Who do you blame?

[Anayochukwu]

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?

It is foolishness for me to blame someone else for my choices, no one was forced at a gun point by any casino to gamble but it is an individual decision. The government, casino or gambling are not to be blamed for your losses because you made your decision by yourself alone so turning around to blame people for any loss is ridiculous and stupid, I have actually seen people blame casino for taking up their money without letting them win just once and I find it laughable and childish, casino doesn't choose your games for you and they didn't specifically tell you the amount of money to use so blaming them when the game is not in your favor is just you running away from the truth or responsibility and it still won't change the fact that you have lost money. I don't have to blame anyone for my losses and I don't have to explain myself to anyone for losing a game because it is my money and I take responsibility for any loss.

Yeah, that's the thing, people should definitely be responsible for their actions, but it's a hard thing to do, as most prefer to blame someone else.

I think at the end of the day you get what you deserve in a way, as in, if you are responsible, you get a better future, and if you blame others, you keep going in that path

I use the following method to curb the desire for more: if I manage to win but the win feels insufficient or too small, I remind myself of what I can do or buy with that exact amount. Usually, there’s always something that needs to be done at that particular time. Then I cash out the winnings, whatever the amount, and use them to cover necessary expenses. Even if the win is small, being able to pay, say, a Netflix subscription with it already feels better, because I’ve converted the winnings into something I actually need. That way, it no longer seems so trivial.

It's a very good consideration and you're right Well , I think that the Netflix subscription works because they are Small rents but they are somewhat Annoying, One always tries to maintain the most basic Services that are generally expensive , but if you Earn a little , something is useful for that , it's a good Consolation and it also turns into something Positive , just Enough to determine that it's a good way to face things in a casino.

Because of this, I made a lot of money playing slots.

So, you actually did make lots of money playing slots? For me it is just something unreachable, because I don't get those slots games and I don't see any strategy behind it. I never managed to win more then 17 dollars, making small bets and hitting small multipliers. I know that those huge wins we all have heard about regarding casino gambling are most often made on slots, but this is something completely closed to me, apparently.

It can happen, but not on a regular basis. I highly doubt there's a winner in slots who keeps on playing and is still a winner now, using only one online casino. That's impossible. It takes a lot of money before they give back, and most slots are high-volatility games. 200 - 500 rolls before something will come out, and even buying the free spins is not a good choice either.

It's more believable if a gambler says he won big in slots and is still a winner because he never went back to play again. I know some people who did that.

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

I think those who blame others for their mistakes in gambling either lack education or they do not want to take responsibility for themselves. They always try to make themselves look big in front of others, which definitely shows their stupidity. Those who are wise will never blame others for their mistakes. Since the government or any casino platform never exerts pressure to gamble, there is no opportunity to blame them. Those who are definitely irresponsible are the ones who blame others.

I also believe that the only way to truly win at a casino is to permanently walk away once you’ve won an amount that satisfies you. Only then can the win be considered secured and fixed. If you return, there is a very high chance of losing everything or at least the most part of what you had previously won.

Yes, all casinos do is display advertising, which can sometimes be intrusive. And the government is often too lenient when it comes to advertising, allowing casino ads to air during prime time on major TV channels. Well, we can't say for sure that this doesn't influence undecided potential gamblers. Advertising certainly has an effect, as it makes them consider gambling. But I agree that no one presses the bet button in online games for gamblers. Only they do.

You're right. People who blame others, they don't understand about responsibility. Yes, they may have lack of education and they have weak mentality. If they have strong mentality, they won't easily blame other people. When we get severe losses in casinos, it is purely our responsibility and our mistakes. We totally can't blame other people or the casinos. There are no people who force us to gamble, the casinos also don't force us as well. So, we gamble with our own intention. And we must be ready with the losses and take the responsibility of the possible severe losses.

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

In fact  if you delve deeper into what you're saying  it's not just gambling  but a perpetual conflict between making personal decisions and accepting responsibility for them. We often see people taking credit for their successes  but trying to blame others for their failures. This mentality is not limited to the world of gambling we see this tendency in business  investments  and even personal relationships.

Now let s talk about gambling and the role of the government.
We often hear  why does the government legalize gambling?  In a way  it s true  the government creates a social policy framework. But they are not approving compulsive gambling for anyone. If the government legalizes alcohol  will everyone become alcoholics?

One thing we must not forget legality does not mean  moral motivation . You can do stupid things within the boundaries of the law. You can also do wrong without doing illegal things.

I think at the end of the day you get what you deserve in a way, as in, if you are responsible, you get a better future, and if you blame others, you keep going in that path

Accepting responsibilities of our actions and rising to its outcomes are what makes one an adult unlike children that will want to throw tantrums after doing something and it didn't go in their favour they start crying looking for who to have pity on them. If you're a disciplined individual and woke in mind you'll understand that the world in nature doesn't reward people oppositely. You do things wrongly you get bad results and as the other way around it.

I believe you guys are talking about losing or winning a bet and blaming it on someone or yourself, I see no reason bringing blaming yourself for something you predicted by yourself, the only time you can blame someone is when the person predicted it and give it to you to bet, there was a time when a friend of mine predicted a bet for me when I lost I blamed him it is always like that but if I predict and lose I don't blame anybody but my self and the reason why I always blame myself is because my instinct or something in me usually tell me the right way to go when predicting but I usually don't accept and when I lose I blame myself for not listening to my instinct.

That’s very correct Mate. You’ve said it all, being grown isn’t just about how old you are, it’s more about taking responsibility for your choices and also being man enough to accept the results of those actions, regardless of what they are. It’s a lot more easier for kids to mess up and expect someone else to clean up the mess they made, but the truth is that adults don’t have the luxury to do that. As adults, you get what you put into life, it’s like the popular computer phrase, garbage in, garbage out, you can’t put in garbage and not expect garbage in return.

[Judith87403]

the only time you can blame someone is when the person predicted it and give it to you to bet, there was a time when a friend of mine predicted a bet for me when I lost I blamed him it is always like that but if I predict and lose I don't blame anybody but my self and the reason why I always blame myself is because my instinct or something in me usually tell me the right way to go when predicting but I usually don't accept and when I lose I blame myself for not listening to my instinct.

That means you're yet to understand the concept of gambling, because had it mean you do, you wouldn't have blamed him for your misfortune. You should know that gambling is a game of luck so if he make a Prediction for you and it didn't work as expected you just have to move on and keep all the blame to yourself, what if he decided not to share the booking with you? I'm sure that you will tag him a bad friend for not sharing his booking code with you. And I want to disagree with you when you said that is always like that, I think this is my first time of hearing this Because I have been making use of my friends Predictions and sometimes I lose that's when luck is not around but when luck is around then we win together. So I usually handle everything myself without pushing it to my friends, Because I know that wining and losing is inevitable in gamble.

There is no reason to blame anyone for losing while gambling because if you are to blame anyone then it should be the gambler because the matter of choice is in your hand of the bettor because there are choices. And they like bragging about how good they are when it comes to betting and I don't see the reason why some people are always doing that I think they need to do better and be humble and gamble without anyone knowing.

And is not as if they are forcing anyone to gamble to you don't even need to blame anyone so when ever it does not favor then they should just let the whole thing go so it is better to understand gambling that when you lose money then the next will be for you to let it go and move on than trying to regain your all the money lost so is just that gamble at your own risk nothing more because when you gamble you gamble at risk.

[nara1892]

I agree with you, OP, that there are many people, especially gamblers, who lose a lot of money and then blame the gambling agent or casino where they play, even though it is clear from the outset that there is no coercion from any party, especially from the casino, telling them to play.

So if the question is who should be blamed, then it is obviously the gamblers themselves who should be blamed. The reason is that they were the ones who came in the first place, chose the casino, and decided how much money to deposit, and there was no interference from the casino in that decision-making process. I usually refer to gamblers like that as losers.

Government can't be blamed for making gambling exist. There are people who can't just take responsibility for their own actions, always looking for whom to unleash their anger on. These are the ones who will blame the government, the gambling office and everyone that is present at the time of the loss. Gambling is rated 18+, so whoever is involved will own up to the responsibility that comes with it. After blaming one another for your loss, who do you praise for your win? So a gambler should take the blame and praise at its peak.

Although I do agree with personal responsibility, it is also the government who ends up having to deal with the consequences sometimes...

For example they have to spend money on rehabilitation programs, or even paying for jail for people who start stealing because of gambling, or paying child support for the families left behind, etc.

The cost for the government for allowing gambling is not zero, but at the same time the money they make in fees is probably more anyway.

Blaming the Government or someone for your losses just shows a gambler is not prepared for the worse case that can happen in gambling. Playing blindly (using the funds that you can't live without) but unable to accept the outcome is one of the reason why many gamblers are becoming addicted for trying to recover the losses. If you decided to gamble your money, make sure you're prepared for the consequences since losing is inevitable. Be responsible to face it and don't blame anybody since no one coerce you to gamble your money.

In gambling, unstable emotions can make the situation more complicated, with feelings that may become more aggressive because these unstable emotions make us lose control of ourselves in gambling, and the occurrence of large losses or other bad impacts that can be confirmed is due to gambling, so there is no one to blame but themselves, many people are addicted to gambling because they themselves cannot control themselves, one of which is emotions.

Just yesterday I had an incident where I lost my temper and started increasing my bets. And what happened? Naturally, I wiped out my deposit much faster. I wanted to prolong the pleasure, but it didn't work. My emotions began to mount, and I lost control for a while. I'm still trying not to give in to my emotions, but it's just not working. I wanted the best, but it turned out as always.

Like you, I also have been in this situation many times. Due to emotions, we think that if we increase the bet, we can recover the loss faster, but this leads us to more losses, as a result, we keep moving towards bigger losses faster. Therefore, it is very important to control our emotions in such a situation. After losing, we can easily forget our limits, but this is the biggest challenge. When we can control ourselves in such a situation, only then will we be responsible. If we lose the specified amount, just stop gambling without thinking about anything else, only then will we be safe from bigger losses.
