Who do you blame?

[Odusko]

The gambler need to accept responsibility for his actions because is in so doing that he will have the capacity to overcome anything that he feels is the reason why he should have a blame in the first place, for someone who can not accept their own fault, how then can their be able to accept the mistake that ended them in that situation in the first place, alot of times we need to come to a point and a conclusion with this things and avoid passing our gambling blames on anyone else but ourselves because that is when we can make amend to what make us to start playing the blame game in the first place.

[ShowOff]

I agree with you on this...gambling is a thing of choice, some people say that the reason why they gamble is because the government failed to provide job opportunities but they forget that gambling isn't a smart way to get a daily income, there are other things out there that you can get involved in to make money..it's self deceit to blame others for the decisions that we make when we are not even forced to make them.

There are too many people misleading about gambling. IMO, gambling isn't for the source of income, it tends to be a source of entertainment or fun. Even we expect to earn money from gambling, it should be just trying luck. It means we don't expect too much to earn money constantly through gambling. The chance to win isn't that high, there is no guarantee to always win. So, it doesn't make any sense that there are people who make gambling as their main jobs.

Well, blaming the government isn't wise. Even if the government can't provide enough jobs, we shouldn't choose an alternative job like gambling. There are too many other alternative jobs which can offer us a better future.

In my opinion, those who blame the government and then choose gambling as a shortcut to earning a living are actually people addicted to gambling. I think they're trying to cover up their lazy nature, unwilling to make the effort to find better jobs like everyone else. It's certainly very difficult to find a stable job that can guarantee a future, but using gambling as a way to do so is wrong.

Gambling is an expensive form of entertainment and is actually meant for those who have plenty of money, not for people with limited financial means. In reality, many people misunderstand this and treat gambling as a way to make money. Therefore, it is not surprising that in practice, more poor people become addicted to gambling than wealthy ones.

I absolutely agree with your statement that gambling addiction is normally hidden under the umbrella of earning a livelihood or as an excuse to fault the system. I concur that this mindset is an act of evading individual responsibility in place of seeking better ways to improve the working conditions. I consider that although it is a legitimate and hard task to find a gainful employment and a future, the need to switch actions to gambling is one of the primary errors. I will say gambling is a way of having a luxurious entertainment activity, and this should not affect the economic wellbeing of the individual in terms of money loss.

We have to note that the grip a lot of people harbour about gambling as a source of revenue lure individuals who would least be able to purchase. I cannot conclude without the fact that lack of even wealth disparity creates a scenario where the poor can spare more to gamble with and thus it is easier to get into the addictive circle of relationships.

In the society that we live in today, most people find more comfort in putting their blame on others. It makes them a bit relax, settling with the 'it's not your fault' mindset. I keep saying this, even if someone convinced another person into doing something, it is the duty of the person who ends up being convinced, to decide if to take the advice, and also taking the blame shouldn't be excluded as well.

The negative side of gambling is a very serious problem that so many people struggle with. They allow the fun part of it to overshadow them, leaving them completely helpless in the hands of addictions. And the worst sets of addicts that might struggle to recover are those that either can't agree that they are addicted, or those that blame their addiction problems on others

[Sandra_hakeem]

Sup, often gambling is blamed for making people part with their money, or casinos are blamed for existing, or government is blamed for allowing gambling in particular country, and along the lines.

Point being, just because there is gambling available, at the end of the day, it's individual's own choice that (s)he decided do it, and no one is to be blamed except oneself if something bad happens.
Do you take responsibility for your losses, or do you play blame game?

They all feel like taking responsibility for their mistakes resulting to 'em losses these days is a worthless way of learning from it. Everytime they make a public display, it's always that one thing made them prolong their stay, or increase their stakes/ just some random other excuses that don't even add up. The point is clear; if you don't want no smoke, stay away from gambling and allow the bold minds to lavish their wealth in the best ways that their desire approves.

If you decide to gamble, don't complain. I know the other parties have a thing or two to do with the control to avoid escalation, but even at that-- help them by keeping a safe distance if you don't have a thick skin.

Their own system is often manipulative, and how can it not confuse players who aren't used to it? I think at this point, platform owners must also have ethics in attracting and, if possible, retaining players to make their platforms fairer.

This whole thing feels like a never-ending cycle. So, in my opinion, who deserves the blame? Everyone has their own role: players, operators, and even policymakers. Don't just focus on winning and money, ignoring the self-respect and control over their users' lives.

[junder]

Nobody is to be blame, as an adult,we should learn to take responsibility of our actions or the outcome of the decision we are making.

In gambling as an adult, we don't need to put our blame when we losses game , but when we win the game we are free to accept the wins, that is not fair at all.in wins and loss we are to accept it because we are adults and we were not forced to gamble or we are not gambling for anyone, accept the outcome of the game and work on yourself if need be so that you can improve and do better next time because if you don't,you keep on failing and making mistakes that is supposed to have been corrected .

That's right, if you want to blame, then just blame yourself for why you have to do it until you experience the loss. If what happens is blaming others then that is not mature behavior, basically we already have the mind to distinguish between what is good and what is not good for ourselves so accepting the consequences is a mature behavior that must be done. Realizing that the decisions we make are our own choices so accepting the results whether it is a profit or loss must be accepted, blaming others for the losses that occur is wrong behavior as long as the decision is purely our own choice and not forced by others.

[Zackz5000]

Not the government  is to be blamed for allowing gambling in a particular country, nor the casino is to be blamed for existing in the first place, because gambling is a choice. You are the one to decide wether to be part of it or not, so if you decide to be part of it with your money then gamble responsibly and with the money you can afford to lose. So if you decide to gamble irresponsibly and lose all your money blame yourself for that act and not the government for allowing gambling to exist in your country nor the casino for existing in the first place.

We shouldn't even blame our self for our action, gamblers who put blames on them after losing is a baby gambler or an irresponsible gambler or an addict who gamble all time with also the money he can't afford to let go, we can't blame casinos or Government for our action because they never called any body to come gamble it wasn't even done under duress, if only we can be a responsible gamblers and then do it with money we can afford to loss then no body will be blamed.

[Ever-young]

Yeah, I get where you’re coming from. If a gambler is responsible enough to know that there are high chances of losses in gambling and then gamble with what they can actually afford to lose, even when those losses comes, they must’ve already been prepared for it and there’d be no need apportion blame on anyone right? The casinos are just doing their job, and you can’t blame them for doing that, a gambler on the other hand should be prepared for losses at all time, which means they should be wise enough to put in funds that if lost wouldn’t arouse emotions or lead to blaming oneself or another party in the first place. That’s what responsible gambling is about.

[Fredomago]

Yeah, whatever it is the blame should be on us, as we allow things to happen there's no way you should blame someone if we decided to follow someone when we place our bets, taking full responsibilities will give us easier acceptance and to move forward and let things go, gambling is a risky activity so before entering you should have that kind of mentality that you are capable in acccepting the blame.

 And taking blame shows that the bettor is taking responsibility and you will see that next time there won't be any for of thought of blaming anyone because another thing is that even blaming your self is not necessary is just a game. And when ever anyone loses they should accept it and then move on because when even if you decide to blame anyone nothing changes so what's the point.

And real gamblers have even learn to accept there failures because you know that you can not be dwelling on the past. Then the next thing that can be done is for anyone one to try there luck better instead of complaining and there people that will blame the casinos buy my question exactly is for what why are they blaming them because of your prediction are right then they will give you your price. But when you lose then you blame how does that even work. And people that are addicted might be the onces blaming.

Funny but that's reality, when you win you are good and you feel entitled but when you lose then that's the time that you point finger to someone and even with how the casino place their odds, it's a emotion where you can accept the outcome which is very important whenever you step inside gambling, knowing both potential and risk are very crucial as it helps you to move forward.

Having that mindset that luck is not always on your side and upset can happen will allow you to learn things when you are in sessions, just take that opportunity to learn when you lose and takeyour profits when you win.

[xenomorfo]

Yeah, I get where you?re coming from. If a gambler is responsible enough to know that there are high chances of losses in gambling and then gamble with what they can actually afford to lose, even when those losses comes, they must?ve already been prepared for it and there?d be no need apportion blame on anyone right?

That?s what responsible gambling is about.

In addition to responsibility, I would say that there needs to be some sort of understanding. If the player who gambles understands that it is just a game and that he must do it solely and exclusively to have fun, then everything works. The problem is that many players think that by playing, be it gambling, cards or anything else, they can earn, they can earn a living and unfortunately this is not the case, that is the problem.

[cxtreenal]

I completely agree with you. If you do not know and do not accept your fault during the time of losing in gambling then how will you correct yourself? In my opinion if you discuss the reasons for your loss with experienced gamblers, then you will be able to understand where your mistake was. It is possible to solve most of the problems through discussion. You will see positive results by taking advice from experts and applying those strategies in the game. These suggestions are for those gamblers who do not understand their own mistakes. When they can find out the reason for their loss in gambling and admit their irresponsibility, it will be easier for them to correct themselves.

[ZeroVinsonN]

No body will force you to gambling you don't want to, it's your choice and as a gamblers you shouldn't be trying to put the blame on someone else for the decisions you made yourself, if you can take the cut then you can take the stitches, we should learn to be responsible for our own actions instead of looking for who to blame, if you hit a jackpot would you credit it to someone else?? So why blame another person when you lose, if you can't handle your loses then stop gambling and save yourself the effort because even after you see people complaining about how much they have lost to gambling you will still see these same people gambling again and again.

[GIF-JOBS]

Yeah, I get where you?re coming from. If a gambler is responsible enough to know that there are high chances of losses in gambling and then gamble with what they can actually afford to lose, even when those losses comes, they must?ve already been prepared for it and there?d be no need apportion blame on anyone right?

The problem is that many players think that by playing, be it gambling, cards or anything else, they can earn, they can earn a living and unfortunately this is not the case, that is the problem.

I agree with you, it is most important to maintain the right mindset about gambling, those who think that gambling can always only be won, that is, they think that most of the time they can win from gambling, and they gamble a lot in the hope of winning, and this is what harms them the most, Because most of the time they end up losing more than winning. So, along with a sense of responsibility, awareness and understanding of reality are the most important, one must keep a limit to gambling, and one must keep the right mindset, that is, if you gamble only with the hope of winning, then this is the wrong thing. As a gambler, you must accept the loss, and you must first be careful about this loss, so that if you lose, you can refrain from making emotional decisions.

[Lidger]

If I blame others for losing money by gambling due to my own wrong decisions or if I keep saying why our government has allowed gambling in our country, then it will be wrong for us. Since I am not getting any benefit from blaming others, I think it is completely unreasonable to blame others for my defeat. As long as I complain to others, I can work on my mistakes and we can try not to repeat the same mistake again. When you gamble, it is normal to lose money, but if you see that instead of making a profit, you are only losing money continuously, then you will stop there and take a break and try to work on your mistakes. In this way, if gambling is planned and done responsibly, then I think the results will not go very against a gambler.

[Y3shot]

Sup, often gambling is blamed for making people part with their money, or casinos are blamed for existing, or government is blamed for allowing gambling in particular country, and along the lines.

Casinos are not to be blamed, nor is the government for gamblers gambling; rather, gamblers are to be blamed for not understanding gambling initially and only having the mindset to make money from it.

Many gamblers are having a good time gambling and enjoying their games because they understand the amount they need to use. Those who gamble uncontrollably should not blame the casino or the government; the reason for their gambling is their desire to make money from the casino.

[LUCKMCFLY]

They are a lot of things that you have to make a choice for it doesn't matter if it is bad or good, you are the one to make the decision, the truth is that one way or the other individuals has been led nto gambling maybe through a friend or through mobile devices or different other forms, if one is very discipline he or she would have gone to make research about it to know the good side of it and the bad size of it , then it is led for you to make a decision to either get involved in it or leave it,

It is very true, this is one of the things that we must see the most, that every decision is ours , if we decide to let ourselves be carried away by the Advice of others it is also our decision, therefore the responsibility is only ours and no one else's.

[kawetsriyanto]

In my opinion, those who blame the government and then choose gambling as a shortcut to earning a living are actually people addicted to gambling. I think they're trying to cover up their lazy nature, unwilling to make the effort to find better jobs like everyone else. It's certainly very difficult to find a stable job that can guarantee a future, but using gambling as a way to do so is wrong.

Gambling is an expensive form of entertainment and is actually meant for those who have plenty of money, not for people with limited financial means. In reality, many people misunderstand this and treat gambling as a way to make money. Therefore, it is not surprising that in practice, more poor people become addicted to gambling than wealthy ones.

Addicted to gambling or not, they probably don't really understand about the nature of gambling. If they know well gambling, they will never have an idea to choose a shortcut way in gambling. Yeah, there are also people who are lazy to do hard efforts. So they choose gambling as the way to solve their financial problem. Those lazy people will be difficult to give an advice because they always think about the difficulty in working.

I think gambling can be not quite expensive as long as we have the fund limit. However, I agree that the poor people who have very limited money, they are better to focus on fulfilling their main necessities than trying luck or getting entertainment in gambling. Even if we have chance to earn money in gambling, we can't use the money for main necessities because there is no guarantee to win the games.

[Africolo]

Many gamblers are having a good time gambling and enjoying their games because they understand the amount they need to use. Those who gamble uncontrollably should not blame the casino or the government; the reason for their gambling is their desire to make money from the casino.

One desires to make money is not the problem, it's human nature to get something in return in anything they put so much effort on so whether one is gambling to escape poverty or playing only for the fun of the game is it still important that one must have control over their actions and activities, cause either way if there's no control it would lead to addiction problems which would eventually leads to bankruptcy.

You could be playing for entertainment with the desire not to win money just pure entertainment and still get bankrupt and ends up hating and blaming everything about yourself. At 18 you're liable for your own actions that's how the world works.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yeah a big mistake that you alone that will regret after committing it, there are gambler who can take that full responsibility while there are some who can't accept and will look for someone to point their fingers, if you are not willing to lose better not to engage that much, but if you have that discipline inside you, and can managed to handle whatever pressure that may reflect after placing your bets and if the outcome is not favorable.

I believe that above all we are people who must do things right and accept our mistakes and not blame anyone Those of us who are men must assume our responsibilities and our mistakes It is cowardly to blame others for our actions.
