Do you blame someone for your gambling losses?

[junder]

In my opinion, we should do self-introspection or correct ourselves about what has happened, if we lose a lot of money in gambling, it is on our own control, even if we follow the advice of friends, I think it is based on our own control as well. following the advice of our friend as you said. and those of us who gamble do it because of ourselves, not because of other people's coercion, because other people or even the casino does not have the element of coercion.
We are the ones who do it ourselves, all the losses that occur are because we do it ourselves, not other people, don't try to throw stones and hide your hands, it's better to admit and correct yourself, if you really want to gamble, please be able to accept the risks that will occur in gambling. including the loss of money which is called a loss, even though we are gambling with real money it is unethical to blame other people as compensation for the losses we get.

We enter this arena by choice, not coercion. It's our choice. The blame game? There's no point in doing it. We gamble, pay the price. Just that simple. Thinking about it, gambling is a combination of excitement and danger. This is a personal choice. Losses are common, therefore blaming others is unethical and misguided. We gamble and own results.

One must be self-aware in order to succeed in the gambling business. I believe we must acknowledge our actions and choices. This goes beyond money to understanding our motives and constraints. Let's gamble without risking reality. The stakes? Personal as well as financial. Keep it in mind.

It's true, gambling is based on one's own actions, there is no element of coercion from anyone, after all, gambling is clearly likely to get a defeat which is certainly detrimental, and I think those who gamble should not think about let alone question the losses that have occurred. because it is a natural thing, the name of gambling is sure that there are losses that will occur, and this loss can be felt by all those who gamble without exception, because the chances of a big defeat become more dominating than the chances of a small victory.

someone who is used to gambling maybe he doesn't mind the loss,  but one day he has a friend who wants to know about gambling because all he knows is about winning, obviously he becomes curious about gambling, and maybe the person who is used to gambling tells him everything in gambling is also very sure he tells about the victory that is difficult to get  so in my opinion if someone is gambling and experiencing harmful things it is natural, but if they blame friends or other people for the losses they have received it is not natural. then it's better not to gamble.

that's the bad thing about gamblers who can't understand how gambling works and how to use gambling appropriately without overdoing it which causes themselves to become uncontrollably emotional and only blame other people when they lose while other people have given the best advice and some friends usually also give advice for dont really chase losses in gambling but they just ignore any advice from other people without realizing that they themselves are bad gamblers who dont have good control but only think selfishly.

sometimes I just think what they think in their brains who gamble recklessly are given advice ignored but when they lose they blame whoever is nearby and this is a very stupid thing that irresponsible gamblers do and I also sometimes find people like this blaming his friend when he lost but I said to myself that he was a very stupid gambler who gambled with his own choice but involved other people in his loss.

If they continue gambling like that and still don't want to understand how gambling works, they will continue to gamble excessively and emotionally without being able to control themselves while gambling, and they will blame the people around them. They don't want to understand that it is their own fault, and they must change their behavior before others can't accept it. If another person cannot accept it, he can fight with that person, and there will be other people who will support him and defend him because that person is innocent. On the other hand, the gambler will be blamed because he cannot control his gambling behavior.

Well, that's how they are. They want to avoid hearing advice from other people that is useful for them. They don't want to see that the advice is actually for their good and try to open their minds so they can become responsible gamblers. Maybe people feel that the gambler has gone too far in gambling, and they don't want to see the gambler lose a lot even though these people are not responsible for the losses the gambler will suffer.

I tend to remain silent and regret my actions when I experience a big loss, because sometimes when gambling I get carried away by emotions and continue to make deposits, I never blame other people, it only tells about my own stupidity.

While your way of handling your losses in gambling is absolutely  fine and ideal, other people tend to have contrary measures of handling their gambling engagements. I've been opportuned to see gamblers who will always want to transfer the aggression that was brought upon them by their losses  in gambling to other people around them and that's absolutely childish if you ask me.  Gambling is one engagement that is solely meant for adults that have a mind of their own and that's why it's advisable for people not to engage in gambling if they can't  control the effects of losing in it

There are platforms who gives out gambling codes to the public to use and gamble and a lot of people are good in using those codes to gamble and immediately blames these platforms when they're their money which I think is not expected from a gambler because those codes are purely people's predictions about games and there's no guarantee that it'll play our the way it was predicted.

Well in the world there are many people who have Different ways of managing their emotions , Anger control and Everything that has to do with this , it is difficult because for some it is very easy to know how to behave in Front of a group , but for Others it is not like that, things They usually go another way and it can be evident that they will always do things that go against the best they can have, in this case we can emphasize that things are very Obvious when doing any type of Activity , if a Person is losing a lot During the game, it is Obvious that she will be a Little upset, but it must be understood that the Others are not doing Anything , you Cannot take out anger with People , it is something not worth it, and this will Undoubtedly have Consequences for the player , Because that is what is evident in Physical casinos, where there is no Guard for each person , the person is Aware of their Actions and it is Expected that only Adults enter Every casino, for that Reason it is that When we do Different ways of Game you should Control us.

Control is not Always Aimed at Making a good Management of the Balance that we are willing to lose, no , it is also due to the thing that we are Willing to Control in the game and after the game, we Always have to do the best so that We can have many things in Terms of actions, yes, it is possible to have an emotional reaction to Anger , but you can Also have a very Different reaction to a big victory, and this turn of Emotions can be very relevant When it comes to Establish any type of reaction , because if the person is very Excited , at most he can also beat up another person , and in a Possible case of not Controlling the emotions in an online casino , he is Wrong and bet a lot of Money on a Gambling Option , and to lose and Possibly Destroy whatever you are playing , be it a Phone , PC or Something like that , this has a lot to do with not being able to be Mentally Well.

[Mauser]

It happens because I have sometimes at the first year of my tertiary education, i spent and lost my school fees on the gambling and I came back home and falsefully explained to my parents that some anonymous criminals blocked us on the way to school and robbed all the passengers in the bus but though their intentions was to kidnap us all but due to the fact that they had already realized an appreciatable amount of valuables from everyone, they were able to let us go.

This thread reminded me of the past but I must admit that I was so irresponsible to myself and uncontrolable to my emotions at a depression period of time.
Sometimes you just have to formulate some sorts of lies if alternative could come in other to recover your losts or with the sense that you just want set yourself free from what people may say of you pertaining an intentional incidents that maybe laughable or bringing you a shame after you must have taunted yourself by your deeds .

Wow that's a though story, especially lying to your family about how you lost your tuition money. It's one thing to gamble with more money than we can afford to lose, and something completely different to lie to our family. I think at such a state we need to take a hard look at our gambling activities to see if we are not struggling and need to change something. At least for me it was important to always be honest with my friends and family, to not fall in the trap of having to build a house of lies. Usually one lie is not enough and it keeps building up until we will get caught or can't handle the pressure anymore. Life is already stressful enough and we shouldn't increase the burden on us. Losing is part of gambling and we should be owning up to it, the same as if we make a big win. To me it feels a bit like if we lie to someone else, it's not far from lying to ourself and that can lead to an addiction. We are responsible for our own actions and can't put the blame on someone else.

Success, failure, and everything in between are all part of the human experience, and the gambling environment reflects that. Gambling reflects our deepest emotions, which is intriguing to consider. Losses can frustrate, but wins can excite. The real art is navigating these emotional tides. What's remarkable about some gamblers' Zen-like calm, accepting wins and losses as equal?

Here, emotional agility is crucial. This notion goes beyond control to recognizing and adjusting to real-time emotional responses. Taking a break after a big success or setback can help us reflect. Self-reflection empowers. It improves gamblers' enjoyment and decision-making. Say a gambler is frustrated after a loss and takes a break to avoid hasty decisions. A winner who enjoys winning but remembers that each game is fresh. By mastering our emotions, gambling may be cognitively enriching, enjoyable, and rewarding

Yeah, the thing is that these actions don't occur overnight.

They start to happen after a long exposure to an addictive behavior. From the outside it might look extreme, but for the person inside, they only have changed a bit every day.

After a long time, that small negative daily change produces a vastly different person, capable of doing many things.

The same can be said in reverse, like going to the gym and lifting a bit more every day. After a year you are a different person capable of lifting way more than in the beginning.

People tend to forget that the act of gambling is a conscious and intentional one. You barely have anyone point a gun to your head to gamble, you consciously put your own money into your oen choice of game without no one telling you to. The question is, why would you blame someone who is entirely out of the gambling equation for the loss you incurred while gambling?

If anyone talked to you about his wins in gmabling, it is still within your power to toss his counsel into the bin and walk your part

        -  Yes, it's true that, as much as possible, let's be honest with what we say, because it's beautiful to hide nothing. It's just that most people can't avoid it, especially if you lose a large amount of money, because you know that others will be angry and think differently when they find out about it.

Of course, the response of the people around us will be negative when they find out that you have lost a large amount of money gambling. And it is not unlikely that you will be blamed for that incident, so gamblers are able to keep this incident a secret and keep it to themselves.

[2Pizza410000BTC]

How can two persons be so addicted to gambling that they'll go to such an extent? Apparently the mother is definitely not a good role model to the son. The son definitely needs a strong father figure which is what he lacks. 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.

Yes you are right here mother and son may have nothing in common between them. If mother and son had a good heart then maybe they would not be involved in such trouble. Also the son's father may not have been able to keep the son's mother under good control due to which his wife has become addicted to gambling. Here the boy definitely needs a worthy strong father. Here too I don't like their punishment because they gambled freely of their own will and lost.

from some of our conversations, is this a sign or is this gambler who often blames others a gambling addict? what do you think ?

because I think gamblers who are always angry when they lose and blame the people around them always ignore advice from other people and keep gambling after what they want as I said before, whereas the first signs of gambling addiction are they always ignore advice or have very poor self control and emotional which is uncontrollable and I had time to wonder whether a gambler who regrets and blames others is an early sign of addiction or whether he has already become addicted.

just try to imagine if they were an ordinary gambler without addiction, of course every loss was just normal for him and he never made very silly mistakes like blaming other people as described by the OP, but if the behavior is rude after this losing session, there is definitely something wrong with them his mindset and is definitely affected by things like addiction.

[|MINER|]

I will not blame anyone for my gambling losses but in this case is I will blame the mother for her irresponsibility. What I am know that gambling amount should be as much as one person can a afford to lose but in this case the seen is totally different. I think the mom will be responsible for the son. Addiction is very dangerous especially on gambling.

And the most common thing that gamblers mostly do is to point the finger at someone or at the system itself. They will not accept that mistake. So, either to hide it or to find someone to blame, I think this common reaction is normal as human behavior, but it's always better not to hide the truth and accept that failures to avoid having that kind of issue the way OP tell his story. Don't blame anyone as you place your bet freely, and you take that risk without anyone who's pushing you to do so.

Accept your defeats and re-try to assess and analyze the outcome. It will prevent you from going up that far and creating more problems instead of the money alone that you lose during your gambling session.

It would be weird to do so otherwise because it's your own volition that you got yourself into gambling just because someone introduced you to gambling doesn't mean they've got to take care of you not to get crazy and overboard with your gambling habits. Exactly, the irresponsibility of an individual is their own fault and it's weird but expected of those irresponsible individuals that they blame the people that introduce them to gambling, they're irresponsible after all and they lack self-awareness.

Maybe he was also a gambling addict who couldn't accept his losses. This can be seen from his attitude of blaming others when he loses.

Gamblers who get angry when they lose and blame those around them do not want to accept other people's advice that enough is enough and it is time to leave gambling. But they don't want to listen to it and instead continue gambling because they feel they can still win the gambling game. He doesn't have self-control if he says things like that because he also doesn't see that he has actually experienced a lot of losses and must immediately stop gambling. But he was unable to do so because there was such an urge to recover his losses that he could not even get his money back.

If they are ordinary gamblers, they may still be willing to listen to other people's advice to stop because they have experienced a losing streak. They don't want to make silly mistakes like other gamblers make because they care about their money. Perhaps they will return to the casino in a few days to gamble again. But they will not try to recover their losses or pursue their wins.

If anyone talked to you about his wins in gmabling, it is still within your power to toss his counsel into the bin and walk your part

The gambling that happens is clearly done consciously, it is not possible that they do it accidentally or unconsciously, even if there is a friend who insists that if they have a strong stance, maybe they will not be tempted by the invitation made by that friend, but we know that even without the invitation of friends or other people, a person can gamble deliberately and obviously in a conscious state, after that a clear loss will be obtained because the chance of winning is small rather than the chance of a big defeat that they will feel, so surely they will feel a lot of losses from gambling, and those losses are based on their own actions.
On what basis does a person who gambles and experiences losses continue to blame others for the losses he has already suffered?
are you like that?
many people gamble with their own actions, and they should accept their loss well there are some people who do not accept the defeat that is detrimental to them, making them more aggressive in gambling,  it can also have an impact on the people around them, such as one of them, offending other people for the losses he has already obtained even though it should not have happened, because it is not appropriate.

No one but yourself should be the one to blame if you got addicted in gambling.
The people around you are just there to guide you, but to alter lifestyle is all on you.
If you can't contain yourself in front of your games, better decide fast if you will traverse the gambling path or not.

There's no other than should really be blamed of other than on yourself on which you are the ones who would really be that need to be blamed but you. You dont have the rights on pointing out fingers
into others and telling that they are the ones who are responsible on the thing that you are experiencing. It is really just that there are people who are really that on extreme denial
whenever they are experiencing such unfortunate conditions. Blaming out someone wont really help a thing on which you do really just that make some excuse and would really be just that proceeding further on the things that you are really that been doing. There are ones who might have those own self realizations but there would be those people who do really love
on pointing fingers into others.

Gradual change, whether in addiction or self-improvement, is remarkable. It's like poker's methodical, persistent card dealing. We're given a new hand every day, and our tiny decisions (holding, folding, or raising) determine our course. In addictive habits, this progressive shift might be deceiving. We rarely understand how deep we're digging until it's too deep to crawl out. The stakes sneak up on us, and we end up at a high-stakes table with more to lose than we bargained for

In contrast, this idea transforms positively, like your gym analogy. Like a gambler learning to read tells and manage risks, lifting more each day builds physical and mental power. We learn to play the long game with patience and consistency. As in life, understanding when to push your limits and when to play it safe is key in gambling. Our progressive gym and card table enhancements show our adaptability. Life is a game of learning, adapting, and changing, playing our best to win

It's true, gambling is based on one's own actions, there is no element of coercion from anyone, after all, gambling is clearly likely to get a defeat which is certainly detrimental, and I think those who gamble should not think about let alone question the losses that have occurred. because it is a natural thing, the name of gambling is sure that there are losses that will occur, and this loss can be felt by all those who gamble without exception, because the chances of a big defeat become more dominating than the chances of a small victory.

someone who is used to gambling maybe he doesn't mind the loss,  but one day he has a friend who wants to know about gambling because all he knows is about winning, obviously he becomes curious about gambling, and maybe the person who is used to gambling tells him everything in gambling is also very sure he tells about the victory that is difficult to get  so in my opinion if someone is gambling and experiencing harmful things it is natural, but if they blame friends or other people for the losses they have received it is not natural. then it's better not to gamble.

People tend to forget that the act of gambling is a conscious and intentional one. You barely have anyone point a gun to your head to gamble, you consciously put your own money into your oen choice of game without no one telling you to. The question is, why would you blame someone who is entirely out of the gambling equation for the loss you incurred while gambling?

If anyone talked to you about his wins in gmabling, it is still within your power to toss his counsel into the bin and walk your part

Gambling is indeed a game of choice despite if your are being persuaded by anyone to join but if you are into gambling and incurring too many losses the best is just to quit or limit your gambling rate rather than putting blame on someone that introduced you into gambling, in every thing in life, it is your decision to choose either get involved or not that's why most gambling inscribed their gambling sites with ",play responsibly" as you are responsible for any action you choose to take.
