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?

We hear that from people who like to complain a lot, and they tend to complain about everything and blame everyone, I guess that is easier than to take responsibility. And we hear from them how gambling is a bad and useless activity, but they just took it too far and they got into problems because they couldn't control themselves and how they spend money on gambling, as you said.

You will never hear something like that from a responsible person. Responsible gamblers spend just what they can afford to lose, and in that way they never get into problems because of the gambling.

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.

I used to think like this, and blamed the casinos for why they held a lot of games that made me interested and spent a lot of money in the casino and made me addicted. But after a long time, I realized that everything that happened to my life was because of what I did, I see this from any aspect, including why I became a fool, why I did not develop like other people in life, because in fact I did not realize what I was doing and just followed my desires without any good control, yes especially in gambling, if we have good self-control, we will definitely gamble responsibly, if we don't want to overdo it in gambling then we need the boundaries that we create for ourselves. Only a fool blames outsiders if something goes wrong with him, when he himself did it in the first place.

It's always a normal reoccurrence for people to want to shift blames whenever they are faced with misfortune because they probably don't want to take responsibility for their involvement and their irresponsibility in some cases, some persons bring ruin upon their selves been irresponsible and yet try blaming not on something else.

Gambling itself is never and has never been a bad thing but people has made it look like it is meanwhile it has always been their attitude towards gambling they have cost them more problems most often, gambling was actually made for the sake of fun and entertainment but ever since most persons began to see it like a venture where they can make time of money because they happen to have seen someone who succeeded at such, it becomes a problem for them because they become greedy and invest much more than they should have which later leads to their ruin and they blame it on gambling meanwhile some other person's are gambling responsibly and making good out of same gambling that caused them ruin.

No matter how strong the invitation from friends or anyone who makes you gamble, as long as you don't listen to their invitations, you will never become an active gambler who finds it difficult to break the habit. There is no one to blame but yourself for financial decline due to gambling addiction, there are always choices that can make you better but you often ignore them due to uncontrollable desires. Every now and then you need to stand in front of the mirror and ask yourself, who is trying to destroy your life, gambling or your continued gambling actions.

People wouldn't like to admit their faults when they fail to do the right thing because they don't want to see themselves as been weak. People that blames gambling for ruining their lives, might still go back and gamble because they haven't realized their mistake.

I will blame them for being greedy and think that they can make profit from gambling. Instead of them to blame their greedy nature, they are busy blaming the game because greed has eaten up their bones and they were blind see that they will get ruined

It is in human nature to deny responsibilities for this that do not turn out fine and bring accolades. If you want to confirm this, watch children blame one another over things that went bad when they know there will be consequences. No one want to be responsible for bad things and everyone want to be seen as impeccable. Gamblers are not exempted from this because most careless gamblers will look for who to blame for their failure. Some blame the bookies, some their friends and family or just anyone they can.

The earlier one start taking responsibilities, the better because gambling is all about your decision. It is your money, so use it as you please and don't blame anyone for your mistake.

[moneystery]

it's true that the one who should be blamed first is the person who gambled, not the gambling thing. because if someone is responsible for himself, he should understand that if he is not good at managing his money and his time for gambling it can disrupt his life. but the problem is that many people prefer to blame something else rather than blaming themselves, even though it is clear that they were in the wrong in the first place, but they don't care about their own mistakes and are shameless in blaming gambling for making them like that.

[EluguHcman]

Briefly straight up by the OP. Gambling is an institution of its own and every individual is private to themselves so there is no necessity to blame what you internally engaged yourself on for excuse of ruining yourself on the cost of gambling.

How would anyone appreciate gambling when it favours him and castigates it when it goes contrarily to their wills?
Playing gambling is a choice, staying responsible to gambling is a choice and so as gambling irresponsibly is also a choice so, there is no considerations to cast blames on why one ruins its life of a gambling race.

Because it is the easiest thing to do. People find a peace of mind by blaming others. Because they don't want to be wrong. They don't want to admit that it is their fault and that's why they have become addicted to gambling which ruined their life. I have also suffered a same kind of situation in which I blame the gambling not my own actions.

Later on I realize that, it was me all along. My irresponsible behavior and my weak capability of controlling my emotions lead me to become addicted to gambling. Nothing is bad until you use it for a bad purpose.

The main reason is that people wanted other people to see them in a a good image.  It is all about reputation wherein many people try to divert the shame/blame to others than being responsible and admitting that they did it themselves.  When it comes to failure and fault, people's basic action is to deny that they did it themselves and will try to look for an escape goat in order evade criticism and gather sympathy from the listener.

When people did the wrong thing, what they always try to do is in finding flimsy excuses for that wrong thing they did, in so doing, they try to make it appear that it wasn't there own fault, but instead being facilitated by something or someone close to them, your personal attitude in life is what will determined the kind of gambler that you be or become.

Even if someone did evil today, he knows about what he did was wrong but waiting for someone to tell and rebuke him for doing that, what had he not made a determination of not doing such in the first place, we most times don't accept the outcome of what we have done as being fully responsible for them, instead we beat around the bush looking for a culprit for that.

[rachael9385]

Why would someone not know when he's going astray in gambling. However, gamble can not lead a gambler astray unless he or she didn't gamble with care or responsible as you said.
Gambling is not to be blamed for anything but the gambler who have over gambled should be the one to be hold responsible for his or her actions, and this blames is not for those that gambled responsible but for those that do not gambled responsible.
For me, I can not blame casino or and gambling company for anything that has to do with me becoming addicted but I can only blame them if they try not to let me withdraw my funds.

I would not pay attention to such people and do not waste my time on them, because there are quite a lot of them, and not only in the field of gambling. They are always looking for someone to blame for their mistakes, because they do not know how to admit their mistakes, analyze them, and consequently become better. In my environment there were two such people and over time I just stopped communicating with them, because I believe that you need to surround yourself with only strong people, not those who at every opportunity to make you guilty.

This is because many people see it as easy to put the blame on others than putting the blame on themselves. A similar situation is with a student who writes an exam, and when asked about the results replies saying "the lecturer failed me" instead of saying "I failed the exam" recognizing that it was due to their unpreparedness that they failed the exam. It would have been good for you to openly correct this person instead of only keeping it to yourself.

You can only correct people you know by their appearance and expression about an issue that if you share some words of advise and correction it would not end well between you two, the conversation might likely change another tune because they won't accept their fault. Its obvious in the way he was talking that there's no need. I just want to add this, not every person we see that we should be moved to give correction, at times silence will be the best move and however if you are moved to give corrective advise do well to know your limit and choice of words as not everyone is advisable.

Right! We must take personal responsibility for our actions, even with something as tempting as gambling.  However, the casinos and companies promoting gambling also have an ethical duty and  they should ensure their practices don't exploit folks prone to addiction or financial hardship.  

There's no denying gambling can be habit-forming, often unraveling lives in the process.  Still with care and conscience, the gaming industry could prioritize safe enjoyment over reckless profit.  If they took reasonable steps to curb predatory marketing and manipulate games to better favor the player, it would go a long way.

Overall, this is a nuanced issue.  Gamblers must own their choices but business should own theirs too.  Both sides meeting halfway could make the gaming world a little less dangerous for those susceptible to its thrills.  But it starts with each of us looking inward first.

Because it is the easiest thing to do. People find a peace of mind by blaming others. Because they don't want to be wrong. They don't want to admit that it is their fault and that's why they have become addicted to gambling which ruined their life.

There's this relief people get from shifting blames from themselves to other people,  event or situation. Accepting responsibility is like staining their personality. It gives them this feeling that they tried their best but the situation, person or thing was just so not good to them. It is because of this mindset that is why they keep making same mistake over and over again without taking out time to look at the actual cause of the issue.

Gambling is not as bad as many people who abuse it  paint it. Just like many other activities, Gambling is a healthy habit. It's benefits are so good if done responsibly. Many responsible gamblers will attest that it makes them logical thinkers, this is good for the mental health.  Aside that, it excites them and improves their mood. How can Gambling even be bad when it broadens the minds of the gamblers?
The problem is obviously not Gambling but the gamblers but the irresponsible ones will never admit it.

That someone is just saying that he hates drinking because it nearly ruined his life. We all have options if we will take these things in our life, blaming something that you did because you failed on achieving the thing that you want is just plain wrong. Gambling is a vice, it can bring joy, relaxation, madness and different emotion into a person but it all differs from person to person. Gambling will be a different experience to that someone if he is responsible person.

Most times this things happens subconsciously, people don't really know there are making mistakes till it ends their lives. some might be gambling to the extent of ruin his or her life with out knowing that they have gotten to the limit they will need someone to help them get themselves back.

The reason why people do see the fault in others rather than themselves is because the feel they are right in there actions and refuse to take responsibility for it. Gambling is vice versa it's either good to you or bad to you it depends on individual responsibility anyone who is responsible enough won't let gambling ruin his or her life.

Because a lot of people try to point at others for their own misconduct, nobody cajoled him to start playing gamble, so why the hate towards gambling. It is always said that gambling is for mature minds, just like you said OP, people should learn how to discipline their self when they are gambling, there should be money set aside for gambling and other contingencies as a person, don't put all your eggs in one basket and later blame gambling for your misfortune.
