Do you blame someone for your gambling losses?

[Jody.Drummer]

Ah I have experience of this, about the soccer bet that my friend did. I forgot which teams were playing at the time but I remember he would bet on several teams playing at the same time. It wasn't just me at the time but the three of us, and he asked me and my other friend. When we were asked about one match and which team would win, at that time we had different views, I chose team A and my friend chose team B. My friend who made the bet became confused about which team he should bet on, in short he chose the team I chose, and lost. Lol
He didn't blame me for my recommendation, but it became a joke that eventually made the atmosphere full of laughter.

The thing is that,  no body has the right to blame anyone for the gambling loses this is because predictions are different from the outcome and for that,  no one can make an accurate prediction of the results of a match not even the referees or players on the field have that ability because football result are mostly unpredictable and that is why a gambler will have to rely on luck to make a win at whatever point.

So even though you made the selection of the teams and their scores for your friend and he bet on them and lost,  it doesn't have anything to do with you in whatever ways,  since for the sake of gambling all risks are to be checked personally,  it means you have to bear in mind that you can either lose or win it all depending on the luck of the individual.

That's the point. No one can really predict correctly in this case so regardless of whatever predictions we make at the end of the day gambling is still gambling because it only goes back to predictions not one hundred per cent will win.
My friend knows that so in this case he is also aware that every choice he makes in the end is based on his own decision not coercion from others (in this case me and my friend).
Even if it was me and my friend who did some predictions but still the final decision is of course on my friend who made a bet so that we lose then it will only be a joke for the three of us because this is really funny.

I also have a friend with whom we can discuss some events, this applies not only to gambling, we share opinions and forecasts, but each of us understands well that the final decision remains with each of us, because in the end each of us will risk their money. I will say that it is good when you can discuss something with a person you completely trust, this can lead to the right decisions.

This is actually pretty good! When you discuss ideas with your friends, whether related to gambling or any other events as you mentioned, it can be helpful for both friends to arrive at the right choice in the end. Additionally, I believe that discussions and sharing opinions about something can help you understand things you didn't know before which in turn help you in making the right decisions.

Like you might want to advise your friend to avoid certain online casinos that have been known to experience withdrawal issues or you could offer hints, tips, and strategies for specific games to improve the chances of winning.

The thing is that,  no body has the right to blame anyone for the gambling loses this is because predictions are different from the outcome and for that,  no one can make an accurate prediction of the results of a match not even the referees or players on the field have that ability because football result are mostly unpredictable and that is why a gambler will have to rely on luck to make a win at whatever point.

There are special cases where a gambler can blame someone for his losses,  that is when the system glitch and the gambler failed to make and early quit to his parlay bet and end up losing his supposed to be winnings.  This is rare but if this kind of unlucky event hits a gambler, I am sure the gambler will definitely blame the system and we will agree with it since it is really a system error.  Though I wonder if the casino will reimburse the gambler if this kind of situation happen.

So even though you made the selection of the teams and their scores for your friend and he bet on them and lost,  it doesn't have anything to do with you in whatever ways,  since for the sake of gambling all risks are to be checked personally,  it means you have to bear in mind that you can either lose or win it all depending on the luck of the individual.

That should be the case but I doubt our friend will ask us what to bet again giving the situation that all our suggestions are losses.  They won't blame us but I am sure they will avoid asking us about our idea on this kind of sports betting.

As strange as it may appear, gambling doesn't correspond to our intentions; the system was designed to keep us failing and recording liquidated accounts from losses. Gambling is not an easy undertaking; we suffer failure and loses when our forecast games go against our predictions, but some period, we gain massively from the system. It is apparent that we must stand up and eliminate the mindset or thought of blaming others for our gambling losses. Nobody knows what will happen in these games, so we just have a chance of gaining or losing, which I accept.

Yes, differences of opinion between us will be a very natural thing, but it's how we respond to it. As you said, discussing about anything is very important, especially it will make us know many things that we did not know before, and we will know what judgments are in the views of others, so that we will never impose our opinion that is the most correct about anything.

I admit that gambling does get a bad image, especially in my neighborhood. I don't want to impose justification here, but that doesn't mean that things that are considered bad, don't have positive messages or positive values in them, it depends on how we look for the positive things. Even things that are widely considered good will become something detrimental if we can't take advantage of them, don't you think?

Those who like to blame other people when the results of their gambling are not as expected, show that in fact they are not ready to engage in gambling, because as you said, gambling is not only about earning but also about being prepared to lose because the opportunities for both are the same, sometimes the chances of losing are even greater.
Maybe he can use the reason why he blames other people for feeling disadvantaged in his gambling, such as for following that person's advice even though everything the gambler does, including following other people's suggestions, is his responsibility because of course when he gets a different result his reaction will also be different, and if we have friends like that it would be better not to take him to gambling because he can only accept winning and that is the stupid attitude of a gambler, and it's not a pleasant thing to be around someone like that.

We have to eliminate the thought of blaming other people because it's not necessary. After all, every opportunity we get from gambling can change. After all, the gambling game cannot be predicted where it will go. We can only try it and leave the result at the end of the game, whether we will win or lose. And whatever result we get later, it has nothing to do with other people because we have decided to gamble. And even though our decisions are based on suggestions from other people, they are just suggestions and the final decision is still in our hands. We should be wiser in listening to other people's suggestions and weigh all the risks that could occur before we make a decision. If we think the suggestion has a risk, we don't need to use the suggestion either.

This is so on point.

Blaming others shouldn't be in someone's vocabulary if he really knows what exactly he is doing before he make the final decision and then the execution. No matter how enticing others offers or advices to you, you won't bulge especially if you know better. You won't let others affect your decision making because you know you can handle well given the circumstances. This is also to avoid having a bad blood with other people.

Now, if you want to take the risk and try to take others advices, then be sure to do not hold grudges the moment it won't turn out well or the way you expected it to. This is because the final say still lies on your hands. Therefore the consequences of it are also your responsibility.

As an adult you should be able to control your angry and not be behaving like someone who isn't wise or educated. You won't find educated people fighting on the street no matter what the issue is, they will take it indoor and behavior responsible by sorting out what the issue was.

Gambling is a personal decision and if you aren't making progress you don't have to blame others for it Instead you should ask yourself why you're losing and you'll see the mistakes that you're making then correct them and you might have a turnaround of luck and win your bets.

If you can't control your emotions then don't go to traditional casinos or sports bookers instead make use of the online ones. Atleast you won't have to interact with people to make you pour your frustrations on them meanwhile they didn't do anything wrong to you.

As an adult, we also need to know money management. Most gamblers tend to not acknowledge that due to their addiction, they face money management issues. That leads to arguments within the family and then it leads to a blame game. Who is to be blamed for the problem? It is the gambler but they generally take out their frustration on someone near to them. It is easy to say that you need to control emotion but money and the urge of winning makes it hard to control.

Agreed, those who are able to make money management properly will also be able to manage their gambling properly. Some gambler loses repeatedly, there may be some change in themself. They may suffer from depression. If they loses a bet, in some causes they try to blame someone else to reduce their human stress. However, not all gamblers have this nature. But one should never blame others for one's own faults. A gambler must have knowledge about this and should control their emotion.

Foolishness and the inability of someone to accept their fault could be responsible for shifting blame when no one pushes you to gamble. The solution to gambling rightly is to gamble responsibly, and that could be done through discipline and self-determination, nothing else. Fine, one could manage their gambling portfolio, but that's just an approach to gambling rightly, but addicts often abandon all that when they are losing, not even a reasonable calculation or advice can save them at that time.

Since this is a psychological issue that triggers the emotions of the gambler, it takes a psychological approach of being disciplined from within to tackle it.

Interestingly, one's inability to accept mistakes and reality is what usually looks for scapegoats to blame. usually it happens, in people who do not have the mind and mental maturity. This tendency always beats a healthy mind and even tends to be irrational.

In gambling, we are well aware that this entertainment involves money at stake. the risk is, we lose the bet. however, if in this defeat we often blame someone and even blame the casino. usually, the person experiences some disturbance within himself. although in some cases, mistakes can occur due to contributions and a friend. or, even mistakes made by the casino, assuming, casinos that don't have good credibility and reputation.
ideally gamble without involving other parties, and make gambling part of the entertainment only. if you are lucky, let's say you get a bonus. but if on the contrary, it means luck is not on our side. just make it entertainment, with the limitations we have. also, without having to involve other parties. thus, we avoid blaming others.

Court sentences mother, son to 7 years imprisonment and what did they do? Court sentences mother, son to 7 years imprisonment


The mother and the son after gambling away 5.6 million naira, that is about $8,000. When the reality dawned on them, they gave false information in petition, accusing someone of fraudulently transferring the fund from their Opay account to the sport betting account without their authorization.

Could this be a case of making someone pay for what they didn't eat or a case of double standard.

Bet as you can sustain and not allow your emotions have a better part of you.

Where they spent the money is almost irrelevant to the actual crime that they committed, which was dishonestly, theft and fraud. They could have spent that money buying thousands in gift cards, then turning around to claim that someone had stolen their card to buy it. I don't know what the banks are like in their country, but in some countries they might have actually been refunded with potentially a more detailed investigation taking place to determine the "culprits". The fact that they did it for gambling just shows how desperate and naive they were, probably thinking that they could make some big win - pay it back and keep the excess, but it's not a job and the majority of people will never profit from it.

Exactly as you said, you shouldn't blame anyone for your gambling activities! I mean, it's you who made the decision to gamble so you should stop blaming others when you lose. By doing that you might feel better and reduce your stress, but you'll probably make someone else upset and uncomfortable around you.

If you gamble and lose it's your responsibility. Why did you gamble in the first place? Why did you take that bet? Ask yourself those questions instead of directing blame towards the person who may have influenced your gambling choices.

In such sports games, even if you have a vast knowledge in that certain game or knows the players/teams will, you will still end up with the same chances where you have more chances of defeat compared to your winnings. In gambling world, all of these are normal and some said that if you cannot take it or accept it then gambling is not for you because nothing here is guaranteed even if you use your techniques or analyzes things carefully. It will be all the same in the end.

And before we follow other people's advice, we should be able to see what risks we will get and how to overcome the risks if they become big. That way, we don't have to blame other people because we have already discovered what risks we will face and how to overcome them. And if we don't want to follow someone else's advice or suggestions, we don't have to follow them and find a way that works for us.

Decision-making should not be hasty and only rely on other people's advice or suggestions, especially those that concern our lives. We are responsible for our lives, so we must find our own way. Besides, if we make a mistake based on other people's advice or suggestions, other people will not always immediately want to help find other suggestions because they must think it's their life to find their own way.

Discussing is good but only as long as the decisions are taken individually, never make the mistake of suggesting a decision because if your decision is taken and it doesn't fall in their favor, you will surely be blamed for that decision since you are the one who suggested them to make that decision. So the best thing is to simply discuss the facts and figures but make sure you let them know at the end of the discussion that the final decision is theirs and they should only choose a side if they feel it's going to win.

I've seen a lot of people who would blame the other person after they face a loss only because they said that the side that lost will win, even if they didn't tell them to follow their suggestion but they did it themselves and then when lost, they would start blaming the other person.

Yep, that's right. Because the focus is only on discussion and not telling each other to bet as long as the results of the discussion actually become lucky then it is something good but when the opposite happens (loss) then it does not become a division because we realize that things like this we already have each other's awareness that gambling is about ourselves and the finances we have.
This is possible and of course with this kind of thing our relationship with friends is also not disturbed, it becomes very close in any way and of course in this case we become more aware of each other's limits even though we often talk about gambling.

Same at the end it's a big risk with your money, whatever you think it is and how assure you are that you will going to win there's always
something on the other side that may happen along the way.

You are the one who's liable for every action that you take during your gambling. There's no one to be blame aside from
your own decision making.

If you lose, take it and accept the consequences. Same when you win. Treat yourself and enjoy your winnings.

[Slow death]

it is a great absurdity to keep blaming other people for our mistakes in gambling, I have noticed that most of the time when people lose money in gambling they tend to get very angry and when another person appears and tries to tell the person who lost and is angry that he needs to calm down, the person who lost part of it to verbal aggression and in other cases part to physical aggression, something unnecessary considering that the lost money does not come back so getting angry will not solve the problem

That's why it's always mandatory for people to gamble only with money they can afford to lose, to prevent people from getting into debt and depression when they lose at gambling and in other, much more serious cases, the person starts to feel guilty and commits suicide, and leaves more problems for relatives, for example he leaves a wife and children and that means that he destroyed a family because he didn't contain himself emotionally when he lost money in gambling, that's the worst scenario. I hope everyone plays with moderation and responsibility
