Topic: Have You At Any Point In Time Blame Who Taught Or Led You To Gambling? - page 7. (Read 1056 times)

Sometimes I do that whenever I lose a big amount but I also thank him when I win a big amount that was now I have learned to move on and be responsible for all my actions, you need to be mature in gambling or people will call you childish if you keep blaming other people for something they recommend to you when you have the decision to decline or refuse to play.
Hopefully, I will win a life-changing amount and I will give the one who introduced me to gambling he is my cousin so he is part of the family and he can take my joke of sometimes blaming him.

I'll tell him jokingly so he doesn't feel hurt because he invited me to gamble. This is so that it doesn't have an impact on our friendship, where if we blame our friend too much for introducing us to gambling, it could cause the friendship to break down. But if I have experienced losing from gambling and I hate myself if I lose, I will try not to gamble too often. I still gamble but try to reduce my gambling activities so that I don't lose too often. We also shouldn't blame him for doing that because maybe at that time, he was just inviting us to have fun by gambling. We were actually wrong because we followed what he said, so we should introspect and improve ourselves.

It really took me a lot of time before I went from knowing that gambling was a thing to actually doing it, and by that time there was no way that I could convince  myself of using that excuse as I knew gambling was my own decision, however it does not really surprise me if there is a lot of people out there that think like that, since it is way easier to blame someone else from their problems than to try to fix them by themselves.

I didn't like gambling since childhood. Besides, nobody likes gambling in my area. Although many are secretly gambling. I had a good friend whom I loved very much. Because he always showed me the right path. But suddenly I noticed that he was gambling. Then I was quite surprised because a man like him would gamble which I never imagined. I used to walk with him. Sometimes he shared his winnings with me but never asked me to join gambling. But sadly, the truth is that I gradually became addicted to gambling. I also started gambling  like him and it is still on going. I have gambled and when I make a big loss, I sometimes scold him in my heart. Because he involved me in gambling indirectly.

Even if someone were to introduce gambling to me, I would never blame that person. Holding others responsible for our choice to gamble and the subsequent losses is an act of irresponsibility and a sign of immaturity. The mere fact that we choose to engage in gambling indicates our awareness of the risks and our willingness to accept them. Blaming someone else is senseless; it reflects our reluctance to acknowledge our own failures or losses.

Blame or not, there's nothing that would changed because you are the ones who do make out such step or decisions and this is why you would you dont have no rights on blaming someone
on what you have been experiencing as of this moment. There are no other should be blamed on but yourself. You are the ones who is responsible on such action on which it is really
just that right that you are the ones who would be blamed. No one did really force you to gamble in the first place. Yes, someoneone had taught you about gambling
but doesnt mean they are the ones who is responsible of your losses, you do make the actions then there's no one you could be able to blame.
It is really that shameful if you do freak out someones name just because you do lost.

I have never had the thought of blaming anyone regarding the gambling activities that I have done until today and this is all a choice that I have chosen to do and even though I have experienced a bad past regarding my gambling activities, I have not had the slightest thought of blaming other people. otherwise it is something silly whereas I did my first gambling when playing slot machines when I was still at school I wanted to do it myself without encouragement from anyone.

so, whatever happens in this gambling activity, I dont want to blame anyone because something we have chosen is something we have to bear the risk ourselves.

and for anyone who has thoughts of wanting to blame other people when they regret their gambling activities, remember that something you have done is a risk that you have to bear yourself, which does not mean that other people are to be blamed.

Never that I will blame someone that thought me about how to find happiness , and every wrong that
 I made is from my own decision and nothing to blame others , also It is my curiosity that brings me to gamble as I am the one
who ask a friend how this is and what is this so when he gave me trivia and understanding? yeah  that is the beginning when
 I play and win(of course winning in the beginning and losing to follow).
sometimes Gamblers are just looking for someone tp blame because they cannot admit their stupidity in
 making wrong decisions specially when they are losing and having no wins at a time.they are wanting to put the blame to others
to free their guilt away of their own mistakes.

You shouldn't blame your friends for introducing you to gambling. If your friends don't tell you, you can find out from other people even though you yourself were interested in gambling from an early age, which made you have to lose your pocket money to gamble.

I myself have never blamed other people for the gambling that I have experienced, because it was purely my own fault for taking part in gambling, but I enjoyed it and didn't lose a lot of money from gambling so I don't blame anyone. Even though I experienced a loss, I still don't blame anyone because I can control myself Yes, I'm not someone else, so if you yourself are familiar with gambling but can't control yourself then you will continue to face difficulties.

First of all I didn't learn gambling from anyone but if I learned gambling from someone then I wouldn't abuse the person from whom I learned gambling because he certainly didn't force me to gamble. How logical it is that there are many people who learn something from others and when they do not succeed and they suffer, they blame the person from whom they learned the work. No one forced me to come and teach me work, but I was encouraged to learn work from him after seeing him work, now surely he did not make a mistake by teaching me work. We need to get out of the mindset that I lost so much money today because he taught me how to do something. Try to find your own faults instead of blaming someone else who has taught you what is causing you money loss. There must have been something wrong in your learning and application.

Blaming other people for the gambling activities that we do will never be able to restore the situation and when we blame other people it will not provide any benefits because what remains is hatred and feelings of displeasure towards other people.
Things like this will worsen the atmosphere and can even create mental stress on ourselves.

I personally gamble not because of other people encouragement or other people invitation but because of curiosity that suddenly arises when I see people in the neighborhood where I live gambling in place or house at night.
Here where I live, gambling has become commonplace, although not everyone likes it, but we still do this activity almost every night for the past dozen years, and now the ban on gambling is getting stricter making us play or bet online.
I remember very well when I saw several people including my own friends taking part in the card game they were playing, at first I wasn't very interested but over time I started to get curious and tried it.
After some time I got to know betting shops and also several places that also provided games for betting and from here I started to feel passion for gambling.
From here, I myself am actually guilty because when was teenager I hung out with friends who had passion for gambling and all of this was the result of wrong relationships and mistakes in building my personality.

It's interesting you didn't blame the other gambler, similar story like myself. But, I didn't try immediately, due to some barriers like funds. If at the period, I tried and won like you did. I'd definitely feel very happy. Was it your first time making money? Your action seemed very naive, as you didn't think anymore and thought gambling is as simple as winning on your first stake. In some situation, if the player had more money, he won't quit. The fun would be gone by then, meaning business would be his next action. He could make the worst mistake of his life. Imagine, if the allowance hadn't ended, the house would've taken more. Such example, explain the importance of setting money aside for gambling. Wagering with all the money we've got isn't advisable. As regret must follow. The house takes everything, and it's normal with gambling.

There's always a person to be blamed at every "ugly end" ...
If the person involved is actually a big benefactor, he'll definitely not complain about being an addict - the adverse would be the case.

I think some peeps are always feeling entitled to whatever greed and urge factoid that'd make Thier addiction strive.., not necessarily the person that linked them in at first.

i knew about gambling from my friend but i never blamed him for telling me about gambling, i never regretted it, in fact now i can manage my gambling well, i refuse to say he was guilty because he made me know about gambling, it's not good to blame other people, you gamble completely because of your own decision, not because other people continue to intimidate you, so make peace with the situation and improve it for the better ^{(try not to fall into the trap of becoming a gambling addict, and gamble with full  responsibly)}

Maybe I was lucky and never had such an influence, but rather stumbled into it myself which perhaps led to it not being so addictive. There is so much content and gambling sites out there now, with so many different sources of advertising, that it's quite possible for people to bump into this without anyone else directing them there. However personally I'd never share or encourage anyone I knew to do it if I was there with them. Just because there is the potential to lose so much money and it can draw out certain addictive tendencies, plus people often feel bad after the initial rush subsides. Knowing that gambling sites will often throw a few wins to people at the beginning is an illustration of how manipulative they can get.

I was totally innocent about gambling until one of my friends taught me about this. Well, at first was happy because the time I tried, I was lucky that I won some and so I said to myself that there is easy money in gambling. But all the happy moments ended when the situation turned the opposite as I continued gambling, not a single bet I placed had won anymore and very unfortunate that all of my allowance had been lost already. That was the time I realized that gambling doesn't make you money if you are hungry already to win and even blamed myself.

If i ever did that, I will laugh at myself for being immature and for how childish I was. Even if I was led to gambling by another person, it is now my fault that I selected to continue gambling and not stop at the time when I could, and at the time when I was been inducted into making it a regular thing to do. The  person who led you to gambling may have good intentions for it, like wanted to show you a way to have fun, or a way you could get some money while having fun. Going to confront and openly blame these people for your problems will only make then never want to share some other better opportunities with you even when they know it will be good for you and your future.

I don't think you are the only one guilty of using childhood allowance to gamble. Though, mine was well spent on playing play station games and we do bet between players. I lost on many occasions but believe me when I say I remember every moment of it, I enjoy every mokery and jest of me because it was fun. There is no way I would back to those moments because I can now sit in the comfort of my home and bets on what I feel like without informing anyone of what I do.

I understand that kids don't know what they do sometimes but I haven't for once blame anyone of my gambling addiction. I don't watch football before now, I use to even mock my area boys because if it's not final and national matches, I don't put interest but Real Madrid change everything since 2013 and I have been a fan and gamble when I feel like playing, I don't think I have regret anything gambling because I have never risk what I need and I don't think I will ever.

No body likes losing and it is natural to feel bad when you lose especially if you have staked a big amount but on my own case I didn't have anybody introduce me to gambling. I learnt by myself so I don't blame anybody in terms of loses. I don't even blame myself  because I know it is a game of chance and either you win or you lose the bet. So no worries from me if I lose.

NO, because I do not follow everything people around me do. Before you start doing something, you need to observe how such things have been helpful for those people that are there. Before you do that, you will decide whether to join them or not, however you join to gamble. I think it’s your choice. You don’t have to blame anyone since nobody forced you to do it. He may only introduce you to it but didn’t say you must do it, so it’s left for you to choose whether to engage yourself in it or not because the gambling you are seeing has something that still surprises me. You may see someone winning gambling; you’ll think that's how it is, and it’s not so, mate. I think you shouldn’t blame him again, or if you see gambling is not for you, you can just quit.

However, nobody taught me how to gamble, though I found out that by myself, I only saw some of these online influencers advertising gambling sites, and I visited a link that was provided in their profile. That was how I started gambling, and till today, I’m still gambling. People around me know, and I haven't introduced anyone because I always think about the outcome of it, like if I introduce someone and they lose gambling, they may blame me, and I won’t say anything because I was the one that told them about it.
