Who do you blame?

[ejikeme24]

I think that there should be no such thing as blaming someone for our losses , because we must be responsible for our actions, If we play in a casino and lose for whatever reason, it is our own fault, and no one else's.

I agree, blaming others for your own losses is a sign of irresponsibility...

This is true because any gambler who is with his right senses will never blame anyone for his or her lose, how can you possibly blame someone for losing when the person is not there with you when you were seriously making your prediction. Though sometimes you May be getting opinion  from people around you or friends more especially in offline gamble but you have every right to stick to the one that is suitable for you. And Yeah, that's how it is sometimes when making a prediction your friends may be bringing suggestions and sometimes you can get distracted this is why I don't team with friends when making prediction I don't like taking other people's prediction, though I can remembered taken my friends suggestions and it failed but I don't blame him for that because I know that gambling is just a game of luck.

We all have to be accountable on how we are gambling and not that we shift blame on others, gambling is more of a personal decision than shifting of the blame on other people, we should know this, that whatever happens in it, we are going to be more responsible for it, because its all about us and we should not allow for the others to take the full responsibility of what we are expected to be in charge for, also, we should not shift blame on anyone for any failure experienced in gambling.

Sometimes gamblers shift the blame for losing to others or the casino because they are frustrated which is normal but we must learn to own up to our mistakes snd decisions..gambling is something that's done out of your win free will, for the fact that no one is forcing you to do it simply means that you are responsible for the outcomes of your actions...this is common with beginners because they are not mentally mature yet

That's right, many novice gamblers are not able to control their emotions, so when they experience a loss of a certain amount they will blame the other party. It is nothing new that in this case, the bookie is the party most often blamed. I think that as time goes by, novice gamblers will be able to understand well how gambling works, and how they should control themselves when gambling. Usually novice gamblers have the perception that bookies will provide fair winnings that correspond to the amount of money they have spent.

Shift the blame to others is a very wrong way. This shouldn't happen, even for the beginners. I'm sure the beginners must understand the consequence when they decide to play gambling games. I agree that playing gambling games is basically our own intention. So, we must blame ourselves if we did mistakes such as losing huge money or addicted to the games. It is just strange that gamblers blame others because there is no element of compulsion to play the gambling games. Well, in my own opinion, everyone who wants to gamble, they must ensure that they are matured enough. That's why at least someone should be 18 years old to join gambling.

Blaming someone or the casino for your loss is a sign that you are been irresponsible.  You are suppose to be responsible for your choices at the casino or any other places, it helps you be better at whatever it is you are doing and help you learn the lesson you should  learn so that in the case of a subsequent time, you will be able  to do better than you have done at the first instance, when I suffer loses, I see it as an opportunity to learn and get a better strategy, I do no throw blame around because I do not de it to be necessary.

As long as you don’t understand how everything works, you will blame the casino, especially beginners who think that the casino can influence the games. But there is no point in blaming anyone, because if you decide to gamble, you must understand the probability of winning and, most importantly, that you can lose what you bet. After losing, you want to get back what you lost, but blaming someone makes no sense because it won’t help you recover what is already gone. You need to think about that before you even start playing.

[DiMarxist]

Sup, often gambling is blamed for making people part with their money, or casinos are blamed for existing, or government is blamed for allowing gambling in particular country, and along the lines.

Point being, just because there is gambling available, at the end of the day, it's individual's own choice that (s)he decided do it, and no one is to be blamed except oneself if something bad happens.

Do you take responsibility for your losses, or do you play blame game?

Yes we should actually do take responsibility for every loss of ours, because gambling is not a thing anyone can be forced into doing it. Tho  some game's don't go as expected or predicted taking football for example a very big team get beaten by a small team, which isn't supposed to be when that big team has over 70% chance of winning at the end of the day we will want to blame the game we played on but the truth is we it's our responsibility and nobody cause it's a won or loose game, one must definitely happen, that's why so many people see gambling as a game of luck. So blaming the government or even casino doesn't change the fact that you made the choice your and not forced into doing it. My advice for any new gambler have this in your mind you own your win and you also own your loss, so take responsibility it nobody choice but your choice.

It's not just a sign of being irresponsible, but it's also a sign that the person is not ready to be a gambler, because as a gambler you need to know that whateveryou gamble with should be considered lost and not to start thinking about who to blame if the game result is not in your favour. Every true gambler is aware that they are risking whatever they are gambling with and that they are solely responsible for whatever action they take and not to shift it to another person.

[Justbillywitt]

It's always like that, in fact sometimes players don't accept that they can have failures , or they feel ashamed, sorry, I don't know...

But why will a gambler only gamble with just the mindset of winning alone without making plans for failure? Gambling is never a one way thing, you win today and lose another day that's just part of the industry.  And someone who loses a bet shouldn't be ashamed, as there is nothing to be ashamed of, because I haven't seen any gambler who hasn't lost a bet, so feeling ashamed is not really ideal. I know that someone who just lost a bet do feel bad momentarily, but after that moment a gambler should pick himself up and try again next time.

Do you take responsibility for your losses, or do you play blame game?

It's individuals' choice but always remember that there are some people who lacks education and doesn't know the value of money. And obviously, they're the target of these gambling platforms even if you check some statistics, majority of those who lose money are people who are in the poor side while wealthy people and are financially literate are not the common victim of gambling platforms. These people who gambles are those who are hoping to have a life-changing win from gambling and that's the reason why they gamble. Making it more accessible attracts them to this "life-changing" dream of them so they will definitely try and of course, it's not hard to avoid.

As for us who are knowledgeable about gambling, of course it's on our decision if we will gamble, we blame ourselves.

Because in the end, it becomes a selfish way for some people to pretend that they are not guilty for what they have done, and this is actually the most cowardly way to avoid admitting the mistakes they have made.

Many gamblers do this because they cannot accept defeat but also do not want to be blamed or held responsible for their own mistakes, so they try to shift the blame to a third party, especially the website that manages the gambling.

In the end, if they realize that this is a foolish thing to do, they should try to admit that they made a mistake, but their ego seems to be much bigger than admitting the mistakes they have actually made.

The thing is, nothing surprises me anyone. So many people just don't have what it takes to handle certain things especially failure. If everybody's expectation to get a win is fulfilled, then the gambling industry will collapse in no time. I actually placed my betting on hold recently after experiencing consecutive losses. That is literally the best way i could help myself because i understood that betting is far beyond a 50/50 chance of winning. One problem that i have observed is that a large percentage of gamblers are into gambling with the wrong approach. They think it is a do or die affair, so they see the need to ponder on everything, including their losses.

Because of the most common human nature that we the human always take the positive things in the first for us, And if I say it roughly, there are more such people in this world who always think about positive sites but think less about negative sites. And this is more the case for those who are new to gambling, because in most cases they are influenced towards gambling mainly by watching positive news, in most cases they are inspired by seeing an influencer get the jackpot or seeing their friends and relatives win huge amounts and later they come to gambling with this hope and spend extra funds which they are not able to lose. And in the end there is nothing left but regret and blaming.

That's true, some people get so emotional and decide to play blame game over their actions, some would even be blaming gambling for their wrong choices, truth of the matter is that casinos and betting platforms don't force anyone to use their platforms for gambling and every gambler is responsible for their choices, it's not as if the casino makes decisions for anyone or tell people the options to pick when gambling therefore no one should blame them when they lose, moreover gamblers are even supposed to use their spare money to participate in it so if anyone does otherwise and end up losing, gambling or the casino's are not responsible for their actions, people should quit the blame game and learn to take responsibility of their own actions.

[Zoomic]

People who doesn't take responsibilities blame everything on people, there must be people to take blames for their shortcomings.
If an underage gambles, we blame the government for not setting and implementing laws against children gambling. We also blame the parents for not raising responsible children.

When adults get addicted, they blame their peer group, they blame the casino for designing addictive games and possibly blame their family for financial burden.

Ofcourse people will always have something to put the blame on because it is possible for something to be a reason why one became addicted to gambling to gambling but no one has an excuse to give because because their are people who found their self in the the same condition they never become addicted,  if these people can be discipline that means anyone can also be discipline to, so no excuse to give . Instead of looking for who to blame or what to blame it is just better to try to make a change and to to try t be responsible in gambling.

Another aspect we should look at this, which is although ironical is that not everyone who is an irresponsible gambler will acknowledge the fact that they bet irresponsibly. They might not know even if their relatives tell them that they over gamble, gamble irresponsibly or are addicts.
This is where the major problem lies. Someone who doesn't acknowledge that they gamble irresponsibly is a bigger problem. You will only be able solve a problem that is acknowledged to exist.

This is also applicable to addiction. The problem of some addicted gamblers is also their inability to acknowledge that they are addicted. It is the family and friends of the person that will be making futile efforts to solve it. Addiction will only be cured if the addicted acknowledges.

Yeah, well, that's the thing right, most people prefer to blame someone else. That's the easy way out.

The problem is that reality doesn't work like that.

If someone decides something, then it is their own choice, and their own responsibility.

You will be ready to lose when you play for some time and understand that everyone loses, there is no way around it. And in order not to blame anyone, play only with the money that you can afford to lose. No one forces you to gamble, it is your decision, so there is no point in blaming anyone. Gambling requires order, like any other business involving money, if you manage it chaotically, you will lose more than you earn.

I can't blame anyone else but me. Nobody forced me to play casino games or to bet money on sports.
I don't believe that a world in which casinos/bookmakers don't exist is possible in real life. Gambling exists since the beginning of the human civilization. Even when casinos/bookmakers are totally banned by the government, people would still find illegal ways to gamble. Blaming the casino/bookmaker just because you have lost money is immature. If you have reasons to believe that the casino/bookie scammed you, just find a good lawyer and try to prove your claims in court.  If you can't prove your claims, just accept your losses and move on. This is the only way to deal with misfortune.

In this case, nobody should be blamed for anything of these thing whether the government, parents, gambling platforms, or the stations or events promoting gambling casinos. Everyone that is into gambling should understand that this activity is not triggered by more of what we see but more of our interest to make money from betting.

This is more of interest and choice and not always determined by the gambling promotions we do see on the TV. The aspect of using little fund to earn big one is why we do see more gambling participants looking for every means to gamble and make money for themselves. Our decision to gamble often should not be disposed on the government or the gambling related promotion we often see around us.

Gambling is ultimately a personal choice and responsibility blaming casinos governments or ads doesnt change the fact that each person decides to place a bet people are attracted by the idea of turning small money into big wins and that interest comes from within more than from outside promotions sure ads and visibility play a role but the final decision is always with the individual.

Taking responsibility for losses is part of the process blaming others only creates excuses and avoids accountability anyone who chooses to gamble needs to understand the risks and accept both the gains and the losses as their own decisions the reality is gambling is built so the house always has the edge so without discipline and self control the chances of losing increase dramatically.

Instead of pointing fingers its better to focus on self awareness and managing impulses those who set limits and treat gambling as entertainment usually handle it in a healthier way while people chasing fast money often end up with regrets in the end no one is forced into gambling the decision rests on personal choice and mindset.
