Topic: Have You At Any Point In Time Blame Who Taught Or Led You To Gambling? (Read 1144 times)

That's why people are increasingly seeing gambling advertisements that always appear on their phones. I remember when I opened my friend's Instagram, I saw a gambling advertisement that appeared out of nowhere, and I asked my friend if he had gambled. But he said he doesn't gamble, and the adverts often pop up on his phones. Maybe social media providers need to filter gambling or other advertisements so they don't appear too often on users' phones. And that is what causes them to become curious about gambling, and eventually, many start gambling until they become addicted. This is very unfortunate because they should be able to use their phones properly, but instead, they are trapped by advertisements like that. They must be aware of this so that they learn self-control so as not to be tempted by any advertisements.

It's nice to think that you have this kind of mindset. As a gambler, it's our responsibility when it comes to any circumstances whether you win or you lose, it's all about your decisions and how you handle that kind of situation. Putting the blame to others especially to a person who introduce you in this kind of activity is such an immature way for me. you must be held accountable in anything that you've started or created.

Yes it's true that I was introduced to gambling by my elder brother, but never for once have I blamed him for introducing me to gambling. I think every decision I have made was my choice and I have to live up to it. I www over 18 when I started gambling. My brother told me to see gambling as fun and that's it for me. I know when to gamble and when not to.

To date, I am happy that I was introduced to gambling. I bless the day I was taught. The bed is not always rosy in gambling but as long as the funds used in gambling is a fund that you can spare and you control how often you play especially for football betting you will not run into problems. Those with the mindset of becoming millionaires overnight through betting are always victims of regret and addiction.

The addiction gets to a point that even when games are dicey they still look for a way to stake. Such people are doomed and the blame game will not help out. I remember calling the person who introduced me to sports betting to say "Guy you too much". This does not mean I don't have bad days I have more bad days than the good days but surprisingly I am still sounding this positive simply because I always bet with what I can afford to lose.

To add, if you gamble with strength, you lose more and then the blame game starts. If gambling doesn't suit you anymore you should quit rather than blame the person who led you into it because that isn't a solution.

I won't blame the person who introduced me to gambling. Because even he's the reason why I came to know this addictive game, it's my own decision to continue playing. No one force me, it's my own will. Therefore if the effect of gambling is not good then it's all because of how I gamble and not because of the person who introduced it to me. If you lose, that's your fault for deciding to play despite of the risk. Thus, if you can't bear losing your money much better to refrain from playing.

Blaming a friend who introduce you into betting is only for those who were draged and bathered with sweet words and was introduced into betting. For me I was not introduced into betting by a freind, ii think I just saw the advertisement and I can here the community speak on how this betting platform is and I decided to try on my own free will, at the very beginning it was not going as planned cos I expected much from it due to many testimonies but with time we started blending and if I should take any loss I know is part of the game.
Did you only blame your loss on this your friend or when you win you do same 😂. Of a truth that was being childish as of your teen age because I believe currently you would not do so by blaming anyone for your loss as you now understand gambling better

It is important that we never try to deflect the blame to someone else as this is what many people that eventually develop some gambling problems do, as even if they finally understand they have a problem, they do not want to admit they are the ones that are fully responsible for everything that has happened to them, and they are the only ones that can get solve those problems too, so while I can in a way justify why they are doing this, there is little doubt in my mind that this is not healthy at all.

There is nothing wrong in my opinion, even though your friend has made you gamble, none of that will happen if you don't listen to what your friend says. You took the initiative yourself the first time you gambled with the aim of winning the bet, but losing has made you keep playing because you are obsessed with winning.
Regret always comes too late, but there is no need to regret it because there are consequences that you have to accept because in gambling there are only two possibilities. If you are not ready to face defeat, then never get involved in gambling.

The majority of people now use Android cellphones where gambling advertisements appear when we are opening YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter where gambling advertisements always appear and make us interested in doing it ourselves, even without friends we can find out for ourselves. Even though friends tell us sometimes we already know about it in advance so we don't need to blame other people for the gambling that is introduced unless your friend forces you to do it that's different you can blame your friend for forcing you to do it by force there are also those who keep trying to make the same bet it's bigger that we have to avoid friends like this because they will become devils who will always tempt you to gamble and again it's up to us to react to it. If you don't want to gamble, it's best to avoid friends like this.

For me it's a big NO because your life is your decision. Always remember Gamble responsibly. Taking responsibility for your choices even in things like gambling, is important for personal growth. While outside factors might have an impact, blaming others isn't helpful. Instead reflecting on your decisions and seeking for help can lead to positive change.

And this is something which it is really that inevitable, there's no way that you could really be able to make yourself avoid with those losses whether you are newbie or veteran on gambling then those things
are something which cant be avoided. This is why its never been that good to look at or even just trying to say that it is really just that right on blaming out someone or pointing out some fingers just because
you have lost money with gambling. This is something that do talks about your own decisions because no one is really that pushing you to play but rather you are making those things and steps
basing up into your own decisions or according into your own will.

I didnt come into a point that i do really blame out someone for my loss. It is really just that on my own will on why i do make out some bets but i never ever pointing out
others just because i have lost big time and this is something that would be ethically to be done rather than on whining and crying just because you've been
able to lose big time and this is where things do might be able to kick in.

It will be a childish character,  after learning how to gamble from a friend's hand, I will begin to blame him for it. because he taught me what I am repeatedly doing via losing money and being addicted to it.

If I should be in the situation of blaming him for my gambling habits, I would also blame myself for falling to it, to get hold of me. I will try my best to loosen up myself from it since what I am doing, I do not fancy it other than blame and complaints. By the way, nobody in any way forced me to start gambling, rather I voluntarily started playing it of my own free will.

It's an unreasonable act, to blame someone for something, and the next day you will be on the same thing, partaking in it. I can find myself in such a habit of blaming someone for the things I am doing all the time

Being a fresher to gambling and losing your bets in your first time at the casino or online gambling is to me an essentiality that every new gambler should experience as a caveat that will caution them to know and understand that gambling isn't a game of roses, you are not here to win but make losses however should you get a win at any point in time just take it in good faith.

But when a fresher starts with getting winnings in his bets as he gambles he would be leaving the casino with the reasoning and a frame of mind that that's how it should or would always be as he gambles moving forward. Such persons as they start experiencing losses they find it difficult to control their emotions and action regarding their losses and as @uneng rightly posit they will start chasing the losses and we all know where it all ends when a gambler start chasing a loss.

Till date I still appreciate my first time of gambling, for about two months of more  I never had a single win, days I bet in favour of my favourite team (sport betting) that's when they will lose a game, I was never happy at the experience though but today when I think about it I just smile because that experience made me comprehend that gambling isn't a game of roses.

Actually, blaming oneself when comes to gambling, drinking and other potential addictions is very difficult, easier said than done. Most of the people with problems will continue to perpetuate in them by not acknowledging it. The only few instances someone would blame their situation on the first person who introduced them  gambling, would be if the person introduced is pretty close to rock bottom.
To me, it does not matter how much one has lost to gambling, in the end is how close to the financial ruin which opens one's eyes to reality.

A person in Asia can lose 1000$ and be completely crushed about it, blame his family member who introduced him to gambling. While someone in USA could lose up to 3000$ and still continue to play and feel nothing.

Well, in the things we do within a casino many things can be taken into consideration, first, it is true that a player who is somewhat experienced can realize many things, among them the risks he can assume, and it is just as it is. You say, life is like one of those things that we always decide, so when we see that there are different paths, we must know how to choose, because when we see that things are quite difficult because we have to take on the casualties no matter how big and unpleasant they may be. Sometimes we make decisions that are not appropriate and that has its repercussions and for this reason it is that we must assume it, in this life not only in our cases, in the game things work that way, we should not be so emphatic that we can To do it this way, there are better ways to do it, everything is based on this, of course they are one of the things that we as humans who always make mistakes must learn.

I have seen many people who are always complaining that person I see that someone takes me to a ravine and tells me to jump because he already did it, I'm not going to jump , I say no , but if I jump it's my problem and it's not because the person has taken me to the place Maybe there was some bad intention because he knows that at a time a person can be weak, people can be weak in a casino and do things they shouldn't, like bet all their money and put many things at risk, but That is not the fault of whoever took that person to the casino, because just as they took them to a casino, they can take them to a church or another activity and the person participate for a while and then go from time to time, but if they don't know how to say no It's difficult, because things don't work that way, you have to assume everything.

With technological advances that have developed more rapidly than a few years ago, we will also see advertisements for gambling, and maybe we will also try it ourselves without anyone introducing it to us. So when a friend introduces us to gambling, we should be wise in responding to it and not need to blame him because it is true that the responsibility is entirely in our hands. We have to be responsible if we really want to gamble and don't need to blame other people. Apart from that, we also don't have to gamble if we don't like it because there is a factor of losing money when we gamble. Yes, I agree that we can remain in control when our friends introduce something because they tell us that something, and then we will decide. And if we want to know more about gambling, we must be able to control ourselves so as not to be influenced by what is in the casino. By remaining wise in gambling, we can enjoy it more and will not use gambling as a place to make money.

You are right, this must be avoided, even if we were initially invited to gamble by friends and friends also introduced gambling, it feels like this should be avoided, because it is also unethical if we blame other people or friends. Maybe at the beginning of gambling we made an introduction to gambling, and if there is a feeling of wanting to gamble again it is not the pull of friends, I think it is the pull of gambling itself where we cannot resist it so we gamble again on the basis of our own will so it makes no sense if we blame friends for gambling again.

 After all, if they become addicted it's because of their own doing, like you said, with the beginning just to try or for fun, but over time the motive has changed, no longer for fun but that's how they did it themselves. So it doesn't make sense for them to blame others for what they did themselves.

We ourselves can take advantage of what gambling is like, people introduce gambling because we live in an era where people interact with each other via cell phones and when we gather we are not far from our cell phones, even if other people don't introduce gambling, we will be able to learn it ourselves and when your friend is playing gambling, you happen to know and you want to try to experience the game.
It's natural because we don't live alone, we have friends with different views, there's no need to blame other people if gambling is around your friendship, if you don't follow it you will still be safe, but if you participate in playing, use it wisely and don't get too involved in gambling so that don't cause thing that are out of control, gambling can cause addiction if you get too involved in the fun, so use it appropriately.

To make it short, let the young ones be innocent of gambling. But there comes the problem in this era, you don't need a friend to tell you to gamble because the damn application in Android phones is injecting advertisements with either gambling or sometimes mild pornography in it. I don't know why it is not filtered and the other problem is, that ad blockers don't work there.
Then there's the popular streaming service which also relied on the watch history of their members. If you watch more sports then there's a chance you will bump into betting platforms which I think should not happen. I have been checking my kids' watch histories and I can also see some bad video recommendations when I click them.
This era is very different from when the internet was not yet popular. Now, we have to be aware of what they watch and not just their friends anymore because there's a high chance they will have knowledge about gambling the online way.

Staying true to the initial intentions that led to your gambling habit is a very important and key factor that most newbie gamblers find difficult especially when you are not stable financially, because you have to attain a level of financial stability to make fun out of gambling but when it turns out you aren't stable enough it influences your approach towards gambling.

Financial stability has a lot to do with how well you approach gambling, if aren't stable enough, you will definitely be gambling to probably raise money for your next project or something else but when you have some level of stability derived from your job you could consider gambling as an entertainment you can afford but otherwise you are definitely going to have a change of motive along the lines because you are not at the level to see it as an entertainment
