Topic: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? - page 26. (Read 6130 times)

If you develop financially like don't give your share to anyone it seems you can't blame anyone for your financial loss be it due to gambling or from any other sector. you have to take full responsibility for it yourself. So it is your responsibility to control yourself.  If you jump into a sector on the advice of others or see other people's development without any personal research and if you panic after seeing someone else's profit in gambling and start gambling without any personal research, then you will definitely face big losses and the responsibility is your own. you can't blame anyone for having to take it. this is only truth

In gambling, we really have to be responsible for ourselves and not use a lot of money to gamble so that we don't lose too much. And when we want to analyze one or several matches, we have to do it ourselves and not depend on others so that if we lose, we don't blame other people. And I agree with you in using our own strategy instead of someone else's because we don't know how good their strategy is. And everything will be our decision in gambling so that we will be wiser.

Because that's what happens to many people. Sometimes I feel it too but other times, I'll turn it down especially if I have other things I'm working on. And for now, I'm trying to spend less time hanging out with friends who often gamble because I don't want to gamble too often. I'm also in the process of reducing my gambling time so I can start saving more money.

Yes, I already feel remorse for losing money at gambling because of a friend's invitation. And I didn't want that to happen again, so I set boundaries with friends. I also don't want to be hostile to my friends just because of an invitation to gamble. I prefer to stay at home doing other things for now.

why should it be uncomfortable when rejecting an invitation from a friend? if that happens to me, of course I will subtly refuse not to gamble because for me when gambling with friends let alone bringing more money of course the money will lose and on the one hand other problems will arise when gambling with friends we can't refuse it and after that your friend's money will run out first and borrow from you but you also feel bad that you finally lend your money and after that you and your friend lose all the money you have.
after that I'm sure you will feel sorry for having accepted your friend's invitation to gamble together but it's okay it will only be a valuable experience and again my advice is to refuse an invitation to gamble it's a bad thing but if you feel bad go gamble with friends you bring money that you have determined can afford to lose with a small amount. don't let us be enemies with friends just because we borrow money to gamble.

It is our own responsibility to control our self in gambling as well as to make good and bad decisions. It is not exceptional for a gambler friend to invite in gambling. But we should analyze that gambling issue carefully. Moreover, since our friend is not the owner of my assets, there is no obligation to rely on that policy. In gambling, some times it is said that it is better to lose with our own strategy. So we definitely consider the advice of others but should give priority to our own decision. Decisions given by others can be accepted but there is no place to blame if we lose.

We can refuse an invitation to gamble from our friends, but most of us feel bad about rejecting it, so we decide to play along. And from there, the problem arises where when we play to have fun instead, we want to get a win which we already know is not easy. And it is our losses that we will bear, while our friends may also bear the same or even greater losses than us. But if we can control ourselves, I don't think we will experience too big a loss because we are just taking the time to gamble.

Indeed, everyone must understand the risks of our friendships over the years because there are bound to be friends who can have a bad influence on us. But surely some friends can give us a good influence. This is where we have to be able to choose who to be friends with and it is our own choice to determine who can be our friend. And if our friends are a bad influence by always inviting us to gamble, we can refuse them for various reasons so they won't invite us again. We determine when we gamble and not because of other people's invitations. Otherwise, we can fall deeper into gambling; when that happens, we will have difficulty recovering.

When we decide to gamble, we already know that we can lose money, even a large amount, especially if we can't control ourselves while gambling. And if we gamble because friends invite us, we shouldn't blame them because they only invite us and we can decide to refuse if we don't want to lose money. It is everyone's choice and others cannot force what they say. But that's what happens when we often blame others even though it's our fault because we chose it. We don't want to understand that they are only inviting and the decision to participate in gambling remains in our hands.

IMO, I think it is unwise for someone not to accept responsibility for doing something wrong, yes you can be introduced to gamble by a friend but it is your right to decide to play or not and when you have decided to pla, since your in for the money the outcome of the encounter should be handled by the player and not the person who introduced them. It is a norm for people to be frustrated when they lose in a bet but it is foolishness for someone to blame another person who didn't waste the money with them of being the reason they lost in gambling because if they have won, the glory will go the the winner and not the person who introduced him or her to gambling.

blaming other people for your bad losses at gambling is clear evidence that have low emotional intelligence, if i meet people like this then i will continue to mock them by calling them "stupid people"

the first rule that must be considered the first time when going to gamble is that gambling is a game full of risks and whatever it is, make gambling only as a medium for your entertainment, so you can accept defeat when it happens, don't ever feel like you are being cheated when you lose gambling because everything happens for the decision you made at the beginning.

This is very terrible for a mother and son to be into gambling to the extent of losing a good sum of money, only to find whom to blame for their losses. This is like eating with the devil and finding the righteous to blame for your downfall. 

The mother and son must be mentally derailed and a joker for them to think of accusing someone with false accusations without thinking that the court won't trace what occurred.

This kind of case should have been treated as a criminal act not by telling them to pay a fine of 150,000. If they have succeeded in their plans, the accused person would have  paid them the said amount they claimed they lost in their Opay account($8k)

As it should be on which it is really just that right that they should really be knowing about the risks on the time that they would really be stepping themselves on the time that they do gamble so that they would really be
that aware that this kind of activity would really be pertaining about losing money in most cases. They shouldnt really be having that kind of confidence that they could make money out of it because this isnt how this
field works because if you do have that kind of perception and assuming that you cant really lose money and instead winning then on the time that reality would slap into your face then you would really be most likely
be blaming out someone on what you have done or on the time that you do lose money which is something that you shouldnt really do in the first place. We know that gambling is for fun and winning is really just
that a bonus on the entertainment that you had get which supposedly your main thing that you should mind on rather than on having an income.

Your stance sketches an idyllic portrait of personal accountability, implying that everyone should comprehend the perils of high-risk activities. However, it downplays the impact of societal and peer pressures, which can wield significant power among friends. Differences in self-awareness and emotional maturity make some more vulnerable to troubles like gambling. Moreover, the idea that sidestepping gambling hotspots can avert losses fails to acknowledge that gambling is no longer a physical space issue. Online casinos have made gambling a constant possibility, accessible anywhere, through our smartphones. To promote a balanced mindset, we should shift our efforts towards risk awareness and bolstering emotional resilience and discernment to withstand harmful influences.

That's right. Most gamblers who lose often blame their friends who invite them to play because of their losses. Even though we know that for any loss we experience, we should be responsible ourselves, don't pass it on to other people. It's true that we are invited to play by friends or whoever it is, but it's us who want it, we can just refuse and there's nothing wrong with that. That's why every loss in the game is our loss, no need to blame other people.

Our friend should already know the risks that playing gambling can cause the loss of money, so he must be aware of it by not using a lot of money to gamble. It is the responsibility of each of us to take care of ourselves and not play gambling if we don't want to lose money. We also don't need to follow them to the casino if we know they will be there, so we don't lose money. That's what's better for us and they also don't have to feel guilty for asking us to gamble. Our relationship will also be fine and there will be no problems because we understand each other among friends.

Absolutely.

Everyone in your life can suggest you things, but ultimately the one that makes the decision and takes all the consequences is you. So, it makes sense to only blame yourself, as that actually is quite powerful, you have the power to shape your life to whatever you want, and if you made a mistake, you can correct in in the future. If you did something right, you can do more of that in the future, etc.

Blaming others doesn't give you that power. It only makes everyone feel worse off, including yourself.

Some people are still with baby mindset that they would always wanna find a way to blame people surrounding them for their misfortune as a way to feel alright, as that has been their own way of getting things out of their mind. But that's isn't the  right way to do things as such could create a feeling of guilt among your clique. For the fact that I invited you to tag along with me to the gambling house and you got there with me and decides to gamble and loss doesn't mean I should chest the blame, your indiscipline cost you your loss. I only said escort me bro.

Learn and improve? These words are not familiar to the heroes of the story told by OP. They only crave easy and fast money without putting any effort into it. It is entirely expected that after their gambling failure, these people try to cheat to make up for it. It is in the nature of such people to shift responsibility to others. The examples of these people should be an edification of what gamblers don`t need to be.

Blaming others is not usually the right attitude to have in gambling or anything else really. Sure, some things might actually be other people’s fault, but by blaming them instead of figuring out how YOU could have had a different outcome will keep you from learning and bettering yourself. Always look at what you could have changed.

Self-introspection and always learning from mistakes are the most important things for gamblers so they don't think that their losses are caused by other people.
But sometimes a gambler doesn't realize this and can't accept his own mistakes that make him lose when betting.
There are lots of suggestions and input given by other gamblers so that we can always be responsible and willing to accept defeats that occur so that bitter experiences can make a gambler wiser in the future.

You are not the only one who has this attitude, because I believe that every gambler can accept defeat and some cannot accept defeat. So yes, both sides will of course always exist in gambling but indeed, if gamblers cannot accept defeat then they can never accept reality and only dream of continuing to win. But in my personal experience so far, winning at gambling will still be difficult even though it's only gambling in sports betting, which basically, there is no system that can manipulate.

I have heard people speak in this manner before and I also subscribed to this idea until I figured out that fun can also lead to addiction. A police man who lives close to me also finds it fun to gamble. He never had a good knowledge of it but was able to make his first win on a second trial. Had it been he lost on the first 6 trials he will see it to be a game of no returns but He found it fun because he won.  He enjoys giving a trial on week ends when he's chances until a day he had little.  He was so in need of money that the last option was gambling so he tried his best. To be surprised he won. But went ahead investing half of it which didn't work for him. He can't blame anyone for that and secondly, he started it for fun and later addictions. So fun can as well result in addiction.

I couldn't disagree more. We shouldn't be doing this profit-oriented, we should be doing this fun-oriented. Because if you are having fun then it doesn't matter if you win or lose, I have seen plenty of people who had fun while losing as well and yes I know that might sound weird for everyone who are profit-oriented but if you had a lot of fun while gambling that was the important thing and there are a lot of people who do.

This is why it is quite important to make sure that you end up gambling with fun on your mind first. I have been doing this for over a decade now and I am quite happy with the end result because it is a hobby of mine that gives me so much joy on my free time that I can relax and rest after a long day of work.
