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

[Asiska02]

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?

This is just a thing of your approach into the market, if you’ve approached the market with the mindset that you will accept defeat as part of the process of gambling since it’s a game of luck, you shouldn’t feel bad when results are out and you fail to win. Since you’ve accepted it to be a game of luck, you should also already have a prepared mind that you’ll abide by the rules and not point fingers to anyone when losses come just like you’ll want to self appraise yourself when you win. I know as humans, our nature to always shift blame when we make mistakes or lose is very common, but being realistic to ourselves is the best and would make us take responsibility for our mistakes and repair our wrongs when trying again.

Because no one wants to lose in gambling, as long as we continue to win, gambling seems fair. When we start losing, many people think that there is a lot of manipulation in gambling, as if someone wins once, they will lose in the next few bets, which means no one can win consistently in gambling. Of course, we all know that gambling depends on luck, so if you are lucky, you can win, and if you are unlucky, you will lose, but sometimes a wrong decision can make you lose. Personally, this is how I take it when I win in gambling. And losing is considered part of gambling.

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.

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 think this is one of the common mistakes gamblers make. Instead of accepting that gambling always has risk, we sometimes make excuses just to feel better about the loss.

A person like that means he is a person who does not think, it is very sad to have such thoughts and it is a mistake of many gamblers who always blame other aspects when they lose, and usually such people have a history of losing more than winning.
I never blame the casino as long as I play gambling, at worst I blame the network for making me less comfortable in playing, there are so many delays that I can't enjoy it to the fullest.

No one can easily accept losing in gambling because they bet using different strategies and make predictions. When they lose, they cannot easily accept that their prediction is wrong. For this, sometimes they can blame the casino platform. But this is completely wrong, no casino platform helps anyone to win specially. So one should always gamble carefully. And one should use the amount of money in gambling that one can easily forget if he loses. But if one uses such an amount of money that one cannot easily forget if he loses, then it is natural to get emotional and blame the platform.

Let's always know that people will definitely look for a place to find faults, some will blame the casino for their losses because they don't want to see it as a mistake from their end, while doing this does not make any changes or improve anything about us, we are only expected to try to know the course today mistake we made that let's to lose him instead of finding who to blame for being responsible for the loss.

[igebotz]

We've discussed this in the past and I've always mentained the same stance on topics like this; what separates experienced gamblers from impulsive ones is not necessarily winning often, but accepting reality more honestly. Understanding that even a fair game can produce long losing streaks and they don't let emotions distort their judgement and start blaming the house.

The moment you stop seeing every lose as conspiracy and starts treating it a nature of gambling, you'll  make better decisions and avoid many costly mistakes that come from frustration and denied.

[HONDACD125]

I would say that there is only a specific group of gamblers who do things like that, because I have never blamed the casino or the game or someone else when I lost, because I know that gambling is all about luck, and if I'm winning, I'm lucky, and if I lose, I was surely unlucky and my loss has nothing to do with the game being rigged or the casino cheating me, especially if I have also been winning in the same game.

Gamblers who think this way are mostly the ones who are emotionally incorrect at times when they are not getting what they were expecting. If they were hopeful and expecting to win but they lose, they get mixed emotions, such as sadness, anger, frustration, and regret, and when that happens, they don't understand what they should do because they know they can't get the money back, obviously, so to trick their own brain that they didn't lose because of themselves, they start putting the blame on something else, and that probably makes them feel a bit relieved.

A sensible gambler would never think that way.

Reminds me of when I was studying at the university. Anyone from my country will understand this normal saying among students. When we get good grades, we praise our efforts and brag to everyone about how smart we are. But if we get poor grades, we say the lecturer gave us poor grades. No one is going to say, "I didn't study, that's why I failed."

It's funny how people never want to accept failure and defeat. Whether gamblers accept failure or not, it still won't change the fact that they lost. Rather, constantly looking for someone to blame for their failure instead of looking inward to address the cause and find ways to reduce their losses will make gamblers lose concentration on the main problem.

For instance, if a gambler's problem is addiction or biased choices whenever he gambles, he may not be able to identify this problem if he shifts the blame to the casinos. The implication is that the gambler still suffers the most.

That is the nature of human, whenever they experience something good they will be thinking that it is their doings, their luck, hard work and consistency. but when they experience failure they will be looking for who to pin it on, without blaming themselves or seeing their own faults. I don't think casino has any contributions to make to one's success or failure. Everything depends on luck, and blaming the casino is not appropriate because they didn't false anyone to gamble, its their decision and they are free to quit whenever they wish or want.

I don't think that, the impression you are trying to paint is actually true. Yes it's true that when a gambler lose there is this unhappy mood that such a gambler will be but blaming it to the casino is what I don't agree with. What is the essence of blaming the casino that they intentionally made sure that your gambling picks which you have chosen in your slip doesn't go your way. It's laughable to me. Anyone thinking about gambling should know that it's a win and lose situation so there should be no place for blaming the casino or even your self.

"Gambling is very popular. Gambling is a way for someone to be emotionally manipulated, so that sooner or later they lose control of themselves. This is a win for the gambler.
When someone is deeply addicted, gambling begins to control them, making it difficult to distinguish between good and bad, right and wrong. Therefore, a person can feel grateful or disappointed even in a single day when they gamble."

Players at best, would enjoy gambling, had the taste quenched after a couple of wins. The opposite of this is controlling the hunger to win more in players, whenever they win the need to get more arises, thereby fumbling the strength to be in control to a place of no discipline at all.

I have accepted losing is part of gambling, actually I have reached the conclusion than losing is more common than winning when we decide to spend our time on a casino.

I believe people react diferently when comes to winning and losing while gambling mostly because of the fact they assume the casino wishes us to lose our money so they can profit from us, that is why you see so many people blaming the casinos rather losses but they never feel grateful to the casino why they have managed to get a good amount of money from it.

It sounds like a double standard because it is pretty much is a double standard.
Also... Gambling one's favorite casino instead of blaming ourselves for our own choices is rather a sign some people are simply not mature enough to be blaming on the internet... Just saying.

[red4slash]

Some may feel this way but for me personally I feel that as long as I gamble I never feel that I will blame other parties including the site when I lose because for me the defeat happened because I alone did not have luck when gambling.

We can't be selfish in this case when we lose then we must admit the defeat instead of blaming others so that we feel that what we do seems not to be to blame. Thats just an action that shows that we are not responsible for the gambling we do and we should realize that when we lose it is the reality don't make the other party the reason for losing.

It will be funny if we win then we will say that we are lucky and it is on our own results but when we lose then we will blame other parties including the site. If you want to find the target of blame when we lose then we ourselves should be blamed in this case because we still insist on gambling.

[Finestream]

I don't blame the casino whenever I lose because I know such gambling is a just a game of chance and probability. You win sometimes, you lose sometimes, that's the reality with gambling, except for obvious reason if you see it clearly that the game is rigged that's why the chance to win is very impossible.

But majority of the gamblers are still playing the blame game because maybe they are not ready to lose and their expectations towards getting rich with gambling is uncontrollably high. However, gamblers praising luck when they win, that's that nature with gamblers, except for those who claim that its not luck but they're actually capable to beat the house because they are excellent gamblers.

[Hazink]

That kind of thinking was a thing for me when I newly started gambling until I realized that we can't win all the time and the casino is built that way to return little win to us while we lose in most of our games. It's only when I spin more than 50–100 rolls without any single winning can i start questioning the game fairness if not I have accepted the fact that it's our luck against their settings.

It mostly comes down to human nature. When we win, we like to give ourselves credit or say we were lucky, but when we lose, it is easier to blame the casino than to accept that losing is part of gambling. The fact is that every gambler enjoys the excitement of winning, but many struggle to accept losses. If a casino was truly rigged to never let people win, nobody would ever cash out. The reality is that gambling is based on probability and sometimes things go your way while other times they don't. I believe a mature gambler understands that both winning and losing are part of the game.

[Hardyrobust]

I don't blame casino whenever I lose during gambling because I already understand that gambling has two side winning and losing. So the side that eventually showed up depends entirely on a gamblers luck. Although, Gambling seems more to be favouring the casino more than the gambler but this isn't a reason why anyone will blame casino for there losses. It is mostly lack of understanding on how gambling works that push people into thinking that luck should always be on there side whenever they are gambling.

[Churchillvv]

From what I was thought, gambling is bad and is only about losing when I started gambling I already had it in mind that it’s about losing and if I loss it’s because I was supposed to lose, my predictions were not right, that’s why so I don’t have to blame anything or anyone for the failed attempt, so I think it’s based on perspective or personal experience that shapes the way people see the gambling and then shift blames until they start to accept their fate.
