Topic: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? - page 5. (Read 6086 times)

What happens is that most people hate losing and when they lose they always look for a justification for the defeat but always in the justification they don't blame themselves for the defeats, they will blame the person who involved them in gambling, that's why talking about gambling with friends and relatives there is a great risk that one day they will hate you and blame you for getting them involved in gambling. I've seen this, because this type of thing has happened to me. I told my friend about gambling, particularly sports betting. that day I had been right on my sports bets so I told him that I won on the sports betting site, I also told him the name of the site and the amount I won

So he was very interested in starting to make sports bets, I told him everything, I explained to him how I analyzed the games. I don't know if he followed exactly what I told him about analyzing games and watching videos about bankroll management and more about sports betting, so I didn't talk to him for a while. I didn't know that the reason he didn't talk to me for a long time was because the guy was angry because he lost money in sports betting and I was very shocked when one day I meet him and he tells me that he lost a lot in sports betting, the tone of the his voice, it was clear to me that he is blaming me for his losses

If you win, you will not blame someone that help you, so you don't need to blame the person that help you for your loss because is a game of luck and nobody is perfect in the gambling, which you don't allow anybody to deceive you that they are perfect to help you winning all the time in gambling.

That is why we use to encourage some gamblers to make gambling fun so that when you lose, you will not be sad for people to know that you have loss some thing special to you because if you lose today, you can win tomorrow, when you make gambling a fun and you will not blame anybody for your loss.

Winning and continue gambling is the fault of the gambler, when he later lose all in the gambling because you need to take a break from the day when you win, and it will allow you to know some of the games that make you win .

Obviously, there are people who blame others for their losses, but all those kinds of blame are born from a lack of understanding of what gambling totally entails. 

Take, for example, that I am your friend and you are a very old and experienced gambler, while I was just a new gambler, and you decided to give me some of your predictions and asked me to stake on the game with $200, stating that you are very sure that the game will be successful but unfortunately the game got busted. What do you think will happen? Of course, you know I will put all the blame on you for advising me to even stake such a huge amount on one game. 

So, there are reasons why some people blame others for their gambling losses. experience gambling, don't do that. 

Even though what you said is true in that we can definitely know that there will be a lot of traits that a gambler has but in the end we also have to know that when blaming someone or something when losing in gambling is a silly thing and it's childish because they can't make a more decent thought for their age that is legal to gamble.
If that's the case why would they gamble because it's not a question of addiction or not but whether or not they are able to cope with the attitude we have when we are in a gambling situation.

We must be aware that when someone is prepared to gamble in the end they must accept the risk when they lose and whatever the outcome in gambling they must accept it with readiness because it would be very silly when someone is gambling but not ready to lose considering that in the end when we are in a gambling, we should be aware that losing is the most likely to happen.

Of course, every gambler has different characters and thoughts regarding gambling and some people will accept and some will not accept the losses they have experienced. and for people who are addicted to gambling, it is true that what you said is the majority of them who have not been able to accept this incident because what they hope to never get is winning, so many addicts chase this victory by gambling continuously.
And for professional gamblers, they definitely have a good mindset and understanding that losing is part of the risk in gambling, so they assume it will definitely happen and they don't play too much.

Well, there are also some people who gamble without believing in luck which will give them a win, they have their own strategy to be able to win, but in my opinion all gambling has the role of luck which will help them win. I have a friend who may have been brainwashed by gambling so that he thinks that the gambling he does ends up losing, it means saving money, and one day he can get a win that might even exceed the money he lost in the gambling he did. , in my opinion that is not entirely true, each person has their own rights, but we must be able to have limits so as not to get too much hope from gambling completely.
Indeed, in gambling, everything can change, I myself have experienced where I had a remaining balance that I didn't know was left over when I was gambling, and what is unique is also interesting, in my opinion, the remaining balance that I have is only enough for one round with the same number of bets. It's indeed the lowest, I clicked on it on a whim but instead I got a multiplier which could make me win far more than the remaining balance I had. From here I believe that luck does have a big role in slot gambling, but I think it's the same with other types of gambling.

and some people really can't accept their losses, sometimes they are gambling with their friends and other friends give advice but instead the existing balance runs out, sometimes because the person with the balance can't accept the loss he can blame his friend. , but I don't think it's ethical for him to blame other people or his friends. because as I said, luck plays a big role in gambling, because losing is something that is certain to happen when gambling is done.

Yes, because gambling has many risks that must be faced and the use of money in gambling will have an impact on the risk of loss, from this it is clear that every gambler should accept defeat and accept that his money must be lost if he decides to gamble.
We as gamblers have different rights and mindsets, we can determine what we should do and what we should avoid because everything will come back to us regarding the final result.
Many people may provide suggestions, some even try to influence us by providing predictions or ways of playing that are considered good, but we ourselves determine whether it is appropriate or not.
So when something bad happens, such as losing, it is at our own risk as gamblers, even though we follow other people gambling methods.
Blaming other people is the same as not being responsible for our own decisions and of course it is pointless because it will never change whatever has happened.

We really have to realize that, but sometimes we also feel regret when we bet based on a friend's direction, and result in defeat.
Gambling activities are indeed very good for us to do alone. although some people used to gamble in the company of their colleagues. I also sometimes do that, and suggestions from friends sometimes make us follow them.
Even though it's like that, we must remain aware that we are the ones playing and everything is our will. So whatever risk we take, we accept it.

That's right, we have to admit our own mistakes, it's not right to find someone else to criticize or blame because from the beginning no one pushed you to do that thing, not unless someone else forced you to gamble and against your will , but no, the actions you did are your choice, so we should know how to hold accountability for our own actions because the process of acceptance will only be accelerated if you know for yourself that you made a mistake and not someone else.

If we know for ourselves that we are the ones who made the gambling bet, and obviously we are the ones to blame for why we lost, it is not right to blame others for our gambling
loss when we ourselves played and bet on gambling.

So for me, it was right that they were sentenced; they were really lucky because they were allowed to get bail, but what they did was not really right.

Most person and gambler tend to lash out their loses on someone else and for me that's a sign of irresponsibility because before ever you are going into gambling you would have known that the game isn't a game that guarantees only winning infact losing is one of the core results in Gambling so that should be at the back of every gamblers head and not passing blame out on other persons.

Dealing up with pure luck games whether you are a first time gambler or old timer would really be having the same odds on winning up and it would really be that entirely be depending on how lucky you would be on that particular time. It would really be something that not all would really be able to pull it out not unless if we are talking about strategic based games then it would really be an another story.
Speaking about blaming out someone with your loses then its a common newbie behavior specially into their first tries and someone do make out some advises and recommendation on what to bet and how they should bet and on the time that they would be losing that one then those pointing out fingers would be a normal reaction.

This is why it would really be better that you should play with your own rules and with your own choices. You wont really be having that regret just in case you have lost your bet.

Unfortunately, I have an example of a friend who is addicted to playing poker for money. The last thing that happened to him was that he was specially filmed before the game, where he promised that he would not blame anyone if he lost, and as a result, after he lost everything he had with him, he just started screaming and crying and asked for his money back.

If we start because our money is our money and it is not anyone else's, then things are going to change and they are going to be seen from another point of view, therefore if we are playing and taking risks, it is up to us if we listen to someone's advice. , nobody forces us to play like them, others can tell us what they want, but others are others, if I don't Want to follow the advice of others but rather what I think, my intuition then I do it, then that prevents Blame others, you cannot avoid blame if our destiny decision is wrong, that had to happen because it was like that, that is the Way I see this.

Exactly, I don't think there will be any gambler under his normal senses and what to lose his money to casino, even someone who has zero skills to play gambling is aiming to win but outcome is what determine if the person is going to win or his going to lose to the casino. Sometimes, you see people losing games because a team lose their match and out of 20 games, it's the only one that didn't come through but you can't blame the players for that, they all want to win but game is game.

If you can swallow your loss and don't get distracted by anything, didn't blame anyone, didn't blame your choice of selection or skills, sometimes it might be because you didn't cashout, if you ignore this things you will one day win a grand audit from a casino many times.

Absolutely! Accepting the outcomes of our choices is part of being responsible. When we gamble we must be ready to handle both wins and losses gracefully. And its so important especially for adults to set a good example of accountability. I hope this story will teach them


I completely agree with you. Gambling is an individual choice and with it comes individual responsibility for the outcomes. Its all too common for people to seek someone else to blame when things don't go their way. While shifting blame might offer temporary relief it doesn't change the reality of the situation. Recognizing and accepting the results of one's actions is not only part of gambling but a fundamental aspect of mature behavior.

It is not right to blame someone for a game that he loses, because losing is not intentional,no one wants to lose,and as such,If one loses it is something that will cause pain and not happiness.
But sometimes,greed can make someone lose too, because if you have played and won,there is no need of you playing again more to get everything in just a day, anything that makes you play more,there is every tendency that you must lose.Therefore,if one has gambled a day,and he wins,he should try as much as hold himself to avoid playing more,else,losing awaits him.

Not all gamblers think the same, and the behavior of gamblers varies from person to person. Both addicted and non-addicted gamblers can lose, but blaming someone for it is entirely preposterous. Just as it would not be acceptable if I were to blame someone else for one's crime, blaming another person for a loss due to one's own fault is also an act which is never acceptable. But as far as I know professional gamblers or those who have good idea about gambling never bother about blaming others. Because there is no benefit to oneself by blaming others. Rather, bad relations will be formed with the one who will be imposed. People who do such things definitely do not have proper knowledge about gambling.

In fact, not everyone believes in what luck is because they will definitely think that their winnings are purely due to their own skills and learning from their own experience, even though it is actually luck that gives them victory, many do not understand the concept of Luck and Bad Luck in gamblers, as For example, if a person gambles and wins, it is luck for him and for someone who loses at gambling, it is bad luck for him, but that is just an expression and proverb in my view because we cannot define in detail what true luck is, but we know that all wins cannot be separated from the luck I mentioned earlier.

All gambling requires a lot of experience and skill because it is only a starting point to strengthen the bet and in order to win because basically the result is still luck too, maybe we can just take an example, for example, or say when we bet on sports betting where the team is the strongest. losing to a bottom team can be said to be luck for the winner and betting on an underdog or bottom team, in contrast to when you bet on a top team or favorite team you may experience bad luck and defeat.

I think if a person blames someone that he has lost in gambling that he should not be a gambler 
A gambler is not so weak that he starts to cry about losses and blame other people that because of someone else, he faced the loss. He chooses to gamble by his own will, no one forced him to gamble and therefore in case of a loss, he is solely responsible for this.

I have learnt over the passage of time, that you are alone in gambling when it comes to the money in gambling. If you win, the money is yours and if you lose, no one shares or take the responsibility of the loss. The profit from gambling is only for the person gambling and the loss is also for the same person.
