Do you blame someone for your gambling losses?

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.

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.

Some could just simply move on and play again
Some would really be completely stopping on the time that their initial bets had been bust out
Some would really be just come and go as long they do have the funds.

Its not really that bad on considering on dealing up with gambling as long it would really be in controlled manner.You wouldnt really be that ending on being impulsive if you do
really make out those kind of self realizations about gambling and on the risks involved into it. People are really just missing out the main idea on what it is
and would really be just mainly thinking on making themselves getting rich despite of the reality of it. They do really just missed up the real point.

Blame your maths teacher if you want to blame anyone external to your own decisions.  If you learn maths and various dynamics like statistics and probability theory then you have a far better chance of comprehending risk vs reward on any game.  If you know when its a good pay off vs a risk not worth taking you are better off already and can steer to avoid losses not that there is ever any guarantee but I feel people better able to gauge their progress will do better in appreciating a good sequence of wins and when to quit with those gains.  Ultimately a person can or should only ever consider themselves as the captain of their own destiny but opinions vary.

It is a great answer, and yes, when they start to calculate, applying all kinds of mathematics, statistics, they will be able to realize that no one can be blamed for having gone wrong in a specific game and yes, the responsibility will always be the player and no one else, the possibility of a casino making a mistake, or having an error with a player, is very low, normally these things do not happen but it is within the possible things and that, as transparency is required, a casino must assume that he had the error and the player must be paid, although I have rarely seen something like this, it is very possible that it happens, I am not saying that always but yes.

People who don't want to think about the negative impacts of gambling will be easier to be depressed when they experience losses. Ideally, every gambler must learn the negative impacts that they probably get as a consequence of playing gambling. So, they won't be surprised when they get losses or lose money instantly. Unless people gamble for fun only, so it shouldn't be a serious problem whether they win or lose. However, whatever our goal in gambling, we must have good management of our funds to spend in gambling. Never out of control by spending huge money on gambling because we can't control our emotions to chase winning. We are better to limit our funds to spending daily or weekly, so kindly stop playing gambling when the funds are over. In this way, we won't get huge losses or spend money excessively.

Yeah, spot on.

The thing is that some people don't want to believe that gambling is probably not a great way to get rich.

They basically want to have hope that they will have a chance to be rich by gambling.

But in reality that is even more improbable than mining a block with a USB miner these days, which is already incredibly improbable. Yet, many people still solo mine with USB blocks.

Oh, isn't it fascinating how the shiny lights of the casino can hide the potentially gloomy alleyways of gambling's consequences? From the neurobiological standpoint, the rush of dopamine experienced during a win can eclipse the reality of a potential loss. Isn't it peculiar how our brains work?

Surely, you'd agree, there's an urgent need to emphasize responsible gambling habits. But here's an unconventional thought. How about we introduce a 'Gambling License', similar to a driver's license? Prior to entering the world of betting, each person would be required to undergo a series of courses and tests. They would learn about the psychological impacts of gambling, the statistical probabilities of winning and losing, and strategies for effective money management.

This license could expire and require renewal, thus ensuring ongoing education. If we can license people to handle cars, why not something potentially as dangerous, like gambling? A lot to chew on, isn't it?

I don't like the punishment or fine give  to them. It is not going to be in anyway effective. Their punishment could have been rehabilitation and community service.

I don't like the aspect of option of meagre fine aspunishment either. That is exactly my challenge on this crime that I can't get my head over with. Some punitive measures are just as good as not pronounced because they don't in any way measure with offenses. I have some issues with some legal system because I think a punishment is suppose to wade people off a certain crime, what is pecuniary fine of 150,000 (about $210) as option against a jail term of 7 years or a crime of squandering $8,000 do to prevent future perjurers in gambling crimes.

I agree with you that the fine should have been higher. The sentence of 7 years however, I don't understand the reasoning for it. I always thought that the monetary value was supposed to be somewhat equivalent to then sentence, ~$210 is far from near the equivalent of a 7 year sentence. I think a more appropriate option is to refund those effected in full (5.6 million naira) plus a fine, or a 1-3 year sentencing for each depending on each others level of involvement. This seems more accurate in my eyes.

Very nice thought regarding the issue. A person should gamble after well researched and realizing its risk. A gambler can win or defeat. So if someone lose in gambling, there is no basis for others to blame. A gambler must focus on his self -esteem, it is not a solution that is excited after the gambling defeat, rather it makes the gamble more heated. This type of behavior of a gambler can have a serious impact on the gambling.

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

Well, we live in a world with a lot of crazy people, some to the extent that they do things like this. A mother and her son gamble away a significant amount of money and then blame someone else for it, a gambler placing a huge amount of bets and losing a hell of a lot of money and then accusing the casino itself for that. I mean, it's crazy, isn't it?

Such people should be treated the way they deserve it, they should be punished for doing things like that so that others learn their lesson and don't stand up tomorrow trying to pull up something similar by getting inspired by these crazy role models.

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.

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.

Rightly said in gambling there will be wins and losses, here only blame is to be given to yourself. You have to learn to control yourself. Gambling is an addiction in which you will always be in a daze. Then when you get profit, you will say that the last time you play, when you lose everything while playing, then that last time will make you destitute and you will be cheated.

Yeah, it's a harsh reality, but it's the best way to move forward in life, by taking responsibility of your actions.

Also, it doesn't matter how bad things get, you can always create a good life afterwards, so no need to feel so bad anyway.

It would be a lesson learned, that's the whole point of having memory, to not repeat the same mistakes again in the present.

Yourself and no one else, the problem that may take place is the one that you created when you first start your gambling session, there's no one to be blame on every action that you take, especially when you lose a lot and you keep trying to recover your money and if you go deeper and you have more losses, you should be responsible for your actions.

Gambling issue can only be cured or can only be prevented but never be blamed by anyone else.

"You can always create a good life afterward" That's beautiful. Because most of gamblers they make gambling their life. You can only do change your life when you have full control of yourself and being accountable for your actions. It's not about who you are right now, it's a matter of what kind of person you want to be come and work for it.

Taking a loss or a win is a normal part of the game and it is something you cannot control. Let the outcome be in probabilities. The only thing that you can control is yourself. How can you regulate your gambling? When will you stop when you are already profitable? When will you stop when you already lost sum of money? When will you take breaks? After all we all gamble and aim to make money for time and freedom is it?

If a gambler can't control his emotions like this and won't accept losses and will blame them on others, then for sure that will have a huge impact on all of his plays because it tends to trigger him to play more because he thinks that because of that person, that's why he lose, so he will continue to play, which leads to more losses. The gambler should always not blame anyone, as in the first place he is the one placing the bet and it is his own money, so he has control over it.

This has a point.

If a gambler don't have a sense of responsibility towards his actions, then he must not gamble in the first place. It is a player's responsibility and task to ensure that he sets a healthy boundary for himself to avoid getting addicted in gambling. The same way, it is a player's task to double check the probability of his bets to analyze whether it will be a win on his end or an incoming loss to avoid unnecessary waste bets that could have been prevented. If a gambler do not do this and instead rashly act out on impulse to do what he wants or what he thinks best without assessing the situation, then later on blame his fault to other people, it just shows it's high time to reflect on his behavior. There's something wrong if you won't be able to control your emotions at the same time your actions.

If you will not take accountability over the losses that's really on you, you will not learn and eventually will get lost in the process of losing all over again because you are in denial.

There's always someone who have a very random character where you think it's impossible someone can think and act like that. We think it's always our responsible when we're use our money, but I believe there's someone who blame other people for his gambling losses, that's really a stupid person who don't have a brain.

We as a gambler can avoid to associate with such kind person, but the company need to fight those ridiculous person.

The gambler should always not blame anyone, as in the first place he is the one placing the bet and it is his own money, so he has control over it.

This is true not only for gambling, take the time to listen to people when they are talking about their problems and one thing you will notice is that they always use a passive voice when they encounter difficulties, it is as if they had no control over their life and the problems simply appeared out of nowhere, this is a psychological tactic people employ to not feel responsible for their actions, but regardless of their attempts to avoid their responsibilities everyone that is listening to them knows what is up and they know they are the responsible party for the problems they are facing.

I'm sure some gamblers who blame other people for their losses are caused by gamblers who bet using other people's predictions or follow other gamblers' betting methods.
This usually happens to those who don't have knowledge and experience in making predictions or strategies so they can only follow what other gamblers are doing.
Even though blaming others for defeat is not an ethical thing but it seems there are some who still do this kind of thing.
In fact, they know the risks in gambling, it's just that their minds are controlled by anger and emotion when they lose a bet using the predictions they follow.
I am surprised that some gamblers are like this because this can make gamblers unable to develop and think well.

This has a point.

It's possible that those gamblers who are pointing fingers to other people because they lost a game is due to the fact that they didn't have a solid knowledge about the game and asked for opinions or suggestions, then proceeded to take those without actually verifying it. Or perhaps, they did counterchecked and proceeded to bet on the prediction of other people anyways, however, they are bothered by their regrets and what could have been's if they just decided based on their own gut feeling or knowledge.

Regardless, I find these kind of people to be low because at the end of the day, the decision and act of execution is still on your very own hands. The moment you decide to do something, it is already your responsibility. Hence, you should take the accountability if something bad happened or something opposite occurred instead of the predicted outcome.

Gambling is not a team game like cricket or football where 11 players are playing and you get angry because one of them didn't play well and you lost the match because of him, but it's like a one-way street, it's only you and a single path in front of you, and it's totally up to you if you want to follow that path and go ahead or simply avoid it.

And if you decide to go ahead from that path, and when you face problems and consequences along the way, there is no one else to be blamed since you were standing alone at the beginning of that street and it was you who chose this path.

Good description no one push you when you start your way when you involve yourself into this industry, gambling is a choice that you take either you look at it as entertainment or money making venue, it's you who take the path whatever the outcome it's you that should be blame and no one else.

What happens here is after they suffer from that loss, they wanted to deny their involvement and they tried to point the problem to someone as they can't admit the mistake that they've done.

They are not willing to face the consequences, so they've tried to lure someone to escape, but it did not work
