stop the unnecessary blame on gambling whenever you get unlucky

[Youngkhngdiddy]

A lot of people have been clamoring about how gambling has ruined their life but same gambling has set some people up for life, just like every other form of investment there must always be a profit or a loss.  And life is so balanced that what works for Mr A might not be the same that works for Mr B. Likewise in gambling,  while some are crying about their loss they are some who are smiling and celebrating their win.
 Gambling has been seen as a very dangerous thing base on some people's point of view here in the forum whereas in reality it has given some people the capital to start what ever business they want to do. My point in this post is that we shouldn’t just paint gambling all black because some people have fail to stick to the discipline of gambling.
 I believe that before one make a decision in life, they should've already weighed the consequences of making the right or wrong choice, then put their fate on luck coupled with their little knowledge concerning what they're about to decide on, so why complain and play the blame game when things go wrong? "Share your thought on how gambling has come through for you if you got any".

In this case, gambling is “Schrödenger’s cat” - it is both bad and good at the same time. Gambling is, first and foremost, a game in which you enjoy the process. Some people make them their hobby, others their work (a means of earning money). But ludomania is already a very specific disease, a deviation. Condemnation of gambling and “imaginary” help for game addicts is the lot of hypocrites.

what works for Mr A might not be the same that works for Mr B.

This is where people do usually mess up on the time that they would really be trying out to mimic someone specially if they have been able to win up something big and on the time that mindset and emotion has been fixed on this way then it would really be creating out that kind of imaginary approach towards gambling on which they would really be trying it out to make it happen on the same way for themselves and this is why people do really end up on having that miserable lives because of those wrong assumptions on which they do really believe that they could really be able to get out safe.
If you are lucky then you might be able to achieve those things but if not then you would really be ending up on regretting.

Regrets are always at the end, this is why it would really be that important that you should really know on when to get in and when to get out on certain conditions
on which it would really be just that a normal thing.

First of all, gambling has nothing to do with investments. Gambling is a game, an expensive hobby, and like with many other hobbies, you have to keep your sanity and enjoy it in moderation. It is not all black, but not all white either.

If you want money to start your own business, you should work hard for it instead of only relying on luck. Maybe this way you learn something valuable in the meantime, and make some extra money to gamble without the pressure of having to win at all cost in order to get the fulfilling life you and your family deserve.

Instead of gamblers putting the blame on their selves they will go ahead giving it to the game they play, I hope they realized that the game doesn't play itself, we choose to play them and how to go about it, this has been a common practice that you will discover from many gamblers always finding reason to why they are losing while gambling, what is needed is to have fun and enjoy more about gambling.

I think this isn't so much a trait shared by gamblers as much as it is a trait shared by losers.  You seem the same things with investments.  People make a bad decision and then look for everyone else to blame but themselves.  I think some people just can't accept that things didn't turn out how they thought and in hindsight their decision was a bad one.  They'd rather believe they did everything right and everyone else did everything.  Not saying that's never the case, but for some individuals it seems they think that is always the case.

Gambling, to most, is a hobby. Hobbies by nature, should be enjoyable, they should be fun. The moment it stops being fun is when it becomes a problem and you probably need some time out.

The only person whose fault it is, if you lose enough money that it becomes a problem, is you.

With most addictions, the addict needs to take responsibility for their actions if they want to change. There is no point blaming anybody but yourself. All reputable casinos and sportsbooks do all they can to promote responsible gambling, you can set yourself limits. Ultimately, the punter is in control of their gambling habits.

It might be funny, but this topic seems like a continuation of another topic I earlier came across today, where the OP detailed on the title "If you don't take a risk, you will not win." It totally confirms that gambling is full of risk to lose money, so who dares to make unnecessary blame on gambling because they lose their bet? Do they not know that gambling is a game of luck where winning is uncertain?

By the way, I want to point out that gambling is never an investment, so it should not be treated as one, or even compared to being an investment.

Lastly, people who hate gambling will paint it black because, maybe their costume or religion forbids it. So, they will definitely paint it black and have a very point to convince others why gambling is not good. Yeah, people can paint it black and you will not do anything.

Thank you for also pointing this out. You beat me to it while I was typing.

When it comes to the "blame game" it's always easier to blame everything and anything else than accepting the blame on yourself. But that game ends once we grow up and take responsibility for our actions.

Gambling has been seen as a very dangerous thing...

And gambling can be a very dangerous thing for people who don't understand how easily they can lose everything they have. I mean, it's again about responsible gambling, but we know that some people are not responsible and for those people, gambling can be a very dangerous thing. As I said many times, it's all fun & games as long as we gamble with money we can afford to lose, but when people start playing with amounts they can't afford to lose the problems will start. The more they lose bigger the problems will be. In the end, they can blame anyone but the blame will be on them.

So the point of the story should be simple, play with the money you can afford to lose. Only like that you can relax and have fun while playing some of your favorite games.

There is no doubt that gambling has helped some people step up on the level of financial independence but that is a very small average of people and I believe those who have benefited that way are not addict gamblers, they are reasonable gamblers who got lucky and use betting profit to better their lives. However, the reason that majority of the response try to throw some guide on gambling is because what what they see, withness and even part of the majority that has been losing in gambling. It is normal if you are losing to let others understand that it is not a tea party to make it from gambling because there are gamblers who are expecting to make it through gambling and they need to hear the reality from participants who have also felt that way but unsuccessful.

Lack of discipline, bad upbringing, different cultures.... There are many reasons but it all boils down to one thing:

Well, it is all plain human nature, isn't it? We all seem to think that we are special, different and unique. But the truth is, that we react the very same way as every other human being. That is not a bad thing, either. The predictability of human nature just makes it easier to understand how gambling can make people irrational/angry.  But in the end, it all has to do with how you view the win or loss from your own perspective. And if you do not like the way that you (or someone else) acts, then there is always a way of dealing with it.

Gambling is a game, an expensive hobby, and like with many other hobbies.

A more precise way of looking at it is something like this. It is very common, even everyone who has a hobby always gets negative judgments from people who are not as frequent. As long as everyone's standards of taste and enjoyment are different, I think it is natural that there are those who judge gambling as something that is not worth continuing, while there are people who like gambling and continue to play it because personally they like the game.

Hobbies are not cheap, because many people are willing to exchange their money for pleasure that only they can experience.

Only a silly cannot accept the risks of decisions he has previously determined. Moreover, blaming the casino or other gamblers who win will only happen to gamblers who are unlucky. His emotions were in turmoil within moments.

well some gamblers are hypocrite and in denial to themselves. let us put it this way, in gambling, don't expect that you will go home as a winner because you already know the reality here - most of the time you will go home as a loser esp if you don't manage yourself to quit before you busted your bankroll.

if you make gambling as a hobby, then, for sure, you already know potential repercussions if you go beyond your limits. because the truth in this game is not a secret, a player is only pretending the reality of things if he thinks he can go home with bag of money afterwards.

The ratio of those who have got helped through gambling to set up themselves is relatively low compared to the numbers of those who have lost their money and becoming bankruptcy, this is what have been onnthe average and we have to accept that reality, and despite the fact that we can undermind that possibility but we still need to point out the obvious truth that the numbers of successful gamblers are less comparde to the problematic gamblers.

And all that is as a result of the outcome of theor gambling results and realities, so gambling shouldn't be taken as a way to financial freedom and we should only gamble because of the fact that we have some level of fun and staking only an amount we can afford to lose and be comfortable with so we don't have to blame the casino or gambling for whatever realities that weay face at some point in time when you feel you need to blame someone for the reality of things.

[livingfree]

I get that you get to compare gambling and investments because of losing and profiting. But many are also considering it the wrong way because of that comparison and whether we believe it or not, there are gamblers think that gambling is investing.

But the fact there is that it is becoming an investment when you invest to a bankroll and be with the casino that allows it and not actually the one who gambles and be against the casino.

Going on with blaming, many times we've seen that a lot have lost and they have no one to blame but the casino for any reason that they can invent. But it all sums up that it's their problem, they have a gambling problem and they shouldn't resonate to anyone to blame for their losses but only themselves.

Exactly! , honestly, the idea of gambling or gambling games is not to blame or to treat as bad hubbies because the people are the ones who put money into gambling, and at first gamblers only know how risky and dangerous gambling is but still proceed on doing so. The ones that should be blamed by those gamblers are themselves, no other than them, because they are the ones that make the decision; they are the ones that can't control themselves from gambling too much if they're unlucky, and they know that they should already stop but instead still continue until there is no more money left, and then proceed with blaming that luck is not favouring them. Yes, now a days gambling is being treated as bad deeds, but they don't see that the one who is bad or the cause of misfortune is themselves also, those blamers are  not thinking logically.

[MainIbem]

The main reason why people crying over every little lost in gambling is because they have centered themselves to make profits from gambling but without knowing that it doesn't work that way, at first the must have this mindset that is just a game without rewards and if they have this in their minds it would be more better than put their whole lives out there thinking the very moment they steps into gambling their whole story would change overnight that's why we see people easily got addicted at the process of constantly betting it turns into addiction whereby they would have to channel their blames on gambling how it has damaged their life's.

What always come to my mind whenever i see this kind of topic it the possibility of having a gambler who blames the casino for they loses, because most of the time, their blames always go to a friend or individual who give them the bet if that be the reality of the case, but if not then they can also transfer the blame to other family members, because when it becomes so obviously unbearable for them, and the dont have the courage to accept that their have themselves to blame then the blame games set in for them and at that point the tend to shift it to someone else.


But gambling should be done with almost description since at some level, it only take the individual to gamble and come out with whatever outcome.

  I am aware that gambling is just a mere speculation of event and nothing is certain but then same thing applies to investing, the level of uncertainty in investing is inevitable and cannot be overlooked, just like any investment gambling involves profit and loss, it might not be an investment plan for the bettor but it definitely is for the casinos and online gambling site owners. So you can see how similar they all are. The context of the post is not to make people rely on gambling after all we all know that gambling is mainly for the fun and shouldn’t be used as a major source of income.
   Being a source of income for the casino owners makes it an investment for that person. Also it is not new that gambling as really help a lot of people to gather up capital to start a new business for themselves, with right strategy and discipline anybody can achieve success in gambling.  Gambling is a game of chance, and hence the theory of probability and chance calculations apply in full measure. Moreover, those who depend on gambling to either become rich or to make a livelihood are basically who are lazy and don't wish to work . Easy money makes one greedy also. I have seen several people lose everything after they won the first round..out of sheer greed to win more. Life has an element of luck in it, but is not totally based on luck.

Those are immature behaviour of people/gamblers who doesn't want to attest their responsibilities when gambling. These are same people who always regrets their moves and blaming others is their defense mechanism to make them feel good after gambling. This also happens when emotions controls your moves and decisions. In simple terms, these are behaviour of problematic gambler.
