The is always on gambling, never the individual.

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.

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?

Listen. This idea is one of the most interesting that I have come across here. Often people say that this job is destroying me or that my spouse is destroying me or something like that. In fact, if something bothers you or destroys you, then just leave that place. When people talk about a disease with which they can’t do anything, that’s a different matter, but I understand them perfectly well. But when a person says that gambling destroys him, this is not true. It is he who destroys himself, not gambling. 5/5 for this article

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.

You have expressed it very correctly, and that is exactly what happened. Adding just a little money can cause our losses to get bigger, especially if we add a large amount of money. That will increase the number of losses even greater.

But if you can control the gambling games you play and also know how much money you have to use, you won't experience too many losses. You can still enjoy gambling as entertainment because that is the purpose of gambling, so you don't gamble excessively. You will also know when to stop gambling after a while.

If you feel that you have been gambling too much, you should immediately take a break and taking leave for a few days or weeks is very feasible. That is what wise gamblers do who do not force themselves when gambling.

Reality is hard to accept.

And even when we're just losing, we don't want to take the gamble but who is gambling with our money? is it your friend, your relative or some random guy?

None of them but us.

It's just to accept the reality that within our hands, we've lost and became losers. But when we win and became profitable, who's going to take the credit? Definitely, ourselves.

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.

What do you mean by success? does it mean that they will get a lot of money from gambling so that they can become rich people? it doesn't make sense if the idea of success is brought to gambling, but on the other hand, I conclude that maybe the word success you mean is those who can maintain and control their gambling properly so that it stays fine and does not experience a large number of defeats. It is true that excessive expectations are usually the problem why gamblers are unable to accept the fact at the end of the session that they lost so that emotions dominate and finally chase defeat to return the money that has been lost without a specified time limit, simply put, excessive expectations will only make us feel disappointed at the end of the session.

Exactly, experienced gamblers will usually know what they should do, none other than because they already have a high number of hours in gambling so they can know what to do if the situation in gambling starts to go wrong such as taking a break and resuming tomorrow, and different from gamblers who are always focused on winning. instead of getting a win but the opposite happens they suffer the number of losses in the long run slowly.

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.

Well that is a Very Common case , it is Difficult for Human beings to Accept that they Made a Mistake, very few are the ones who will Accept such Blame, in fact things should always be like this, I have seen many Threads Dealing with this Issue , but in all of them there is always the subtopic of addiction, and that is something that usually Calls me the Attention because I know that in gold there are many people who are suffering from this, and it is Terrible , or I can Imagine how someone is like these at the moment they are not apsndo porn this Type of cporbelma that in fact has to treat it very quickly before it happens to maorpes us always have to consider something before Playing , that if we do not control ourselves it is inevitable that we add in the Addiction , the emotion , the impulse are the that make us talk About them , sometimes listening to people who say that Some Friends or People have been so lucky that they are able to play in the casino and win, but that from one moment to the next things went wrong and I try to recover the lost dienor.

It is very difficult to make money from a Casino that the person who has lost Returns it to the casino through the game, the only way is to make very big losses that force the casino to give what was invested and a little of Previous funds and that It's just that it's not very viable, because to do something like that you need a lot of luck and that's not common at all, but particularly if the person tries to do that scheme or this tactic, then the worst thing you can do is mess things up when you try to take decisions, is it when we decide, if it is yes, well, if not, considering so many things, we can think that every time a person enters a house, there is a strong potential for Being addicted ? N o, the people who are in a casino should have the greatest of all strength not to spend more than they should, there is the secret that many people have who are currently lost under this influence and are addicted.
