Why do gamblers blame casinos when they lose, but praise “luck” when they win?

[ejikeme24]

That's just the lifestyle of gamblers, although this lifestyle is limited not all gamblers that go with this lifestyle, if there's any gambler who complained about losses but don't complain when they win it should be those profit gamblers, because all they are praying for is wining even in Thier dreams they don't dreamt of Lossing but it's win win win. But you and I know that gambling is not programmed in a way that we will only have winings of course Lossing is also part of the game so when you incur Loss in gamble don't be surprise or even complain about it because there's no way we can stop it from happening unless we stop gambling completely.

The fact that you are gambling should make you understand that you do not have a final say over your money once you place a bet. This sounds like someone avoiding some level of accountability.
Let’s move from the casino and even look at football betting. If two teams happen to have a match and you place a bet on Team A to win, it also means that another person must have placed their bet on Team B to win. This clearly tells you that either way one person must lose, because both teams can’t win. So in this case, is it rigged against you? Do not forget another person might also opt for a draw in the same match.
So ideally, losing is part of the game.

Who among you here also started with that kind of thinking? Did you also blame the casino before when you lost, but later learned to accept that losing is really part of gambling?

Or are there still gamblers here who feel the same until now?

It is common to think that the casinos to blame with our losses when we're immature. That's how it goes for it, we put the blame on them and say that they are rigged.

Until we realize that they're a business, does their job to provide entertainment and chance of winning some money.

So as we become more mature into this industry, we get to understand that we're not always going to win and we'll accept it eventually that losing is a part of it by the time you started betting.

I think most gamblers have experienced this kind of feeling at some point.

When we win, we usually believe we are lucky, or maybe we feel like we made the right decision. We enjoy the win and accept it easily. But when we lose, especially after a bad losing streak, we start thinking that the casino is controlling the game, or maybe the game is rigged so we can never win. But isn’t that a bit unrealistic?

It feels like we only accept the reality of winning, but we don’t want to accept the reality of losing. We are happy to call it luck when the result is in our favor, but when the result goes against us, suddenly we look for someone or something to blame.

I can give you an opposite example. For example, threads regularly appear here discussing how casinos deliberately allow newbies to win, "rigging" luck in their favor. Therefore, there is no pattern here, people are ready to look for a catch even where there is none, and it does not depend on whether the catch is in their favor or against them. But naturally, there are more people who try to find someone to blame for their failures than those who understand how risk works and are ready to accept it if the risk works against them.

I see it as a habit of irresponsible gamblers because I believe the only reason a gambler will blame casinos when they lose, but praise luck when they win psychological biases, and a self-protective strategy when a gambler fails to accept personal responsibility, because the house edge is already set in favor of the house, so why blame the house for something you clearly know they have the upper hand.

People hate to take responsibility for their action that is why they will blame others when they lose but praise their self when they win instead of praising those that made it possible for them to win. A gambler can be betting for many years without no luck and all his blame for losing will be passed on to the casino but immediately he wins then he will begin to feel like he's one of the most luckiest gambler out there without knowing that on a general scale he's already losing since he has stake many money before and yet has not won any. This reaction from gamblers is just a natural phenomena that happens to everyone in every line of business that they are in as this is not only exclusive to gamblers.

Well, alot of times I've blamed casinos for my loss, but not because I don't know that losing is part of gambling but because i feel the casino has manipulated their algorithms to work against me by not allowing me to win no matter how much I play and lost on the casino.
I get this type of feeling specially when playing slot and or casino games where winning is totally dependent on being lucky, and also because I've possibly spent alot of time playing and haven't won anything.

Personally, I feel this is natural though, as humans. It's absolutely natural to feel this way when we have been playing for quite some time and always losing, imagine depositing tangible amount of money to the casino multiple times like up to five or more times and in all of that deposits, no dime was won, you will have no choice but to suspect that something must be wrong somewhere, and the first to suspect or see as culprit to your losses will be the casino where you are gambling on because believe it or not, there's definitely a way a casino will set their algorithm against you and you won't win no matter how much money and time you spend playing a game.

you're absolutely right. after a loss gamblers try to find the reason. in the case of online casinos they begin to suspect that the algorithms are rigged to prevent them from winning. in the case of sports betting gamblers also begin to look for reasons, for example, they think the match might be fixed. in any case, you should try to take a loss calmly and most importantly, don't bet more than you can afford to lose, then a lost bet won't become a disaster for your family budget.

When a football game ends, the losing team blames the referee for the defeat. When a car race ends, the losing team blames the road and weather conditions. When elections end, the losing candidate blames the entire election organization. When someone falls in the street, they blame the sidewalk. We humans always blame others for our losses because it's difficult to accept that we ourselves were responsible for the loss. The same is true for gambling; people who gamble always blame the casino or betting house. This way, the person feels more mentally comfortable.

[Orpichukwu]

I will say that our mind is programmed like that; we accept something without questioning it when it's in our favour but turn out to be the opposite if the same thing is not favouring us again. That's when we start asking questions and doubt if it's right or if we are being cheated. In most cases we have to work on ourselves and use the logic and rules of the game to make judgements and don't allow our personal feelings to react negatively to it. The same thing is applicable to gambling.

In perfect terms, it is--- but technically, that's the whole purpose of the existence of a casino in the first place. How do they make profits if they don't adjust the odds and give you just a little edge to make profit occasionally? While the word "controlling" may be too stringent to describe this, especially since nobody is forced against their will, the casinos are up to make profit.

It feels like we only accept the reality of winning, but we don’t want to accept the reality of losing. We are happy to call it luck when the result is in our favor, but when the result goes against us, suddenly we look for someone or something to blame.

As humans, we tend to struggle with a few things that makes up our reality, one of that is accountability.

Maybe those who complain about games that are Not provably fair in some cases are just not ready to wake up from that illusion?

[Natalim]

People who find excuses after losing are mostly those who gamble with so much winning expectations, that their losses create a painful mismatch with what  they set to expect and with what the reality of gambling is. They are just trying to protect their self-esteem to the point of blaming the casino thinking that the games are rigged or the casino is just trying to control the outcomes of the game.

But are they gambling the right way? Obviously not. Because if you are a responsible gambler, blaming should never an option, but it should set for you to realize that with gambling, everything is played with uncertainty, that's why one should not set unrealistic expectations if possible.

[Myleschetty]

I think most gamblers have experienced this kind of feeling at some point.

Perhaps the majority of gamblers have felt this way at some point because of a dubious casino that poses as a legitimate casino. However, the tendency for gamblers to blame casinos when they lose while praising luck when they win is evident in many aspects of life, not just gambling; the intense emotions and financial stakes involved in gambling are what make it so obvious.

When we win, we usually believe we are lucky, or maybe we feel like we made the right decision. We enjoy the win and accept it easily. But when we lose, especially after a bad losing streak, we start thinking that the casino is controlling the game, or maybe the game is rigged so we can never win. But isn’t that a bit unrealistic?

If we're using a reputable casino like DEDPRZ . com, it's unrealistic, but if the casino is dubious, it's realistic.

Trying to play the blame game after losing is a sign of immaturity because nobody forced you to gamble, Anyone that blames the casino for the losses that they incurred isn't supposed to be gambling. The casinos can be blamed only on certain conditions, sometimes there can be some technical issues that doesn't allow the gambler to claim profits when they are supposed to this can make the gambler end up losing. As a gambler you must always be ready for whatever outcome that you can get from gambling because anything is possible.

In gambling, no one should expect anything as you have no upper hand with the results. You are just increasing your chance of winning here as you understand the sports. That is, if you are into sportsbetting. But if you are into casino games, i don't think you can determine your chance of winning here but you can always limit your losses because you can only allocate the amount that you can spend for a certain given session.

Excellent indicator of self control is to set aside a special budget to spend on gaming. It aids in avoiding financial losses that may result in disturbance of family peace. It's not a good idea to exceed that limit when you're losing. And maintain this promise and never again, at the expiry of your budgeted funds, play until you have nothing left.

I think it's one of those moments where people tend to feel like the victim of all the situation. If you ask me I would say it's pretty easy to blame the casino than to admit you carelessy spent the money. Alot of people tend to forget that casinos are businesses and charities. Their goal is to make a profit and they do that by offering games where the odds are generally in their favor, while there are certainly concerns about responsible gambling and ethical practices, every individual still has a level of personal responsibility when deciding how much money to risk.

[len01]

Or are there still gamblers here who feel the same until now?

Of course, there are still some. They even often mock a particular casino after losing a particular game. 

Sometimes, gamblers truly expect something big to come from gambling. However, they forget something important, gambling is a business built to provide gamblers with a place to gamble for fun, and they pay for that fun with amounts they can afford to lose. And they also forget that gambling will be profitable for the business owner. So, all of this is due to a misconception about gambling.

With the casino having some sort of house edge in gambling, it’s easier to subscribe to the school of thought that would always make you have the impression that the entire system is against you. This leaves you with the idea that, every loss comes from a deliberate attempt by the casino or bookie to stay profitable while you lose.

The truth is, it’s always about the decisions we make while gambling and that’s how we come to lose when we do. It’s always about us and not the casino or bookie.

[Hypnosis00]

Why blame? Because these gamblers don't understand their position. When our minds always think about winning, losing is not accepted. So, blaming is the only thing they can do rather than blaming themselves.

The more these gamblers hate casinos for losing, the more they gain interest in beating them. And that is exactly what the casino is trying to do. To catch these greedy gamblers with that very simple yet working strategy.

[tread93]

Maybe its just a way to come to terms with things in a way that doesn't accept responsibility for their actions. Luck is a great thing when I happens to you and its in your favor but when its not its easy to justify the loss by blaming the casino for a rigged game and not calling it bad luck.
