That's what you call irresponsible gambling. Why would we blame other people for our mistakes? In the first place, we weren't forced to gamble; it was our own will to gamble in a casino, and we agreed to the terms. Sometimes, just knowing the terms isn't enough, being a good gambler we really have to develop a sense of responsibility within ourselves so we don't make mistakes, and worse, get addicted, which could lead to blaming others or, even worse, ruining our family.

From the beginning, we should be able to determine if we can handle the pressure, as gambling is very addictive for those who are emotionally weak.

Irresponsible gambling is the fault of the gambler himself. If by chance, a gambler wins the bet/game out of greed, will he blame anyone or will he share or return the profit to the casino? So why in the case of loss, the gambler blames the casino and wants his money back?
Whatever are the consequences of greed, it is to be borne by the greedy one and in this case it is the gambler who is greedy and no one else should be responsible for this.
Being irresponsible in your gambling activities does not justify shifting blame to someone else or something else on a decision the person made on their own; it's just part of the game, and they should accept it that way. 
 
In this case, I don't even think the guy who predicted the game blamed anyone for adding extra game to his bet slipt, which as a result of that caused him to lose the bet.
 
The OP of this thread is the one who is blaming the gambler for being a gambler who just did what gamblers do best: predict and try out their skill, which I consider totally wrong for the OP to start judging the predicted for his own decision, his own money, etc.
People do love to point their fingers into someone who would really be taken up the blame in speaking about losing money into their gambling sessions on which this is really just that a normal reaction
on which most gamblers would really be showing. On the time or moment that you do find yourself having those losing situation then easing out that frustration and disappointment would really be that indirectly sent out
into other people on which its never been right on doing so. There are really individuals who are really like this and it is really just that sad that they cant really be able to accept their fate when it comes into this aspect.
People would really be that playing no matter what and as long they do have the money and having that kind of aim on playing even more or further until they would be busting it all.

Greed is what make a person would really be pushing up themselves into the limit on which they would really be definitely be having that kind of behavior that trying to make yourself get rich on the time
or moment that you do find yourself having this kind of game. Well, its really that pretty normal that you would really be aiming up for something such as this.
There are ones who are really that responsible into their actions but there are people who are really that becomes delusional into this aspect.

Something happened earlier yesterday in my area and I would like to share it here so we can discuss about it to see if something similar to this has happened to anyone here.

 A brother is a thing that destroys a man in an instant. From my personal life I can say that I was once watching an elder brother playing gambling near me and at first I thought I would not be interested in it. But no later my mood changed and I lost some money due to my greed. Since then I have made up my mind that no matter what I do in life, I will never become addicted to gambling. Not only that, I have met many people who were the most self-sufficient. Then it is seen that they suffer a lot from their past as they are addicted to various types of joy and lose their money there. So you should learn from these.
The important role one who's not ever ready or have any interest in gamble should know is that he should not be closer to anyone that's gambling because the more one is closer to a gambler that how he develops interest on gambe activities.
And again, greed makes a man lose more in everything that he does, ones greed is included in his activities he starts losings gradually. The problem is that greed gives one the believe to think that he will gain more if do things the opposite ways.

Yes, that's most likely what was on his mind, thinking that the amount wagered did not match his chances of winning so he chose to add some games where he thought it was the most appropriate action to adjust, even though in the end adding the option became a trap for himself.

On the other hand, I don't know specifically why he didn't return to his first ticket, but I'm sure that the only right reason is because he gambled by prioritizing greed so that instead of getting a win equivalent to the amount of the bet he brought, what happened was the opposite, where he went home with a zero balance while his friend managed to win big.
It's not actually good to be too expectant on what to earn as a gambler because if he mirror himself down it could had been more better for him to win than hoping on higher amount to win, now he finally lose his entire bet in the name to increase his winnings while his friend has made a big win without him securing any that is why is very bad to be too greedy.

Yes, and of course regret is definitely at the forefront, what we have to understand is that we never know the outcome of the game we choose, and of course ending up with a small amount of winnings is much better than ending up with nothing. As I said that we never know whether our choices will be in accordance with expectations or not, meaning taking too high a risk will only lead us to significant regret especially when defeat occurs.

Therefore, this is why we always recommend treating gambling moderately, the point is not to exceed the limits of ability and this is also the reason why limiting expectations of victory must be done by gamblers, and also the fact that in most cases greed is always the trigger for significant regret.
Yes sure, that's why people most not put their trust in gambling and set a higher hope that something different is going to happen without the need for one to risk. The more someone intend to earn high the more he creates channels for more loses because as I know it's always programed for one to win less and lose much in gambling for to avoid the regret at the later ends people must bring their senses to the right reasoning. How do they reason right, is to entirely eliminate greed while gambling.

It's only when the result of the game doesn't come out positively that people will start looking for means to shift blame to something else. Assuming the extra game the guy predicted also played, there is no time it could have been tagged as him being greedy.
Blaming is always part of the game when gambling. We look for someone or something to put the blame for our losses and being unlucky.

That's one consequence of being greedy and we should be standing on our fault and don't look it to someone because no matter how bad we are on that day.

We shouldn't put the blame to anyone and only point it to ourselves.

There is no one to blame, nor should you blame yourself, even though feelings of regret remain when experiencing losses. By having such an attitude, someone has the potential to enjoy the game more, so that the pleasure of gambling can be achieved. In my opinion, everyone will experience the same cycle, victory, loss, regret, pleasure and even addiction. These are all inseparable parts of gambling, if you are not ready for all the risks, then never gamble. In essence, a gambler should not look for a scapegoat when experiencing losses, because when deciding to gamble they do not need the approval of others, it is purely their own choice. If every time you gamble it makes the situation more difficult or stressful, it's best to just stop.

This is not greed. This is a common habit that most gamblers are involved with: "add or remove some games" from their bets. They can find themselves lucky or unlucky at the end of their bets.

I think this is one of the ugly experiences that one wishes not to encounter in gambling, that a simple act of adding two or three games to their bets denies them the opportunity of being rich for life. That can be heartbreaking to explain or withstand. I wonder how the guy in question will feel about all this each time he remembers this ugly experience. This can leave him depressed for months before he can be able to forget a little of his terrible mistakes of adding little games to his gambling bets.

the consequences of greed are of course losses or misery, when someone gambles and gets a sense of greed of course it will make them experience great losses even though they have made a profit but when they feel greed then it is something that will bring disaster to them, either the profit will be lost or even all the money they have can also be lost.

the thing to consider when gambling is self-control, because when there is good self-control then there will be no sense of greed that will make us experience great losses. greed brings disaster so it must be put aside. that's the key.

In gambling, the problem of winning is always unknown, meaning that regardless of whether your actions tend to be excessive or not, the results are always unknown about whether you will win or vice versa.
Therefore, do not focus too much on winning because it is nothing more than a chance, as you said, do not put too much hope. So of course it is better for us to focus on the possibility of what if we lose, the choice is whether you want to lose a large amount or a small amount, and of course everyone does not want to experience a large defeat.

Therefore, because of this, it is better for us to bet in small amounts, what is feared is when it turns out that luck is far from us, of course your hopes will end in significant regret as experienced by the person told by OP
It all everything depends in the control you do have because not all would really be having that kind of control and discipline because each person does have their own perceptions towards things.
Some could be able to control but majority would really be that losing their cool and becomes that impulsive. On the time that you would really be making yourself that being having no control then this is where shit things do happen. Consequences of greed isnt really just that present on gambling but also in other aspects in life as well. You would really be needing up yourself to be that mindful about the actions that you are taking. Greed is never been good but its not bad to have some targets or goals but you should really be doing it on moderation. The main issue for most people is that on the time that they are doing excessive things
then this is where things becomes that problematic.

The key on here is that you should really know on what you are really that doing. This is why it would really be best that everything should really in moderation so  that you wont really be having any problems.
Gambling for the sake of fun and never ever make yourself that projecting out on how you would really be that making money then this is where issues do really raise up. So better
play for fun and never intent on other things.

It's funny to me, bro. Although he was not actually aware that he was going to win the bet, that's why he decided to add more games. I did agree with you that it was greed because he must not have been satisfied with the potential winning he was seeing there, so he wanted to increase it.I have had this experience of adding more games to my compilation, and it was the two last games I added that made me lose the bet.After it happens to me, I don't usually add all my games to my ticket. If I have already compiled the first prediction, I will stake on it first and still use the code to restake on that same game, but before I do so, I will then add the other games I wanted to add. 

The reason I do so is so that if the first one is not successful, the second ticket will.

Something happened earlier yesterday in my area and I would like to share it here so we can discuss about it to see if something similar to this has happened to anyone here.
Earlier yesterday a dude won 15 million naira on sport bet from a betting shop closer to my area.
How it happened was that the dudes friend gave him a betting code on sport games and the potential winning amount is 15 million naira and the dude played it according without removing or adding any other games.
But what surprised me was that the guy that predicted the game would have played the game exactly how he predicted it but he added some more games and he lost his while his friend won his own (to increase the potential winning amount).
What I want to say is that it's greed that made the predictor of the game to lose his chance of winning 15 million naira instead of winning along side his friend. So have you given anyone a booking code and he won then you lose?
I'll play the devil's advocate here and would suppose that he's not being greedy with that type of setting, instead what he was doing was making sure that his chances for winning are amped by means of putting your eggs in separate baskets. He has a lot of games in his pocket, so when one of them does win he's still going to be able to win shit. What he didn't take into account unfortunately was just how much the losses are going to cost him against his wins, but then again that's something you can easily attribute to blind misfortune and not him being greedy.

What's being greedy is still pushing for more even though you already know you have more than enough. People winning stupendous amounts of money only to end up with a pack of gum after the session cause they think they'll be on a spree is just one of the examples. This guy you're talking about OP on the other hand, is debatable.

There is something I'm trying to get, does he casually win games or he was lucky to help someone win a game today. I think if he has a high number of winning rate, this is not something to be bothered about. What I think is that he was over confidence in his selection and he went overboard and things went hay while the guy who was lucky with initial played it like that, that's not just greed right there but when you are too confidence but indirectly, you are making mistake.

The game wasn't his lucky day and he messup, he can't go back to such position again, he should focus on doing what he does best and improve his strategy, he will win what he lost on that day, perhaps more bigger if he has a good gambling strategy and skills to win money in tte casino.

Gambling is gambling.  People get lucky, people lose.  Blaming greed for someone's decision to add more games to a bet is a bit dramatic.  If they wanted to share the winnings, they would have. Its their money, their risk.  Everyone wants to win big, but the reality is, most people dont.  This isnt some moral dilemma, its just how betting works.
That's just the thing: gambling will continue to be gambling, and there are always two things involved in the game: either you win or you lose, and whatever the result comes out to be, the gambler just has to accept it that way.
 
It's only when the result of the game doesn't come out positively that people will start looking for means to shift blame to something else. Assuming the extra game the guy predicted also played, there is no time it could have been tagged as him being greedy.

It is very hilarious but yeah it could only be greed that would have caused him to loss out in a game he initially predicted if not he added more games, most times it is good for us to have certain level of satisfaction in eat we wish or desire, what he is supposed to have done is to play the game the way he gave his friend before playing another the one he added games, but over greedy wouldn't allow him instead he added more games in order to have a more potential winning than that of the one he gave his friend, to have a little would have been better than having non. Greed in gambling can be very bad even to the extend of making some one to gamble with an amount that he or she can not afford to lose.

It's always like this I think he thought that his potential winning is too small while compared with the amount to be stake so he decided to add more games to boost his odds to give him the exact amount needed by him but unknowingly the game he selected are the architect of his down fall. My concern is that why didn't he bet the first tickets and revert again maybe he may decide to remove or add more games if he felt that he needs more winnings than losing such a life-changing game.

Yes, that's most likely what was on his mind, thinking that the amount wagered did not match his chances of winning so he chose to add some games where he thought it was the most appropriate action to adjust, even though in the end adding the option became a trap for himself.
