Topics like this reminds me of the various accusations created by people who always try to find loopholes in a casino's terms and conditions. I'm talking about those who apply for self-exclusions and then creates other accounts to play again. They complain after losing the money claiming that the casino should have blocked their deposit to the second account.

In gambling if we win, then this is our merit, if we lose this is due to someone else fault. People never accept failure or defeat. And I dont know how to change such attitude. There is no course or medicine that removes such feeling. Imho we are left simply to accept that fact and dont pay much attention to those who blame others or in their failures.
I agree with it. Its reflects a common cognitive bias known as the "self-serving bias." This bias leads individuals to attribute success to their own actions and failures to outside influences. Changing such attitudes can be challenging because they're deeply rooted in human psychology. However, fostering self-awareness, promoting responsibility for one's actions, and emphasizing learning from failures can help shift this mindset.

People need to understand that they need to make up their minds before they start gambling that if they lose, they are going to blame themselves for it and if they can't do that, they shouldn't gamble in the first place. You take all the credit when you win, so why not take the blame when you lose?
Those individuals blaming others when they're losing are those that'll keep losing when they're gambling as they're not learning anything from the mistakes that they're making. Gambling should be for entertainment and when you lose, you should accept your losses and instead of blaming others you should take the responsibility and work on the things that made you to fail as greed and not being very careful of what you're doing can make you to lose as gambling isn't for every individuals.
There are some individuals that they'll always lose when they gamble but they don't stop gambling as they believe that they can win one day but they have being playing for a very long time yet they're not winning. Before Gambling always, try to taste the difference types of games available at the casino so you can know which game that you're lucky at and always gamble with that game to increase your chances.

Individuals who are constantly searching for someone or something to blame for their losses are not mature. Blaming won't even make up the money you lost; accepting responsibility for your actions is the best course of action. Additionally, I dislike those who criticize or even assign blame, even when their acts were the cause. And the reason they place the blame is that they always strive to appear flawless, as though they never make mistakes, and when professionals falter, it speaks more well of common people.
When the time comes when they will be unable to place the blame anywhere, they will turn their attention to finding ways to make up for their losses. They fail to see that there is no shame in losing. No one would hold me responsible for introducing them to gambling because I don't even introduce people to it, and even if I did, why would you hold me responsible when it was all a question of choice? Not a single cause to assign blame. Either they blame the casino or say anything it won't change anything.

Some individuals naturally are good at holding an external factor for any misfortune in there life. When they have fortune they take the glory and boast that the fortune is as a result of self effort. Personally, I don't see such people as immature as you noted because some people see it as a big deal accepting failure and so instead of accepting failure they prefer to apportion the blame to a factor so that people will not see them as been misfortune. To them, their concern is not about making better choices next time but to control how people will view their actions.
Unfortunately, such way of living doesn't change anything. If you are unlucky and then blame it on gambling, the fact that you are unlucky haven't changed. My humble advise is that instead of blaming gambling efforts should be made to make corrections subsequently because you function for yourself and so you need to make life worth living for yourself and so should blame gambling at all when things doesn't go as desired.

Yesterday was a day like those with Real Madrid playing like a lower league team in the Champions League and presented a very bad way of playing football.They were lucky to even get past this elimination leg as they were nearly beaten at home yesterday when Leipzig hit the post in the last minute of the game.
Therefore sometimes gambling is to blame as no one expected yesterday Real to be playing that bad and not being able to win their game.
I believe even in those situations, one shouldn't blame gambling for their loss, it should be on your luck if you had bet on Real Madrid or any other team to win but they lost miserably because you decided to gamble and gambling didn't force you to do that. So, when we make a decision ourselves, we should be ready to take credit for whatever happens whether it brings success or failure for us.Therefore sometimes gambling is to blame as no one expected yesterday Real to be playing that bad and not being able to win their game.
People need to understand that they need to make up their minds before they start gambling that if they lose, they are going to blame themselves for it and if they can't do that, they shouldn't gamble in the first place. You take all the credit when you win, so why not take the blame when you lose?

People need to hold onto something. So I think, when losing in gambling, they need to blame something since they can't really pinpoint who to blame because it is themselves that do the betting. They can even go deeper by blaming some of the people who introduced gambling to them, or they can blame the team and think that those games are rigged and being controlled by some group or mafia so they can take profit from them. Or blame the casino or the gambling app, saying that casinos are manipulating the game. If the gambler keeps going like this, he or she might get addicted since he or she cannot control his or her emotions.
As gamblers, we should not blame everything when we lose. Since "gambling" is risky, we should know that in the first place. So whenever consequences come, you should face them and take them.

In gambling, whether we are lucky or not, we must be able to control ourselves. Because there will only be 2 things that happen, the first is when we realize that we are not lucky but we still continue gambling, that means we are in an emotional state that controls us. And when we are lucky and win gambling and we continue because we want to win bigger, that means we are in a state controlled by greed. We must anticipate this, one of which is by applying limits when losing and when winning. This can minimize us from being controlled by emotions or greed that will arise within us. Yes, it's not easy, but that doesn't mean it can't be done, right?
I agree with you on the importance of control in every gambler. Gamblers who gamble responsibly are gamblers with control. Gambling can bring pleasure, excitement, fun and even harmless when done with a limit. Lack of control can cause financial ruin and even personal problems like causing strain in the gambler`s relationship. As you mentioned, two main emotional states can lead to a loss of control in gambling: chasing losses when one is on a losing streak, and greed when one is on a winning streak.
Chasing losses is a common phenomenon in gambling where a person continues to gamble in an attempt to recoup their losses. It’s necessary to set limits on how much one is willing to lose in a given session and stick to it, even if one experiences a losing streak. Applying limits when gambling is essential to maintaining control over one’s emotions and avoiding the negative consequences of gambling.
It's very true, things worked out like that , I personally have Always said something , the biggest mistake of every player in a casino is that they start looking for Culprits for their losses because that is something they can never cover, and blame the casino. It's something Worse, we all know that things with the casinos are different because the casinos ensure their way of winning, in Fact it is clear that they will always have the house advantage and that is something for sure , that is why sometimes we have to understand that the game is like that, it is not just a matter of luck, we may always have very good luck, 'but the casino will always guarantee its winnings, in fact that is Something we always have to accept, to be calm about things we are People who We have to see things from the best point of view and be mature when seeing that some designs of the game work like this , especially for those who play slots the most.
The truth upon reflection is that the gambler has no one to blame but himself.
Firstly, for going there and indulgence of a few games,
Secondly, for the even staking instead of being an onlooker.

Its humans nature never accept loss and always find reasons in someone in somewhere, when they itself are the reason for that loss. Few people can accept that they were wrong and admit it. Many will always search who to blame and find 100 excuses why they have lost. They do it for two reason, they are always right/they cant be wrong. This applies to all areas. In gambling they lose because of someone. On the forum they dont get merit because people are greedy. At work they earn low, because the boss has favorite colleagues, at school/university they fail because teachers on purpose put them low grades, food that they prepared taste bad because ingredients were spoiled and etc.
Yeah, but it's to our benefit to stop thinking like that? I mean, we should stop to blame others when in fact it's we ourselves or our fates to blame. It will not improve our chances of winning on slots, but it will decrease negative effects our losses might have on us for sure, and will our gambling experience better overall.
After all gambling is a profit-making activity that stands behind the word "chance or possibility" which means you can be in one of the outcomes at the end of the session between winning or losing, and also gambling is an activity that is always at risk which means however you can never avoid losing and if you lose then it is normal because gambling is not an activity to make money but nothing more than an activity to have fun when you have boring free time. Simply put if you lose it means you are unlucky or vice versa, therefore the act of blaming others for the losses we experience is ridiculous.

Right, you can win and you can lose, and that depends on luck entirely. So, if you lose blame your fates, but not some other people. I mean, gambling industry consist of real people like you and me, and if you are blaming gambling, you are basically blaming real people too.

basically yes, I have noticed that it is our nature to do this kind of work, we are the type who is really at fault. but we try to find someone else or a way to blame someone, maybe because of our pride, we cannot accept that we are really wrong but deep inside we know in ourselves that we are the ones who have failed and don't know how to understand.
but trust me that once we overcome this we will be successful in all field that we are aiming to win.

A lot of people have been clamoring about how gambling has ruined their life but same gambling has set some people up for life, just like every other form of investment there must always be a profit or a loss. And life is so balanced that what works for Mr A might not be the same that works for Mr B. Likewise in gambling, while some are crying about their loss they are some who are smiling and celebrating their win.
Gambling has been seen as a very dangerous thing base on some people's point of view here in the forum whereas in reality it has given some people the capital to start what ever business they want to do. My point in this post is that we shouldn’t just paint gambling all black because some people have fail to stick to the discipline of gambling.
I believe that before one make a decision in life, they should've already weighed the consequences of making the right or wrong choice, then put their fate on luck coupled with their little knowledge concerning what they're about to decide on, so why complain and play the blame game when things go wrong? "Share your thought on how gambling has come through for you if you got any".
I think it is wrong to compare gambling to "every other form of investment", as it's not true. The main factor being the black and white nature of placing a bet. When investing, let's say the traditional method through the stock market, if you stick with big and solid companies - you have very little chance of losing all your money. Even if things start to go bad at the company, there will be many opportunities to cash out and get some of your investment back. However with the short time frames and absolute nature of placing a bet, where the final outcome is you lose everything if it fails - is a misleading comparison.
