The is always on gambling, never the individual.

Same, the action you take on everything is what will reshape what you will get in the end, gambling shouldn't be hurting or killing anyone, it's how you handle gambling that makes your life miserable, it's no ones fault, it's your fault.

People are very used to not taking responsibility, when you make a big mistake and you are able to accept that it's your fault, this is a big responsibility on it's own, such men should be respected, because there are many men that are actually women on the inside, I have never make a decision and blame someone else, unless the decisions wasn't mine.

Imagine such people starting to gamble, that's why we keep seeing people losing money and going out to steal from the neighborhood and they will blame gambling as the reason behind their stealing, some will even find people to put the losses on.

Why do people blame gamble for their own act of irresponsibility. No one is talking about their own part in their story of bad experience's with gambling, all we get to hear is gambling is bad and a useless activity. Why?

Because this statement appears based on the general view of society and is reinforced by evidence which always shows that people who gamble almost end up losing everything. Then another view like the one you expressed refers to the individual himself because he is unable to control his emotions and lacks financial management when gambling. In my opinion both views are equally correct based on their respective realms of thought and cannot be rejected. People have different views so that they can produce different statements about one condition. Don't be surprised because this is just a matter of the results of people's gambling activities in general.

The other day someone was talking about how he hates gambling as it nearly ruined his life, and within my mind I was like, no it was not gambling that nearly ruined you it was actually you that tried to ruin your life and that's because you refused to gamble responsibly and discipline yourself by not been capable of differentiating money meant for gambling from money meant for other projects in your life.

One thing about this issue is that no one ever knows that they are actually commiting an error by themselves until it's late. Gamblers are always found of blaming the game and the system where as the real cause is themselves, I could remember back then when the habit wanted to get a hold of me, it was by God grace and weeks and days of proper self discipline that actually saved me from becoming an addict and also my wife was also an instrumental figure that helped me from the crooked illness of mindless playing of gambling.

Sometimes, gamblers tend to point fingers at things like gambling when their life hits a rough patch. But it's not just about the dice or cards, it's about personal choices. Like, if you can't draw a line between money meant for a game and money meant for, say, bills, it's not the gamble's fault. It’s more about not being in control. People should own up to their part in the mess and not just tag gambling as the bad guy. It's all about responsibility and learning to keep things in check.

[slapper]

We often miss the complex relationship between personal responsibility and gambling. The individual's part is important; their decisions set the course. Gambling's meant to intrigue and confuse amusement and risk. This doesn't absolve the gambling industry, but acknowledges a dual responsibility. Mindset matters; knowing the narrow line between enjoyment and addiction is key. The balance between self-awareness and control requires ongoing vigilance

That gambling is primarily responsible is one-sided. However, can we blame anyone for falling into a well- camouflaged trap? The relationship we have with gambling, like many things in life, determines our experience. It requires a fair assessment of industry practices and human decisions. This is about promoting ethical gambling and industry operations, not blaming anyone. Empathy and awareness aid the mutual quest for understanding and responsibility

Why do people blame gamble for their own act of irresponsibility.

Let's compare it with smoking and the act remains same, we just blame the smoking not the individual who has the choice to refuse smoking the cigars but due to its addictive nature the gambling or smoking or whatever has also play in it but its only occurs when the individual let things go out of their hands, so from now on we have to call the individual who ruined their life not the gambling, not the smoking.

You can never blame anyone or anything for your carelessness because gambling is something that being done with principles and cautions. Most people lose whenever their losses is getting the best of them. To be honest is not actually easy to gamble responsibly you should understand if you are gambling there's some point you reach in gambling you lose it all such of negative emotions will start showing infect especially when the losses you made that time is too much. The truth is that don't blame anyone it takes time to be a responsible gambler and I will keep saying always gamble with cash you can risk.💯

That is being human, we blame everything except the thing that causes us misery, compulsive gamblers can blame everything and think it's ok, I've experienced getting blamed for calling a friend on the phone in the middle of his gambling section because he thought he could have won if I did not make a call.

So many gamblers justify casinos as a place to make money even though there is a lot of proof that it's not, for gamblers, gambling is their cash cow their medicine, and their entertainment, I even read that some people sacrifice their relationships for gambling, gambling has a hold on compulsive gamblers so you know that if a person favors gambling more, he is a compulsive gambler.

Someone who is faced with the desire to get rich quickly or make a lot of money in gambling or other places such as investments will do things that are unreasonable. They will do it blindly. Without strategy and reckless. This loss of control over oneself drives irrational actions that have bad consequences for oneself and even one's family. As OP said, it was purely his fault, not gambling or anything like that.

Only problem gamblers blame conditions other than themselves, and that's normal because when they believe that, they feel calmer. I used to do the same thing as other problem gamblers, until I finally realized for myself that the fault was actually mine.

BTW, talking about gambling, I was wondering if you're a gambler too? Because ideally you will have nothing to gain in this discussion if you're not an individual who's on the gambling side directly.

Gambling tempts an individual to spend money in exchange for the promise of doubling it and we are just human to get tempted, people have a lot of pride to blame themselves I have seen gamblers out of reason and do not care about people around them telling him that he is gambling too much.
This is the characteristic of compulsive gamblers, they do not listen, they blame gambling they blame everyone except themselves, I have encountered these kinds of people and I don't want to argue with these people they are annoying to argue.

I accept, if gambling ruined your life it's not gambling fault, it's your own fault, there are things you don't want to take huge risks on, and gambling is one of them, many people turned from grace to grass because they are introduced to gambling, you shouldn't always say yes to everything, just because people are making money from something doesn't mean it's meant for you too.

How many of you have noticed that following what people do don't always work out well in the end? Or is it just me? If I tried copying anyone I always fail miserably, things that always work well for me are always something I think about myself, and its always something people will see and will say it will never work out for me.

You are the master of your destiny, and I believe it can be change with your own decision, remember, religion hates gambling for some vital reasons, and that's because gambling easily destroys humans, meaning that even God knew how weak the mind of humans can be.

Gambling wasn't been a way to make money, so it's really wrong for someone to make money through gambling. It's really situational to earn some money through gambling, one of the example is when the casino offer good promotion, so you can't always make money from it because good promotion happen only for once or few times.

[ethereumhunter]

They should not blame gambling if they experience defeat because they cannot gamble responsibly. It was their own fault, and there is no need to blame it on gambling. If they could use gambling well, they would not experience ruin after they finished gambling. And no one will complain about having lost more money from gambling. They should be able to prevent experiencing big losses from gambling, but it is because of the greed that ultimately drives them to gamble longer, which results in them losing more money.

Playing gambling responsibly will give them the opportunity to avoid big mistakes that could ruin their lives. They will use gambling well and not lose much money or even experience ruin in their lives.

Truly said. Things like alcohol and gambling were present even before the concept of money or gods. And they have been an integral part of human society.
It's upto the individual if they enjoy the gambling responsibly or they let gambling ruin their life. There are daily thousand of things that could ruin your life if you used different than how they ought to be. It is a life lesson everyone should pass. You can't be a mature person unless you have relative control of your mind and it's you, not others that are in primary control.

I read one post in this forum sometime last year and the poster was lamenting that he calculated all he had spent on gambling for a year and he discovered that the money he lost could have started a good business for him. I was surprised that some people have lost opportunities that would have made them financially stable because of gambling. We must have a gambling plan because betting is not a source of income or an investment. Having more streams of income will even make gambling more entertaining because you will not depend on it as a source of revenue. This is why we should invest more in businesses, education or skills instead of on gambling.

Humans naturally don't like taking responsibility because it is easy to blame people or an activity for failures. However, I see people that don't take responsibility as immature. Nobody is forced to gamble which is why gambling is restricted to a certain age that is deemed mature enough to make independent decisions.

People are blaming gambling for their own act of irresposibility because they are being swallowed by their emotions. It is like blaming other people for the mistake you just did and it is unhealthy as a gambler. That kind of people don't really understand the true meaning of gambling. Maybe they are just so disperate for being unlucky. Or they are just too serious chasing loses instead of having fun of it.

At the end of the day, people will always look for something or someone to blame for their mistakes. They lack the necessary accountability as a consequence for the wrong actions and decision making they have done. They will try to pin it to someone in order to rationalize their wrong behaviour because that is the easier thing to do than to admit that they are wrong.

Unfortunately, even outside the gambling world, this happens more frequently than you think. People will always try to find ways to blame others for their mistakes, which is very disheartening and unfortunate to witness.

I just really hope that people would acknowledge their wrongdoings since this is the step in order to address the issue on hand. If they truly want to change their gambling addiction and habits, the first step always starts by acknowledging their wrong and moving forward on it.

Truly the OP made comment was fact I am also a gambler but I have a total self control and gamble responsibly, I never had a mindset of becoming rich through gambling because that is absolutely impossible by own perspective, I only gamble with small amount of money that I can afford to lose to avoid ruining my life and going bankrupt due to addiction therefore I agreed that any gambler that ruin their life and got bankrupted is their own doing and have to accept their mistakes and not blame someone else, even gambling with a strategy doesn't warrant doing so without taking caution and gambling recklessly, of course the consequences is very bad.

Personal decision is what matters when it comes gambling , and when people lacks discipline they put the blame on gamble as if gamble forced them to play beyond their limits. The problem people do have with gamble is that they abuse it by playing beyond their limits which makes them to be addict gambling.  It is important for people to learn how to be discipline when playing gambling, when their is no discipline it makes people to take wrong decisions that can be dangerous.

Lack of discipline has made people to risk much amount of money and it has become tradition for people to always invest in bitcoin because they lack the discipline to control their urge.
