Topic: stop the unnecessary blame on gambling whenever you get unlucky - page 12. (Read 2213 times)

You're right - most gamblers are naive people who dream of making a big score and change their lives in an instant. Except that they do not want to realize that it will not be possible to do this for everyone. Although on the other hand I somewhat understand their naivety, because having in your pocket $100, you can find a dream. Let it be temporary, but it warms the soul and heart, which is often lacking in people. The only thing is that this dream can also be quickly shattered when your account runs out of money.

Frustrations, of course. Maybe it is the gambler's way to ease it by blaming or displacing the negative feeling from losing to the game itself. Everyone's aware thaat there's a tendency for us to lose our bet but why do we sometimes, if not often, tends to transfer the hate? Simply because we regret things and that we want to release our emotions and feelings of desperation. Unfortunately, it will just continue like a cycle and you will never learn from it unless you accept losing and to not bet that much next time. For sure, if the amount you lost is tolerable, you won't be in such situation because things will still be fine especialy with your finances. We just have no full control of our luck, therefore being preventive of extensive loss is a must to avoid regret afterwards.
If anyone forced you to gamble, then he/she is the one to be blamed. Are there any? for sure no other than ourselves took the initiative to do so. Other than acceptance with unwanted outcomes, there's no other thing to do. No one is to blame even yourself; you just have to accept that things do happen in gaambling, both desired and unwanted consequences. If you know to yourself that you cannot handle the stress this activity is giving on your end, then you better quit to save yourself from those negative reactions. Gambling is open to anybody of legal age but a good future won't be for everyone just because they wanted it.

You have classified two kinds of gamblers regarding how they treat their gambling loses, that is the class that admit that they take lost and hope for another day and the class that they shouldn't have made the mistake to lose. So this last set of class are the one that will lose more because they will continue trying and keep blaming themselves for the loses hence will want to try again and vow to themselves not to make sure mistake again but failing to understand that it is not just working for them to win on such days. Those who lose and walk away get properly prepared to win at the next trier.

I get your point @Hanadawa however in my statement I wasn't tagging gambling as a form of investment, but rather making a comparison for those that take it as a form of investment, if you research deep you'll understand that they both involve committing a certain capital with expectations of making profits, although gambling is more riskier cause once the event you bet of ends the gambler stands a chance of making profits or loosing completely based on their decision on the event. While stock investment can be very rewarding over time interval, however it's not totally risk free just that gambling is more riskier.
 If you really care about those bettors, you should atleast try to convince them to decist from seeing gambling as a quicker means of getting money, it's not a get rich quick or ponzi scheme but should rather should be seen as a means of entertainment that could fetch them a fortune maybe out of luck or good gambling skills. If they got the skills, fine good for them but if not they should decist from the act and apply the risk managements of gambling.

Firstly, gambling is not an investment. It's a game where you will lose and win. Investment is you putting your money in places/items that can make your money continue to make money. And you can't say you invest in gambling games.

Secondly, you say they should have considered the consequences. Some gamblers I know think they can make money from gambling and get rich quickly. Get rich instantly. They are willing to spend their money just to bet in the hope of getting the jackpot. So in my opinion most gamblers don't understand and can think carefully about what they are doing.

You would be surprised how things work actually, in this life of ours there are certain things that we all ought to know that is good but at the same time we still fail to do them reason being centered on the fact that we fail to reason that particular actions at the very climax of things and tend to do the one that might end us all on regrets and this is the funny part we all still others to blame when this happens, it's just a common thing for everyone.

Indeed, if seen from this point of view, when someone understands the game of gambling, there should be nothing to regret and must accept that they are indeed unlucky, but why are there always so many people who complain and regret the gambling they have done even before they knew? that winning and losing are certain in gambling.

among them are making wrong decisions, using money they cannot afford to lose and playing with ambition to win which makes a person forget what he knew about gambling and games before he decided to play.

I'm sure no gambler doesn't know that they will lose their money. gamblers know the risks and clearly know the chances of winning or losing. but they still decide to bet, so there is nothing to regret about gambling activities.
If the impact of gambling is too bad for a gambler, then it is not the gambling that should be considered bad. This is a game, if you misinterpret it then it is the gambler's fault.
Casinos indeed offer winnings as part of promotions. but the win is still based on luck. so if we are not lucky, then we have to accept defeat.

Life indeed isn't balanced!!

Like the famous saying, one man's meat is another man's poison and true to this, gambling has made wins from small amounts and these guys are set for life and for the losing party all I can say is greed is the father of all ruined lives!!!

Otherwise let's all treat gambling to be based on pure luck..more like 1% skill and 99% luck and this will save many of us from depression, denial and revenge gambling!

Honestly, it's 50/50 for me I have lost big before and won some big tournaments from it and can't really complain...only regret is the 1 BTC prizes I won several several years ago win BTC was under $500 and if I was holding by now would have be laughing all the way to the bank with a new Lambo.

Rationally, that would be the right thing to do before making every decisions in life, however, the reality is different, because many people act by impulses and momentary desires they feel on the present moment, without measuring the potential consequences of their acts. These are considered irresponsible, immature, unstable individuals who will always find someone to guilt for their own personal mistakes, so they never feel bad about themselves.

And it's even more common among the new generations who don't accept following rules, traditions and want to do everything on their own way, consequently failing in the end, because they didn't listen to wiser old people who are more experienced in life and have already passed through many ways the youngs are knowing only now for the first time. Even worse is the fact these generations are arrogant, so they never apologize and admit their mistakes, causing the "blame game" you mentioned in your post.

Now you might ask, is there a solution for this social problem? I think at some point life teaches these people how to behave in a decent manner towards their pairs, accepting their responsabilities and consequences for their own acts. Although while they don't get conscious about it, the tendency is that things keep getting worse in their lives until they finally learn and improve.

Yeah, every one is believed to know the good and bad side of whatever decision they want to take in life and in gambling you're entitled to any decisions you want to take because it's your money and you work for it so you can choose whichever way you want to go about it no problem but a situation where you know the complexity of your job and to be spending it on gambling even when you don't win is a very bad habit because if you truly know what you're passing through before you receive your salary i believe you wouldn't be happy to be wasting money just because you are desperate of winning.

 A gambler needs to understand that gambling is associated with risk and winning is by luck not by force so a situation where one can't actually control their gambling habits then what ever consequences that comes along with it you would have only but yourself to blame and moreover, you have been advised but yet you choose to give a deaf ear so you should be ready to bear the brunt alone when the consequences arises.

Its a good site for a gambler if he doesn't always imagine himself in terms of winning. Because a common complaint among gamblers is that they lose. Gamblers who can embrace the humanity of losing can manage to gamble successfully in the long run. A gambler who takes losing easily can never blame gambling. They rather try to find their faults there. Gambling involves winning and losing. Most of the time the losses will outnumber the wins. I think that simply accepting this defeat will reduce such type of blaming attitude.

More precisely, there is absolutely no certainty whatsoever that can guarantee your victory at the end of the session, of course the result at the end of the session is always about two things, namely winning and losing, if you want to win then of course you have to be really lucky but the problem is whoever will never know when they will be lucky because luck always cannot be predicted when it will come and when it will go, and this is the reason why it is highly recommended for anyone not to put hope or even chase victory in gambling because it is too unreasonable unless occasional wins.

On the other hand, yes, you have explained the scenario that if we push too hard to win, it means that there will be a lot of trials and the lack of certainty in gambling will make us experience more losses than wins because it is impossible to get lucky. streak. Therefore, becoming a responsible gambler is more recommended. You can become a responsible gambler if you are basically able to understand the real concept of how gambling works.

Winning while gambling is just depends on the probability so we never know when we will win and when we will lose, gambling can indeed give money that can change life into a fortune but it doesn't mean one who gambles should aim for that because it is an incident that is totally unpredictable and happen rarely than a loss so just understand the fact if you bet 100 bets in luck based game then you may win 10 bets and loss 90 bets or it can be totally other way that is why we call its game of luck.

Blaming the form you are doing even when you know these facts, then its wrong or you are just ignorant about gambling and still chose to do it which is also wrong.

We do gambling by our own choice. No one forced us to go gambling and we knew that profit and loss, is a part of gambling. So in case we loss any amount in gambling, there is no use to blame the gambling site. Also, gambling sites will not refund us the money in case we start to blame them. For us, gambling is just a game, for them (the gambling sites) it is the business and all the win by the gamblers is a profit for them.

I do not understand why people start crying after they lose their hard earned money in gambling. If the money is so crucial to them, they should have limit their gambling activities so that they do not lose much amount. Even if they lose more, they should be using only that money which is not so crucial for them. Playing the blame game will not recover the loss and also it will only create frustration in the gambler.

Everyone has their own ways of thinking but mind you, your way of thinking might be wrong, it doesn't mean it's wrong to believe in yourself but when something is too easy you should be curious why, gambling isn't for everyone, it's not a dream land or a wish granting wardrobe, going into a casino, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? That you are going to be lucky? There is no different sun that will arise to make you believe that it's yet another one of those luck days for you.

Gambling isn't to be blamed for your loss, it's you that want to make money the easy ways, and any way ways if making money comes with greater risks, you need to then learn how to manage the risk well or you risk paying for the price, hard working is exchangeable for money, but luck to money should be obviously way harder than anything.

I don't deceive myself when gambling like many people do, that's why I am always surprised when I win money unexpectedly, it feels way better because I don't risk too much and at the same time I am not expecting too much either.

I don`t think putting good use of the money won from gambling has anything to do with grace. Saying it takes grace is like relating it to some divine force and making it seem like it requires force to make proper use of gambling money. I don`t support that. To me, it`s about self-awareness and rationality. Self-awareness creates the consciousness and discipline necessary for utilizing gambling money properly. Even this discipline doesn`t start after a win but even during a stake. That is gambling in a way that you don`t run into problem gambling.

It should be known too that not every winning can easily be used for investment. For instance, can someone who stakes $10 and then wins $70 think of investment? sincerely, if it`s me, investment wouldn`t come to my mind because what kind of an investment can be done with $70? but then, If I win above $5000, I will make better use of the money. So, investment solely depends on how much was won.


Yeah, it is so easy to lose in gambling because, by nature, gambling is a game of probability. In my opinion, the only certainty in gambling is that you MUST lose. Winning is never guaranteed. This is enough reason to put money won from gambling into good use. No one has ever played gambling to get ruined by it. So, why let this be the reality? Regardless that gambling has helped some persons, gambling has negatively affected others also. Some lost houses, cars, relationships, prospects etc. and that is why I concur that gambling is not for everyone. Know if it works for you and if it doesn`t quit.


Gambling brings joy, riches and satisfaction to some gamblers and gamblers who attach greed to the game will always run into revenge gambling and when they are unlucky, they blame it on gambling. There is no need for blame games. Gambling works for you if you want it to. So, whether we see gamble from a positive or negative angle depends on the gambler. This can be likened to individuals who went to school but didn`t make it, their inability to graduate doesn`t make going to school bad.

One of the most common behavior of a losing gambling is that they would really be always loving on pointing out their fingers into someone or even into the platform itself that it is really that unfair or someone
who had told them to play on on which it is really just that a very casual.Some do play really just that for fun but most people would really be playing for the sake of money.On the time that they wont really be able to control their emotions then they wont really be stopping on playing until the very last money that they do have on their pockets or accounts. Gambling is really just that a matter of luck and this is really just that good for entertainment and if you are that someone whose really that going after for entertainment then you wont really be finding yourself that being that too desperate but if you are someone who do really goes after
for making money then getting impulsive would really be the main feelings or emotions or behavior that you would really be having on the time that you do gamble.

Infact you just defined what gambling is, you said that it's an expensive hubby, and I totally agree with you, anybody that is going into gambling whether for fun or as a business should understand that it's where you will put your money and may not have any profit in return, therefore in that regard it's not a cheap hubby or business. So anybody that is going into gambling needs to be very well informed about how it works, that you have more chances of losing your money in it than winning. A major factor in gambling is luck, it does not guarantee that after staking that you will win, so if you blame gambling for your lose, then you're indirectly blaming your ignorance for not being knowledgeable enough to understand that gambling is a game where you will either lose or win.

We know already that gambling is not bad, just an activity for fun that is usually abused by people because they fail to control themselves. People gamble for fun, and it has lots of health benefits. Lucky people will never be found blaming gambling, only unlucky people do. If you also check out from the lifestyle of these people, you notice that complaining and passing blames is just a part of them, they are also casting blames and complaining about other things in their life. People who take responsibility, and although they become gambling addicts will hardly blame gambling for their problems but blame themselves for not controlling themselves with gambling.
