Topic: stop the unnecessary blame on gambling whenever you get unlucky - page 13. (Read 2235 times)

gambling is actually just an activity that is easy to understand and an enjoyable activity for those who know how gambling works and can understand what things to avoid.
It's just that, nowadays most gamblers fail to understand gambling and they only think that gambling is a place to make money or a place to double money.
on the one hand, those who think like this are the first signs of gamblers who will regret it when their savings run out and start blaming other parties, such as blaming the gambling party or blaming other people.
In this case, of course we will often see many gamblers who are very happy and throw a party when they get a big win but they will cry and get angry blaming gambling when a losing streak drains their savings.

I always have the same advice as usual if you really want to be a healthy gambler without getting bad effects, try to keep pressing our minds to understand that gambling will not give us large amounts unless we are lucky and luck will not be obtained every day but only once a lifetime (big luck)
and also always teach our own minds to think that gambling is a business to provide benefits to its customers with pleasure and will provide monetary profits for the casino owner.
so you don't need to bother spending excessive amounts of money, but gamble with a budget that you can afford to lose and still limit the budget and number of bets.
enjoy every game, think of it as just a game of luck.

It is normal human nature to always try to shift blame when something doesn't go as intended or planned and same thing applies when it comes to gambling. Many a time, when some gamblers lose stakes they end up attributing blame in one way or the other however it is of no use. More experienced gamblers in same situation also feel the pain of losing but accept the fact that they lost.
Refusing to accept the fact that one lost a stake based on your personal decision can cause such person to possibly make mistakes in their next stake making them to lose.

Consciously, people who gamble should have agreed to the risks of the gambling they are doing, but after they make mistakes and lose, it actually makes them forget about the agreement they agreed to at the start, that's why every gambler who experiences defeat will never want to stop playing gambling because they don't want to experience defeat and lose money so they try to recover all their losses with the remaining money they have even though it will make them poor and bankrupt in the end.

Every gambler will definitely make mistakes and also experience defeat, therefore it is important to instill it in our mindset when gambling that in gambling there are not only wins but also defeats which must be understood, accepting the reality that when you experience defeat there is no point in blaming yourself, let alone other people. Other than that, whatever has been agreed at the beginning before playing gambling, you definitely have to accept the final result, even if it is disappointing and you lose money from gambling itself. I also hope that those who gamble really understand that when they lose, what they have to do is limit each budget and always bet. Use unused money so you don't complain after losing. 

You are right, if you know what you are going into you should be fully prepared and things will go fine for you, but OP, do you know that there are some serious gamblers that are responsible and they never get lucky with gambling?

The good part is gambling failed to ruin them, because they stick to their strategy of using few dollars on gambling.

Gambling can't be blamed, it's people that are surrendering to their greed with gambling, I as a person, gambling can never hurt me because I am never going to give more than I can afford to gambling all in the name of I could get lucky.

It's either you never get lucky in gambling and you are still doing well in life or you are not lucky in gambling and you are doing all you can to get lucky, which I believe that the latter idea will get you in serious trouble, if luck doesn't find you, don't desperately look for it.

And it's a bad sign of gamblers upon losing, are blaming everyone if they are unlucky, it could be on how they cope. But still we should be man enough to admit to ourselves that there's no one to blame here but ourselves on the bad consequences.

So we have to think again if we have to gamble the next time. That if we losses, we should exit the screen, or if we a playing online, go home empty pocket but then just be quiet and plan our next move. Maybe to play again or just simply stop for the time being.

I experienced both what Mr. A and Mr. B experienced so I don't play the pointing fighters or the blame game.

Yeah, I also hate those who blame gambling for their own mistakes. It's a simple rule, you play with risk and be sure that you are ready for the consequences because you either win or lose and it's up to you.
There's always the other choice, don't gamble at all. That way, you neither win or lose.
Gambling sites will always be rigged, it's a business, not a charity. They cannot just give away money to people while they are enjoying the game. Imagine if every player is a winner. I don't think we should call that gambling.
There's another choice to have a higher percentage of winning, sports betting. If you know your sports then you will definitely have a high chance to win a bet and I've seen a lot of gamblers do that.
Casino games are where most gamblers lose, and get rekt, this is where they play the blame game, it's because they are playing against the house, unlike sports betting where you are guessing who will win or lose.

People should not have to scream because they think that gambling is destroying them. If they can use gambling properly, their lives will not be ruined and they can still enjoy gambling as entertainment. We don't need to blame gambling because gambling is neutral and depends on each person who uses it. If we use gambling excessively, we will get bad effects from gambling where we will lose money and not be able to buy anything or meet our daily needs. Those who complain that gambling has had a bad impact on them need to check their attitude towards gambling. If they find that they have used too much money, that means the fault is theirs because gambling never told them to gamble using a lot of money. Because of their own greed, they have to correct their mistakes by trying to control themselves and be disciplined and responsible when playing gambling.

This is why the government ensures that you reach a certain age before you gamble and do some other adult things. This is for you to make an informed decision at that age, not the one that they make for you, and if someone could decide to gamble as an adult, that is his decision and not another person's decision, so why blame another person or try to shift the blame? As an adult, you should know your right from your left and wrong from right, and if you make any decision, you should be ready to face the consequences thereafter either good or bad. Gambling has been there for ages and once you are not being forced, you should not cry foul. You do not have the right to blame a friend, family, your country's situation and not even the house, because you should have known what you are signing for as a result before you do so.

I often laugh when I see a lot on the internet when it is an emotional discussion about gambling, that is not necessary. I do say that emotion is a weakness, gambling could severely affect your life if care is not taken, so as an adult, you do not just dabble into a thing simple because your friend introduced it to you or you just found out they are doing it one way or another. You have to first research about it, then you learn it if you so desire to participate. And through learning, you should be able to know the good and the bad side of it, and after all these you still proceed in it, then you and only you are to be blamed.

Whomsoever that's putting blame on gambling for making their life unbearable or drawing their dreams backwards doesn't even have a vision for their future because you can't tell me that a game you actually know that there are two things involved, either you lose or you win then you focused all your energy and money towards it with the belief that it will make you rich in life. Gambling itself is a risk and the gambler is also taking a risk as well so one ought to be mindful of how they take risk as there is an extent with which you can go in taking a risk and you will fail and find it difficult to rise again in life.

One shouldn't take because gambling also have the possibility to make one wealthy and now take gambling as a habit to extent that you can't even go a day without playing gamble and one shouldn't take because you're inquisitive of winning and deprive yourself of some life obligations you needed to achieve just because of gambling. Gambling of a truth has made some persons in life and also damaged the life of some people but the possibility of winning is very far from the possibility of losing because most gamblers always experience losses it's only few that have made it through gambling so this statistics is good enough to ring a bell to people to be careful when going about their gambling life. A game that you knew the possibility of losing is higher than that of winning means you ought to be very careful while going about it.

It takes some grace for gamblers who won from gambling to invest the money on something good, majority of them would rather keep gambling to make more money so stop saying that people are winning and having a change of life through gambling, not all of them are free from the gaze of gambling, it's not as that easy.

Those who are warning gamblers about the self destruction in gambling are not saying it wrong, they are right and accurate about it, do you know how easy it is to lose everything in gambling? Gambling can easily hinder your future plans if care isn't taken, that's why I believe that gambling is not for everybody, some people are so weak at taking the right decisions in life and some gets too attached to everything they do.

You should not blame gambling when you are unlucky and you should not rely on gambling as your source of income, it's about luck and it's never going to work out for you everytime you gamble, for a lot of people, it's better not to gamble at all and do something else, because when its the time to stop it can be difficult to put an end to everything.

 People will always need to blame someone for their misfortunes especially when it comes to gambling but you'd hardly accrediting their successes to someone else and that's the funny thing about life. I have a friend who I keep my distance from if I know he lost because any thing I say may be used against me.  ..gamblers ought to know that there are good days as well as there are bad, the same way you celebrate when you rake in a win, also take it in same stride when you lose so that way you can keep a cool head when staking the next time.
 Although is not everyone who does that blaming act, these set of people when they lose, they'll quietly leave without looking for who to blame or even causing any problem. We should know that the main reason why they blame someone is  to pass on that anger to the nearest victim to express themselves and sometimes it get them in a fight, so is best to avoid anyone who has lost a bet if not you become the devil that made them lose.

Although for some people gambling indeed has given the capital to start whatever business they want to do and for others the money they could live from during the rest of their lives, no one should count on the same fate. We should be aware that it's possible and may hope that it will happen to us too, but we must know the probability of us losing is slightly higher than that of winning. And then later, if we lose, we shouldn't blame anyone but ourselves, because we knew that that was the most probable outcome.

Right. Trying to mimic someone else's success in gambling can lead to a tricky mindset. It's easy to get caught up in the idea that you'll hit the jackpot too and regret often kicks in when things don't pan out. Knowing when to step in and more importantly, when to step out is so important

People only care with their own selves, that's why when something bad happens on them, they will make a complaint and give excuses to make them get a benefit.

For the casino, the best is ban them even though they're give money to the casino, but still the time spent to take care of them is more valuable than the money they had donated.

For other people, it's the best to avoid them because they can make create unnecessary dramas because they're have narcissist personality disorder.

there is a difference between Addicted gamblers and just a Normal gamblers mate, and those that you are
mentioning who have ruined their life are Addicted one and not like us who are just normal or occasional gamblers only.

but actually the topic is for those who are blaming everything because of what had happened to their life
but the truth is? this is about their own mistakes.

Gambling is for mature minds and not for irresponsible people. I think this is the reason why there is a minimum age limit people should attain before they are allowed to gamble. An understanding that gambling is unpredictable will help people understand that they might win today and lose the next time they bet. Most people who lament about their loss are people who gamble more than they can afford to lose.
 Gamble is not dangerous it is simply risky. You risk your money to get fun and more money. This is a forum and you cannot stop people from sharing their gambling experience. Anyway anybody who concludes that gambling is bad is ignorant because it has so many benefits if handled responsibly. If one can control his gambling activities, such a person will find it interesting.
Gamble for me is a game that gives me fun as I also expect to make some profit. It has never had any negative consequences on my finances, health, family relationships, and other areas of my life. I try as much as possible to gamble within my means and this is done by following strictly my gambling plan.

Well, you have a point. However we know majority of gamblers are just losing their money than winning because of the house edge. There might be gamblers who are fortunate to hit a jackpot but we know there's only few. It's not similar to other investment opportunities (though there's also a risk) that you can influence the outcome to gain profit.

Because in gambling you have to accept the fact that losing is inevitable. That being said, if you can't stand losing your money then don't gamble, simple as that. Luck is a major factor to win in gambling so keep that in mind before blaming gambling (or anyone who attracted you to play) just because you lose your money.

I kept seeing or hearing people or gamblers that made themselves stupid for blaming gambling , blaming other people or even blaming something because of their own mistakes.

Gambling is one thing that we all agreed to play and lose, we are not even forced to bet so how much are we stupid blaming people?

But thanks for this reminder mate and let this be the peoples marking to not blaming others for their losses.

When anyone messes up in thier lives they would need someone or something to blame upon. This called denial to believe that they did wrong. I have rarely seen anyone accepting that the fault lies within. I don't agree that gambling should be blamed for the loss. At the same time I don't agree that some people have made fortune through gambling. I would say a handful of few have made it big whereas a large group has lost everything. I also don't agree that gambling itself is a wrong activity as in our life we always gamble in various stages. Getting addicted to gambling can ruin anyone and those blaming gambling are the one who have ruined themselves due to addiction.

Well, gambling have not come through for me in any way, possibly because I am not that regular, but then, I still love gambling and do encourage any body interested to give it a try as long as they stick to the rules, no body knows where their blessing and financial breakthrough will come from.

I used to be one of those people that hated gambling and gamblers alike, because the society I lived in made me believe that gambling is an irresponsible thing to do, and that only irresponsible people gamble.
So, I myself being someone who was raised with moral values, I hated anything that is irresponsible, and gambling, as well as gamblers happened to be one of those, I never had anything to do with gamblers, until I meet someone who changed everything, and today, gambling have become something I love engaging in from time to time.

One thing I normally say on this forum is that, those who are castigating gambling, and discouraging people from engaging in it, and yet, wearing signature that belong to a gambling casino, are nothing but confused beings.
