Self Accountability =Responsible Gambling

[Youngrebel]

I am of the opinion that for any one to be responsible in what he does he must have this good quality of self accountability.  
Self Accountability is taking responsibility for every action and inaction that you take and ensuring you are able to give proper and detailed accout of what happens in your life to your ownself. And it is not just something that it developed overnight.

The same way you expect your employee or others to give proper accounts to you, you are also required to give account of things you do to yourself.

Do you think those who gamble recklessly without the fear of losing everything are self accountable?

Because How does someone who is accountable to himself even go as far as borrowing to gamble? How does one who is self accountable stay in the gambling hall almost all day? Or even uses any money that enters his hand to gamble?

Gambling recklessly is already an irresponsible action and for that reason,  the gambler is no longer accountable since he can keep with tine and limits, he will definitely lose everything.

Who borrow a gambler money anyway.

I cant imagine myself giving out financial support to someone i know he going to gamble with the money, so for sure being a responsible gambler is what being accountable really means.

That's the whole point: if you're a mentally weak person, irresponsible in everyday life, you're likely to end up making bad decisions in the world of gambling, and you'll have a tendency or a greater risk of addiction, or, so to speak, taking the wrong path. Because, as you rightly say, our control and maturity don't appear overnight; they're part of our personality. So, for someone who is aware of this type of weakness, it's best not to get fully involved in gambling and to enjoy it only sporadically.

This is an instance where setting a budget for entertainment and for pacing yourself work quite well.

I imagine a lot of people who end up with issues gambling do so because they rush into it getting lost on the entertainment side of feeling like they're being productive where the reality is a lot different. The same can be seen in trading and investing too though, a lot of people who pick stocks or try trading take their beginner's luck (or slightly casino profit) and think it's repeatable when the odds are against them in a lot of cases.

They must self accountable for it. If it is their money, they will have no option than to face the bad effect it will have on them. Anyone that is doing what you posted above is a gambling addict, such a person really needs professional help for gambling not to destroy his or her life. I have been in such situation before and it is very real and happening to people that think they can make money from gambling.

Borrowing money to gamble, spending hours gambling and doing things that are not right just to get money to gamble is an irresponsible act..responsible gambling means staking moderately without any form of addiction and being accountable for your actions..if anyone has to break moral conducts or cross personal boundaries just to keep gambling then that person isn't a responsible gambler at all

Nah. Anyone gambling recklessly is no longer accountable to himself, he is now an addict. And as you may agree with me, addiction is an enemy in daily activities not only in gambling, it could be drinking and all of that, in essence too much of every thing is bad and as such we should be able to hold ourselves accountable for our actions.

Although it is not easy but we should try our best to set boundaries around the amount we spend on gambling so that it doesn't lead us into debt.

Been accountable gambler is the ability to go about self reflection of how much he has left gambling and how much he going to use to gamble in a day. The ability to detect when it's getting out of hand and the strength to stop it immediately, the ability to divide his funds for other things too as well and maintain a balance lifestyle.

Well, you raised a good point but I honestly can't say that being self accountable means or translates to being a responsible gambler, and this is because its absolutely possible for a person to be accountable in one area and end up being absolutely lose in another area ..

For example, I could be accountable to myself in how much money I choose to spend on other things except gambling, it's absolutely possible and I've meet people like this, they are very judicious when it comes to spending money on other things around their life but they easily write off money they spent on gambling as nothing or money they had already prepared to lose.
In a situation where the person is a habitual gambler, this could become a serious threat to their financial stability.

My answer is No they are not self accountable, why because those who  gamble carelessly are already irresponsible gambler's, and they can never be self accountable unless they limit their gambling habits. Borrowing money to gamble is am inappropriate behavior and only those who are reckless gamblers can exhibit such behavior. Further more those guys who stay in a gambling Hall the whole day are jobless people, who only depend on gambling as a source of income, and a call it high level of irresponsibility. In this life one have to be self accountable, even while gambling. Because as a gambling who is self accountable you most limits, limit to the time you will spend in the gambling Hall, the amount of money you will spend in the gambling Hall  and last limit to your looses and stick to them.

What I understand about self-accountability is simple: if you lose, it’s your own fault, it’s the result of your own actions.

I sometimes read gamblers blaming the casino for their losses, and that’s not self-accountability, that’s just being undisciplined and immature. If we’re responsible, we know the risks and we know how to manage them. And if we fail to do that, like when we lose control and lose more than we can afford, then we accept the mistake and be accountable for whatever comes with it, whether it’s losing a job, losing your family, or ending up broke.

[Odusko]

Sometimes, situations push people into borrowing, and I don't blame those that borrow to gamble with, because they will definitely pay back what they borrow and been able to gamble in the most responsible ways as possible, so for that reason, we need to check for situation when pointing out some limitations of gambler's.
Being accountable is a personal standing point that have nothing to do with gambling unless the gambler is already addicted and have problematic gambling that is when he will lose control.

No, because they do not protect themselves from ruins.  They don't practice their self-control to limit their gambling expenses resulting to financial destruction.

I highly agree, self-accountability includes protecting oneself from incoming disaster.  How can one be self-accountable if they let their gambling habit lead them to destruction? Not only accepting loses and saying it was our fault to lose.  Unless work is done to change our gambling behavior into fully responsible gambling, claiming the fault is just a fassage to continue gambling irresponsibly.

Those who gamble recklessly without fear of losing everything are not self-responsible, they are irresponsible gamblers because a responsible gambler will never gamble recklessly and will not use a lot of money on gambling platforms and will not consider gambling as a means of earning money. But those gamblers who are irresponsible will always consider gambling as a means of earning money, will use a lot of money in gambling and will participate in gambling more than once a day and will develop a huge addiction and greed for money. When their money runs out, they will constantly go around to people to borrow money. If they cannot borrow money, they will try to sell some household items or valuables if necessary. However, every gambler has to be self-responsible from his own position. If every gambler can be self-responsible from his position, then that person will never gamble recklessly.

[Viscore]

Those you have mentioned are clearly irresponsible acts of gambling. Those who are aware of the future outcomes are definitely taking self-accountability, but those who are driven already by greed and addiction, I don't think they still feel that self-accountability especially if they gamble while doing drugs as well, the result makes them miserable in the long run.

However, majority are still responsible gamblers, and they know what they're doing, they're aware if it caused them good or bad. Self-accountability comes with responsible gambling, except for those who acts crazy in gambling, self-accountability might not be possible then.

Spending money is different from spending money recklessly, when we are buying the things we want and when we spend it on good clothes, to watch a good movie or just to experience the casino still it is something that person is consuming and the cost is a little money according to his financial status. SO not everyone who gambles is irresponsible.

That’s the reason why even though there are real stories of gambling ruining some people’s lives, the gambling industry is still booming. You can’t blame gambling itself, because from the start we already know there’s winning and losing, and the house has the edge so they’ll win most of the time. If we ignore that reality, that’s on us. That’s why some people aren’t really accountable for what they do. We can’t act like kids here, when we sign up, we’re already 18+, which means we should be mature enough to understand what we’re getting into.

Addicted gamblers are irresponsible and if there's one thing they lack is accountability, they blame conditions around them and other things for their addiction but they don't hold theirself accountable for their actions. I wonder why a gambler would blame the casinos for his own irresponsible actions, this is clear that they're not going to accept that e everything that goes wrong is their fault

[PrivacyG]

No, what kind of question is this?  You can not be self accountable if you do not care about consequences.  Losing every single thing you have by borrowing and throwing all that Money and Wealth at a Casino means you took full control over your life and Gambled it away.  If this happens then there is not much empathy from me because you have a LOT of time before being able to destroy your life so easily.  It is not like you can put your house, life savings and car on the line in a single click.

[Asuspawer09]

I dont think so because going on gambling without having some kind of plans atleast for sure is not being responsible if they are not responsible for there actions we can't really expect for them to be self accountable at all, I wouldn't personally going to expect that from them, I mean someone could go gambling recklessly but if it is manage correctly like just having a 100$ and he just want to gamble it all but he know that it is his limit because he already save 100k$ before even deciding to gambling the hundred. Then at least you are being responsible and managing your risk.

Borrowing money to gamble is on another level in my opinion, gambling itself is already a big thing that you should be responsible when doing so, but borrow is going to dig you a deeper hole if your going to be reckless on it, it's like gambling is going to get you to zer,o but borrowing is going to get you to a negative.

It's not bad to gamble as long as you know what you are doing with your finances, you know you are not risking everything or anything, managing is going to be a huge thing, putting only money that you could afford to lose is going to be good enough to be a responsible gambler.
