Who do you blame?

[Frankolala]

Blaming others for your losses is a loser's mentality. As the OP stated, every decision is a gambler's own choice. It makes no sense to blame others for the risks you experience from an activity you chose to engage in.

Furthermore, there was no coercion or threat from anyone to engage in gambling or to risk your money, so clearly, if the question of who is to blame is your own actions, it's your own actions.

Exactly even when the game where given to you by someone else you choose to take it you where not force . So is on you , that’s why I see no reason for one to blame others for their loss in gambling . Beautiful is all about uncertainties and stuff so no one can actually tell or predict the outcome of gambling that’s why most folk usually say gambling is all about luck . Because it usually takes luck for one to win the system .

Every gambler have the right to make decisions, no one really need to force a gambler to place their bets even if they were given to them by someone. It's really a choice indeed. If my friend give me a booking code to try and I eventually did, but unfortunately I lost the bet. There is no point in ignoring the person and there's also no point to plain the person either. Gamble is for fun and sharing a bet with other gamblers is also art of the fun.

Of course, if you blame me for giving you a booking code that put you at loss, I wouldn't give you any booking code again because it shows that you are not a matured gambler. Blaming someone for your losses wouldn't bring them back because he didn't force you to bet on the game. You wanted to win and don't know how to go about it was why you listened to him so why not blame yourself for listening to him.

[Olatundespo]

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.

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.

In gambling, the mentality of accepting defeat and gambling according to the ability to lose is very important, when a gambler gambles with more money than he can afford, and when he loses, he cannot accept his loss, because he borrowed that money from someone, or gambled with the money of some important work of his, and for this reason he cannot accept his losses, and as a result he decides to gamble more to recover his lost money, and thus he falls into a cycle, from which he starts to become addicted, so in gambling, it is necessary to maintain discipline and only play with the money that he can afford to lose, and it is necessary to stop in time.

Gamblers cannot accept losing most of the time in the game, they always want to win. The mental preparation to continue gambling according to their ability is available to those gamblers who have a reasonable flow of funds. The mental pressure of gamblers to recover their money at all times is present as a result of which they continue to gamble regularly. One of the reasons for continuing to play regularly is that they have lost a considerable amount of money in the past. Maintaining and being patient in gambling is only possible when you can control yourself. To control yourself you have to keep a limited amount of money flow and set a limited time for playing.

I agree with you, taufik123. Having limits protects against all the negative impacts of gambling. Large losses can be avoided when a gambler sets limits, not only on money but also on the length of time spent playing. But unfortunately, this is easier said than done.

In reality it is, it is easy to say but when trying to play in gambling or betting it is difficult not to violate what has become a limit.
There are many people who forget what their goal is to play and how long the maximum time to play is, so they end up losing more money.

Little or many of no one has ever made that mistake, getting too carried away with gambling and not following every rule they made themselves.

As a gambler, I completely agree. It’s different when you’re actually in the situation, playing, compared to just talking or planning about it. Obviously, your emotions are different too. You’re still calm before you start, but that changes once you’re playing. When your emotions kick in, you don’t care about whatever plan you prepared once you hit your limit, especially during or after a red streak. Nah, it’s easier said than done to control your emotions in that situation.

Precisely! There are many factors that affects you when you are inside the situation things really hard compete against your ownself, just like you said it's really easy saying things when you are not in the situation but once you experience things i's your wise decision making and your readiness that may allow you to stay on what starategy or set up that you create, there's no room in pointing fingers to anyone aside from your own will, it's you who decided to gamble and it should be you that will handle things inside.

You wanted to win and don't know how to go about it was why you listened to him so why not blame yourself for listening to him.

I find it crazy if they blame us since after all we cannot control the result. Maybe better if this situation occur we should explain it to them so well that even if we give those codes to them there's still a chance that they might lose their bets. With these for sure their expectation would lower down and I think there's no situation like blaming us would gonna happen.

If they still blame us despite of those efforts we made I guess I will stop talking to them since they are so immature for doing those actions.

But if those situation to me I don't blame anyone since I am liable with each actions I made so hopefully other think the same way to avoid getting in trouble.

When wining alone has taken over the mindset of a gambler what do you expect, you should expecta gambler at this point to think that losing does not exist amayone or losing is no more part of gambling, some gambler refuse to accept the fact that losing is is associated to gambling, this is what makes them to feel as if something unusual has happen whenever they encounter loss in gambling, why will anyone even feel shamed of losing, was there any assurance of wining at first, lets get this thing straight, if there are gamblers that are ashamed of losing, that's to say that such gamblers should be ashamed of gambling itself, let's accapt what gambling is instead of having other mindset aside what gambling represent, this will help us a lot.

So, unfortunately, gambling is based on luck. i am not the best person to say this since i am not good at math, but i think it's important to understand that casinos don't randomly play losing games. They expect to make a profit, and so in my opinion, the payout percentage isn't exactly fair.

Of course, everyone is given common sense to think and make their own choices. If they agree to follow someone else's advice, for example, then the gambler is ultimately responsible.
However, if they become angry when the results don't match their expectations, it can be concluded that they are irresponsible gamblers who come only to win but are not prepared for the risks.

Therefore, it is crucial and mandatory for someone to first understand what and how gambling actually works. This approach applies to many other things we encounter in life, not just gambling.

Well you cannot  blame the casino completely at the same time because for them too they are out there to make profits and ofcourse the gamblers will have to loose a game for them to start counting their profits as a business.  As a gambler it is important to understand this and  make sure to protect yourself that you are not loosing to the point you have to start looking for whom to throw the blames at securing you feel you were deserving of a win and lost, knowing you are depending on luck ti an extent, you should put to consideration that you are going  to manage your bankroll to the point  whereby you do get chance with your bankroll been in the best position to make you money and not you loosing all to the casino at once.

You made a good point, with what you've said, I believe that you now understand that casinos are business owned by people like me and you and the purpose for any business is profit, so since we know that winning in gambling is by luck, what does that tell, I think we have to educate ourselves on the fact that we can't win more than the casino no matter how smart we are or the strategy we think we have got to know, so having known all this, we have apply a high level of precautionary measures while gambling, whats wrong for gamblers to gamble and stay responsible since the facts about gambling is made known.

[amihada]

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?

So what will be gained by blaming other parties, will the money spent be returned or will they receive compensation from the government? It all means nothing because each individual does it without any coercion from any party, the attitude of a gambler must actually be able to accept whatever happens after gambling.
Losing is a delayed luck (in gambling), moreover the result will always revolve around two axes (winning and losing), so there is no one to blame other than yourself who willingly risks money that you cannot afford to lose when you lose the bet.

When your emotions kick in, you don’t care about whatever plan you prepared once you hit your limit, especially during or after a red streak. Nah, it’s easier said than done to control your emotions in that situation.

Emotions arise and are uncontrollable because from the beginning it is also not clear how the rules to play and where the limits are.
As I did in my first game with $50 (Raffle Prize) which I then used to bet with just one order, without thinking about just playing little by little or doing some other management.

With 1 big bet or just one bet played all, it is a stupid game and will indeed only affect the mentality so that it can no longer think clearly.

This is the reason why Gamblers should always have their emotions under check because gambling sometimes get a good part of our emotions and it makes us to bet continuously,gambling, putting our finances at risk this is the reason I am one of those people who think that gamblers should always go for a mental evaluation with an expert regularly to keep your emotions in check.

Gambling plays a major role in our emotions. When we win at gambling, our emotions become more eager to win, which can be called greed. Trying to get money back after losing repeatedly is another form of emotionalism. This is why gamblers should always keep their emotions in check and bet small amounts.

Gambling means relying on uncertainty, here the profit is yours, the loss is yours, everything is yours, so it is important to be responsible to yourself before doing anything, so here you have to limit yourself to the amount of money you can afford to lose, remember that gambling is not a place to achieve success, and you can never win from it as expected, and the loss that occurs in gambling can never be ignored in any way. So you have to prepare yourself to lose from the beginning, so that you can easily accept your losses. Here, if people's expectations are excessive, it will cause losses, so the right mindset must be followed from the first stage.

[Cookdata]

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

For the very fact that you took the decision to gamble you should be responsible for anything that comes both positive and negative but basically most gamblers always prefer to shift the blames from themselves to the gambling sites or whoever. Buts it's required to gamble responsibly and at the same time it's applicable to take responsibility for any outcome be ot a loss or a win when the time comes.

Blame games is a waste of time you know. If the casino isn't manipulating your games, there is no reason to blame anyone but yourself who wanted to gamble in the first place. I still remember a cousin brother that went ahead to gamble his masters school fee when he was supposed to be in Canada by summer few years back, he used the money to gamble until there was nothing left and he attempted to harm his life but was later rush to the hospital.

He is a change man now but till date, he regreted his actions because we didn't know what he was thinking in the first place. You are gambling with school fee that was raised by family for 6 months struggle so you can have better but the next thing he thought was to double the some amount, that was how he was doing until there was nothing left to fall back to until he decided to threaten his own life, I never knew life is that easy for some people or probably he was looking for a way so they don't blame him for his actions but that's was crude.

Gambling is essentially a business that seeks profit, and it's natural for players to lose more often than they win. I can't fathom why they blame the casinos for their losses. Perhaps they don't truly understand gambling; they think it's a way to make money, so they assume the profits are easy to come by. They should look at themselves; even if they experience significant or frequent losses, they wouldn't have happened if they hadn't done it.

Controlling emotions in gambling is a difficult task. Those who are able to control emotions can certainly do well in gambling. They can control their greed. They can prevent excessive gambling. They can prevent loss chasing after losing. Gamblers are basically driven by emotions. Those who can control their emotions in gambling will reduce the chances of getting addicted. Emotions play a big role in responsible gambling.

The gain will be to play the victim's role, as if nothing which went wrong was the individual's fault, but someone else's wrongdoing (the government, the casino, the social influencers, the society, the problematic childhood and so on...).

When the person plays the victim's role, it feels like in a comfort zone, where he doesn't feel guilty, neither responsible for anything. It's convenient and desirable.

That is why people act like that in different aspects of their lives, which go much beyond gambling matter.

And this wrong mentality is present among most gamblers, instead of seeing gambling as a form of entertainment, they see it as a source of income or a way to achieve success, and at this stage they make their biggest mistake.
Every gambler should limit their activities, and play responsibly, the casino does not force anyone to sit at the game table, a gambler cannot quit gambling solely because of his greed and emotions.
Everything depends on your own responsibility, if you really want to quit gambling, you can definitely do it, but if you give more priority to your greed and emotions, and always have the desire to win through gambling, then you will naturally never be able to quit gambling at the right time.
The problem is only in people's expectations and mentality, if someone plays with a limited budget for the sake of entertainment, and strictly controls himself, that is, limiting the amount of play and stopping gambling at the right time in any situation, then it will definitely be under control, and will not be a cause of addiction.
But when someone thinks of it as a means of income, then the main problem arises, then he cannot accept every loss in any way, and this is why if someone keeps losing regularly or in large amounts, it is the result of his own decision, so if you want to avoid big losses in gambling, you must play responsibly, set limits, because winning or losing in gambling is all a matter of luck, so expectations must be limited here.

Emotions play a big role in responsible gambling.

Those who are able to control gambling do not necessarily mean that they are completely successful, but at least they have managed to minimize the losses incurred because they realize that in the end, this is something that must be done. When they experience defeat, they realize that it is a normal part of gambling, so they will not try to improve the situation by continuing to gamble just because they want to recover their losses or blame others, such as the website, bookies, or those closest to them, because they realize that in the end, it is purely their own fault.

Gamblers who can control themselves well are definitely aware that in the end, gambling is just a game of luck. If we manage to win, it means we are having good luck, but when we cannot win, they realize that this is an unchangeable certainty of gambling, so they will not force themselves.

There's no benefit to blaming others for losses; it only escalates the situation. Imagine if the person being blamed doesn't accept what the main perpetrator did, and physical contact might occur. But if the person being blamed becomes emotional, it's understandable. Blaming others for losses is unreasonable, as gambling is essentially voluntary.
I think those who blame others should reflect, as this kind of action is highly unethical. As you said, it's done without coercion. Even if a friend forces us to gamble, we can still refuse.
