The is always on gambling, never the individual.

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.

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?

Many people already consider gambling a bad thing to do, knowing that background gambling that it can ruin someone's life, people should have the trait of being responsible gamblers so it won't reach the part that it can ruin your life. I'm pointing out that before you start gambling you already know the risk of being involved with this kind of activity that without any limit and self-control it could be possible for you to get addicted. The thing is people don't want to worsen their situation when telling a story to anyone, they cannot point their finger at themselves as they don't want to lower their pride and dignity. Plus it is easier to blame someone or anything cause that person could help to ease up their feelings but it is still a lie which is much worse.

     -   Until now, most people have had a bad view of gambling, and you can't blame them because many lives have been ruined because of gambling when it wasn't used correctly. That's why some responsible gamblers always say to try to have self-control over our emotions and ourselves, and also don't let us as gamblers get into greediness as well.

Because after all, we can be bad and good at gambling, whether the method we use here is right or wrong. Let's not let gambling control us; instead, let's try to control the gambling we do when we enter casinos.

When we fail in life, we are always trying to find someone to put the blame on, we don’t want to hold ourselves responsible for the mistakes we make. When gambling, you have the right to stop gambling whenever you want. If you gamble with a small amount and decide to stop gambling, the casino house won’t force you to continue gambling, you are the one looking for money. That’s why you keep on gambling and you gamble with a large amount of money. Gambling sites never ask anyone to make their gambling site a source of income. When you make a mistake, you have to discover your mistake and correct yourself. Don’t blame others for your mistake.

[maydna]

I can't stop thinking about people who blame gambling even though gambling is a game that is meant to have fun, and only people who abuse it can't accept gambling and hate it. Someone abuses gambling because they are too careless in gambling, they don't think about the risk of losing, so they gamble without full control, causing an addiction that destroys their own life, and maybe this is why society views gambling badly, but because they see people who are irresponsible, careless and not discipline in gambling so that it influences people's minds to view gambling negatively.

I'm a gambler but when I lose money every time I gamble I don't hate gambling or get emotional with losing and I also don't think I've given up and don't do it again no I don't think like that, but because I realize that gambling is a game, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, so I can accept when I lose and don't blame or hate gambling because that's what gambling is.

This is a normal thing that some gamblers do when they lose at gambling. They will easily blame gambling for making them lose a lot of money without wanting to introspect the mistakes they have made. However, if they want to introspect themselves, the mistake is theirs, and they must realize it and try not to make the same mistake. They are too eager to win from gambling, so they don't pay attention to what they need to do to avoid losing. They really can't be responsible for their gambling activities, so they experience more losses than other people and don't want to realize it. And if they still make the same mistake another day, they will blame it on gambling again, as usual.

Those of us who gamble should be able to realize that we have to accept defeat sincerely and don't need to blame anyone, including gambling. We are responsible for ourselves, so we must realize that we have gambled excessively, and there must be corrections for our mistakes. By realizing these mistakes and being willing to learn from them, we can become wiser in using gambling.

With all the negative stereotypes gambling has gotten over the years,  many people still fall victim of gambling abuse. Experience they say is the best teacher but people will still not learn from either their own mistakes or other people's mistakes, the bottom line still remains that gambling is bad. Funny enough the gambling industry is growing everyday and thesame people who are tagging gambling bad are the ones promoting it both directly and indirectly. Maybe the gains from winning are just too sweet for them to overlook  .

Anyone who wants to be safe should have a rethink.  If you continue to gamble wrongly, casinos will continue to use you to enrich themselves why you continue with the blame game. With all the accusing fingers pointed at Gambling,  the casinos still have nothing to lose.

[Blowon]

I think gambling is difficult to control the emotions of some people, even like crazy people who lose their souls if they become addicts who don't know how to stop. I even saw some people robbing their parents of their money to gamble. I'm sure they are not well educated and make gambling a way or shortcut to getting rich so they forget how to work. I think there is no one we can blame if we lose in this game, accepting to play means accepting our losses and wins. we reserve the right to leave the person or disqualify the person who blames others in playing.

Nevertheless, these people are partially right. Not everyone is to blame for becoming addicted to casinos, it's just that these people turned out to be weak in their inner qualities. Can we blame them for this?
I think they rather need specialized help, but their desire to be cured will perfectly show the very essence of such problematic players.
Someone pretends to be addicted while working on it, but someone really wants to return life and their original state. The one that was at the time BEFORE the game.

[GigaBit]

There are countless people in gambling who manage to gamble but after losing they try to blame the gambling platform instead of blaming themselves. It is a low characteristic of most people. I want to say for that particular people since the gambling platform does not force them why they blame the gambling platform for their bad situation. Most of the time when the gamblers win the bet or get the jackpot it doesn't reflect on them but when they lose their money by over greedy betting then gambling becomes a big problem for them. A gambler is admissible if he takes such thoughtful and necessary decisions before gambling but when he has nothing else to do after losing everything, he is trying to blame.

Blaming the toaster for burned toast is easy but ineffective. I understand the rush. Gambling is like hot cuisine. A little adds flavor, but too much causes discomfort.

Like driving, you cant control traffic but can control your actions. Gambling requires knowing when to stop. Those losses? Feedback, not bad luck. "Hey, maybe rethink your strategy, or maybe its time for a break." Instead of blaming the game, reflection is needed.

I say gamble with your head, not over it. Set limitations, follow them, and remember its fun, not a full-time work. When it stops being fun, step back. It takes smarts, not luck. And learning from mistakes? Thats life advancement.

[dezoel]

It's not only about gambling, people often try to find ways to blame others for their mistakes if their mistakes either make them or someone else lose something or cause a negative consequence of any sort, and if they find the opportunity to do that, they don't let it go and do their best so that someone else or something else is blamed for what they did and they are proved innocent. I don't say that this is what everyone does, but many people tend to have such habits.

I hate people who don't have the guts to accept their mistakes and say that yes, it's our fault that they did a certain thing and we are sorry for it if it caused anyone something negative or they feel bad for themselves because they did that thing instead of making excuses or blaming someone else for that.

[darkangel11]

I agree. You should never blame the inanimate object, or a concept, but yourself. People who do that are in denial or completely broken and depressed and that's all they can think of, that they weren't aft fault but it's this devil that made them do it.
It's funny, but think of any addiction and you'll see that people do the same. It's not me, it's alcohol. It's not me, it's heroine that makes me do all these things.
The only advice I have to you if you're one of these people is: get a grip, own your life because you're not a puppet on a string. You are in control!

[Mr.suevie]

It's a habit that tend to playoff in most gamblers and I can say it's even a general thing in most person that are irresponsible in a general sense although most of them do this after losing major funds. If a gambler has the ability to set some principle that will guide him or her on his habit then he or she will find out that this gambling activities is actually fun and nothing to put blame on someone. The funny thing is that they don't tend to blame anyone if the results goes in favor of them but when it goes sideways then it becomes a problem.

[Dewi Aries]

Yes what the OP said is true and maybe I would also blame the person more than the gambling, because casinos created gambling just for leisure activities and not for something that should be done seriously, fun should be the main focus if you want to engage in gambling, understanding the basic concept of gambling about winning and losing will at least keep you a little awake from the wrong point of view and out of control actions. People say that gambling almost ruined their lives when in fact there are quite a few people out there (gamblers) who are doing just fine despite their involvement in gambling.

It is very clear that the main problem and cause is because they are unable to control their gambling activities, do not understand that gambling is a game of probability that has no certainty and guarantees that are only suggested to fill empty time when you are off work for example. And I'm sure the person the OP is referring to is one of those who is nothing but a victim of addiction due to having the wrong approach, so the point is if you want to gamble then first understand what gambling is, what the chances of winning are and how bad the risks are in gambling, if you don't want to lose money then it's better not to get involved.

The gambler who want the entertainment alone and doesn’t need any money returns will be the successful gambler.Because they can feel the gambling without any depression,the expectation will always hurt.We know this,the Men always know this.Because if he love the girl,she may reject his proposals.The same thing will happen in the marriage proposal of the men.The gambling was the third one in the row for the men.So the experienced gamblers will try to entertain themselves with the good entertainment.The wrong approach to the gambling by expecting the dollars as the return will leads to the loss in the gambling at the end.

[Mia Chloe]

It is usually a normal human nature for people to blame others or  something else for their misfortunes. Under many occasions people are advised to gamble responsibly but most times not everyone does this some persons who are gambling addicts can even go out of their way to take quick loan from people just to gamble which is wrong even if there is a chance of winning.

Sometimes gambling addiction is driven by greed but still gambling cannot be blamed for making someone go bankrupt but rather the  person. Besides people are the architect of most of their problems and not gambling.

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?

if someone experiences bad things that can be said to have ruined their life because of gambling, it is because of their own wrong actions, and not because of wrong gambling, people who have a good mindset towards gambling I think even though they are active in gambling but they don't experience anything bad especially with their lives being ruined, because they know the limits of gambling responsibly, if someone whose life is ruined and says that because gambling is wrong, it is because they themselves are wrong in responding to their gambling, because if If they don't gamble excessively, maybe their life won't be ruined. because I am sure that someone who is addicted to gambling and experiences their life being destroyed is also based on their own wrong actions towards gambling, it is not their gambling fault, because gambling is basically a paid game and it is normal for us to lose money in gambling because that is the rule. gambling was established to generate profits for the company, and if their lives are ruined it is because they forced themselves to make a profit in the wrong way.

There are many bad and negative points of view towards gambling because gambling has changed a lot of people's lives to ruin, but you need to know that the destruction occurred because of their own actions, their lives will not be ruined if they gamble wisely and don't overdo it.

[oktana]

To make you understand why, you may need to look at another instance. It’s like someone saying that cocaine nearly ruined their life. The point in that context is that the thing being spoken of is addictive. When you get addicted, you lose control, when you lose control, bad things start happening. He may be the one to play the gamble or in my example, consume the cocaine, however that addictive feeling that calls back is the problem. Additionally for gambling, greed also has a role to play because some people get lost in their greed and stake too much money.

The main key on here is that you should not make yourself that get addicted then you should really be just fine. The only thing here is that mistakes is something that would come through into those delusional motive and inputs on gambling on which on the time that you are anticipating on making yourself that getting rich through it then you would really be making yourself that desperate and on the time that you would desperate then you would really be spending money like a mad man on which you would really be gambling out as long you do have the money and as long you dont
able to reach out that goal or target that you do have in mind. There's no other that should really be getting blamed but only into yourself considering that you are the ones who do make
out such actions in the first place and not on other people.

Gamble as a hobby, not a way to get rich. We must prioritize experience before profit. We should be drawn to the excitement, unpredictability, and social component, not the prize. When we consider gambling as a surefire method to succeed financially, we risk illogical judgments and financial imprudence

Remember that gaming is risky by nature. The odds are usually against us, which adds to the excitement. Gambling becomes a problem when we chase losses or gamble above our means. Setting limits, understanding when to stop, and enjoying the ride are key. Gambling should be about fun, adrenaline, and socializing, not winning. We can enjoy gambling as entertaining, occasional entertainment when we follow these rules

Unfortunately this is something that not even quarter the number of gamblers do. Gamble as a hobby? No. The average person is in it for money… in fact desperately for money. This is just the truth. They gamble carelessly just because they want to solve all their life problems all at once. And I don’t think gambling should be about fun generally. You just shouldn’t be too invested in it. It shouldn’t be about fun because the outcome is unknown. What’s fun knowing that your money could be gone and gone forever? It’s fun when you win. But when you stake the money? You just have to be optimistic.

Gambling definitely plays a part in getting these people hooked until they get addicted, but I do agree with you, for the most part it all depends upon the person that's gambling. For example, we have people who have never gambled in their lives be so addicted to gambling from the get-go that it became their lifestyle, eventually shit hit the fan and now they are addicted to it with no signs or chances of recovery. But there are also newbloods who have never tried gambling but are so consistent with keeping their shit in check that you'd think they learnt how to gamble responsibly the hard way.

Gambling is inherently addicting, it's up to you if you would let yourself fall for this honeytrap and subject yourself to possible years if not decades of problems and gambling addiction, or if you're going to stand up to become a more responsible gambler version of yourself so you don't lose more than what you can afford to lose and end your sessions with a pretty intact bankroll, if not a net profit. I myself learned how to gamble responsibly and for the fun only after realizing that I'm slowly becoming addicted to gambling. I quit cold turkey and only came back when my mindset is solid and configured to only gambling when I am not overwhelmed with emotions that would affect my gambling behavior.

It's not an investment, it's a game, a gamble that can get you your money back, or you'll lose it, but consciously and know the risks.

As long as I play games at gambling, I just enjoy it as entertainment only, not using a lot of money because I know this will disappear.
When you ask what's fun when you'll find out that your money will be gone, it's like you bought cigarettes for you to smoke,
and you know it's just going to be useless smoke.

This is a pleasure that cannot be measured only from one point of view,
Everyone has their own pleasure and is willing to spend their money to achieve that pleasure.

In gambling when winning it is only a bonus and certainly will not always win.
Gambling in person is just a boredom busting game for me and not as a primary source of income,
so it's clear I don't put all my money into gambling.

[Yatsan]

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?

Defense mechanism, in particular with displacement. Due to frustrations, we tend to redirect our stress to an object and in this case, the man blames gambling, as an activity, which ruined his life but in reality, it is him who made those bets and it is him who engaged to gambling in the first place. But are they aware of it? Yes which is why they are displacing the stress to other things. Is it a bad thing? It depends; sometimes we need to accept our mistakes in order to learn from it and there are just times we need to displace the stress tooither object in order to move on and to free ourself from it, just depends on what type of an individual you are or what would work for you more.

Sometimes gambling addiction is driven by greed but still gambling cannot be blamed for making someone go bankrupt but rather the  person. Besides people are the architect of most of their problems and not gambling.

Gambling addiction is always driven by greed. You won't be obsessed of something if it is not too much and it happened that gambling involves money. What makes people obsessed with gambling is the idea of hitting the jackpot and getting rich in an instant. Although people are aware of the odds of winning, we still think in such way 'coz we are seeing people who are actually winning in gambling across different games; this gives an idea to gamblers that their 'time' would also come someday, however it won't be guaranteed no matter how long you are playing. You could win indeed but will not always be millions in an instant.
