Gamble what you can afford to lose

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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