man up and stop blaming casinos

Not sure if this has been brought up before, but it crossed my mind so I’ll just throw it out here…

Have you ever been in a situation where you took a big loss. clearly because of your own mistake but instead of owning it, you ended up blaming the casino? Maybe made some excuses just to avoid feeling stupid?

This kind of mindset can mess with us. If we keep shifting the blame, we never really reflect on what we did wrong. We stay stuck, and the same cycle just repeats. So now I’m wondering anyone here willing to admit they’ve done that? Blamed the casino or the system for their loss, though deep down you knew it was on you?

If yes, I’d like to hear your story. How did you justify it to yourself at the time?

The reality is that once you've lost, there's always the urge to shift the blame to the next person which can be the casino or any third party. It's just a ways of trying to get oneselves out of the trauma of loss but in the real sense, such shift doesn't in any way bring back the amount you've lost. When I win, I always count it as loss and even before losing I always have it in mind that I can just lose the game at any point in time. That is one way that keeps me standing even when when I win or loose.

Gambling is 50/50 thing, it's either you win and gain or you lose and the casino gains. For the casino to remain in business, they normally should win more and because of the greed that gamblers always have, they always lose more but in the end, regardless who loses and regardless of the blame game it doesn't bring back lost money.

Are you really convinced it’s a 50/50 shot? Either way, that’s not what matters most, what counts is taking responsibility and knowing the risks we’re facing. If we own that, we’ll never find ourselves blaming the casino for our own mistakes. Nobody’s forcing us to play, so if we lose, that loss is on us.. unless the house is actually cheating, which almost never happens.

I lost big money in a week. Through the week I was lucky to win big, and by the weekend I lost everything and went beyond my limits. That's a massive loss, which I wasn't able to accept all of a sudden. By the time I know the mistake is completely mine, it happened because of my belief that somehow I can recover what has been lost. At the end I realized the truth that things won't happen according to our expectations. By the time I didn't blame the casino, I contacted the support team requesting help. Finally, the owner of the casino provided me with $300, as the loss was very huge, around $23,000.

Shifting the blame is a common method to defend one's own bad habits. To be honest with yourself if difficult and puts the mind in anxiety and hence the mind works like this to avoid the anxiety.

However most gamblers fail to correct this maladaptive nature of the human mind. Accept the loss and move on is the mature thing to do in any gambling situation. Never try to ease your ego or fall into the trap laid by someone else intended to harm your finances. Because there is no such thing as win in gambling if you dont stop.

 I have been in a situation where I took a big loss, but I don't always put the blame to the casino but myself for being greed. However, if we keep blaming the casino whenever we experience big loss definitely we won't stop risking big, since we think that the casino is the reason behind that. And for how long should we keep blaming the casino for that? If it's to use that as excuse just to avoid feeling stupid, honestly this doesn't make any sense to me, and it will look More stupid if we use that as an excuse instead of looking for a way to deal with it.

Only immature people would blame the casino on their losses encountered since we have choose to decide whatever things happened to us while playing.

Casino is just there offering such nice platform to people and people abuse their selves that's why they came unto that point which they lose a lot or what even more worse is they started to experience heavy addiction that's why they can't decide to quit whenever the situation started to go so bad on their side.

But if people is well discipline and know the consequences of their gambling activities for sure that they won't came to the point that they blame the casino.

Of course, and everyone must have, including yourself if you don't mind admitting it unless you are a professional gambler, even so I have also seen professional gamblers vent their stupidity to the casino. Basically the behavior of blaming the casino in gambling is common and unavoidable because a depressed mental situation can involve anything to blame. Like this, have you ever seen a gambler who after losing then gets angry at the closest person who is not at fault? Well, that's a simple description. It's a spontaneous reaction that is temporary because after the anger subsides the situation returns to normal.

I admit to having experienced something like this, at one time I got a winning streak on a local online site and I took the initiative to play on another site the first deposit failed the second failed and so on until the point the win was taken back I was quite emotional at that time and poured out my frustration on the site with the awareness that it was indeed a wrong action other causes because before I got that winning streak in the previous week I lost quite a lot on the site, because of this my emotions could not be controlled as usual. And I'm sure quite a lot of people have experienced incidents like this, admitting mistakes is not a prohibited action.

[Z-tight]

I have never been one to blame others for my own mistakes, but i have to admit that i have seen a lot of people do it, even on this forum. There are certain users who lose money to a casino fair and square, but you see them creating scam accusation threads about this or that consipracy, asking to get their money back. If you gamble with money you can afford to lose, you are not going to find yourself blaming the casino or regretting your gambling actions.

[Odohu]

Humans naturally love blaming others for their ordeals and it us only on few occasions we accept responsibility and never tend to shift the blame. In gambling, the same thing happens, sometimes one blame the casino, or the players or even the coach in sports betting. It's even worse for casino games like slots where the first thing that comes to mind is to question the integrity of the providers. These are normal and despite those tendencies, we still accept the losses and come back to gamble and hope for better luck.

[masulum]

I never blame anyone when I experience a big loss. I fully realize that all of this is the result of my own decisions and actions. Instead of blaming others, including the provider, I prefer to evaluate myself, maybe this is not the time for me to win big. I will try to realize that, when I try to chase losses in the hope of being able to cover them immediately, what happens is the opposite, we get carried away by emotions, lose control, and fall deeper. The mind becomes narrow, logic is replaced by desire, and unknowingly we enter a cycle of loss and win that continues to repeat itself.

For discussion in one thread maybe not but when the discussion is a little wide this has happened and I also often find that there are some of us who try to blame the other party including for the casino when we get a situation that we don't expect such as when losing and can't bear it all.

This happens because there are some in us who don't want to be blamed in some occasions when we know we are playing on our own will and when we lose then in the end we ourselves also bear it.
Blaming other parties including casinos would obviously be silly because after all we know that casinos are their place of business so it is quite natural when they get profits and we must be aware that our position is a player so this must be a consideration where the player will obviously lose when we are in gambling because it is a concept that although indirectly but this will happen sooner or later. Blaming others for the mess we make is cowardly and reflects that we still cannot take responsibility for ourselves.

Yeah right!
Casinos are just offering some nice games and they’re all fair and stuff like that,  until you dig deeper and see that some are offering RTPs below 80%, they withhold your money and do 1000 checks when you cash out and zero checks when you deposit, that they care so much about your health and addiction that they don’t enforce the self-exclusion list unless threatened with a lawsuit, and many more.

Let’s be honest here , how many times is your VIP host contacting you to offer a bonus if you deposit more, and how many times is he asking if you can afford the sums you play, or reminding you to only play what you can afford to lose and to take breaks when you do so?

It’s indeed not healthy to blame the casinos for all your losses, but portraying some of them that have turned into outright scams as angels just offering you a good time is ten times worse than that!

[Churchillvv]

If you're the type of people who usually refuse to own up their mistakes you will keep looking for excuses to blame casinos, choices etc but if you know what it means to stand up to your own mistakes you wouldn't complain or fix excuses on what isn't the problem why you lost. and it's very important for a man because if you do own up to your responsibility you will know you flaws and find a way to fix them but if you give an excuse you will end up repeating the pattern.

I have not find myself in such a situation where I start shifting blame on the casino knowing too well it was my mistake or just the usual coincidence of the gambling process. For someone that doesn't have any experience yet, they might always blame the casino but that's not the issue, the casino is designed to win and nothing can be done about it, anyone that can not bear to withstand the process should just stop gambling because they can only win based on luck.

[Gozie51]

I don't think I have blamed the casino for losing in a game. I don't have to do that. This is because before I go into playing and selecting my game, I already know that I should take responsibility for my actions and which is that I either lose or win. So making my mind up in that direction gives me that strong emotion and precision to take the best decision for myself. I know that I'm playing against an opponent or the casino and so I should be serious with it because my money is involved in it.

One major reason that some players turn back to blame casino is when they have overstaked and chase loses. Then you could hear something like there should have been limit to how many times you can bet or amount you can stake. Those are flimsy excuses that gamblers make because they have lost but they are happy when they win.

[Merit.s]

I haven't blamed the casino before for my lost but I have blamed my friends for my losses many times. I know that the casino has nothing to be blamed for only if it's a scam casino that their algorithm isn't provable fair.

I lost big one day, because my friend gave me a prediction to bet on and he told me that it's sure if I can use a big amount of money to bet on the game, that I will surely win big. Out of the eagerness to win big, I fell for it.

I doubt that players who understand how casinos work can blame anyone but themselves for losing. I will consider this from the point of view of betting, because it is closer to me. If I choose the bet myself, then I can only blame myself for my loss, maybe if my bet loses because of some player I will think about putting the blame for the loss on him, but the casino is definitely not to blame here. Maybe some players blame the casino when they lose in slots, I think that casinos are able to control probabilities, but this is also not true.

[Beparanf]

This happened to me many times in the past but for the record I play on shady casino that is now shutdown due to no players and lots of complaints.

My withdrawal was delayed too long that I become impatient. I blame them because they do have instant withdrawal feature as they advertised their casino before.

I learned my lesson by playing only on trusted casino.
