that their greed is what causes their gambling results to be bad.  Being responsible in gambling is not only about how to manage gambling well but being fully aware that gambling is not an activity that will continue to give you wins, i myself have won several times and lost several times, but i never use money i can't afford to lose to gamble.

Personal responsibility is a trait that people seem to have lost. People find it easier to deal with their problems if it’s the fault of someone else. It’s almost like they’re looking for someone or something to share the fault with.
It could be said that gambling wrecks lives. But sadly, it’s mostly us that allows our gambling activities to wreck our lives. It could also be said that gambling has changed the lives of people positively.

It’s the choices we take that matters. And people don’t seem to want to be more responsible for their actions and behavior that would obviously tell on their lives.
Admittedly, gambling ruins lives. But it’s our actions that we do that leads to financial ruin. We’ve only got ourselves to blame when ruined by gambling or any activity.

I think its always a thing since its going to be easy to blame something other than blaming your self,I did a lot of things that is not reallygreat or i can say that it is probably not a good decision  and i can say that no one can be blame but me since that is probably all my fault because im the one who do that, and its really difficult and depressing its so hard to move on and just forget about it, especially because it involves a huge amount of money for me.

So blaming gambling was gonna be a thing for sure for some people, since they think it is a bad think and in their mind they probably wanted to stop but they just cant do it, ending up blaming other things. Seems like as we all can see gambling as something that is bad eapecially if we do lose a lot of money or probably become addicted with it but gambling wasnt really a bad thing, all of things that we do is gonna be bad for us if we do in excess is going to be harmful, and no one to blame for that one us.

Well, its the nature of gambling, No, the person itself or the gamblers, in fact gambling itself has nothing to do with complaints or bad happening because of gambling the truth is gambling games are just games with money related but the bad experience or happenings is caused or because of the gamblers that cannot control themselves and letting their greedy and bad emotions take over that's why they saying that there is nothing good in gambling, yes its true but the one's who caused the misery or the bad activity and bad happenings is caused by the people, remember there will be no gambling addict, gambling related crimes or crimes because of gambling if the person itself can control itself and not letting any negative emotions or actions to take over.

Why there is gamblers that even he gambles he still sane, good or there is nothing wrong happening to him? simply because they can control themselves, period.

Gambling is considered negative because it causes addictive effects that can destroy a person's life. It is true that everyone is required to be able to gamble responsibly, but doing this is not an easy thing, especially for novice gamblers who often like to chase losses and only stop when they have spent all their money.

Apart from all that, if we can control our finances and keep ourselves from emotions and chasing losses then maybe our finances will be fine and not have negative effects, but in general it is true that gambling has a negative impact.

Those are the people who decide to enter gambling when they don’t actually know and understand the risk in gambling, and all they think is that they could get rich instantly if they keep on gambling. When they suffer from consistent losses, they will come to blame the casinos or worst, they will end up blaming those persons who introduced them into gambling.

People with this kind of attitude mostly end up into gambling addiction, once they refuse to seek help from the people around.

Avoiding gambling is the best thing to do for me instead at a moment in time. Because the losses that I recount in gambling is way more than the wins. Even though sometimes you can say there is good money made in the little wins but sometimes because of the high hopes that comes with trying to win, it makes it difficult to win and instead you will lose woefully with the odds you will end up setting which also do result to depression and a lot of emotional problems.

This is why I have resulted in advising every one to stop it and instead of trying to use small money out of your pocket money, you shouldn't in the first place since it is from small money that we end up using bigger funds which most of us cannot afford to lose.

People normally won't take the blame. I guess this is a natural tendency. We often look for something or someone else to point our fingers. We even deny of wrongdoing or of mistakes even if it is obvious.

Perhaps gambling is to blame partly, because it is the thing that triggers somebody. Gambling is the thing that exposes somebody's weaknesses like lack of self-discipline or greed. But whatever gambling provokes is already within a person. And since everybody is thinking and is free, I think the main responsibility falls on the individual.

the reason someone blames gambling or thinks gambling is bad is because they only see it from one side, namely the negative impact, so people judge that gambling is just a bad activity and for someone who regrets gambling and losing, it's their own fault for not understanding deeply how gambling works.
both of these cases both start from a lack of understanding how gambling works, such as someone who thinks gambling is bad because they dont understand how gambling works, it's just entertainment that must be bought with the little money they can afford to spend, and for gamblers who regret when they lose, if they understand how gambling work they will never regret because he should buy pleasure in gambling using small money without having to spend large amounts because winning is not a guarantee.

If everyone could understand how gambling works, they would never say anything about the evils of gambling and gambling is never wrong because this business was established only to provide a place to have fun and we as customers are responsible for all the risks we take and one of them is losing money is one of the risks. If people understand this, they will definitely not gamble in large amounts and only use small amounts, which will never give them any problems when they lose and will not think that gambling is bad.
the conclusion is simply about responsibility.

Several other members also said that, so I think that not taking the own blame is seen as a common human reaction, no matter the context.

In the context of potentially addictive substances and activities, I agree that not all the blame is in the subject, especially when these products are specifically designed to be more appealing. Those who have a genetic predisposition to addiction can blame on them, as it is not completely their fault their lack of self-discipline.

Gambling can only ruin your life when you let it to ruin your life, you're not the only one gambling other individuals are gambling and their life's aren't ruined therefore if yours is ruined it's your fault and not gambling fault. The only time that it can be the fault of the casino is when the casino cheated you and have made you to lose when you weren't supposed to lose but still it's you that used too much money to wager and got affected and you lost the money.

Every individual is incharge to of their gambling account therefore anything that happens to the account, they should be responsible for that. Nobody is forcing you to bet or chase your losses in an attempt to win back all you have lost but since gambling isn't predictable, you'll lose more money instead of winning back some of the money that got lost. When gambling we have to be disciplined or we'll keep losing money.

Gambling is very risky activity and anyone who will start gambling must be able to understand and accept all the risks that will occur, that way they can be responsible for everything that happens when gambling.
But it true that not many gamblers have this way of thinking, they enter into gambling without careful consideration and they only think about winning and winning.

From the story you shared, this was actually very unfortunate because he carried out gambling activities according to his own desires and of course he understood that gambling could only result in defeat.
But he has received consequences that he cannot accept well, he ruined his own life with his wrong mindset and inappropriate approach to gambling, so blaming and regretting ever gambling is not the right attitude.
He cannot return everything to the way it was before and what he can do is learn and take the positive side of the destruction he almost felt so that in the future he can be more responsible for his every action.

It seems like many people experience conditions like that and of course they will really think after experiencing it.

Gambling can be an instrument or a way to destroy a gambler's life, but usually a gambler's life is only destroyed when he has an addiction to gambling. But it can also be a way to fix or improve your life when you are lucky and get the jackpot price in casino gambling.

But if you are a responsible gambler, let's say you often play gambling if you know what to do to not ruin your life as a gambler, as long as the important thing is not to be greedy in gambling.

Gambling is actually a game for rich people but unfortunately it is misused by poor people where they always consider gambling to change their fate and make gambling a source of income, that's why people always blame gambling, because it is poor people who always use gambling. as a place to gain instant wealth when in fact it actually makes them poorer and bankrupt because of their greedy behavior when gambling.

If gambling is used just for fun, it probably won't make someone play beyond the limit, because they know that when they feel the pleasure they will definitely stop gambling, not continue to be obsessed with winning and continue playing all the time just to chase the jackpot. game against gambling machines, but it is also true that it is all the fault of the individual, not the gambling.  ;D

As I have always said before, it's part of an individual's behavior. People often tend to blame someone or something for the negative consequences of their actions. Gambling, on its own, is neither good nor bad. It all depends on how an individual approaches it and how they let it impact their life.

Gambling can have a negative impact on an individual only if they allow themselves to become addicted to it and experience the harmful consequences of gambling, such as losing large amounts of money, selling their assets, and accumulating significant debts.

This is what usually happens. It is always easier to blame others (find reasons and excuses for yourself) for mistakes than to realize and admit personal mistakes.

If a gambler finds himself penniless due to gambling, then of course this gambler has problems with money management. You can't bet money that is necessary for other areas of life, such as housing, food, training and other necessary expenses.

If you can't manage (distribute) money wisely, it is better not to gamble.

Well, first of all, the gambling industry is designed to take money from players, so from a gambler's point of view, it is a really useless and bad activity because it makes the player poorer.

Secondly, people think positively and justify any of their actions, even irresponsible and unprofitable ones. Even if they turn out to be a complete loser, having lost all their money gambling and getting into huge debts, gamblers will blame casinos and gambling for all their troubles, and never themselves. Whereas, the source of their financial and life problems is undoubtedly only themselves. Nobody forced them to go to the casino by force, right.

Unfortunately many people are stupid and we can't control what they want to say, so ignore it. Just like we see a lot people saying Bitcoin is scam, even you've show many ways to verify if Bitcoin can't be hacked and you're really own the coins, they won't believe what you were saying.

So if someone say gambling is bad, just smile it and say yeah you're correct.

Gambling ceases to be a method of fun for that person and begins to become a nightmare when a person cannot control his/her own emotions and maintain discipline. When we examine the common characteristics of many people with bad experiences, we can generally see that these people's lives are negatively affected by gambling addiction and accordingly people who have successfully recovered from gambling addiction mentions that they hate gambling.

In addition, listening and reading about the experiences of such people will be very useful for people who actively gamble because we can learn from the experiences of such people how gambling addiction affects human life and what psychological problems it can cause. For this reason, I can say that these people whose lives have been negatively affected by gambling shouldn't be viewed as addicts and that we should all learn from the experiences of these people.

That's the first thing a human would do when he is losing. Blame it on someone, blame it on gambling, blame it on the industry, or blame it on the owner of the gambling site. "It's all rigged." You will see that a lot from the gamblers in the chatbox after they are wrecked. Well, it's actually true. The game is rigged because if it's not, the business will go bankrupt because the chance of winning will be higher for us. It's not like they are running a charity there. It's a business that is supposed to make money and we should expect that they will keep on taking our money. What we can do is be wise about it. For me, I always just try to increase my wager amount. That way I can get more bonuses when it comes.
All we can do is try to tie the game, we always lose but there's the so-called RTP that will try to give back. Now, when it happens, we have to be wise on how we will spend what we make from the RTP.
Maybe your friend just wants to feel better by blaming it on something else. Let him be. I bet he will be back for revenge and he might lose again which will make him realize that it's on him. It's his fault. We always have a choice not to gamble.

A person who uses gambling beyond his limits and almost ruins his life will say that gambling has made him suffer even though he couldn't use gambling well until he had to experience these bad things. And it's normal for someone to say that.

If from the start, the person can use gambling well and not exceed his limits, he does not need to experience bad things that make him suffer. But because many of them are tempted by the offers of gambling, this is what makes them fall for it. This is why we must be able to take good care of ourselves while gambling so that we don't experience things like that.

By always applying limits and self-control when gambling, we will be fine and can enjoy gambling as entertainment. We also will not be tempted by gambling offers because our goal is only to get entertainment.

People tend to blame everything and everyone for their failures. In the same way, you can say that drugs ruined someone's life or alcohol drove someone to madness. However, millions of other people live and, in no way, blame gambling or any gambling activity because they know how to properly manage and control their emotions.
I would say that gambling addiction, which is very difficult to stop, is an internal cause, so internal that psychological problems extend from childhood. You should always understand that all troubles and problems begin with yourself, and you should always look for the cause of failure in yourself. And until a person understands this and thinks that he is not able to change himself, his troubles will continue. As they say, “If you want to change the world, start with yourself.”

There are people who are earning good from gambling, so if gambling was bad, then it would have been bad for everyone and people would not be doing gambling at all.
I know that loss in gambling is a fact and everyone will face loses in gambling, but how you control your money and how you manage the risk will determine how much we gain or loss in gambling.

A person gambling without any plan is surely going to lose money and complain that gambling is a scam.  ???



No one wants to take the responsibility for the gambling loss on themselves so therefore sometimes they put the blame on the gambling site or sometimes they blame the whole gambling ecosystem is a scam. Instead, they never look at their actions where they put too much money in gambling which they can't afford to lose them.

Same, the action you take on everything is what will reshape what you will get in the end, gambling shouldn't be hurting or killing anyone, it's how you handle gambling that makes your life miserable, it's no ones fault, it's your fault.

People are very used to not taking responsibility, when you make a big mistake and you are able to accept that it's your fault, this is a big responsibility on it's own, such men should be respected, because there are many men that are actually women on the inside, I have never make a decision and blame someone else, unless the decisions wasn't mine.

Imagine such people starting to gamble, that's why we keep seeing people losing money and going out to steal from the neighborhood and they will blame gambling as the reason behind their stealing, some will even find people to put the losses on.

Because this statement appears based on the general view of society and is reinforced by evidence which always shows that people who gamble almost end up losing everything. Then another view like the one you expressed refers to the individual himself because he is unable to control his emotions and lacks financial management when gambling. In my opinion both views are equally correct based on their respective realms of thought and cannot be rejected. People have different views so that they can produce different statements about one condition. Don't be surprised because this is just a matter of the results of people's gambling activities in general.

One thing about this issue is that no one ever knows that they are actually commiting an error by themselves until it's late. Gamblers are always found of blaming the game and the system where as the real cause is themselves, I could remember back then when the habit wanted to get a hold of me, it was by God grace and weeks and days of proper self discipline that actually saved me from becoming an addict and also my wife was also an instrumental figure that helped me from the crooked illness of mindless playing of gambling.

Sometimes, gamblers tend to point fingers at things like gambling when their life hits a rough patch. But it's not just about the dice or cards, it's about personal choices. Like, if you can't draw a line between money meant for a game and money meant for, say, bills, it's not the gamble's fault. It’s more about not being in control. People should own up to their part in the mess and not just tag gambling as the bad guy. It's all about responsibility and learning to keep things in check.

We often miss the complex relationship between personal responsibility and gambling. The individual's part is important; their decisions set the course. Gambling's meant to intrigue and confuse amusement and risk. This doesn't absolve the gambling industry, but acknowledges a dual responsibility. Mindset matters; knowing the narrow line between enjoyment and addiction is key. The balance between self-awareness and control requires ongoing vigilance

That gambling is primarily responsible is one-sided. However, can we blame anyone for falling into a well- camouflaged trap? The relationship we have with gambling, like many things in life, determines our experience. It requires a fair assessment of industry practices and human decisions. This is about promoting ethical gambling and industry operations, not blaming anyone. Empathy and awareness aid the mutual quest for understanding and responsibility

Let's compare it with smoking and the act remains same, we just blame the smoking not the individual who has the choice to refuse smoking the cigars but due to its addictive nature the gambling or smoking or whatever has also play in it but its only occurs when the individual let things go out of their hands, so from now on we have to call the individual who ruined their life not the gambling, not the smoking.

You can never blame anyone or anything for your carelessness because gambling is something that being done with principles and cautions. Most people lose whenever their losses is getting the best of them. To be honest is not actually easy to gamble responsibly you should understand if you are gambling there's some point you reach in gambling you lose it all such of negative emotions will start showing infect especially when the losses you made that time is too much. The truth is that don't blame anyone it takes time to be a responsible gambler and I will keep saying always gamble with cash you can risk.💯

That is being human, we blame everything except the thing that causes us misery, compulsive gamblers can blame everything and think it's ok, I've experienced getting blamed for calling a friend on the phone in the middle of his gambling section because he thought he could have won if I did not make a call.

So many gamblers justify casinos as a place to make money even though there is a lot of proof that it's not, for gamblers, gambling is their cash cow their medicine, and their entertainment, I even read that some people sacrifice their relationships for gambling, gambling has a hold on compulsive gamblers so you know that if a person favors gambling more, he is a compulsive gambler.

Someone who is faced with the desire to get rich quickly or make a lot of money in gambling or other places such as investments will do things that are unreasonable. They will do it blindly. Without strategy and reckless. This loss of control over oneself drives irrational actions that have bad consequences for oneself and even one's family. As OP said, it was purely his fault, not gambling or anything like that.

Only problem gamblers blame conditions other than themselves, and that's normal because when they believe that, they feel calmer. I used to do the same thing as other problem gamblers, until I finally realized for myself that the fault was actually mine.

BTW, talking about gambling, I was wondering if you're a gambler too? Because ideally you will have nothing to gain in this discussion if you're not an individual who's on the gambling side directly.

Gambling tempts an individual to spend money in exchange for the promise of doubling it and we are just human to get tempted, people have a lot of pride to blame themselves I have seen gamblers out of reason and do not care about people around them telling him that he is gambling too much.
This is the characteristic of compulsive gamblers, they do not listen, they blame gambling they blame everyone except themselves, I have encountered these kinds of people and I don't want to argue with these people they are annoying to argue.

I accept, if gambling ruined your life it's not gambling fault, it's your own fault, there are things you don't want to take huge risks on, and gambling is one of them, many people turned from grace to grass because they are introduced to gambling, you shouldn't always say yes to everything, just because people are making money from something doesn't mean it's meant for you too.

How many of you have noticed that following what people do don't always work out well in the end? Or is it just me? If I tried copying anyone I always fail miserably, things that always work well for me are always something I think about myself, and its always something people will see and will say it will never work out for me.

You are the master of your destiny, and I believe it can be change with your own decision, remember, religion hates gambling for some vital reasons, and that's because gambling easily destroys humans, meaning that even God knew how weak the mind of humans can be.

Gambling wasn't been a way to make money, so it's really wrong for someone to make money through gambling. It's really situational to earn some money through gambling, one of the example is when the casino offer good promotion, so you can't always make money from it because good promotion happen only for once or few times.

They should not blame gambling if they experience defeat because they cannot gamble responsibly. It was their own fault, and there is no need to blame it on gambling. If they could use gambling well, they would not experience ruin after they finished gambling. And no one will complain about having lost more money from gambling. They should be able to prevent experiencing big losses from gambling, but it is because of the greed that ultimately drives them to gamble longer, which results in them losing more money.

Playing gambling responsibly will give them the opportunity to avoid big mistakes that could ruin their lives. They will use gambling well and not lose much money or even experience ruin in their lives.

Truly said. Things like alcohol and gambling were present even before the concept of money or gods. And they have been an integral part of human society.
It's upto the individual if they enjoy the gambling responsibly or they let gambling ruin their life. There are daily thousand of things that could ruin your life if you used different than how they ought to be. It is a life lesson everyone should pass. You can't be a mature person unless you have relative control of your mind and it's you, not others that are in primary control.

I read one post in this forum sometime last year and the poster was lamenting that he calculated all he had spent on gambling for a year and he discovered that the money he lost could have started a good business for him. I was surprised that some people have lost opportunities that would have made them financially stable because of gambling. We must have a gambling plan because betting is not a source of income or an investment. Having more streams of income will even make gambling more entertaining because you will not depend on it as a source of revenue. This is why we should invest more in businesses, education or skills instead of on gambling.    


Humans naturally don't like taking responsibility because it is easy to blame people or an activity for failures. However, I see people that don't take responsibility as immature. Nobody is forced to gamble which is why gambling is restricted to a certain age that is deemed mature enough to make independent decisions.

People are blaming gambling for their own act of irresposibility because they are being swallowed by their emotions. It is like blaming other people for the mistake you just did and it is unhealthy as a gambler. That kind of people don't really understand the true meaning of gambling. Maybe they are just so disperate for being unlucky. Or they are just too serious chasing loses instead of having fun of it.

At the end of the day, people will always look for something or someone to blame for their mistakes. They lack the necessary accountability as a consequence for the wrong actions and decision making they have done. They will try to pin it to someone in order to rationalize their wrong behaviour because that is the easier thing to do than to admit that they are wrong.

Unfortunately, even outside the gambling world, this happens more frequently than you think. People will always try to find ways to blame others for their mistakes, which is very disheartening and unfortunate to witness.

I just really hope that people would acknowledge their wrongdoings since this is the step in order to address the issue on hand. If they truly want to change their gambling addiction and habits, the first step always starts by acknowledging their wrong and moving forward on it.

Truly the OP made comment was fact I am also a gambler but I have a total self control and gamble responsibly, I never had a mindset of becoming rich through gambling because that is absolutely impossible by own perspective, I only gamble with small amount of money that I can afford to lose to avoid ruining my life and going bankrupt due to addiction therefore I agreed that any gambler that ruin their life and got bankrupted is their own doing and have to accept their mistakes and not blame someone else, even gambling with a strategy doesn't warrant doing so without taking caution and gambling recklessly, of course the consequences is very bad.

Personal decision is what matters when it comes gambling , and when people lacks discipline they put the blame on gamble as if gamble forced them to play beyond their limits. The problem people do have with gamble is that they abuse it by playing beyond their limits which makes them to be addict gambling.  It is important for people to learn how to be discipline when playing gambling, when their is no discipline it makes people to take wrong decisions that can be dangerous.

Lack of discipline has made people to risk much amount of money and it has become tradition for people to always invest in bitcoin because they lack the discipline to control their urge.

We hear that from people who like to complain a lot, and they tend to complain about everything and blame everyone, I guess that is easier than to take responsibility. And we hear from them how gambling is a bad and useless activity, but they just took it too far and they got into problems because they couldn't control themselves and how they spend money on gambling, as you said.

You will never hear something like that from a responsible person. Responsible gamblers spend just what they can afford to lose, and in that way they never get into problems because of the gambling.

I used to think like this, and blamed the casinos for why they held a lot of games that made me interested and spent a lot of money in the casino and made me addicted. But after a long time, I realized that everything that happened to my life was because of what I did, I see this from any aspect, including why I became a fool, why I did not develop like other people in life, because in fact I did not realize what I was doing and just followed my desires without any good control, yes especially in gambling, if we have good self-control, we will definitely gamble responsibly, if we don't want to overdo it in gambling then we need the boundaries that we create for ourselves. Only a fool blames outsiders if something goes wrong with him, when he himself did it in the first place.

It's always a normal reoccurrence for people to want to shift blames whenever they are faced with misfortune because they probably don't want to take responsibility for their involvement and their irresponsibility in some cases, some persons bring ruin upon their selves been irresponsible and yet try blaming not on something else.

Gambling itself is never and has never been a bad thing but people has made it look like it is meanwhile it has always been their attitude towards gambling they have cost them more problems most often, gambling was actually made for the sake of fun and entertainment but ever since most persons began to see it like a venture where they can make time of money because they happen to have seen someone who succeeded at such, it becomes a problem for them because they become greedy and invest much more than they should have which later leads to their ruin and they blame it on gambling meanwhile some other person's are gambling responsibly and making good out of same gambling that caused them ruin.

No matter how strong the invitation from friends or anyone who makes you gamble, as long as you don't listen to their invitations, you will never become an active gambler who finds it difficult to break the habit. There is no one to blame but yourself for financial decline due to gambling addiction, there are always choices that can make you better but you often ignore them due to uncontrollable desires. Every now and then you need to stand in front of the mirror and ask yourself, who is trying to destroy your life, gambling or your continued gambling actions.

People wouldn't like to admit their faults when they fail to do the right thing because they don't want to see themselves as been weak. People that blames gambling for ruining their lives, might still go back and gamble because they haven't realized their mistake.

I will blame them for being greedy and think that they can make profit from gambling. Instead of them to blame their greedy nature, they are busy blaming the game because greed has eaten up their bones and they were blind see that they will get ruined

It is in human nature to deny responsibilities for this that do not turn out fine and bring accolades. If you want to confirm this, watch children blame one another over things that went bad when they know there will be consequences. No one want to be responsible for bad things and everyone want to be seen as impeccable. Gamblers are not exempted from this because most careless gamblers will look for who to blame for their failure. Some blame the bookies, some their friends and family or just anyone they can.

The earlier one start taking responsibilities, the better because gambling is all about your decision. It is your money, so use it as you please and don't blame anyone for your mistake.

it's true that the one who should be blamed first is the person who gambled, not the gambling thing. because if someone is responsible for himself, he should understand that if he is not good at managing his money and his time for gambling it can disrupt his life. but the problem is that many people prefer to blame something else rather than blaming themselves, even though it is clear that they were in the wrong in the first place, but they don't care about their own mistakes and are shameless in blaming gambling for making them like that.

Briefly straight up by the OP. Gambling is an institution of its own and every individual is private to themselves so there is no necessity to blame what you internally engaged yourself on for excuse of ruining yourself on the cost of gambling.

How would anyone appreciate gambling when it favours him and castigates it when it goes contrarily to their wills?
Playing gambling is a choice, staying responsible to gambling is a choice and so as gambling irresponsibly is also a choice so, there is no considerations to cast blames on why one ruins its life of a gambling race.

Because it is the easiest thing to do. People find a peace of mind by blaming others. Because they don't want to be wrong. They don't want to admit that it is their fault and that's why they have become addicted to gambling which ruined their life. I have also suffered a same kind of situation in which I blame the gambling not my own actions.

Later on I realize that, it was me all along. My irresponsible behavior and my weak capability of controlling my emotions lead me to become addicted to gambling. Nothing is bad until you use it for a bad purpose.

The main reason is that people wanted other people to see them in a a good image.  It is all about reputation wherein many people try to divert the shame/blame to others than being responsible and admitting that they did it themselves.  When it comes to failure and fault, people's basic action is to deny that they did it themselves and will try to look for an escape goat in order evade criticism and gather sympathy from the listener.

When people did the wrong thing, what they always try to do is in finding flimsy excuses for that wrong thing they did, in so doing, they try to make it appear that it wasn't there own fault, but instead being facilitated by something or someone close to them, your personal attitude in life is what will determined the kind of gambler that you be or become.


Even if someone did evil today, he knows about what he did was wrong but waiting for someone to tell and rebuke him for doing that, what had he not made a determination of not doing such in the first place, we most times don't accept the outcome of what we have done as being fully responsible for them, instead we beat around the bush looking for a culprit for that.

Why would someone not know when he's going astray in gambling. However, gamble can not lead a gambler astray unless he or she didn't gamble with care or responsible as you said.
Gambling is not to be blamed for anything but the gambler who have over gambled should be the one to be hold responsible for his or her actions, and this blames is not for those that gambled responsible but for those that do not gambled responsible.
For me, I can not blame casino or and gambling company for anything that has to do with me becoming addicted but I can only blame them if they try not to let me withdraw my funds.

I would not pay attention to such people and do not waste my time on them, because there are quite a lot of them, and not only in the field of gambling. They are always looking for someone to blame for their mistakes, because they do not know how to admit their mistakes, analyze them, and consequently become better. In my environment there were two such people and over time I just stopped communicating with them, because I believe that you need to surround yourself with only strong people, not those who at every opportunity to make you guilty.

You can only correct people you know by their appearance and expression about an issue that if you share some words of advise and correction it would not end well between you two, the conversation might likely change another tune because they won't accept their fault. Its obvious in the way he was talking that there's no need. I just want to add this, not every person we see that we should be moved to give correction, at times silence will be the best move and however if you are moved to give corrective advise do well to know your limit and choice of words as not everyone is advisable.

The other day someone was talking about how he hates gambling as it nearly ruined his life, and within my mind I was like, no it was not gambling that nearly ruined you it was actually you that tried to ruin your life and that's because you refused to gamble responsibly and discipline yourself by not been capable of differentiating money meant for gambling from money meant for other projects in your life.

Why do people blame gamble for their own act of irresponsibility. No one is talking about their own part in their story of bad experience's with gambling, all we get to hear is gambling is bad and a useless activity. Why?

Right! We must take personal responsibility for our actions, even with something as tempting as gambling.  However, the casinos and companies promoting gambling also have an ethical duty and  they should ensure their practices don't exploit folks prone to addiction or financial hardship.  

There's no denying gambling can be habit-forming, often unraveling lives in the process.  Still with care and conscience, the gaming industry could prioritize safe enjoyment over reckless profit.  If they took reasonable steps to curb predatory marketing and manipulate games to better favor the player, it would go a long way.

Overall, this is a nuanced issue.  Gamblers must own their choices but business should own theirs too.  Both sides meeting halfway could make the gaming world a little less dangerous for those susceptible to its thrills.  But it starts with each of us looking inward first.

There's this relief people get from shifting blames from themselves to other people,  event or situation. Accepting responsibility is like staining their personality. It gives them this feeling that they tried their best but the situation, person or thing was just so not good to them. It is because of this mindset that is why they keep making same mistake over and over again without taking out time to look at the actual cause of the issue.

Gambling is not as bad as many people who abuse it  paint it. Just like many other activities, Gambling is a healthy habit. It's benefits are so good if done responsibly. Many responsible gamblers will attest that it makes them logical thinkers, this is good for the mental health.  Aside that, it excites them and improves their mood. How can Gambling even be bad when it broadens the minds of the gamblers?
The problem is obviously not Gambling but the gamblers but the irresponsible ones will never admit it.

That someone is just saying that he hates drinking because it nearly ruined his life. We all have options if we will take these things in our life, blaming something that you did because you failed on achieving the thing that you want is just plain wrong. Gambling is a vice, it can bring joy, relaxation, madness and different emotion into a person but it all differs from person to person. Gambling will be a different experience to that someone if he is responsible person.

Please edit your post before it gets noticed by some senior colleagues that might not take it likely.
Here it's just same thing with OP's

---

Most times this things happens subconsciously, people don't really know there are making mistakes till it ends their lives. some might be gambling to the extent of ruin his or her life with out knowing that they have gotten to the limit they will need someone to help them get themselves back.

The reason why people do see the fault in others rather than themselves is because the feel they are right in there actions and refuse to take responsibility for it. Gambling is vice versa it's either good to you or bad to you it depends on individual responsibility anyone who is responsible enough won't let gambling ruin his or her life.

Because a lot of people try to point at others for their own misconduct, nobody cajoled him to start playing gamble, so why the hate towards gambling. It is always said that gambling is for mature minds, just like you said OP, people should learn how to discipline their self when they are gambling, there should be money set aside for gambling and other contingencies as a person, don't put all your eggs in one basket and later blame gambling for your misfortune.

The heart of a man thinks like they will have to make money in every opportunity. When people see a platform that can give them money and they are warn about the risk, they don't bother to put the risk into consideration if it's worth it or not, the only thing they think is to make that money, it is after they failed or the platform take the money from them they take the risk into consideration and then they blame the platform for trying to ruin there lifestyle, not only gambling I have seen people cried like this. Even platforms that promised high return on investment, this is what you heard the victims cry about and it's because they don't know how to control their greed.

How do you act like gambling is the only place to make money to feed, cloth, pay bills and then you expect it to happen? You want to ruin down the company? ;D  You can't outsmart the gambling platforms and that's why they always emphasize on gamble responsibly but some of them want to buy cars, marry and take care of their families. How on earth is that going to work with gambling, no way.

I agree with this, people tend to find something to blame in order to make their self feel better.
We could see it not just in gambling but also in other aspects of life, success, career, lifestyle.
Almost everything if they would found something or someone to blame, they would do it in order to feel like it wasn't their fault.

This is text book definition of victim Mentality. People can't face harsh issues so they blame other things that are influenced with. Its sad that governments can't give enough psychologic treatment to citizens to solve these issues. Gambling, as all kinds of habits, fun and very cool way of lifestyle in my opinion. If you don't like it, you should be able to stop yourself. Nothing you experience is a result of something evil. Its all about your own choices. People should learn to control themselves.

The wish of the man who joining the gambling site was to take the money from the gambling site as the winning.But the wish of the all gamblers was not real,because some gamblers winning in the gambling and others not able to win the game.This winning not only because of the gambling participants,if the gamblers had a luck.They will make the winning money using the luck even by the doing the random betting in casino and sports bets.If the gamblers had the strategy for the game which he regularly play in the gambling site will increase the chance of winning money in the same gambling site.So the gamblers should take the luck or strategy part in the gambling site.

don't expect government to dedicate their resources into this kind of problem because they have other important issues to address with. it is the people themselves need to change the mindset on things. because it is their own prerogative why they are gambling in the first place. so it should be them who should take care of their own self.

because if you start looking for someone to be responsible with your behaviour, then, i guess, you are looking at the problem the wrong way.


well, they are only fooling themselves for something that is not the truth. at the end of the day, you are responsible for yourself and no one else. the early you accept such reality, the better for your understanding of your life and move on to create a better path for yourself.

Some people choose to blame others in life instead of accepting responsibility for their own actions, which sounds like the case you describe. I've seen it is definitely more prevalent in addicts, when it comes to gambling they can often build up so much rage from losing when they should be reflecting that they kept throwing away all their money trying to chase a big win. You'll often see it in reviews left for gambling sites, where they blame rigging and cheating, but the reality is - most casinos are absolutely open and up front about how they operate, they tell you that they'll take a few cents out of every bet you wager on average, which means if you play long enough you'll hand it all over.

Some people be like " gambling ruined my life", "crypto ruined my life", or "real estate ruined my life" like it was not their decision to it. Gambling in general doesn't mean to ruin someone's life, that's the least I can say though we have heard a lot of stories from fellow gamblers, but they don't take it easy and responsibly, so at the end there's nothing or no one they can blame but their self. But somehow, I get the idea that they blame it to something else just to cope up with the fact that it's like never their mistake to do it, defense mechanism of people who refuses to reflect on themselves.

Just bet/stake to entertain, it is not so much to gamble, just don't wish a yacht with your $10 wagers.

When it comes to gambling you shouldn't expect anyone to blame their wrong actions rather they put all the blame on gambling and funny how they keep blaming gambling for their reckless life and cannot resist the force of gambling.
I don't think anyhow has blamed gambling in this forum but addiction should be controlled to avoid loss, I understand why people always want to paint gambling bad because they never wanted the profit they expected and it can lead to heartbreak most especially if the person expected much from the bet, that's a normal feeling for everyone not just in the gambling aspect, when we expected much from a business or job and never earn any profit, we keep blaming the business and forgetting the mistake we make during the process. No one actually said gambling is bad but angry people will speak against gambling, why not withdraw from gambling if you're not feeling happy gambling.

It is not gambling that is wrong, nor is it gambling that makes us worse off and suffer. Gambling is about fun, many people have problems and stress, they can feel entertained by the gambling they do.

It's not that gambling is wrong, but we ourselves have misunderstood gambling itself, and we ourselves have created this misery and suffering. We often think that gambling can provide benefits and can lead us to a gateway to financial success. Until in the end this assumption encourages us to behave badly when playing it. We think that gambling is about profit, so we bet large amounts and spend the money we have on gambling, because we believe that if we win, the amount of money we get will be many times the amount we spent before. . We often believe these lies and these lies are what we often do.

People's problems persists because they are not willing to blame themselves. Gambling never forces anybody to participate. These people gamble each day on their own will power and don't complain when the money is still on their bank roll. Once the whole money finishes they'll begin to blame it on gambling. We all know that gambling has some emotional connection to the brain, which may have facilitated the gambler to stake money with out control. But, those flaws is of the player's responsibility. As not all gambler face the same trouble. Op's response is excellent and gamblers need to stop derailing the advantages of gambling. Telling people gambling is the reason they went financially broke wouldn't uplift them from their current situation. Searching for a means out is the best move for the person. If he's addicted, getting out of it should be his main priority. Not just putting the blame on gambling. It's not just wrong, but delays the duration it'll take to solve the person's problems.

That is very common and human nature, only a few people blame themselves compared to blaming others.
All things that happen to us are the result of our doings and decisions, and if lose our money as we are gambling, it is because we do it in the wrong way. In fact, nobody urges us to gamble but it is our willingness and desire that pushes us to spend money. Whether we lose or not, it is our decision, nobody is involved.

Blaming always happens when we lose but if we win, never even say thank you. ;D

Gambler can’t admit the part that they are in fault here and that is a normal reaction of human nature every time they made a mistake or lose the money not unless you really know how to be more responsible. Blaming others are more easy to do so the gamblers can start moving on, this might still be ok but I’d hope that someday you’ll also start accepting that whatever the result you are getting that is from your own action and you should be more aware of it.

To make you understand why, you may need to look at another instance. It’s like someone saying that cocaine nearly ruined their life. The point in that context is that the thing being spoken of is addictive. When you get addicted, you lose control, when you lose control, bad things start happening. He may be the one to play the gamble or in my example, consume the cocaine, however that addictive feeling that calls back is the problem. Additionally for gambling, greed also has a role to play because some people get lost in their greed and stake too much money.

Those are people who doesnt have the habitude of acceptance. It's an important step towards accountability to accept our decisions and choices play a significant role in the outcomes we experienced. Blaming others can be a more instinctive response than introspection that shows immaturity and unreadiness to enjoy risky activities like gambling.

Applying the habit of acceptance into our lives allows for a more constructive approach to out decisions and activities, espcially gambling. Experience of earning money should be a lesson that losing money is also the cause of our decisions and activities. ⁤We can consciously choose to redirect that energy towards self-reflection and personal development by understanding that blaming others can be an instinctive response. ⁤

The main key on here is that you should not make yourself that get addicted then you should really be just fine. The only thing here is that mistakes is something that would come through into those delusional motive and inputs on gambling on which on the time that you are anticipating on making yourself that getting rich through it then you would really be making yourself that desperate and on the time that you would desperate then you would really be spending money like a mad man on which you would really be gambling out as long you do have the money and as long you dont
able to reach out that goal or target that you do have in mind. There's no other that should really be getting blamed but only into yourself considering that you are the ones who do make
out such actions in the first place and not on other people.

I can't stop thinking about people who blame gambling even though gambling is a game that is meant to have fun, and only people who abuse it can't accept gambling and hate it. Someone abuses gambling because they are too careless in gambling, they don't think about the risk of losing, so they gamble without full control, causing an addiction that destroys their own life, and maybe this is why society views gambling badly, but because they see people who are irresponsible, careless and not discipline in gambling so that it influences people's minds to view gambling negatively.

I'm a gambler but when I lose money every time I gamble I don't hate gambling or get emotional with losing and I also don't think I've given up and don't do it again no I don't think like that, but because I realize that gambling is a game, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, so I can accept when I lose and don't blame or hate gambling because that's what gambling is.

sometimes it is the one who represent gambling to us that to blame  ;D because without them/those
we will never enter gambling and may not be infected with its addiction , but of course that is stupid belief as we are
human that must be responsible for our own decision specially in gambling that it is our money  that involves? how come
that to be blame others for our own wrong doings.

it is given mate that when you lose your money of course you will find who will be to blame ?
Gamblers is also a victims here guys because you cannot tell that if you are not addicted , as addiction is
 a worldwide problem.

1.Blaming someone else(or something else) for your own failures is easier. That's human nature and you can't change it.
2.Do you try to push the narrative that gambling should not be blamed for gambling addicts ruining their lives?
Yeah, gambling is perfect, it's only you, who should be blamed, when you get addicted and you waste all your money. :D
I think that that the blame should be shared between the gambling industry and the gamblers, who lose self-control and become addicted.
Unfortunately, gambling in one of the industries, that make the most money out of the weak-minded and emotionally unstable people.
This cannot be changed. This is the sad reality. I don't hate gambling in general, but we can't just pretend that the gambling industry is perfect that getting addicted is only a problem for the addicts. Addiction is a problem for the entire society.

People constantly place the blame on others rather than on themselves. It's funny that when they lose or ruin themselves, things like this only happen to them; the company will then be held responsible. We all gamble and don't complain about any ruination, but avaricious people who want to make millions of dollars overnight will keep placing bets and losing because they are greedy and failed to exercise responsibility. We all know that gambling is so fascinating that it's easy to lose track of concentration. Gambling is simply placing bets; it requires discipline before circulation.

Finding the right time to gamble is essential to enjoying all of this; gambling is a personal choice, so people should stop holding others accountable and start taking responsibility for their actions. It should be simple to distinguish between when to gamble and when not to gamble.

Gamble as a hobby, not a way to get rich. We must prioritize experience before profit. We should be drawn to the excitement, unpredictability, and social component, not the prize. When we consider gambling as a surefire method to succeed financially, we risk illogical judgments and financial imprudence

Remember that gaming is risky by nature. The odds are usually against us, which adds to the excitement. Gambling becomes a problem when we chase losses or gamble above our means. Setting limits, understanding when to stop, and enjoying the ride are key. Gambling should be about fun, adrenaline, and socializing, not winning. We can enjoy gambling as entertaining, occasional entertainment when we follow these rules

It's always easier to blame someone else for your misfortunes than to take it upon yourself and accept that you're wrong. Unfortunately, it's not easy to accept that you're addicted or that it's purely your fault for losing all your money. This applies to all kinds of addictions, such as alcoholism, drugs, and so on. As you've also mentioned yourself, psychological assistance from the government is inadequate; it can take months to schedule an appointment with a public therapist, while visits to a private licensed therapist are quite pricy, especially for someone who has blown their money away.

The first step in such cases is to identify the problem, which is often yourself, and seek help. There are support groups that may also assist, but it's vital to accept that you're struggling and ask for assistance, even through the public health system, if necessary.

Many people already consider gambling a bad thing to do, knowing that background gambling that it can ruin someone's life, people should have the trait of being responsible gamblers so it won't reach the part that it can ruin your life. I'm pointing out that before you start gambling you already know the risk of being involved with this kind of activity that without any limit and self-control it could be possible for you to get addicted. The thing is people don't want to worsen their situation when telling a story to anyone, they cannot point their finger at themselves as they don't want to lower their pride and dignity. Plus it is easier to blame someone or anything cause that person could help to ease up their feelings but it is still a lie which is much worse.

     -   Until now, most people have had a bad view of gambling, and you can't blame them because many lives have been ruined because of gambling when it wasn't used correctly. That's why some responsible gamblers always say to try to have self-control over our emotions and ourselves, and also don't let us as gamblers get into greediness as well.

Because after all, we can be bad and good at gambling, whether the method we use here is right or wrong. Let's not let gambling control us; instead, let's try to control the gambling we do when we enter casinos.

When we fail in life, we are always trying to find someone to put the blame on, we don’t want to hold ourselves responsible for the mistakes we make. When gambling, you have the right to stop gambling whenever you want. If you gamble with a small amount and decide to stop gambling, the casino house won’t force you to continue gambling, you are the one looking for money. That’s why you keep on gambling and you gamble with a large amount of money. Gambling sites never ask anyone to make their gambling site a source of income. When you make a mistake, you have to discover your mistake and correct yourself. Don’t blame others for your mistake.

This is a normal thing that some gamblers do when they lose at gambling. They will easily blame gambling for making them lose a lot of money without wanting to introspect the mistakes they have made. However, if they want to introspect themselves, the mistake is theirs, and they must realize it and try not to make the same mistake. They are too eager to win from gambling, so they don't pay attention to what they need to do to avoid losing. They really can't be responsible for their gambling activities, so they experience more losses than other people and don't want to realize it. And if they still make the same mistake another day, they will blame it on gambling again, as usual.

Those of us who gamble should be able to realize that we have to accept defeat sincerely and don't need to blame anyone, including gambling. We are responsible for ourselves, so we must realize that we have gambled excessively, and there must be corrections for our mistakes. By realizing these mistakes and being willing to learn from them, we can become wiser in using gambling.

With all the negative stereotypes gambling has gotten over the years,  many people still fall victim of gambling abuse. Experience they say is the best teacher but people will still not learn from either their own mistakes or other people's mistakes, the bottom line still remains that gambling is bad. Funny enough the gambling industry is growing everyday and thesame people who are tagging gambling bad are the ones promoting it both directly and indirectly. Maybe the gains from winning are just too sweet for them to overlook  ;D .

Anyone who wants to be safe should have a rethink.  If you continue to gamble wrongly, casinos will continue to use you to enrich themselves why you continue with the blame game. With all the accusing fingers pointed at Gambling,  the casinos still have nothing to lose.

I think gambling is difficult to control the emotions of some people, even like crazy people who lose their souls if they become addicts who don't know how to stop. I even saw some people robbing their parents of their money to gamble. I'm sure they are not well educated and make gambling a way or shortcut to getting rich so they forget how to work. I think there is no one we can blame if we lose in this game, accepting to play means accepting our losses and wins. we reserve the right to leave the person or disqualify the person who blames others in playing.

Nevertheless, these people are partially right. Not everyone is to blame for becoming addicted to casinos, it's just that these people turned out to be weak in their inner qualities. Can we blame them for this?
I think they rather need specialized help, but their desire to be cured will perfectly show the very essence of such problematic players.
Someone pretends to be addicted while working on it, but someone really wants to return life and their original state. The one that was at the time BEFORE the game.

There are countless people in gambling who manage to gamble but after losing they try to blame the gambling platform instead of blaming themselves. It is a low characteristic of most people. I want to say for that particular people since the gambling platform does not force them why they blame the gambling platform for their bad situation. Most of the time when the gamblers win the bet or get the jackpot it doesn't reflect on them but when they lose their money by over greedy betting then gambling becomes a big problem for them. A gambler is admissible if he takes such thoughtful and necessary decisions before gambling but when he has nothing else to do after losing everything, he is trying to blame.

Blaming the toaster for burned toast is easy but ineffective. I understand the rush. Gambling is like hot cuisine. A little adds flavor, but too much causes discomfort.

Like driving, you cant control traffic but can control your actions. Gambling requires knowing when to stop. Those losses? Feedback, not bad luck. "Hey, maybe rethink your strategy, or maybe its time for a break." Instead of blaming the game, reflection is needed.

I say gamble with your head, not over it. Set limitations, follow them, and remember its fun, not a full-time work. When it stops being fun, step back. It takes smarts, not luck. And learning from mistakes? Thats life advancement.

It's not only about gambling, people often try to find ways to blame others for their mistakes if their mistakes either make them or someone else lose something or cause a negative consequence of any sort, and if they find the opportunity to do that, they don't let it go and do their best so that someone else or something else is blamed for what they did and they are proved innocent. I don't say that this is what everyone does, but many people tend to have such habits.

I hate people who don't have the guts to accept their mistakes and say that yes, it's our fault that they did a certain thing and we are sorry for it if it caused anyone something negative or they feel bad for themselves because they did that thing instead of making excuses or blaming someone else for that.

I agree. You should never blame the inanimate object, or a concept, but yourself. People who do that are in denial or completely broken and depressed and that's all they can think of, that they weren't aft fault but it's this devil that made them do it.
It's funny, but think of any addiction and you'll see that people do the same. It's not me, it's alcohol. It's not me, it's heroine that makes me do all these things.
The only advice I have to you if you're one of these people is: get a grip, own your life because you're not a puppet on a string. You are in control!

It's a habit that tend to playoff in most gamblers and I can say it's even a general thing in most person that are irresponsible in a general sense although most of them do this after losing major funds. If a gambler has the ability to set some principle that will guide him or her on his habit then he or she will find out that this gambling activities is actually fun and nothing to put blame on someone. The funny thing is that they don't tend to blame anyone if the results goes in favor of them but when it goes sideways then it becomes a problem.

Yes what the OP said is true and maybe I would also blame the person more than the gambling, because casinos created gambling just for leisure activities and not for something that should be done seriously, fun should be the main focus if you want to engage in gambling, understanding the basic concept of gambling about winning and losing will at least keep you a little awake from the wrong point of view and out of control actions. People say that gambling almost ruined their lives when in fact there are quite a few people out there (gamblers) who are doing just fine despite their involvement in gambling.

It is very clear that the main problem and cause is because they are unable to control their gambling activities, do not understand that gambling is a game of probability that has no certainty and guarantees that are only suggested to fill empty time when you are off work for example. And I'm sure the person the OP is referring to is one of those who is nothing but a victim of addiction due to having the wrong approach, so the point is if you want to gamble then first understand what gambling is, what the chances of winning are and how bad the risks are in gambling, if you don't want to lose money then it's better not to get involved.

The gambler who want the entertainment alone and doesn’t need any money returns will be the successful gambler.Because they can feel the gambling without any depression,the expectation will always hurt.We know this,the Men always know this.Because if he love the girl,she may reject his proposals.The same thing will happen in the marriage proposal of the men.The gambling was the third one in the row for the men.So the experienced gamblers will try to entertain themselves with the good entertainment.The wrong approach to the gambling by expecting the dollars as the return will leads to the loss in the gambling at the end.

It is usually a normal human nature for people to blame others or  something else for their misfortunes. Under many occasions people are advised to gamble responsibly but most times not everyone does this some persons who are gambling addicts can even go out of their way to take quick loan from people just to gamble which is wrong even if there is a chance of winning.

Sometimes gambling addiction is driven by greed but still gambling cannot be blamed for making someone go bankrupt but rather the  person. Besides people are the architect of most of their problems and not gambling.

if someone experiences bad things that can be said to have ruined their life because of gambling, it is because of their own wrong actions, and not because of wrong gambling, people who have a good mindset towards gambling I think even though they are active in gambling but they don't experience anything bad especially with their lives being ruined, because they know the limits of gambling responsibly, if someone whose life is ruined and says that because gambling is wrong, it is because they themselves are wrong in responding to their gambling, because if If they don't gamble excessively, maybe their life won't be ruined. because I am sure that someone who is addicted to gambling and experiences their life being destroyed is also based on their own wrong actions towards gambling, it is not their gambling fault, because gambling is basically a paid game and it is normal for us to lose money in gambling because that is the rule. gambling was established to generate profits for the company, and if their lives are ruined it is because they forced themselves to make a profit in the wrong way.

There are many bad and negative points of view towards gambling because gambling has changed a lot of people's lives to ruin, but you need to know that the destruction occurred because of their own actions, their lives will not be ruined if they gamble wisely and don't overdo it.

Unfortunately this is something that not even quarter the number of gamblers do. Gamble as a hobby? No. The average person is in it for money… in fact desperately for money. This is just the truth. They gamble carelessly just because they want to solve all their life problems all at once. And I don’t think gambling should be about fun generally. You just shouldn’t be too invested in it. It shouldn’t be about fun because the outcome is unknown. What’s fun knowing that your money could be gone and gone forever? It’s fun when you win. But when you stake the money? You just have to be optimistic.

Gambling definitely plays a part in getting these people hooked until they get addicted, but I do agree with you, for the most part it all depends upon the person that's gambling. For example, we have people who have never gambled in their lives be so addicted to gambling from the get-go that it became their lifestyle, eventually shit hit the fan and now they are addicted to it with no signs or chances of recovery. But there are also newbloods who have never tried gambling but are so consistent with keeping their shit in check that you'd think they learnt how to gamble responsibly the hard way.

Gambling is inherently addicting, it's up to you if you would let yourself fall for this honeytrap and subject yourself to possible years if not decades of problems and gambling addiction, or if you're going to stand up to become a more responsible gambler version of yourself so you don't lose more than what you can afford to lose and end your sessions with a pretty intact bankroll, if not a net profit. I myself learned how to gamble responsibly and for the fun only after realizing that I'm slowly becoming addicted to gambling. I quit cold turkey and only came back when my mindset is solid and configured to only gambling when I am not overwhelmed with emotions that would affect my gambling behavior.

It's not an investment, it's a game, a gamble that can get you your money back, or you'll lose it, but consciously and know the risks.

As long as I play games at gambling, I just enjoy it as entertainment only, not using a lot of money because I know this will disappear.
When you ask what's fun when you'll find out that your money will be gone, it's like you bought cigarettes for you to smoke,
and you know it's just going to be useless smoke.

This is a pleasure that cannot be measured only from one point of view,
Everyone has their own pleasure and is willing to spend their money to achieve that pleasure.

In gambling when winning it is only a bonus and certainly will not always win.
Gambling in person is just a boredom busting game for me and not as a primary source of income,
so it's clear I don't put all my money into gambling.

Defense mechanism, in particular with displacement. Due to frustrations, we tend to redirect our stress to an object and in this case, the man blames gambling, as an activity, which ruined his life but in reality, it is him who made those bets and it is him who engaged to gambling in the first place. But are they aware of it? Yes which is why they are displacing the stress to other things. Is it a bad thing? It depends; sometimes we need to accept our mistakes in order to learn from it and there are just times we need to displace the stress tooither object in order to move on and to free ourself from it, just depends on what type of an individual you are or what would work for you more.
Gambling addiction is always driven by greed. You won't be obsessed of something if it is not too much and it happened that gambling involves money. What makes people obsessed with gambling is the idea of hitting the jackpot and getting rich in an instant. Although people are aware of the odds of winning, we still think in such way 'coz we are seeing people who are actually winning in gambling across different games; this gives an idea to gamblers that their 'time' would also come someday, however it won't be guaranteed no matter how long you are playing. You could win indeed but will not always be millions in an instant.

Listen. This idea is one of the most interesting that I have come across here. Often people say that this job is destroying me or that my spouse is destroying me or something like that. In fact, if something bothers you or destroys you, then just leave that place. When people talk about a disease with which they can’t do anything, that’s a different matter, but I understand them perfectly well. But when a person says that gambling destroys him, this is not true. It is he who destroys himself, not gambling. 5/5 for this article

You have expressed it very correctly, and that is exactly what happened. Adding just a little money can cause our losses to get bigger, especially if we add a large amount of money. That will increase the number of losses even greater.

But if you can control the gambling games you play and also know how much money you have to use, you won't experience too many losses. You can still enjoy gambling as entertainment because that is the purpose of gambling, so you don't gamble excessively. You will also know when to stop gambling after a while.

If you feel that you have been gambling too much, you should immediately take a break and taking leave for a few days or weeks is very feasible. That is what wise gamblers do who do not force themselves when gambling.

Reality is hard to accept.

And even when we're just losing, we don't want to take the gamble but who is gambling with our money? is it your friend, your relative or some random guy?

None of them but us.

It's just to accept the reality that within our hands, we've lost and became losers. But when we win and became profitable, who's going to take the credit? Definitely, ourselves.

What do you mean by success? does it mean that they will get a lot of money from gambling so that they can become rich people? it doesn't make sense if the idea of success is brought to gambling, but on the other hand, I conclude that maybe the word success you mean is those who can maintain and control their gambling properly so that it stays fine and does not experience a large number of defeats. It is true that excessive expectations are usually the problem why gamblers are unable to accept the fact at the end of the session that they lost so that emotions dominate and finally chase defeat to return the money that has been lost without a specified time limit, simply put, excessive expectations will only make us feel disappointed at the end of the session.

Exactly, experienced gamblers will usually know what they should do, none other than because they already have a high number of hours in gambling so they can know what to do if the situation in gambling starts to go wrong such as taking a break and resuming tomorrow, and different from gamblers who are always focused on winning. instead of getting a win but the opposite happens they suffer the number of losses in the long run slowly.

Well that is a Very Common case , it is Difficult for Human beings to Accept that they Made a Mistake, very few are the ones who will Accept such Blame, in fact things should always be like this, I have seen many Threads Dealing with this Issue , but in all of them there is always the subtopic of addiction, and that is something that usually Calls me the Attention because I know that in gold there are many people who are suffering from this, and it is Terrible , or I can Imagine how someone is like these at the moment they are not apsndo porn this Type of cporbelma that in fact has to treat it very quickly before it happens to maorpes us always have to consider something before Playing , that if we do not control ourselves it is inevitable that we add in the Addiction , the emotion , the impulse are the that make us talk About them , sometimes listening to people who say that Some Friends or People have been so lucky that they are able to play in the casino and win, but that from one moment to the next things went wrong and I try to recover the lost dienor.

It is very difficult to make money from a Casino that the person who has lost Returns it to the casino through the game, the only way is to make very big losses that force the casino to give what was invested and a little of Previous funds and that It's just that it's not very viable, because to do something like that you need a lot of luck and that's not common at all, but particularly if the person tries to do that scheme or this tactic, then the worst thing you can do is mess things up when you try to take decisions, is it when we decide, if it is yes, well, if not, considering so many things, we can think that every time a person enters a house, there is a strong potential for Being addicted ? N o, the people who are in a casino should have the greatest of all strength not to spend more than they should, there is the secret that many people have who are currently lost under this influence and are addicted.
