Do you blame someone for your gambling losses?

[Betwrong]

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

I've read the article and realization of how hard it is to live for people without proper education is painful. Firstly, they shouldn't have risked $8,000 if they couldn't afford to lose it. Secondly, be they educated people they would know in advance that accusing someone of fraudulently transferring the funds from their account is a lost case. Absolutely. I will not be the first to say, by all means, get yourself educated, people. You'll save yourself from a lot of trouble, including reckless gambling.

[jrrsparkles]

We should not blame anyone for the loss that occurs during bets since it's something decided by an individual, not by another one who forces them to keep gambling and lose money that is actually needed for something else. If someone is forcing you to bet even against your will then its a crime and you won't actually blame them because you were compelled to obey the person for some reason.

If someone is forcing you to bet, then it's really valid to blame them but it's really up to you if you will follow them, right? but if we are talking about the person who introduced you to gambling, you don't have to blame them if you have any bad experience because they didn't force you to do that thing. Becoming addicted to gambling is your own decision so you only have yourself to blame for it.

We have been introduced to a lot of things but still, we only choose to do the things we like, which means we also enjoy being at that situation. Gambling is not wrong, anyone can gamble but one who gambles must know their financial tolerance level so that they can spend the right amount on the entertainment part. If they let their own emotions to take control of their actions then we are the only one to be blamed not the one who introduced to it.

Yeah, we still do things that we don't like to do but will make us better.

People still work out, and eat less, etc. All those things are worse for the present but better for the future.

Gambling feels good in the moment, but it is usually bad in the long term.

Sometimes many people learn gambling from friends. I think gambling on your own will lead to some problems and if you start gambling on the advice of others, you may face many problems. If you waste extra time in gambling.  If you want to gamble you can gradually get addicted to gambling. So I think it is best if you stay away from this game as much as you can and enjoy gambling during good weekdays.

Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? The simple answer is no

I play with my own money and then I loss of course Im not blame someone else unless I deposit and there is someone who hack my account and blow up entire account with huge losses.

but in you case

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.

The police should do more investigation and the court must make a wise decision and to be honest the mother and the son is made a big mistake when they gave false information and this gonna be a long trial

Right, I think these days most of the new gamblers who come in they start their involvement by learning about gambling from some of their friends who have already learned about gambling, I think whether you gamble because of your own will or on the advice and invitation of your friends still for the problem of possible adverse effects that will occur is the same, meaning that you still have the possibility to suffer adverse effects if you have the wrong approach to gambling, meaning that it cannot be denied that there will always be a possibility for you to end up with addiction.

On the other hand I have experienced a situation like this where one of my friends who has never gambled at all he asked me to teach gambling with easy adaptation steps such as how to deposit and make withdrawals along with how to play, honestly it is a confusing situation for me, logically if I don't teach it then there will be a bad impression in the sense that he will think that I don't have good solidarity in a friendship relationship until I don't want to teach him how to gamble. but on the other hand what I think is, first I am afraid that he will experience the bad effects of gambling even though on the other hand I give very good directions, and of course in the end it is very possible to end up blaming me when he experiences a downturn, But on the other hand what I think is, first I am afraid that he will experience the bad effects of gambling even though on the other hand I provide very good direction, and of course in the end it is very possible for him to end up blaming me when he experiences a downturn or defeat, even though basically he himself asked me to teach him but still "blaming me for the losses he experienced someday" is possible, and at that time I prefer to refuse and change the conversation to take his mind off gambling.

That is, if people can realize the impact of gambling so that they will try to stay away from gambling games and will not try to gamble. They know that once they try gambling, there is a possibility that they will return to gambling again and maybe even more often. And if they gamble on the advice of their friends, there is a possibility that they will blame their friends even though it is not purely their friends' fault but because they are curious about gambling. They don't want to think about what impact gambling has on them and only blame other people when they start to feel the impact and people like that will not be able to learn from their experiences because they will always blame other people without being willing to introspect themselves.

Blaming friends or relatives who introduced us to gambling is not appropriate. The real decision lies with those of us who are curious about gambling. because I'm sure that if we ourselves don't find out and are curious about the gambling carried out by relatives or friends, they won't tell us or even invite us to gamble.
I am sure that every beginner gambler knows the risks of the gambling they are going to do. they use their own money. and they play with their own minds and stakes. but when you lose, why should you blame others. it's part of the game, and there are winners and there are losers. all beginners in gambling certainly know that.
anyone who wants to invite other people or wants to introduce gambling to other people. Always be wise to ensure that there are big risks in gambling games.

Blaming people, maybe this will happen as an instant or reflex response when we lose in gambling, especially if we lose consecutively and experience quite large losses. However, we need to remember that blaming other people will not help us solve the problem at all. because the problem lies within ourselves. So it would be better if we stay focused on personal responsibility and take steps that help us to manage gambling behavior well.

And if there is someone who introduces us to gambling, then it is quite important to be able to communicate directly with them openly and seek support to overcome gambling problems, instead of blaming them directly. Giving personal responsibility and taking steps for positive change is more likely to provide constructive and concrete results. And if we still blame other people, when we discover a gambling problem, this shows that we are still childish and do not have maturity in gambling. "A person who still behaves like that, he is absolutely not suitable to be in gambling"

For sure, and like what you just said if they only realize the impact of gambling,  staying away will always be the first option to them, but most of the time that's not the case, those people who suffered from addiction always find ways to blame someone,  they always have excuses about their addiction,  though sometimes when a person realizes what's messing up with him he'll find ways to quit away.

Until the time you already accepting your mistakes then you will be able to wake up with this mess in your life, though if you are not willing to accept pointing the blame  will always be your option,  there's no changes that will happen to you.

Everyone who gambles learns from others, but it doesn't mean that if you lose, you'll blame the person who introduced you to it, because he just shows you how to bet a game; now it's up to you to forecast who to play based on your experience. Gambling is just a lucky game, if you have luck, you will earn from it, but some people will be betting anytime and not winning and they will not quit, they will say they need to get back their capital that they staked on it, which is not something that will be easy to get because it is a lucky game, no one can predict what will happen in a game, that is why you should not he addicted to it because you won't get time for your self to plan reasonable things that can generate you money. Is better if you stake a bet and you see you have lose you should just stop for while and give times not to be playing anytime.

Yes, I also believe that you have the right to blame your friend who forced you to gamble, but that cannot be the reason why you ended up in that situation. It's still your fault that you ended up in that situation, not your friend's, you have your own mind. We know that we have bad influence friends even I have them but I still know right and wrong so they don't lead me to their nonsense. Even if your friend introduced you to gambling, even if your friend forced you to gamble, you still have a choice and that's up to you. Because I believe that no matter how stupid your friend is, as long as you know right from wrong, you won't have any problems.

[Rampagoe004]

Yes I agree with what you said. We are adults. We are responsible for our own decisions. Any input and suggestions from outside are only as information for us to make decisions. And when you have made a decision, everything is at your risk. Just like when a friend tempts you to gamble and you become addicted, that is your own responsibility and fault. Unless you are able to prove it like your friend is forcing you and threatening you to gamble.

[MainIbem]

Yeah, we still do things that we don't like to do but will make us better.

People still work out, and eat less, etc. All those things are worse for the present but better for the future.

Gambling feels good in the moment, but it is usually bad in the long term.

Once can only feel good when he is on profits I know gambling to be something that doesn't make someone feels good ordinarily except such gambler is on profit making serious cashout when there's lost nobody would want to still gambling untill he succeeded with at least out 70 percent of his gambling time 30 percent should be more of winning then such person can say is good to gamble.

Besides why does people gamble first we usually say is for fun while people sees it as a means of doubling their income and when it doesn't work that they said is bad and reality we know gambling is bad but we must not expect winning all times.

self-responsability is a must, you are the main character of your life and you are responsible for your decisions and actions
no one else to blame

even when a friend enters our lives we are responsible for letting them, for ignoring some of the gut feelings and all
nobody can force us to gamble after all

That can indeed happen, because in my environment this happens too. When I gamble and a friend of mine sees me gambling, he pays attention to every round, and by being lucky I get a win, and indirectly this definitely makes my friend who sees the gambling I do interested. and with his curiosity he asked me to explain step by step how to do the same gambling as me.

but before that of course I reminded him and suggested not to try it, because what I was afraid of would be that he would become strongly addicted to gambling, up to now the one who often gambles is my friend rather than myself, this is what I don't want to happen, but it's good that he doesn't blamed me for the many losses he suffered while he was gambling. I myself don't want to be responsible for him being addicted to gambling, because I had previously warned him not to try it. and I hope not will not blame me for the gambling he has done.

[borovichok]

We have been introduced to a lot of things but still, we only choose to do the things we like, which means we also enjoy being in that situation.

Being an adult means being accountable for our actions. By this, no one can be blamed for our actions as we have grown to decipher what suits us or not. This is also related to gambling. People gamble because they want to gamble and not because they are lured to gamble.

Before I started gambling, I had a friend who was deeply into gambling and he has always tried to talk me into gambling because I am a sports lover. Most times when we discuss he throws up gambling discussions and even ask me about my opinion on certain games just to get my analysis and follow my prediction. Sometimes he wins and other times he loses. All his efforts to make me gamble were futile.

I gained an interest in gambling on my own when I felt that I could be making extra cash from it. In summary, nobody should blame another for losing in gambling because he wasn't forced to play under duress. Thus, every gambler should be accountable for his actions.

Yes, but I think it's more of a psychological and emotional behavior in their part that's why they tend to blame someone, and can't take their losses. But there could be also others to take their responsible for their losses.

Or it could be something that we call self-preservation. I mean it could mean that individuals will likely protect themselves, not just in gambling, but anything in life and not attributed the bad decisions they made to themselves.

Your statement contradicts itself. Initially, you mentioned that you think it's acceptable to hold your friend responsible for forcing you to bet, but then, you stated that it's still your own self is the one accountable for everything happen to yourself if ever you lose in gambling.

Even if someone pressures you to place a bet, if you don't agree with the decision, you won't end up in that situation. If you do agree, it means you let that person control your decision-making and ultimately gave in to their pressure. In this situation, you shouldn't blame your friend but rather take responsibility for your actions.

We follow our views, goals, and assessments, not external influences.

I've seen friends gamble too. Some jump in headfirst, drawn by the thrill and possible benefits, while others, like you, think strategically. Gambling reveals our values and decision-making processes, which is fascinating. Our individuality and self-discovery tale continues with each win or setback.

Your conclusion is correct: blaming others for gambling results denies our agency. Gamble for fun, profit, or the thrill of it - our choice. This awareness enhances our experience and promotes personal responsibility. We learn, adapt, and most importantly own our journey.
