Some people make it look like they were forced to gamble, but I know that you can’t be forced to do what you don’t want to do, we all have the right to choose and reject any offer, so if you decide to start gambling, then don’t blame anyone for that, you should blame yourself for that, because when you were introduced to gambling, you should have just said no and stayed away from it. If a friend asks you to place a particular bet, you have the right to say no, or you can just do your analysis first before placing the bet. If there is any correction that you will be making, then make it before placing the bet. In this life, don’t blame anyone for your mistake, you have to hold yourself responsible.
It's you to decide even there are someone who are trying to push you, but if you don't want to do things then they can't do anything about it, like what you just said, there's no one to be blame when you involve yourself into gambling, it's your money that you use and it's your decision to pick or to play the game that you love playing with, if you lose just take that experienced and never to point finger to someone to mkae excuses with the amount that you lose from your gambling. No one can bring you to gambling and manipulate you, it's your own decision to make so take full ownership of the responsibilities.
