Do you blame someone for your gambling losses?

[Crypt0Gore]

Yep it's insensible as if they are the cause of how you lose on your gambling session. I'm guessing that they are just steaming out the anger and frustrations they have inside to reduce the pain of losing such money but yeah it's not a right way of blowing steam on someone especially if they didn't do anything to cause the losses. It also just make the situation worst and I don't think that doing it is right at the first place. If you can't manage your loses, Asses yourself first on how did you end up on that point and reflect. Blaming other don't really do anything good.

One of the most common humans reactions is denial, whenever people receive some sort of bad news the very first thing they do is to deny that such a thing even happened, and it is not until they have no other choice but to accept the reality in front of them they finally decide to do it, the people described on the OP lost their money against the casino, but since this was not part of their plans they simply thought they could deny the reality and find a way to get their money back, and now they are realizing that doing such a thing can bring grave consequences to themselves.

Denial? It would have been better if someone they love died and they denial the fact that it happened, but going to a casino to gamble is pure intention, they knew what could possibly happen if they gamble, they must have heard a lot of stories about people losing life savings and properties to gambling, yet they put the blame on someone else? Will they wake the hell up if the person they put the blame on was nailed hard for something he didn't commit? I doubt they would, if the person they put the blame up decide to pay the money won't they accept the payment?

Pure wickedness 💯, it has nothing to do with receiving shocking news, this isn't a shocking news, they gamble with their hands and they will either win or lose, what's bad news here? They saw this coming, unfortunately for them they lose.

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.

You are not wrong but at the same time people hate math, so even if they had the best possible teacher they could get, there is no guarantee they will learn anything out of them, and that is because they do not really realize that math is everywhere and that it can be applied to a great variety of problems that have a very direct effect on their lives, so they try to avoid the responsibility for their actions by pointing their finger at someone else, but even if they deceived everyone else they cannot deceive themselves, since they know they are responsible for the losses they suffered when they gamble.

I don't think most people act logical when they decide about things in their lives. Humans are very irrational, emotional creatures. When we, humans, gamble we don't consider calculations as factor to our win - but instead we consider that day's mood. Or things we see that day as "call to fortune" (like birds, cats whatever). I wish people could become lot more rational to not blame others around them. I think people should also consider not let anyone affect their decision. You may ask a friend with gamble you plan but final decision should be yours, you know what I mean.

It's easy to deny something we don't want but based on the facts and evidence, they won't be able to do it even if they still don't want to admit it. But if they only blame other people for making them lose money from gambling, it's not purely the fault of their friends because that person could have avoided it by saying no to gambling and choosing to go home. But we have no power to refuse it, and we will even follow our friends to play gambling. And if they lose, they try to get their money, but the harder they try, the more money they will lose on the gambling table.

Exactly, there is no one to blame even the bookies. In gambling, we put our hope for luck, not something that is certain to get. If someone loses and blames other people, maybe he needs to change his mind in gambling. Because gambling is not someone else's will, but his own will. When he made a deposit, it was his decision. Even if there are people who ask him to gamble, the decision is made from his decision and not from the one who invited him. When we lose and lose everything, that needs to be a reason to stop if we can. But if not, make it time to rest and change our gambling style. Maybe we are doing wrong while betting.

There is no certainty in gambling to get profit, everything is pure luck and that is what they have to understand that luck will not come in succession where when someone is sure to lose, remembering that gambling is a game to be called fun.
Even if there is another will that forces him to play while he thinks negatively about gambling then he will not take that step, but many of us try to play once, hopefully there will be luck and that is where sometimes many people try many times until they make continuous deposits.
We must be prepared to take responsibility when gambling, whether we want to win or lose, it is a risk that must be taken.

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.

Ignorant and negligence taught them a life lesson and they thought they can revert back the lost money by just filing that someone else made the transfer from their account, but its too easy to find such kind of tricks with the help of banking and casino network.

About the context of the title you can't blame anyone for the loss you made, cause you did the action so it's fair you have to face the reaction as well.

Exactly, with the help of the technology, it's not hard to trace where the transactions came from and even you'll try to hide those important information, it will gonna reveal itself since there's a trace from the receiving ends and processors.

You can't hide that fact and it's not a wise thing to do, trying to blame someone with your mistake, you are the one who are in charge with such actions that you made, it's a sad fact but nothing to be blame but those persons itself who made these actions.

They have no way to go if that's proven to them because that's really they are. These are not going to change anything even if they keep making excuses such as this and such as that because it will never change the fact that they're the ones who have gambled and they've just losers trying to blame it to others and can't accept such defeats.

There blame game is nothing out of the ordinary, I mean a thief will always have a reason as to why he become a thief, and if he or she does not blame his actions on this parents, a family member or relative, he will blame it on the government, the economy and the bad situation of his or her country..

But the most important thing here remains the fact that who ever is to blame will not stop the law from taking its full course and justice served as it is rightly deserved.

They don't realize that. Whether they make reasons or point to others thinking that they'll be the one to catch the punishment, nothing will change. They can't stop what the law says and whatever is the punishment they must render time to pay for their actions.

Gamblers should think about responsible gambling so that every win and loss is an outcome that cannot be blamed on someone else. Losing and winning are certain things, but it is true that there are some problems that may arise at casinos because the network or system may not fully respond properly when the bettor throws his bet. I don't remember if there was such a case, but maybe you have heard of it in the past.

I see this as an attempt of 'escaping from reality' by the individual, in order to not face the consequences for his own acts. It's like he was creating a parallel reality where he has no faults for the bad things which happen on his life, so he doesn't feel bad with his conscience and life becomes more bearable... However, it's just an illusion. Only truth releases, and to face the consequences for our acts, which often involve to feel the pain for that, is a must towards the cure or total remission of the symptoms. On this matter, the self-control in gambling.

It will be the responsibility of each person when they decide they want to gamble, and even though it is an invitation from a friend, we can politely decline it, but we can accompany him to play. It would be better for us than to play, but later, if we lose, we will only blame them because they are the ones who asked us to play gambling. Maybe it would be even better if we played gambling alone in our room without anyone knowing, so we don't have to blame anyone. And yes, we can stop playing and not waste more money to gamble.

[retreat]

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.

Both the mother and son are fraudster because they just try to frame someone of stealing their money when they're the one wasting it. They should have just come out clean for gambling the money and losing all, but why will someone lose that amount.

Nigerian families don't make that much money due to the poor condition of their country's economy so why will someone gamble away millions. This people have to be punished severally so others can learn and not go around accusing people wrongly.
.
Gambling should be your personal decision and not to be influence by anyone so you shouldn't be blaming anybody for your losses. If you're still blaming people for your loses when you gamble then you need to stop gambling immediately.

Sometimes people don't know how to hide their mistakes and want to take advantage of the system, then in such a case it is evident that people only think about winning Anyway, and it is easier to blame a casino for their Naivety or maybe for doing things are very bad, this is a behavior that has no cavities in honor or loyalty, apart from wanting to cheat a casino and not accept their mistakes, that is something that is really Painful, if you did not want to lose money,then why risked it? I don't understand it,but that's how there are Geners in the world.

Accordingly the court has just done the right thing to send a caveat to other wayward gamblers from trying to push the consequences of their actions to some innocent person out there.

Just as it is with trading same goes for gambling, always gamble with an amount that you can let go so that the impact of your loss don't cause a thing on you. The only time I can blame anyone for my gambling losses is when I gambling to the discretion of someone with a gun point at my head, apart from that there's no excuse to blame anyone for a gamble loss.

It is human nature to blame others. It would be quite natural that in most cases, people are looking for scapegoats to be the victim being blamed. in this case, involving casinos and gambling. even so, overall I agree with what you say. not infrequently, someone's bad behavior comes out when circumstances are urgent. as told in this thread, mother and daughter are looking for their victims to blame for everything they have done. what is clear, actions like this cannot be justified in the end they get rewarded for what they have done by languishing in iron bars.

Really an action that is not appropriate for us to imitate, clearly a case like this is detrimental to itself. therefore, gamble according to what we can afford without harming other parties. blaming someone for a gambling loss, is not a commendable action. that's why awareness and responsibility are needed when we have this one hobby. because, gambling always involves risk and we gamblers must realize and understand it.

Well, the mother and her son probably understand this and that is the reason why they claimed that someone moved the funds from their account to a sports betting platform and gambled them away, this way, even if the transaction was initiated from their end, they claim they didn't do it themselves and are blaming someone else for it.

They probably tried to get their money back with such a tactic but as long as they can't prove it, their claims are useless since there will probably be no signs of their account getting compromised or hacked.

[Gallar]

What he did was really immature. It's clear that they have lost at gambling, but why because of their defeat they make accusations or fake news like that?
I think they lost twice, because they lost at gambling, plus they were fined and sentenced for 7 years, as a result of their actions that made accusations or fake news. In the world of gambling, they should be aware that there are not only wins, but there must also be defeats. When they lose at gambling, they shouldn't have to do something like that, because by doing something like that, they won't be able to get their money back.

And I also when betting or gambling, I consider it as entertainment, and see how far luck is in me. So when I experience a win or profit, of course I'm very happy. When you experience defeats and losses, there will definitely be a feeling of disappointment, but I like to think again, that I'm doing this just for entertainment and to see how far my luck has gone. After that my heart and mind returned to normal as usual. And there is no sense of revenge that enveloped me.

They could even be accused of falsifying their claims and in the end, if the court doesn't justify that, they can even get a sentence from the court. Blaming other people for our crimes is not a good idea because we will get punished for what we did to them. This should be a valuable lesson for all of us. We always try to take care of ourselves to avoid what the mother and son have done. If it has been reported to the court, all corroborating evidence will not be able to help him and in the end, we will get the sentence.
