Topic: stop the unnecessary blame on gambling whenever you get unlucky - page 14. (Read 2235 times)

You are coming up with the assumption that the amount of people, who lost from gambling is equal to the amount of people, who won from gambling. This is too far away from the truth. The amount of gambling addicts, who ruined their lives is way bigger than the people, who profited from gambling. In fact, I don't know about anyone, who changed his life for good because of a big win from a casino.
I agree that the blame game is pointless, but don't try to paint a picture, that isn't real. The gambling industry isn't as balanced as life in general. There is a reason why "the casino always wins". If the amount of winners was equal to the amount of losers, the gambling industry wouldn't be so profitable.

Like what I have read about various gamblers whose lives have been ruined because gambling is something for me, if I look at it from another angle, it seems that it is not, because if that is true, then all the gamblers who are playing games now have ruined all their lives, right?

There are others whose lives have improved because of gambling, but there are also others who have ruined themselves and their lives. Other gamblers prospered or became rich because of gambling, and also because of gambling, they became poor again.

Only dumb people would blame the casino for what they have experience especially if its negative on their side. If they could just able to think accurately on what actions they have done for sure they will be curious to know the risky action they made also those bad decisions they drop. They also get ashame for blaming the casino for encountering a bad luck and provably they could learn a lot of lesson for those mistakes.

Gambling will be dangerous if only the person conducting the activity doesn't have good discipline and expecting some passive from it since usually they are the one will face a harsh result then provably encounter such huge lose that they can't imagine. After that those addiction will follow that's why we need to be aware on the risk and think about good thing about gambling and also have fun rather than thinking always on the profit they can possibly earn there.

If people scream about how gambling is destroying them, it is their own fault. They should introspect themselves on how they use gambling. Gambling will not ruin their lives if they can use gambling as intended.

They forget that gambling is just entertainment and there is no need to gamble too often or too seriously. This prevents more losses so they do not experience losing their money. If they can have self-control and strict discipline, they will not experience many losses. They can also use gambling as a means to have fun.

If they can use gambling well, they can get pleasure from gambling, especially if they can gamble moderately and not use gambling as a way to make money.

Do you really think people will magically stop blaming gambling whenever they lose? Anyone who thinks like that are way too naive and gullible since people always find something/someone to try and blame for their losses.

They try to reduce their own guilt by diverting the blame towards something/someone which is basic human nature.

It is unfortunately in our nature to find excuses for our actions, when something goes wrong. The thing with gambling is that too many people do not understand the basic concept that a higher percentage of people have to lose for a small percentage of people to win.

They do not understand things like RTP / Variance / house edge and how things like the RNG and client/server seed are working.

So people make up things, based on their own lack of understanding to shift the blame for their lack of knowledge.

This is all caused by someone's lust which is very big in themselves when playing gambling, they often forget about the finances they have and in addition the chance of winning at gambling is not commensurate with the losses they achieve, that is where someone's mistake lies in  gambling on all things that can make them get money instantly.  and in the end they forget that it is a bad thing that will happen to their personal economy in the future, it is difficult to get out if someone feels comfortable when playing gambling.

It depends. In poker, sports betting and horse racing you can. In the rest of casino games it is not, but many problems would be avoided if people understood in depth concepts such as the House Edge. One would like to think that a solution would be that concepts like that and others would be taught in high school, but if basic financial training is not taught, there is no way that curricula with chapters with mathematics applied to gambling will be implemented.

People need to understand that gambling is considered as game of luck. It’s not a game of skill. I mean you can’t just enhance your skill in order to win the games. If your luck is not good, then you can’t win the games. No matter what strategy you apply or how you play. Yes the blaming is done in order to calm down the brain for losses. In gambling in order to win the games, you just need a good luck. That’s all.

Everyone makes a choice when they first sign up to a gambling site, they either know that they will lose their money eventually or they have a plan to make what little they can and run away with it. If you play the game properly and happen to live in places where it's available, there are a whole host of opportunities to make money with "matched betting" and welcome bonuses. If you have the discipline to unlock this free cash, you can leave the gambling scene a winner and never return. Optionally, there are many free games out there and you can play them as long as the casino doesn't ban your account. People who talk about being unlucky, are the ones who didn't do research and figure out that the mathematics is stacked against them ever winning.

There is no point in blaming the games or blaming the casinos. people buy cars and every day we see on TV and in the newspapers saying that there have been many car accidents with many deaths. But even so, every day car manufacturing companies continue to manufacture cars and more people continue to buy cars, because it's not the cars' fault. the blame and the people. The same thing happens with alcoholic beverages, every day we hear in the news that many people are dying in accidents because they were under the influence of alcohol, but no government has banned beer and wine factories. on the contrary, presidents of countries have been seen celebrating with wine. That's because it's the people's fault, not the wines.

people should be honest with themselves, when they cannot achieve something, then they should first look for information and practice and then execute that thing. By this I mean that those people who enter casinos without having knowledge about games and do not know that games are not a guaranteed source of income, must first study the games and the casino before creating an account. because this way they will avoid creating high expectations when they enter the casino, they will know that they will not obtain constant profits, and that the only thing they will obtain will be fun

See the sad thing is the moment you start relying on gambling or trusting it to turn around your life in one moment, you already lost. Unlike investing, which is something you'd truly spend time and effort to make it work, gambling is purely about luck. And just by its definition, luck isn't really something you'd want to rely on all the time. While it's understandable that we all want that moment where we can turn our lives around, which is to say, luck, relying on gambling, which is another form of luck, just seems really dumb. it's like relying on luck squared.

Since people fail to realize that, they start thinking that gambling is just like any other opportunity out there which they can blame. Like that bad manager that refused to promote you, the industry you're in just refused to improve, and stuff like that.

I mean in the end, we have nothing to blame on this but ourselves since we are the ones who make the decision, I get your point here where gambling is not really a bad thing to anyone, in my perspective gambling is entertainment and yes for sure it is not something that is totally bad depends on how you're going to gamble, you could totally gamble responsible and moderately and not get any problems or probably even win sometimes. But I guess the problem here is just how people see gamble just like what you have said there are people who win a huge amount on a gamble and change their life here which is for sure not something that you might want to try on a gamble because this surely involves some luck not just something that has some kind of blueprint in order to win. Gambling is for sure not the quick way to get rich, maybe because you could easily get rich on gamble if you are lucky but it might be the other way around if you're not careful, so just dont look at gamble as something that you could use as an income or something where you could earn a huge amount of money easily since it is for sure a double edge sword that could easily destroy your life.

If you already have the money put it on some kind of investment like cryptocurrency for sure, or do a legitimate business that could give you income, we already know how risky gambling is so just dont put your money on it before you regret it, we already witness a lot of people destroy there life on gambling at least dont go all in on gambling, invest on something like real estate, apartments, stocks, cryptocurrency, etc. which will make more sense.

Those are immature behaviour of people/gamblers who doesn't want to attest their responsibilities when gambling. These are same people who always regrets their moves and blaming others is their defense mechanism to make them feel good after gambling. This also happens when emotions controls your moves and decisions. In simple terms, these are behaviour of problematic gambler.

  I am aware that gambling is just a mere speculation of event and nothing is certain but then same thing applies to investing, the level of uncertainty in investing is inevitable and cannot be overlooked, just like any investment gambling involves profit and loss, it might not be an investment plan for the bettor but it definitely is for the casinos and online gambling site owners. So you can see how similar they all are. The context of the post is not to make people rely on gambling after all we all know that gambling is mainly for the fun and shouldn’t be used as a major source of income.
   Being a source of income for the casino owners makes it an investment for that person. Also it is not new that gambling as really help a lot of people to gather up capital to start a new business for themselves, with right strategy and discipline anybody can achieve success in gambling.  Gambling is a game of chance, and hence the theory of probability and chance calculations apply in full measure. Moreover, those who depend on gambling to either become rich or to make a livelihood are basically who are lazy and don't wish to work . Easy money makes one greedy also. I have seen several people lose everything after they won the first round..out of sheer greed to win more. Life has an element of luck in it, but is not totally based on luck.
  

What always come to my mind whenever i see this kind of topic it the possibility of having a gambler who blames the casino for they loses, because most of the time, their blames always go to a friend or individual who give them the bet if that be the reality of the case, but if not then they can also transfer the blame to other family members, because when it becomes so obviously unbearable for them, and the dont have the courage to accept that their have themselves to blame then the blame games set in for them and at that point the tend to shift it to someone else.


But gambling should be done with almost description since at some level, it only take the individual to gamble and come out with whatever outcome.

The main reason why people crying over every little lost in gambling is because they have centered themselves to make profits from gambling but without knowing that it doesn't work that way, at first the must have this mindset that is just a game without rewards and if they have this in their minds it would be more better than put their whole lives out there thinking the very moment they steps into gambling their whole story would change overnight that's why we see people easily got addicted at the process of constantly betting it turns into addiction whereby they would have to channel their blames on gambling how it has damaged their life's.

Exactly! , honestly, the idea of gambling or gambling games is not to blame or to treat as bad hubbies because the people are the ones who put money into gambling, and at first gamblers only know how risky and dangerous gambling is but still proceed on doing so. The ones that should be blamed by those gamblers are themselves, no other than them, because they are the ones that make the decision; they are the ones that can't control themselves from gambling too much if they're unlucky, and they know that they should already stop but instead still continue until there is no more money left, and then proceed with blaming that luck is not favouring them. Yes, now a days gambling is being treated as bad deeds, but they don't see that the one who is bad or the cause of misfortune is themselves also, those blamers are  not thinking logically.

I get that you get to compare gambling and investments because of losing and profiting. But many are also considering it the wrong way because of that comparison and whether we believe it or not, there are gamblers think that gambling is investing.

But the fact there is that it is becoming an investment when you invest to a bankroll and be with the casino that allows it and not actually the one who gambles and be against the casino.

Going on with blaming, many times we've seen that a lot have lost and they have no one to blame but the casino for any reason that they can invent. But it all sums up that it's their problem, they have a gambling problem and they shouldn't resonate to anyone to blame for their losses but only themselves.

The ratio of those who have got helped through gambling to set up themselves is relatively low compared to the numbers of those who have lost their money and becoming bankruptcy, this is what have been onnthe average and we have to accept that reality, and despite the fact that we can undermind that possibility but we still need to point out the obvious truth that the numbers of successful gamblers are less comparde to the problematic gamblers.

And all that is as a result of the outcome of theor gambling results and realities, so gambling shouldn't be taken as a way to financial freedom and we should only gamble because of the fact that we have some level of fun and staking only an amount we can afford to lose and be comfortable with so we don't have to blame the casino or gambling for whatever realities that weay face at some point in time when you feel you need to blame someone for the reality of things.
