Who do you blame?

[fruktik]

It's just that when we've gotten a little warmed up to gambling, we start to slowly lose our heads. We don't even notice it. For example, when I was playing slots, I'd often spontaneously raise my bet, completely without any strategy. Because I knew the multiplier was about to hit, and, of course, nothing happened. Because of this, I made a lot of money playing slots. It's just that some strange, spontaneous feeling makes us suddenly, absolutely, believe in miracles.

Oh, I do exactly the same thing as you, I do it all the time. If I see I'm getting lucky, I start raising the bet. And as always, I lose. Just no luck, that's all. I keep waiting for a multiplier, but it never comes. It's downright frustrating. It seems like my deposit has just started growing and I need to raise the bet, but it only makes things worse. Why is that? It's because that's how the casino is set up. You can't cheat it. It's pointless.

Look, at the end of the day, you're the one pulling the trigger, placing the bet, spinning the wheel, whatever. The house just sets the table, it's on you to sit down and play. Sure, the glitz and the "what if" fantasies are designed to pull you in, but nobody forces your hand. You gotta own that. Blaming the casino or the government is a cop-out, a way to dodge the real, uncomfortable truth that you made a choice, and sometimes those choices have consequences that stick. So yeah, I take responsibility for my losses, because playing the blame game is just another way of losing.

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.

Yea bruh we talk about blame shifting by some gamblers who either want to pass the cause of their loss to the casino or to another person to take the blame. Be whether the game was predicted by someone else and you took it to play for yourself, as far as you weren't forced to play the game you don't have any reasons to shift blames, it was your decision, you made the call and also should've understood that by taking the blame, not against your friend.

gambling is a risky activity so before entering you should have that kind of mentality that you are capable in acccepting the blame.

We as experienced players know how to deal with that kind of thing, in this case players must consider that if they lose the responsibility is the player's , the casino does not Demand how much to play , nor does it force people to force, there is no blame, only the players' fault, that is what really happens , that is why we must recognize that every act that must take place in the Casino is always our Responsibility.

We just need to be a truly conscious persons and demand strict discipline from ourself. It's very difficult to be strict with yourself; it's very hard. We easily criticize others, but we try to find any way to avoid criticizing ourselves. Both gambling and betting are hobbies that are excellent at testing our inner qualities.
Gambling is not for everyone, it is for those who are ready to control their personality.

Why will anagone even think of blaming the Casinos, casinos owns the games fine we have seen that already but they never forced nayone to we individually decidea to play, so what are the blame or is it that people just feel that they only way they can behave to be happy for themselves is to divert blames to other people I think this is not limited to gamblers alone, in the real world there are people that don't like accepting blames, even when they know they are ro be blamed, they will still try to divert the blames to other people, I think thats an act of not being prepared to accept responsibility, personally i think this kind of people shouldn't be part of gambling because they aren't ready to accept the concept of gambling.

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

Let's imagine this scenario, a man who has no other source of income, apart fromm his monthly $100 salary. Now aytime he receives this salary he uses the whole of them to gamble without even reserving any for his personal and family need all in the hope of doubling his money...... Let's say this very faithful day came and he used all of his monthly salary to gamble as usual and lost all of it in one day..... We cannot start blaming the government, or his village people, neither can we ever start blaming the game or even the gambling company. Who has the overall blame and responsibilityn is the man in question coz he used that money to gamble consciously he wasn't controlled neither was he even forced by anyone.

gamble i o different from other types of bussines were they make ads just to ra our attention and then it left for us to make the decision based on our conviction or how attached we get. the fact still remains that we triggered te deposit button, and did it willingly so if anyone complians of the casino being a scam, we shouldn't forget that they did impose it on us forcefully. besides if the government denied the right to gamble it would seem like oppression or something else. well if the ask me, i'll say it's good they let us make the decision based on our preference except in times where it's now a national problem and a treat to the economy.

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.

It's easy to say that you shouldn't think about gambling after losing money. You get a huge urge to make a new deposit and win back the previous one. And this happened to me over and over again for several years. I couldn't stop or say no to myself. I went and borrowed money just to go to the casino again and experience the process of gambling. At the time, it was my escape from the harsh reality. Only it got worse in the end.

That's right. I will be lying to myself if I say I didn't do the same thing as you did.

There's this mentality that we want to get our revenge, and the urge to chase our losses is growing whenever we keep on losing. I guess that's how being human is. We tend to obey that emotion first instead of thinking about what is the right thing to do next.
I won't blame anyone or even the gambling site for the mistakes that I will make. It's a decision of mine in the first place, and we must accept the losses if there's no chance to deposit again.

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.

Conscientious gamblers might learn from their mistakes. Those who become enraged by unsatisfactory results can be said to be gamblers who gamble for profit, and they hate and cannot accept losing, even though the reality is that losing is inevitable. Understanding gambling is important because it determines our future behavior. If we don't understand the rules of gambling, consequences and problems can arise, and they are unavoidable, so accepting them is a must. Therefore, blaming ourselves is the most appropriate course of action.

[Jostern]

The individual who is gambling, if they loose their money because it’s always said that gamble responsibly, should take responsibility for their loss and why should we blame the government, or the Casino company, Government know that gambling is legal and they is no way they will stop people from gambling, and casino company are doing their business, so you don’t expect them to chase their customers away, who does that when you’re having your business, it’s people job and how they makes their money, but you can actually blame an individual for not gambling responsibly, and someone who isn’t up to 18 years going to gamble, because it’s always say 18+, but sometimes I do ask myself how would they know who is 18yrs above when it’s an online casino, no one is forced to gamble it’s a personal decision to gamble.

Indeed, it’s easier said than done, especially if you’ve been gambling for a long time already. It’s hard to control the urge to come back. Even if you manage to resist it, it’s never an easy feat. If controlling emotions and greed were that simple, there would be far fewer addicted gamblers, but clearly, that’s not the case. Just like you, I also got myself into debt because of gambling, and fortunately, I was able to get out of that situation. No matter what, I will never allow myself to fall into it again. I knew back then that what I was doing was very wrong, and I even knew the outcome could be worse, but I still persisted. After overcoming that, it’s no longer just something I know, it’s deeply embedded in my mind, you should never borrow money for the sake of gambling.

Yes, I think that is exactly how a responsible gambler should deal with gambling.

But the reality is quite different from what I've seen. Most gamblers that lose money end up blaming someone else.

And if they win, they take all the credit.

[dwyane36]

and someone who isn’t up to 18 years going to gamble, because it’s always say 18+, but sometimes I do ask myself how would they know who is 18yrs above when it’s an online casino, no one is forced to gamble it’s a personal decision to gamble.

Many online casinos already require mandatory user verification, as required by their license. So, it's not a problem for them to find out whether a user is 18 years old or not. Of course, there are still casinos that are "KYC-free", but only until a user decides to withdraw a large win.

Well said, Junder, you're a very smart and wise person. It's up to us; anyone can make mistakes and big mistakes, it happens. The important thing, in my opinion, is to learn from your mistakes and figure out how not to make them again.
Because if you make repeated mistakes, you gain nothing but more mistakes.
This is not a smart thing, since the mistake helps you, if you learn from it.

Gambling is a subject where it's very easy to constantly regret something: "I could have bet less and lost less," "I could have bet more and then the multiplier would have brought me a hundred times more money." We can never know in advance, and so for me, gambling is primarily a struggle with the feeling of missed opportunities. All the money lost hangs like an anchor in any gambler's memory, and you need to be able to let it go. Otherwise, there will be a mark on your conscience, and it's important to remember that when we make decisions in the moment, we consider them profitable. So there's no need to regret anything.

The biggest responsibility in gambling is to maintain self-control, an uncontrollable person in gambling will always face big losses, so this uncontrollability towards oneself should be overcome as soon as possible, otherwise it will be harmful for you. A gambler often loses, but instead of learning from those losses, they become more emotional, and this is their biggest weakness, at such times one has to be responsible towards oneself and give up gambling, only then can it avoid major disasters, those who know how to accept their limitations and make discipline all there activity, they will never be addicted to gambling.

I think you're judging by decent people, including yourself. Among gamblers, there are some who are completely clueless. They borrow money from their family, girlfriends, school friends, employers, and colleagues, and these gamblers couldn't care less how they repay it. The burden of responsibility doesn't bother them; they're focused on winning money here and now, and when they lose, their conscience doesn't bother them at all.
They just want to gamble again.

Of course, this will lead to that. In this case, I think the government shouldn't remain silent, because if left unchecked, this vulnerability will worsen, leading to negative and disturbing outcomes. It all starts with personal desire, but is supported by an ecosystem that supports addiction, as we can see.

The government remains in control. If they don't limit or classify this issue, it will become a disease and a major problem for them, resulting in a society that no longer cares about those around them. Over time, this will damage the surrounding environment, leading to stress among couples and psychologically harming children.
