Do you blame someone for your gambling losses?

[Pierre 2]

Gamblers don't need to blame anybody but themselves because it's not a random thing that you find yourself at the gambling place except that you get there wanting to win more money than you currently have. We know that often will not be the case because most of the people going there are just donating their money for some entertainment if more people win the place will be closed sooner or later but the reality is the contrary and if the man can't handle the heat in the kitchen, he better get out. But most of them choose to stay and will not gonna leave until they no longer have anything in them which will gonna turn into a disaster later. If they cannot get out of it, it will turn into an addiction and eventually lead to more serious matters such as the OP's post.

I get it, gamblers should own their actions. But I think it's too cut-and-dry, overlooking the tricky terrain. Sure, folks willingly walk into a casino, dreaming of a jackpot. But let's face it, casinos play mind games. The promise of riches and the cunning setup can turn even the steeliest heads.

Dumping all blame on gamblers ignores the casino's shark-like nature. These places are built to lure and hook. It's not just about personal will; it's about crafty industry tactics exploiting weak spots. Instead of just burdening the gambler, let's push for a fairer gambling space. Steps like protecting the susceptible, teaching responsible gambling, and holding the industry to account can dial down gambling's potential harm.

I actually I agree with you even though I believe in self control. I observed gambling atmosphere. All those shining lights, flashing color, sound effects are not there for nothing. Those exist to convince you. Sometimes even girl laborers there can blow your mind with their beauty etc. Everything in casino has purpose in my opinion. I feel like school teachers should focus on effects of casinos in classes to warn kids. When someone learn this at young age, consciousness will help a lot.

Many countries are still think gambling is taboo, so they want to stay away to talk about gambling matters, what they will say it the bad side of gambling e.g. addiction, lose money, ruin your life etc. As we know kids sometime will not listen everything and they're have a high curiosity to try anything they want. This make them fall to gambling and become a gambling addict. Teachers need to explain about both advantage and disadvantage, also don't force them to not touch gambling. Let them to choose and monitor them if they want to try.

This is what happens when you allow yourself to be controlled by greed. They realize that what they are doing is wrong, but they still do it. They thought that by filing a false report they would get their money back, but the courts were much smarter than that. I really feel sorry for them, because with that much money they should be able to improve their quality of life or open a business which is much more profitable for them than gambling that money. Now they have not only lost their money, but also jailed and fined for it, poor thing.

I confess that I can sometimes become greedy but I don't extend it by doing another wrong thing. Like they said, one mistake is already enough and doing another mistake won't fixed it but it will only make it worse. It's easy for them to do it, maybe because these people already have a bad record before. Have you noticed that many criminals repeat their mistakes? Because it is also addicting for them.

You shouldn't feel sorry for what they did but feel sorry for the innocent people that they blame. Improving one's quality of life doesn't always require money and even if they have the capital to start a business, there is still no guarantees that they can be successful with it but it is better to risk it this way, than in gambling.

It should be so but some blame others instead of themselves. They think that they are gambling because they asked them to. And when they lose playing gambling, they don't stop but keep playing gambling and in the end, they still lose. And slowly, without realizing it, they become addicted to gambling without anyone knowing it, even they don't know about it. It will be difficult for people like that to win gambling games because when they win, they don't stop but keep playing gambling until they finally lose.

Even someone encourages you to play. It's still your decision to make, not getting that point of blaming someone for your mistake and trying
to hide that addictions inside you and divert the attention to other people.

The point here is the money you use when you still have it. All the control is in your hands even someone asks you to play gambling you can easily say no if you wanted to as it is your hard-earned money.

But most of those who love pointing things to other people are the one who can't accept that they are already addicted or possibly to get addicted.

Indeed, all control is in our hands but when the urge to gamble gets stronger, we can be powerless to say no to our friends. At first, we decide to only gamble with a little money but after a while, we don't realize that we have used a lot of money. And that condition will be exacerbated by the defeats we experience, which will make us even more eager to recover from those losses and say this is the last time I gamble. But that doesn't really make us stop gambling because we can come back to the casino another time and gamble again. We will not blame our friends for inviting us to gamble at that time because we have gambled alone and not with our friends.

A gambler can get invited by his friends and then he can learn how to play and at one point he ignores the rules and can be addicted there and may blaming that friend that is not acceptable because the gambler just invited by this friend but everything have done by himself. Moreover, even if the gambler was lost by his friend's advice, that friend should not be blamed. Because in gambling loss or defeat are the common factor. Those who are just blaming by the defeat they have no proper idea about gambling.

Well if you understand  human beings to a certain level then you will know that its actually normal for them to constantly put blames on something or someone else as the cause of their problems which is almost the same case with some gamblers who tend to blame others for their defeat like this case of a friend inviting you and giving you opinion on what to gamble on and you took the suggestion and in so lost everything, its still not that persons fault because an opinion can still be ignored but you yourself choose to yield to it and it went bad for you why then should you complain and blame anyone.

So do these kids blame other people when they lose in their gambling activity?  I guess others do especially when someone had encouraged or suggested them to bet on something and losses.  Anyway, I also agree that the teacher must educate kids about the negative effect of gambling.  There should be no room for encouragement or lapses that these kids will take the path of trying gambling for themselves.   Don't let these kids choose for themselves in terms of gambling activity.  They must be forbidden reason why casinos only allowed 18 plus of age and not younger kids or teens.

And this is the problem with taboos and the outright prohibition of something for no reason at all, this discourages the open discussion about it and when the people which are more susceptible to become addicted find themselves in the position to gamble they do not have the tools necessary to resist and avoid this scenario, so it is interesting to think that such bans are in fact one of the causes of addictions in general, as it is known that awareness campaigns help to diminish the rate at which people can get addicted.

[QueenVera]

I think this case is relatively very small as co.lated to a recent thread I just stumbled on where a player sued a casino  wmfor not raising an alarm after he has lost over fifty eight thousand  dollars($58,000) in a day in just gambling and I couldn't  stop  laughing  out loud, like what the hell will someone intentionally gamble and intentionally  loss such amount of money and still has the guys to point fingers at the casino  for not raising an alarm and that if an alarm was raised, then It wasn't raised enough.
I think with all of this recent happening,  there might more disclaimers by casinos  so as to avoid any unnecessary embarrassment  as I find this very embarrassing

Gambling is not for the weak you have to be set for whatever comes as you gamble
Even when you follow the best punters you do not expect them to do magic
And those who blame others for loses are complete losers when you lose you analyze and also learn to be back up

[Sexylizzy2813]

When it comes to gambling we just have to be very careful with decision we make because it might cost us alot.
I could remember having a friend who love playing online betting and it all happened that while he was trying to stake a game something happened, his little sister was complaining to him about what he did and he left his phone just to correct what his sister was complaining to him, before he got back to his phone the games he was suppose to play has started and all the options he choose played accordingly. It was hell for the little girl. Now he had to channel all his anger to her, but was it her fault?
I still don't know why we have to blame someone for our mistakes, gambling is for those who are ready to take the fall. To me I can't blame my loss on someone.

That story you just told us is rather a problem on keeping the attention on the game when it is needed. He could have gone and do whatever he needed to do if he was rolling dices or playing mines, for example.

On the other hand, for no reason anyone should get distracted while gambling money on a crash game. That would lead to almost guaranteed frustration. A few seconds in a crash game could be the difference between a total loss of the wager and a X2 at minimum. Not even mentioning the possibility of x100 or higher.

Yes, this incident arose naturally because of that person's loss. When after losing a large amount he felt somewhat embarrassed. He could not control himself and took out his anger against the casino because he lost a big amount ($58,000) at that paltform. I'm sure the way he got addicted to betting he would have continued his betting if the alarm work correctly. This is only an expression of his anger after his loss. He just consider it as a way to relieve himself. Many gamblers do this by trying to control themselves by blaming others when they lose excessively.

Precisely as I just commented in another thread, it is a desperate attempt made by some problem gamblers after realising that they have lost too much. An attempt, usually in vain, to regain what they have lost. The problem they often have is that they get into an emotional state, a gambling binge, where they act impulsively, gambling more and more, until they lose everything and have nothing left to gamble. It is only afterwards, when they return to a rational state and realise what they have done that they do these things.

yep, that's right. in an angry situation a gambler will vent his emotions on anyone who he thinks can understand his defeat like a friend who becomes an angry victim of a gambling loss and that is just naturally unintentional and I'm sure his friend doesn't take that anger seriously because it's only natural that if gambling loses it will definitely anger venting on others.
I myself have experienced problems like that and I tend to blame the casino when I lose a few days without winning but it's only for a moment and after a few days I still come back to the casino to keep gambling to entertain myself.
sometimes someone who can't limit betting is the wrong condition that causes it to be difficult for himself and blames other people.

It's understandable to be emotional when we face losses while those who can't control their emotions tend to blame the casino or someone to relieve the pain. But after composing himself that's when he'll realize that it happened because of his own decision and no one is to blame other than himself.

Hence, before starting to gamble, ask yourself if you can handle the losses. Because gambling is not the answer if your main goal is to win huge. If that's your main desire and not to have fun, don't gamble because playing with high expectation can lead to disappointment if what you expected didn't happen.

It's not really that kind of bad anger. It just happen for short possible of time. Because gamblers cannot be angry with others. Especially they are always busy with their gambling. But sometimes when they feel a little too embarrassed at a big loss, they can blame others. But the interesting thing is that other people who are present at that moment also realize it. Although a gambler should not engage in such behavior, it should be considered normal if it occurs in some cases.

[Zackgeno96]

Usually as a gambler you are angry with a certain player or team, at least if you lost the bet because they did not score well. Actually, you can only blame 1 person and that is yourself, since you are gambling yourself. But at that moment you can't think straight and you only think about winning. It goes wrong because gamblers see their gambling as work, not gambling. But some gamblers also become aggressive in their behavior if they have lost a large sum of money but have angry outbursts as a result.

Of course, losing makes us irritable and upset, but why look for someone to blame if you initially understand the risks and take them on yourself?

As far as I know guilt has a very negative effect on a person's self-esteem and can lead to even more serious consequences later on, so it is quite possible that a person always tries to find someone to blame on the side even when he understands that he himself is at fault.

I think in this case a lot of people have experienced it, and I myself have done it when I used to play gambling with my friends and I was interested in gambling the card, then I lost several times until the money in my pocket was gone because at Use to pay for defeat, then with ambitions to win and lose then lose money makes me quite aggressive and accuse people around me committing cheating on the game and asking my friend to return my money until we fight.
I did do I do it, and yes I should have been blamed by myself because it continues without stopping gambling and I lose all money.

People don't want to think about the negative consequences of gambling, they want to think about the good feeling and the euphoria that is experienced when they have won another bet and the bank account has just increased again. But those are things that don't always go well, of course. I also don't know exactly how gamblers deal with big losses, some will become depressed and don't want to make this known to the outside world, for example. Gamblers all deal with losses in their own way.
